Sick Day

Yesterday I woke up not feeling so hot.
I went right back to bed as John settled
Norah into the living room with a show &
some snacks.

I knew I had to get up & try to get our day
going, but I just didn't have it in me.

I finally got us all up, ready & fed and we 
headed out to the library.  My main goal
at this point was just to burn through some
time so that we could drop off Ava at school
& get home to take a nap.  (Generally I don't 
believe in naps for myself)

When Norah got up and wandered off from
where Ava & I were reading books I felt 
like I was going to cry at the thought of 
chasing her down.  

We eventually got Ava to school & Norah
down & that was it.  I laid on the couch the 
rest of the day, feeling not up for anything.

Both the kids were so sweet, each laying on 
me snuggling, Ava petting my head, saying 
"Mommy you never get sick" and 
Norah crawling across my weak stomach.

Thankfully John took over the kids completely
and sent me to bed.  I think I was asleep by 
8:30 and woke up feeling so much better today.

Today we are going to The Ladybug Theater on
a field trip for Ava's class.  Should be fun. 

I'm not 100% yet but so much better that I can't 
complain. Seriously, who has time for sick days?

Not me.

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me...
