Motherhood Is Messy

And sometimes, pretty gross

Did any of you enjoy a pleasantly uncomplicated Mother's Day yesterday?

My day wore me out big time, folks. It was… gross. Lol. So so gross. The day was hysterically gross in that laughable way that all moms get to know early on.

Skip this post if you can't tolerate bathroom humor… I'll try to describe it all to you in the least gross way possible, though.

You've been warned 😹
