Thx. We've already had one crying fit (him) I wish I could pay someone all my money to do this for us. This is the pits!! I'm sorry. I'm sure that's really frustrating. Although we were successful quickly, Josie showed absolutely no interest in potty training until the weekend we started. I think the only reason it worked out for us was because she was ready. Every attempt before that was a disaster, and lasted at most 20 minutes. We started in august, he was pt in late December. He just didn't give a damn about wetting his pants before that (he's like clockwork when it comes to pooping, so almost no accidents there). When he was ready, it clicked. Good luck!

He just peed in his underwear about 5 minutes after sitting on the potty and was really upset. I ran him to the bathroom but he had stopped by then.
It took a while for him to calm down. But now he's fine. I really think he was ready like 6 months ago but I was in the middle of MH being away for so long and having a newborn so I didn't do anything. I sort of fear I waited too long so we've been talking about it forever and it put too much pressure on him
Sorry #liveblogging

And, I'll admit, I've also put him ifo the tv until he peed, just to let him see.

Hi! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. wedding I'm glad to hear the progress your making in your journey since surgery. Your doing so great! jewels I feel your pain regarding potty training. We have been putting it off. I think I gave up to easily the times we have tried. We need to take a stab at it again. I've had a busy day at work. Then I drove home in a horrible storm, had to pull over because it started hailing. When I got home there was a tree across the driveway so I had to park out by the highway and run in the pouring rain to the house (about 1/4 mile). Luckily MH got home from work shortly after and got the tree cut out so the babysitter could leave.

Used a weed eater for the first time today. My body is still shaking. I was not built for that thing.
So much sweat and I'm not sure I made much of a difference. An acre and a half is no joke.
My dad didn't have cable. Mh has spent the day watching PBS barbecue shows....

jewels don't worry so much about it. The fact that it upset him is good. C was not upset at all and I think it made it harder. It takes time and it's ok that he's not trained yet. The worst thing I did was put too much pressure on myself.

My friend came to visit with her 10 & 12 yr olds. C had so much fun. They also brought their dog and C had a blast playing with him and walking him.
Unfortunately I've been nauseated most of the day and Max's vet appointment didn't go to well. He's lost 1.5lbs since January, which is a lot for a cat. We did bloodwork so I am hopeful he just needs a med to be adjusted but if his bloodwork is clear they are suspicious of lymphoma. I'm trying to hold it together until we have the bloodwork back but I just want to snuggle him and cry.

Thx for all the support today. He peed on the potty 3 x today. So better than I was expecting. We started underwear after his poop (he usually goes mid morning). So that's my fear for tomorrow. But I feel slightly better now than I did this morning. wedding like you said, I'm my own worst enemy with all the pressure I feel like I'm putting on myself. I need to chill a bit.

Yay!! Temecula was fun but my work conference kicked my ass. I have slept so much in the last 24 hours. Schmoozing and being "on" 16 hours a day in an unfamiliar environment is torture on this introvert.

We are on the way home from the party. For some reason it ended abruptly and I don't really know why. My aunt was very surprised.
