I am celebrating Valentines day by not eating any carbs. (sobs, not the silent ones, scream out from under my arms as my head lands on the edge of my key board d,mzxvcn,xcz.cnz.vzc./nzcvn.vzcx)
I also made sugar cookies with my kids today. (sobs, now escaping J's mouth clear from the other room, where she's made herself try to go to sleep to stop from eating one)
Any hew. on to the little people.
Ryan stayed dry last night.
Nathan has slept in his bed the last 2 nights. CLEAR UNTIL THE MORNING.
And I haven't had to stick my hands in the toilet to wash out poopy anything since the last time I posted that the boys were completely potty trained :)
NOW....if I could some how figure out how to expand those little bladders....so that I don't have to run to the bathroom every 4-5 minutes. because if it's not one....it's the other one.
Also, how do I get my babies to clean...key word clean...up their pee, namely Nathan....he likes to stand now and isn't such a straight shooter. He has to pinch it to help the pee feeling come...so when it first comes out, he pees all over the back of the toilet. He corrects himself quickly...but quickly isn't keeping the toilet from being drenched in pee. So back to my problem. I have asked them to clean up after themselves and they either use a whole roll of toilet paper and make an even bigger mess...or a whole thing of wet wipes....because to them...they are toys not cleaning products.
I have them put away...so I have to physically go with them to the potty each and evey time. Thing is...I don't wanna. (whine whine whine) sometimes I just like to keep doing my thing while they goest and do theirs.
Any ways. IF someone knows how to accomplish both...a clean potty and independent pee'ers...I'd like to know the trick :)
Tonight we were playing cards at my moms house. The kids were supPOSED to be downstairs playing, but weren't. We get a little sassy when we play cards and tonight was no different.
My mom says as I lay down my hand, "you know, nobody likes you Karen"
J then reads the scores out..I've just taken the lead away from my mom...and my mom responds, "oh shut up"
Syd who was standing against the couch watching my hearing impaired (thank goodness) grandma knit, without missing a beat, turns and says, "you know, I get that from you"
Hilarious. We've always said...my kids will get their potty mouths from their grandparents :) ha ha
We say, mostly under our breath, but sometimes out loud if it's not dealing with the children and pain. "oooh, that's aunt karma." You know, anytime someone is a butt and then trips and falls right on his butt :) "why, that's aunt karma."
When the kids are acting out and then get hurt....my inside voice screams, "aunt karma kiddo" and then of course I hug and kiss and cuddle whoever got hurt without them knowing that I took a small amount of pleasure in the action-reaction.
Well today, Spencer had been bugging Sydney. She walks over and wacks him in the arm and says, "Now That's Aunt Karma !"
oh my hell I couldn't stop laughing. I told J that we needed to listen and learn from her.
Next time I'm just going to slap the next person who's bugging me and say, "that's aunt karma"
Give that woman a break any ways. She works A LOT OF HOURS !
