Good morning and Happy Monday to all my Mom Sexy ladies out there! I cannot thank you enough for all of the wonderful comments that you left me on Friday’s post. You have convinced me even more that I need to start a movement to Bring Mom Sexy Back!
Thanks to some inspiration from my bloggy sis, Shell, at Things I Can’t Say, there is going to be a new monthly “Mom Sexy” feature at The Mommyologist. Be sure to come back on Thursday for all of the details…it’s gonna be so much fun!
For the past week or so, I’ve been feeling like a million bucks. In fact, I’ve been on sort of a “sexy high horse” since starting a 14-day cleanse, discovering my new found Zumba addiction, and from hearing all of the uplifting words of encouragement from my fellow blog buddies. I’m so into this whole “Mom Sexy” thing that I’ve even found myself shaking my ass while loading the dishwasher. It’s like I’m finding my inner 21 year old or something like that. And I’m LOVING it. But that doesn’t mean that I’ve forgotten the fact that I am a MOM.
Yesterday, the hubster and I took our son to a birthday party at The Little Gym, which is one of those gymnastics places just for kiddos. The party was for my good friend Kim’s little boy who was turning three. His two-year old birthday party was also held at the same place last year, but I have pretty much put that particular party out of my mind because the memories of what went down that day are still a little too fresh.
You see, we had to leave within the first half hour of that party because my son was extremely constipated and had a ginormous turd that he just couldn’t seem to pass. It was horrible. He was screaming, and that log was stuck in his little bum like a cork, and once we finally got home it took him about 30 minutes to squeeze it out. And then he laid in my arms for the rest of the afternoon because he was so traumatized. And honestly, I was pretty traumatized too.
I wasn’t sure how much of the rock hard turd incident my son actually remembered. Why in the hell do I underestimate him? The kid has a complete and total photographic memory.
We walked into the party yesterday and my friend Kim was there to greet us, and my son looked right at her and immediately went into a recount of the whole poop saga. We all had a good laugh, and I was just glad that he’d gotten it out of his system and hopefully wouldn’t mention the dreaded incident again.
I followed my son into the gym, and they were sitting all the kids down for circle time. I went and joined the circle with him, and they started going around the room to have each child introduce themselves. It got pretty quiet, and before the first kid could tell everyone his name, my little guy spoke up and said:
“This is the place where I had a really big stuck poop last year!”
And that calls for a…..
There’s nothing like your kid announcing to a room full of strangers that he had a big stuck poop in his bum to remind you of your place in the grand scheme of things.
But I just smiled and laughed it right off. And it reminded me that I may be a Mom, but being able to find the humor in poop and still shake my booty like a 20 year old makes me Mom Sexy.
Can’t wait to share my newest feature with all of you on Thursday!

Oh, gosh! Yes, kids know how to remember those things we wish everyone would forget…and share them with everyone!
(Thank goodness he only had this happen *once*. I had a child who went through this with every bowel movement *for a year.* A few times we had to take her to the doctor to have it removed. Not a good thing at all.)
Oh my goodness. I love how kids can just honestly say what is going on in their minds, no need to hold anything back.
Go mom! You rock. I am terrified of what may be coming out of my little guy’s mouth in a couple of years, but your stories help ease the anxiety. =)
You are totally hilarious how you describe the situation! I can’t believe he remembered! I think you can only get this from boys…we are so lucky!
That is awesome! Gotta keep it real with the poop!
Oh wow! That is an impressive memory he’s got there. I haven’t decided if I want to share my weekend glam check in public or not. Let’s just say it involves jumping in a P90X video and some certain muscles that may have been weakened during childbirth. Apparently they haven’t gained back as much strength as I thought….
Kids can say the craziest things. ha ha. Well seems that you had quite a laugh at your little guys’s memory.
I’m still in postpartum healing so do me a favor and shake some mommy booty at your next class for me too okiedokie ;-}
LOL! My Buddy has an amazing memory as well. I wouldn’t put it past him to “alert the presses” of something like that as well.
How FUNNY! The things kids say crack me up. I can’t wait to read the big announcement on Thursday. I really think this “Mom Sexy” thing is going to make a big time run across the blogosphere. Let me know if you want some extra promotion for it! I’m on board.
