Oh the life of a mother...CAUTION...not for the weak of stomach

You know back in elementary and middle school days when you used to play MASH or MASHO with your friends...everyone would always add at least one of the worst jobs they could think of to the occupation category in hopes of a good laugh when you got stuck with it (what job comes to mind is pooper scooper)...however, I don't think MOM was ever put on that list...not to say it is a bad job but sometimes it can be a dirty one and stinky! So since this morning I had noticed a foul smell coming from our bathroom....this wouldn't be the first time as we have had plenty of mishaps in there including a dead bird stuck in our dryer vent.  Well finally tonight when I was brushing my teeth I decided to investigate.  Since Griffin has been potty trained we have had a few surprises but none of these could compare to what I was about to discover....Maybe I should have guessed considering a couple mornings ago, Rock woke up to Griffin using the bathroom for #2 and the first thing he said to Rock was, "Dad I've been pooping all morning!"  Well, first I checked all around the toilet...nothing of consequence.  Next the trash can, toilet paper holder, and plunger...all good.  Next was the toilet brush and holder which I was saving for last on purpose.  Bingo....the culprit....I lifted the brush out of the holder and found a puddle inside of the most disgusting mixture you could imagine with little turds stuck to the bristles of the brush!! AHHH! I gagged and coughed and had to leave the room for a few seconds to get myself together...mind you this had been marinating for a couple days now!  Well, Rock laughed and tried to lend support while I dumped the contents and threw the toilet brush in a dumpster far far away.  Funny that Griffin kept saying today how bad it smelled in the bathroom as well....and we thought diapers were bad....potty training takes the cake!!!  I think Griffin saw us trying to unclog the toilet one time and just thought he would try the same thing....lets pray I never have to do that again!  Sorry if this was too much for anyone...I did caution you! :)
