A Positive Day!

Hello Readers!

I am here ending my busy day with ice cream and DWTS. Sometimes its the little things in life that make it all worth it.

I feel bad for not writing. I guess that I was letting my general bad mood take over. You know how it is, job pressures (I am training for a management position yay!!!) and homelife can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed. And last week we added another thing, POTTY TRAINING!!!!!

Kara has been telling me every time she potties in her diaper so I thought that it was time to start the fun. So we went and got the big girl panties and she even got some in her Easter basket and we set to work.

 Day one:
We started the day with our big girl panties and high hopes. We were very consistent, going to the potty every 30 minutes to try. We had many accidents but we stayed patient.

Day two:
After going all day with panties and just staying focused we rose to the challenge again on the second day. Same rules, but I will admit that it was a little harder for me to stay 100% because we still hadn't had any success and I was tired of the messes. But we went through the day. I think that Kara was getting frustrated too because she was losing enthusiasm. By the end of the day we still had had no success.

I gave up. I know that I shouldn't have but Kara just didn't seem to be getting it yet. So for now we are just talking about it and using the potty a few times a day. I know that it will get easier once we start having successes because hen I can reinforce the good behavior.

On other news, I have started my own business! Yes, you read that right. I am now an official independent beauty consultant for Mary Kay. I never thought that I would say those words, but I needed to do something from home for a little extra cash. SO if you need some extra pampering or just want to shop for some fun colors I would be honored to be your consultant. I promise a no pressure approach to your needs.

Happy Spring!!!
I think that I needed a night like tonight, a night to reflect on the more positive things that have been happening in our life. Kara is growing up becoming a more beautiful and unique everyday. I am finally starting to move up in my employment. And Josh is doing very well in school. This has been a good Spring and I am so excited to see what the rest of the year will bring.

Thank you for reading my somewhat meandering post tonight. I will try to be more focused next time.
What are some things that you wold like to read about? Do you have any tips for potty training? If you like what you read I would love it if you share this with your friends!

Okay readers, you may have to hang in there with me tonight. I am not feeling to good I want to go bed but it's one of those things where I can't sleep. So I decided to take some time for myself to write and relax. I lit a candle, changed into my jammies and have slow music on Paandora. See, I am feeling better already! Yesterday was great day and Kara was being so good that I decided we would cook together! Now that is something we had not tried until yesterday so I was taking a big risk. I knew that we would most likely end up in disaster. I was pleasantly surprised though and we only had 2 incidents that involved tears. She doesn't really understand the whole taking turns thing yet. So by now you must be wondering what we made. I started out looking for ingredients for dinner but then I found a can of pumpkin. I turned it around and found that I had all I needed to make a pie! Pumpkin Pie is one of Josh's favorite foods. I don't really like it but because I...

A Busy Mom's Guide to Being Sick

Yuck! The famous stomach bug has landed at our house. Fortunately, it isn't the kind that makes you want to die, it just clings to you and makes you super tired and icky. Because of this I did not go to work today. I hate calling in! I always feel like my boss will never understand, this is silly because she is actually really good about being understanding.  So if I don't need to feel worried I begin to feel guilty. Guilty that I am taking the day to lay around and recoup. I have a million things to do and Kara needs my attention, I can't just lay in bed I tell myself. Yeah, you know you have done it too! In that case I normally get up and do too much and make myself sicker than I was originally. Thus, the cycle starts over! Today I decided I would be good to my body and try to rest. But I still had so much to do! So to ease my feelings I decided to find things that I could do from either my bed or couch, all the while keeping Kara entertained. I started out working ...
