Bleah!
Today’s cereal: Brown Sugar PopTart. Would’ve had Pops, though, if I could have.
I’m in the office today. It is always a huge, huge task to get out the door on the day I go into the office. It’s very difficult trying to put on make-up and fix your hair with a two-year-old wailing at your ankles and a baby that won’t let you put her down. And actually getting into the car is a feat in itself. I’ve got to get my purse, my briefcase, my breastpump, the little cooler to store the milk, my lunch, the diaper bag, the carseat with the baby, and The Boy all in the car. By 8:30. It usually happens at 9:00. Wednesdays mornings are a nightmare.
This morning topped the Worst Wednesdays list because in my rush to get out the door, I FORGOT TO BRUSH MY TEETH. I had to stop at the Albertson’s by my work and buy a toothbrush. And then I had to use the icky, stinky bathroom in my office. It creeped me out, because I could FEEL other people’s poo germs being brushed into my teeth. I feel a little ill.

I always use the poo spray (with disinfectant) before I brush my teeth in the office RR. Not that I do it all the time, but it keeps me from snacking in the afternoons if my teeth are minty fresh.
honey, you need to buy some gum and never, ever brush your teeth in the bathroom at work
Have you seen these Brush Ups things, they come in little packets you tear open, and put it on your finger, and rub it over your teeth. Me, I'd possibly use a couple of them.
So you don't need water or anything, and it freshens you up, or so it looks like (I have not tried them, myself).
and maybe I don't want to know, but what's a poo spray? Sounds stinky . . .
oh, and a tip: I read the results of a study, where they say in public restrooms, the FIRST stall is practically always the cleanest. People usually skip that one and go to another.
After reading that, I realize yeah, psychologically, for some unknown reason, one always heads for a different one.
I have encounted many more freshly cleaned toilets this way (w/the lid still up from when it was cleaned, and everything) since doing this.
This easily applies to say theater restrooms, but ones with only 2 stalls probably don't really fit this. And 3 stalls, might fit it a little bit, but 3 isn't many choices.
Poo spray = Lysol. I wondered about those Brush-ups. Anyone ever used them? But I decided I needed a new toothbrush anyways.
Amen to Anonymous! I went in the bathroom first thing to take care of my teeth, and someone was in one of the stalls. I just couldn't do it-- I couldn't brush my teeth when someone was defecating two feet away. I had to wait like an hour, with fuzzy teeth, trying not to talk to anyone. Will never do it again.
Don't bother with the brush-ups. They're awkward to use, they taste funny and they don't work.
Poor girl. That bathroom is gross. If it happenes again, maybe you can go to the 3rd floor. A little better but not by much. I keep mouth wash in my backpack. If I ever need to freshen up, I only have to go into the restroom to spit.
i like the brush ups. i keep a few in my car and at my desk.
too bad us mommies can't stay at home with our little ones. that would be heaven, for me, at least.
they don't care if we have stinky breath or a little peanut butter in our hair. they adore us :)
You're making me feel very lucky I don't work... the horror of the restrooms is scaring me way more than that kitty cat.
And the low fat brown sugar PT are better than the regular ones. They're awesome! :)
