It only takes 2 weeks to break a habit...

WARNING: The contents of this post contain poop, reader discretion advised.


So I am sitting in my office and in walks Micah with an “I didn’t mean to do it” look on his face; shoulders looking defeated and remorseful... remember we are "office schooling" him for a few more weeks. Without me even prompting him to tell me what happened he skittishly says “sorry mom, I mean I am really sorry.” So I asked what happened and he sadly replies “I think I maybe used a little bit too much toilet paper” oh.boy. So I ran over to the bathroom and sure enough the water is filled to the point of overflowing and there is a little Lincoln Log just making a circle around the bowl while half the toilet paper roll is stuck in the flushing hole part (technical term). Ughhhhhh we have no plunger, so what do I do, flush it again! Stupid, stupid…stupid idea. So then I decide to shut the door as if it was a magic trick thinking it would all disappear when I opened it again. I turn around and get down to Micah’s level, which by the way he does this ALL the time, and I say “how long is it going to take you to learn your lesson about using too much toilet paper?”

He replies “maybe just two more weeks mom.”

Whewwww (sigh of relief) thank GAWD I will only have to deal with overflowing toilets from my son for two more weeks…according to the 4 year old himself, don't worry son I won't hold my breath!

Don’t they say it only takes 2 weeks to break a habit?


On a cleaner note, we are headed to San Diego this weekend to get out of this heat! Really ONE-O-FREAKING-SIX today, is this really necessary? We are headed to see Shamu (hopefully not eat anybody) and spend some time on the beach!!

Giving Thanks...Kapri's Surgery and Recovery.

You know that sinking, useless, hopeless feeling you get when one of your children are sick or hurt? Those feelings were almost more than I could take when I went to take Kapri in for her 15 month check up on Tuesday morning and ended up in surgery Tuesday night... A little over two weeks ago Kapri began to limp on her right leg and after noticing I kept an eye on it and it would differ day to day.  Sometimes it wasn't even noticeable as she would run back and forth from her brother or just in her play.  Other times is was so noticeable I found myself holding her more than I ever had (after she learned how to walk).  I decided that it was time to call the Dr. and see what his thoughts were.  So Friday (18th) we got her in. The typical questions like, did she fall, was she pushed at school, does she have a temp, etc.  Since NONE of these symptoms seemed to be the case he wanted me to just keep her on Motrin and since she had her 15 month check up on Tuesday (...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...

What a day...

Just had to share my day from yesterday... Morning was great, minus the IPhone alarm clock that is named "Wake Up, Really Wake up and get your running shoes on"... really I named it that thinking that it would give me motivation. Seeing on how I run in the afternoon every day, I don't think it works, but I'll keep trying. every day. every morning. Sigh. Work was short as I had 2 hitting lessons scheduled so I had to get home to get set up... then it started. I saw at the office that the clouds were building in the general direction of my house, so I thought maybe there would be a chance that the lesson's would have to be canceled (I don't usually wish for this but I really wanted to spend the evening with the kids). The lighting and thunder was ridiculous! So I started to make my way and saw this... Then it occurred to me "oh $#!T" I left the equipment out, so I put the medal to the pedal and raced home. (Don't worry Mom, I didn't break ...
