Yes, I know I have been aloof lately. Well, if I was treading water teaching the USU Stat 1040 Wednesday night class on top of 20 hours a week for the Center for Epidemiological Studies AND being a full-time-stay-at-home mommy to an teething infant & a potty-training pre-schooler, now I'm drowning with teaching ANOTHER USU class (stat 1040 broadcast/distance ed Tues & Thursday mornings) on top of all that. (To put it in perspective three class alone is considered full time, so I'm over full-time now.) I started writing a post about HOW I ended up in this situation, but it never got finished. Keeping that in mind, I haven't downloaded any pictures from my camera for a while. Although I don't have a lot of time, I did want to post a few updates.
1. Potty Training: 2 steps forward, 1 step back
After a week of no accidents, Allie figured out how to do #2 in the potty, but became inconsistent with #1. Now she is treating her sleeping panties (i.e. pull-ups) like a diaper - only going for fun. I'm battling the age old question of should I let her learn on her own (& clean up accidents)? I don't want to give her a complex about it, so I just took all the panties & pull-ups way. Back to diapers. We'll re-evaluate in a week.
2. My husband wins the award today!
I left bright and early this morning (leaving my family all in bed) to run a few errand in town, before running my campus errand, before teaching my class. I left Nate a list of 'chores' to do, but didn't expect much. WOW was I wrong. He did everything on my list by my return at noon! Swept AND MOPPED the kitchen, did dishes, moved/folded/put away 2 loads of laundry, took out all the garbages & made all the beds. This while tending to the girls (clothes, food, naps, ect). EVEN MORE he installed the new kitchen sink facet that I bought a year ago & didn't even mention. WOW oh WOW! Let me tell you, I was blown away!!!!!!
3. MORE praise for my husband!!!
Last night Nate painted our downstairs bathroom & another bedroom. Pictures to come...soon?
