The quick demise of the diaper bag, and almost my marriage.

There was recently an accident here on Barnett Drive. In a mad dash for making it to work on time the faithful and ever full batman diaper bag met its almost demise.

After the hubs fought with our crappy car seat for about five minutes and irritably removed himself from the car, he did not remove the bag from the pavement. So after climbing from the backseat to the front, all passengers tucked away neatly in the vehicle, the hubs put faithful Stella in reverse.

Now, before getting in the vehicle Chandler and I had been trying to get a cat to come close so we could pet it. The came about 3 feet from us and ran to the other side of the car. I never saw it again, so naturally when we heard a huge thump and snapping sound I thought the hubs ran over the poor creature. But after stopping we found an even more gruesome scene. The diaper bag had been a victim of an almost hit and run.

Jeez was this mom mad, and for no good reason other than the hubs getting frustrated with the car seat and me becoming frustrated with him. The one of the more exciting sides of marriage. =]

So angry and mortified I got out of the car to inspect the crime scene. It was a disaster, I'm surprised someone didn't call in reinforcements. Everything our kid needed at the babysitters was in that bag. All the formula the kid had, half a pack diapers, wipes, clothes and old faithful batman.  To add insult to injury a bottle of water was also in the bag. So, add a whole bottle of water and large container of formula, a nice little sticky paste was all over everything. It was horrible. Needless to say the hubs was late for work, and only half the container of formula was salvaged.

But after a good washing both batman and the diaper bag survived with out any long term injuries.

Such troopers. =]
you mean to tell me that batman almost kicked the bucket?!