Poor guy!! Does he still have problems? A little juice often does the trick for us…and lotsa lotsa water.
Just this morning my daughter announced that she had a wedgie in front of a very large group of other moms. We all laughed!
Ah the memory of a young child! Everything we wish they would forget they seem to cement in their brain with concrete! Can’t wait to hear about the new inspiration on Thursday!
Lol!! Too funny! Sounds great Ill be looking forward to reading
Oh man. Wait a minute? It’s not glamorous to talk about poop? I must make a mental note to myself. I feel like since I had Shaila, words like “poop,” “toot,” and “mommy, I made a big one! and it stinks!!” are all part of normal conversation
hahahhaha yes that did it for me. My oldest is obsessed with pooping. For some reason she ALWAYS has to tell people her poop stories. Like how she needs to eat more fiber so she doesn’t get “poop issues”
My hubby and I also say that we had no idea how much poop was going to take over our lives after we had gives.
But all in the day of being parents…
Love it! Kids are just so damn funny at times. Glad you could laugh it off and we all are mom sexy.
So funny! I am on board with the Mom Sexy plan. In fact, I have not stoppped thinking about it all weekend and finally had to tell DH what I was grinning about the whole time! I dont tell it as well as you, though. Anywho, I’m in! as a “wanna- mom sexy” – does that count?
Don’t they just remember everything?!?! That is soooo funny and embarrassing, lol. But hey we have kids so I guess we have to get use to that sort of stuff. I am dreading what my son will say in school…ekkk!
i think it was a great story! sure made me laugh! your little man is adorable, charmming, and funny (and has a great memory to boot). who could ask for more?! great seeing you guys yesterday. xox
LOVE it!!! I’m sorry but usually poop stories end up being some kind of funny!!!
So excited for Thursday’s post!!
That is classic!
Of the things that our kids say, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, right? My oldest is JUST starting to get to the age where he says things that I would MUCH rather he kept private. LOVE this new feature! =)

I love it!! Let’s face it, poop is funny! Seriously, you are mom sexy and I am so glad you are starting the revolution! See you on Thurs!
I have to laugh at little dude and all his poop/bum issues!
I can’t wait for your Mom Sexy to kick off! You sound so confident!
I hate to say it but no matter what age you are…there’s humor in poop!
Bwahahaha!! That is hilarious that he even remembered that!!
Kids. Crack. Me. Up.
xoxo
You go, you sexy Mama.
I love the things kids say. I need to bring my sexy back. I need some self confidence.
Glam check! We need those…oh…about every 5 minutes around here. ROFL!!
That made me laugh out loud. But of course, that’s motherhood. As soon as you start feeling really good about things, you get a total “glam check”. I feel like it’s the story of my life, these days!!
LOL That is a true Mommy Moment! Imagine what our single care free selves of ten years ago would say if they could see us know?
Great post!
LOL That’s hysterical! At least he’s able to laugh it off!
Oh how I love poop stories. My son walks around asking if he can have more fiber…he sounds like a little old man. I guess when you are little poop is a pretty big deal.
Amen and Amen. Those kids are always good for a quick and thorough reality check and I love that you’re rocking the sexy Mom. Good.For.You. I’m over from The Mother Load and I’m so glad I found you.
Oh, the poor thing. Kids have the best memories! They don’t forget much. I’m excited to see what you have for us on Thurs.!
Ok Mary, this story totally reminded me of my son’s “poop” story! Here goes…So his preschool has these little parties occasionally where they invite the parents and have treats for the kids. THe teacher sits them down in a circle and they sing little songs and show off what they have learned. So, she’s having them sing this song about making soup. Each kid gets to raise their hand and when called upon, announce what they want to put in the soup. So a couple kids go, when suddenly my kid raises his hand like he can’t possibly wait another second as he’s just thought of the perfect ingredient for this soup. The teacher can see his anticipation and immediately asks him, “Jonah, what do you want to put in our soup?” Even I can’t wait to hear what he is going to say! Right? Jonah smiles, pauses and then blurts out, “A BIG POOP!!!” My husband and I start to laugh hysterically because really, we don’t take these things too seriously! But the best part, the part I’ll enjoy telling Jonah about when he’s 20, is the look on Miss Sandy the teacher’s face!!! PRICELESS $$$$$
