chrisy01,are you off all next week? Are you going anywhere? I hope you can relax some. Your job sounds extremely stressful/frustrating. I'm going out to MN/IA. My parents sold their farm so I'm taking Lo back there to ride the tractor and for me to visit my friends brewery she opened on December.

Ok, Bitch needs to be fired at this point. I don't care what she has going on her life, this is not ok. She has CFRA which means she can call out without punishment for 240 hours. I would guess she's close to hitting that limit.

Smoky the secretary takes 2 hour lunches, comes and goes as she pleases and on her time sheet (we do monthlies) she just puts a straight line down all the dates and writes "8 hours"...which is B.S! Since no one calls her on it (office manager) she continues to do it and continues to get away with it.

Morning. I've got... nothing today. Except I successfully ended a tantrum before it got too bad this morning, by distracting him with picking violets for his teacher. I may not feel so successful for the rest of the day, LOL.
Chase seems over the walking thing. He was doing so well last week and now every time I have him standing a few feet in front of me and I encourage him to come to me, he slowly bends down to crawl over. Super intentional and it's driving me nuts, since I know he's capable. But he's also walking oddly when he's pushing a cart around the house - one foot is pointing way out and he's almost on his toes on the other foot. I'm going to bring it up with the doctor at his 15 month visit, since I'm a bit concerned he's legitimately uncomfortable when walking. Or I'm just being paranoid and crazy.

The sitter thinks M is ready to potty train. So I'm thinking we're going to dive in this weekend and see what happens. I also am at the end of my rope with J nursing and am going to wean. Dear lord help us.

Also DH wants to try night training Colin over vacation. Our friend suggested getting large dog pee pads and layering pee pad, sheet, pee pad, sheet on the mattress for quick MOTN changes. It won't be a huge deal for us since he'll have his own space, it's just the thought of how sad he'll get each time he has an accident... It makes me sad, too. But another part of me knows he can do it, and maybe he just needs the encouragement. Sigh... Being a parent is emotionally exhausting.

joelies , is he wearing shoes when doing that or is he barefoot? Hmmm good question. I've noticed it when he's barefoot. I'm not actually sure about when he's wearing shoes since we don't wear them in the house, so I'll have to have him push around one of the cars in the driveway to check that out.

joelies let me know how it goes. We're finally at the point that I think C is completely PT and it took us forever to get there. MH is already like "ok let's night train!" Ummmm. Can't I just take a little break from cleaning up pee?

Do we need to be night training? I was kind of thinking it would happen on its own? I've tried letting B sleep in underwear just two times and both times did not go well. She wakes up dry about 3-5x a week.

She wakes up dry about 3-5x a week. That was my original plan, TBH. And he'll go dry here and there, sometimes even a couple nights in a row, but then he's back to soaking a pull-up the next night. So maybe it's worth trying it for a few nights to see if something clicks? I dunno, PT has sucked.

She wakes up dry about 3-5x a week. No need to night train. I like the lazy approach of just waiting until they wake up dry then have them quit wearing Pull-Ups. If night training doesn't magically start happening on it's own reduce liquid intake at night and go from there. And plastic mattress protectors are a must always.

mamabear, I'm reading little updates and tidbits about the testimony, but yes, seems to be things we've already heard. I'm trying to not get myself too hyped up for anything. I think the Trump Jenga tower will inevitably crumble, but clearly not at the pace I would like (because it would have happened before the orange prick even got into office). So I'm just kind of waiting until they actually do something to that asshole. We already know he's done a lot of inappropriate things but when will Congress care?

Yesterday I left work 2 hours early and it was a life-changing experience. The kids were fed and they and the dog had already played out energy at the park but the time we got to Tae Kwon Do at 5:45. Instead of trying to cram everything into 1.5 hours there was so much free time in the evening it was a joy. And we solved the code to the Graeme Base book we've been reading (Enigma) so it felt like we accomplished a lot.

I have to put ointment on all the chickens butts.. Don't tell them. They molted a while ago and lost a lot of feathers, which is normal. But because chickens are ass holes and are attracted to red, they started pecking each other on the butt and now they all have super red butts with little poke marks. You put a blue salve on it so the chickens stop pecking and it can heal and new feathers can grow in. They're all going to fucking hate me.
