I give up!

Well, i finished watching "The Mist" and went to check on the baby to see if I could get her to sit on the potty for a few minutes. She was soaked. I gave in and put a diaper on her. She isn't ready yet, so we will try again in a month or so and see what happens. *sigh* At least I tried, right?

Regarding The Mist...UGH! the beginning and end sucked ass! The end was NOTHING Compared to the book, and it was just tragic how they ended it. Plus, they gave no sort of explanation, but then the book was like that too. This is definitely a one time only movie. Back in the mail it goes tomorrow, to await the arrival of "The Golden Compass", 1st in a series of three, written by Bill Pullman. I got the whole set for Xmas, and I devoured it. It's an awesome book. Though i have heard the movie is not as good as the book. But I still want to see it...

So Goodnight!

edited to add: Aili wanted to go pee first thing this morning when she woke up, and did! and she stayed dry (in a diaper) the entire time we were out this afternoon. And then as soon as we were home, she insisted on going pee in the potty, and did!! Perhaps I was premature in quiting? we shall see...i'm letting her take the lead now.

Have you seen my map?

It is on the right side, if you scroll down a bit. I think it's such a neat thing to have on your blog. Now I know I get readers...not many, but at least my words are reaching someone, right?

I love to look and see where people are coming from. Today I had one from Jaipur, INDIA!!! and I also had one from the UAE...United Arab Emirates. How cool is that?
Please feel free to post comments people, I like getting them ;o)

Potty training went well today! She is doing much better than I thought, and only had ONE accident today. Plus, she woke up dry from her nap!! Is anyone doing the happy dance with me? One thing I am concerned about is that she doesn't tell me when she is done, or when she has to go. She hasn't pooped in the potty yet either. I know we're only on the 2nd day, but I just hope it doesn't turn into a big problem. She did wake up soaked this morning...I am not quite sure how we are going to fix the peeing at night thing. I KNOW she doesn't like to be dirty or wet, and is really starting to hate it. And she loves to say "bye pee" as we flush it down the toilet. lol I guess I just have to keep repeating to myself that "we've only just begun" lol! It will get better, and we've had such great progress from yesterday.

Today I finally got some stuff moved into the shed. I need to go through the rest of the boxes tomorrow and figure out what can go in there before hubby gets home. I hate clutter, as does he, so it will be nice to have it taken care of. I also have to figure out a way to get the van completely spotless. Yep, it's a disaster zone. I swore I wouldn't let it happen, but I did. *sigh* Tomorrow is thursday and he is home on wednesday...I need to get my ass in gear! I have so much to do and such little time to do it.

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye

Well, yesterday marked the last chapter in our home-owning adventure. The title recorded and the house is no longer ours. I'm ok actually. I feel more at home in this house now, and it is such a relief not to have to pay the mortgage anymore ;o)

Next in our lives comes saving for another downpayment. We hope to buy in another 3 or 5 years.

And tying in with the post again, today we said goodbye to diapers. I am potty training our youngest, who is just aout 26months old. Wish me luck! I go straight to cotton pants and diaper covers, so that means no pull ups either. I'm a little nervous, but hopefully it will turn out ok.
