day 5 blog

HELLO BLOGGERS!!!!! How is everyone’s Tuesday? Hope it’s good; mine has been in a pool of pee. Lol. I swear I have not cleaned up so much pee in my life. Thing one has been potty trained for a year but we have been putting her to bed in a diaper. Why? Because she sleeps like a rock. Nothing can wake that child up after she has fallen asleep. So last night I thought I might as well try and see what she does, and of course she peed the bed. Not mad at her. I knew she would. Also, my Thing 2 is three years old, so I figured it was time for him to start learning as well. So all day long he has been wearing underwear…ugg. Like I said- I have never cleaned up so much pee in my life. He is doing ok. It’s just sometimes I don’t think he understands the feeling of when he has to go. Oh and O my goodness boys pee so much more often than girls do. NO JOKE!!!! He will pee three or four times an hour. Hopefully I have enough underwear to last the whole day. He is doing good for the most part considering it is the first day that he has really worn underwear. I have started a sticker sheet for him. Went and bought stickers so he could pick out which sticker he wanted and put it on the sheet every time he goes to the big boy potty!!! He seems to like this idea. A LOT!!!! So hopefully this will help move along the process. Thing 1 came to us and said she was ready. My thing 2 is not so ready but next year I want to try and get him in head start because he won’t be able to start pre-k ‘til he is 5 and I don’t want him to fall behind because he is a very, very smart boy. He can name 20 different dinosaurs and what they eat and how big they are. SO SMART!!!! I am sure that we can get his potty training down by next august! 

With that: what in the world am I going to do next year? Thing 1 will be going all day to school, and thing 2 will hopefully be in head start (don’t know if the one here is an all day program or not). What am I going to do with all that free time? If it’s an all day head start I might get a job, maybe I will even see about starting school again? That would be nice if I could go back to school but my husband will be starting school in august so I don’t think I will be able to go at the same time as him. I will need his help with school more then he will need mine. So I am thinking I will have to wait. Which is ok because I’m not necessarily 100% sure that I know what I want to do. I would love to be a librarian but in this state I’m not sure I would be able to get a job at the school, which is where I would want to work. I will have to look more into that. 

I think today is emotional for me. Talking about all this potty training and my children heading off to school has got me all up on an emotional rollercoaster. Sitting next to my son just now. I looked over at him and took his hand in mine and I told him I loved him (of course he ignored me because cartoons were on). Then I started noticing how big his hands were getting; then looked at his feet and noticed how big they were getting. He is most defiantly not my little baby boy anymore. His hands and feet used to be 10 times smaller than they are now! (tears) In all these years I knew my kids were getting bigger- I mean goodness they haven’t had the same shoe size in 2 years. But I just am not ready for them to grow up. I feel like the next thing I know, they will be in high school and be too cool for mommy. Whereas right now, I am their best friend, their confidant when they have secrets, their playmate, and their mommy. But soon I will just be annoying mom that asks too many questions, and is to overbearing. (more tears) I need another baby so I don’t have to worry so much. Lol. Just kidding; that won’t happen. Two is enough for us (I guess sad face).

Now for just a little bit of randomness… DO PEOPLE REALLY JUMP OFF OVERPASSES ON TO SPEEDING SEMIS? I mean you see it in movies; did they get that idea because actual criminals and cops do that? Or was it just some random thing they made up that stuck and now everyone uses it in their movies?  If it is real I so want to see someone in real life do that. And I mean that as literally as possible, and If I knew I wasn’t going to die doing it, I might even be willing to try, but I know I would die so I just want to see someone do this!!!

That’s all for today; don’t want to bore you too much with my thoughts lol. Hope you all have a great night! 

Blog you tomorrow!
