Wassup?

Hola. It's Friday yay.

I was cleaning my bathroom (including cleaning out the drains) and the kids were playing downstairs. Well they are now covered in dry erase marker 😆. Ahh well at least my bathroom is clean.


S has 100% regressed with potty training. Like is even hiding the fact that she has a poopy diaper so that is fun, she also doesn't care about rewards sooo trying to let it go and not be frustrated by it. She will potty train when she wants to, I am mostly just sad she is not going to do preschool unless something changes in 2 weeks.

Meeting today went well. I had to come home right after cause my sitter was sick, but I got home right at naptime and so got to chill on the couch and watch a show. My brain needed to shut off time.

aggiebug Sorry to hear about the potty issues. Maybe she is testing and will be back to it in a bit?

aggiebug I feel ya on the PT. I'm sorry she regressed ☹
kartish sounds a little hectic. Glad you had rest time.

I went shopping today and then zoo summer nights. DH came home this evening from AZ and was able to Uber to the zoo so that was nice! The girls really missed him and me too 😀

ETA: N's class list was posted today and she got in a class with her best friend from totschool so she was very happy!

My ILs are visiting this weekend. MIL came with me and the girls to music class this morning and then we all went to the mall where E had a huge tantrum because DH bought her a bagel and she had to share it with J. E is always asking to go the mall for some reason but she is an absolute terror whenever we are there, she becomes instantly cranky as soon as we walk in and we always end up leaving because she's having a meltdown. I think we probably won't go back until it's time to see Santa.

aggiebug I'm sorry she's regressing. Has she had anything that might be making using the toilet painful? It's hard when they just won't go.

I'm upping my job hunt to be external now. I'm clashing with my boss and I'm mot getting a good review this year. I'm doing the work of 2 people right now, but he thinks I should be able to do it all and getting help from other people is a failure on my part. The internal is going poorly as there's only a handful of things I'd like to do with my company where we are and those things don't have openings.

kartish yay for hitting quiet time

dreemkin aww yay for h being home.😊 And a fun trip to the zoo

seamonster I am really sorry work has been frustrating



As for S I am pretty certain there is no pain. I think it might be a few things 1) she is just stubborn 2) anxiety for preschool. She has been super excited and I know she will LOVE it but she knows she has to be potty trained to go. I've talked to her about it and reassured her that if she doesn't like it we will stop even if she is potty trained but we shall see.

aggiebug I could have written that about S bc I think that is exactly it with A. I am trying to not have not going to preschool seem like a punishment. It's just a fact that she won't be able to go if she doesn't step it up. I think A is also hesitant to be a "big girl" and/or thinks she isn't old enough to potty train.

We went to an awesome place yesterday. It was one of those historical recreated towns. It had so many fun things to do and look at. The girls had a blast and so did we. I think they would get even more out of it once they start learning about those things in school. Some of it was lost on A. It was also a happy accident that it was civil war weekend so it was extra neat. The Lincolns were there. We saw President Lincoln pardon a turkey at the barn haha. There was a train too. And we went on the girls' first ride on a paddle boat!

[aggiebug]

dreemkin it's so hard too. I am sitting here focused on it because 1) it's my money and I need to figure out if we are cancelling or not and 2) I know she will love it and I will love the respite. Trying not to pass on the constant concern is hard but I have talked to her about it and now it's a non subject. Also getting my husband to stop talking about using the potty is frustrating. Just stop she won't do it and it's making it worse, of course he doesn't deal with all week so he hasn't seen her refusal like I have. They won't go to school in diapers! I keep telling myself that at least 😆



And your tour of the town sound like fun! I love those historic towns.

Aggie yup we waste money (the deposit- first month) if she doesn't go and I'd be sad for her to miss the first year. Ours is like a two year program kind of. I don't know whether to ignore or try to encourage/make her go. At least yours did get the hang of it in the past. FX for our kiddos! Hope they can both go!

[aggiebug]

Kids have the crud today so we skipped church. Had kind of a lazy day instead. My mil was coming in Tuesday morning but instead will be arriving tomorrow night. It's good for me because I won't have to pick her up but I won't have tomorrow evening to finish cleaning up
