A Naked Boy

So Garrett has almost gotten the potty training down.  I am so proud of him.  It took a week of mini candy canes for the # 2's (read between the lines) and we are doing great!  However, I cannot keep clothes or unnies, as he calls them, on him!  He stripes his clothes off anytime he has to go potty.  Hmmm, I wonder when that will change. 

We survived Flu week, only now Brian has it.  Poor guy, he's still going to work and school.  I am so glad I married an alpha male.

It's flu season

Sorry it's been a few days since I updated!  Garrett started out with the bug, then I got it, and now Alyssa.  Not fun at all but we are getting through it.  Garrett is following in his daddy's footsteps and prays for everything.  Sick or not LOL.  That is a blessing to me.  More later....

Happy New Year!

Got everyone off this morning.  Brian to work, kids to school.  Just Garrett and I at home today.  He's keeps asking for his sisters.  Had a busy weekend with New Years eve party, birthday party on Saturday and Church on Sunday.  Garrett is really getting the potty training, so when the pull-ups run out, that's it.  He usually wakes up dry, the only issue I see is riding in the car.  We'll see.  Cant believe he's catching on so fast! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Ready for a Routine

I have been out of school for nearly a month.  I am going stir crazy.  I really like having a routine in my life.  Brian starts school and his new job on Monday, and the girls go back to school that day too.  I can totally say I am ready.  I am working on posting pics on here.  I promise.

To top it all off!

If anyone knows me well, they know I have serious issues with cracks in couches.  Dont ask why, it's a long story.  Anyhoo, I pushed "publish post" to my previous post and the worst thing ever happened!!! I am potty training my 2 year old Garrett and he says "momma, potty on a toilet", I jump up, get all excited and start to rush him into the bathroom.  We didnt make it far, I realize the whole left side of his jammies are soaked.  He shot straight outside of the pull up, the thing wasnt even wet!  That's not the worst part, he soaked the back of the couch and all the way to the back of the couch THROUGH the cracks.  A big ol puddle of wet stuff under the back cushion.  I just about had a heart attack reaching to clean it up.  I am SO thankful I have leather couches, fabric ones would have been to much for me to handle.  I need a soak in a hot bath.

Oh, and this post is for Barb, my MIL.  I can just hear her laughing at me through the computer.  Love ya.

In a whirlwind of emotion

I cannot stand conflict.  I hate every minute of it.  Whether I am right, and I know it......or I am wrong.  I hate the knots I get in my stomach and I start going over each and every detail of what went wrong.  I dont like hurting people or seeing them hurt.  Maybe it was the way I grew up, in constant tension, never knowing what arguement would rear it's ugly head.  I guess I am a people pleaser at heart, which could be a good or bad thing.  I do not want another bout with bleeding ulcers and migraines.  I am so thankful I dont have to do anything on my own..........God will help me and my family every step of the way.

A shout out to Aunt Marcheeta!

We received an amazing package today that my babies were so excited about!  Thank you for all the very cool toys AND the child sized snuggie's.  Now if I can just find one for Brian and I, we all could match.  Although, I will probably have to force Brian to wear his LOL.....
