The Joys of Potty Training. . .

Anyone want to come over and potty train my kids?

Mister did pee pee potty 2 times today. I put him in big boy pants thinking I was going to be home for 4 days, What the Heck, lets give it a try. WRONG! He pee'd his pants 2 times in less than a half hour. LOL I should listen to my "know better" voice. DUH! We are just going to stick to the morning pee pee pottys and go from there.

Missy is thinking about it. She's gone pee pee and poo poo on the potty, LOTS OF TIMES! But still no real interest. Right now all she really cares about is eating Zurg's cape.

Two Doctor's Diagnosis'

Is there a plural for diagnosis?

We got two, one from a Developmental Pediatrician and one from a Pediatric Psychologist.

"High Functioning" Autism

Now that Mister has a diagnosis, I have to reapply to the State for Long Term Care. We've already been turned down twice under the Cerebral Palsy diagnosis. SOOO, hopefully this will fly. He's done SO well with diet and preschool. I'd love to get him more therapy.

It's crazy how many things go thru my head in one day. Vaccines, food, what food, not that food. Cholesterol, liver, ADHD, Autism, school programs, what are they going to do for the summer? Dog, cats, did someone feed them? Nana's house, grocery store, crap I have got to get to work. OMG who put all this stuff on my desk! Oh Yoh!

Just in case anyone has forgotten: Girl's Happy Hour, Thursday, June 5th , 4:00 p.m. at Cadillac Ranch! I intend to go see Sex in the City after Happy Hour if anyone is interested.

If you are wondering how I go from crazy busy in my head to happy hour????? Hellloooo, it is a natural progression. (In my head at least) ;o)

So many in need! What are you bitchin' about?

I don't know if these things go in cycles or what, but it seems we have a lot of hardship going on around us. My cousin, Jerry, is fighting his battles; my Aunt Honey is fighting hers; my niece's godson, Hayden, (very sad story) is dying right before his Mama's eyes.

What the heck do I have to whine about? NOTHING!

My biggest whine, I just don't know what I could do to help all these people. I'm not stupid, I should be able to come up with "something" I could do to help.

My first born, Jeff, I'm so happy he's who he is. I complain and whine about the trials we go thru, but really in the end, I'm happy he's who he is. About 2 months ago, Jeff came home from school and said a friend of his, Joanne, is a foster kid and she needs a place to live because her foster mom isn't nice to her. I didn't think anything of it, except that Jeff was feeling her need to make a change. About 1 week after that, I got a phone call from a psychotic mother, yelling at me that her daughter thinks I don't like her. "Huh, who are you? Who is your daughter?" I asked. Turns out, Jeff told Joanne that he would talk to his mom and that it would probably be ok for her to move in with us. OK, we had a small conversation about how helping people is SPECTACULAR, however you have to start with baby steps. ;o) I just love his heart.

I'm out! Love you all! Gin
