• Still don't...

    Have the balls to post anything on WritersCafe.org just yet. I plan to post at least ten chapters at once, for my first batch. Which means I have to get writing. I'll have to start that in the AM, bright and early while Willis has his NickJr time. I figure if I can work on Finding and Through, for m…
  • The Potty Training Chronicles Vol2

    After conferencing with my other mom friends on CafeMom about my potty training issue. We all decided it would be best to teach Willis the potty words. "Wet, potty,poo" ect ect. This would help him communicate much more effectively. A few suggested ideas on what kind of potty training devices. Some…
  • The Potty Training Chronicles Vol1- Maybe?

    So, my dearest Willis is closing in on 2.5 Years, and he's still not potty trained. I'm not sure if it's just sheer laziness on my part or if he's not ready. Talking to Josh, he suggested just taking Willis to the toilet a few times a day, if he happens to potty while doing that, give him a reward.…
  • New Super Undies!

    It's that time again! Potty training my littlest baby! She's halfway there, pretty much day trained and wakes up dry most mornings too. I kinda slacked with her, didn't really want to let go of my last baby.. or my dipes! Which I'm going to have to do since Raven won't wear them anymore :(. She turn…
  • Treasure turds!

    Today a friend told me not to pray for patience– that’s how she got kids, grandkids, and nieces and nephews. I told her not to worry because I can’t even handle my dog. Braxton is a rescue puppy. We don’t know his exact breed, but we call him a Chiweenie, the cutesified word…
  • 23.5 Month Update

    So here we are, less than 2 weeks until RJ's SECOND BIRTHDAY (ahhh!) and I'm just getting around to writing this update now. Bad Mommy. Discipline This past month (and a half) have been so, so great. I think RJ is starting to understand how to control his emotions, and we can handle his tantrums…
  • "I Have to Go Potty"

    As we all should know by now (okay, as all parents should know by now), potty training is a pain in the butt. We're going to be starting attempt #3. I was supposed to start June 1st, but when we woke up that morning and started off with a tantrum for having to sit on the potty, I was already annoye…
  • Potty Training...Take 2

    Since the weather is cold and rainy, I decided this weekend would be a good time to try potty training again. I reread the 3-day potty training manual and went full force with it today. It says to push fluids so they have to go to the bathroom more often. You constantly remind them to "tell mama w…
  • Date Night and Potty Training

    Last night was date night. We had dinner at a Brazilian Steakhouse. YUM! It was great food, but kinda loud in there. I'm realizing the older I get, the more I like having dinner at a quieter restaurant. It's just as important to me to have a good atmosphere as it is good food. It was a fun experien…
  • Discipline and Potty Training - HELP!!

    I guess I should start out by saying I'm a single mom to a very bright 2 1/2 year old. We've recently moved into a new apartment with my boyfriend who she refers to as dad though he's not her biological dad, but he loves her like his own. Lately I feel like anything I say to her goes in one ear an…
