Potty Drama

My 4 and 1/2 year old, who has been potty trained for, oh...2 and 1/2 years...has had 3 accidents in the last 2 days. Not major accidents, but enough to be wet. I swear she just doesn't seem to have the time for potty breaks. You know, when you are 4, your priorities are dolls, dressing up and what is for snack...not remembering to use the dang toilet. The worst part of the whole thing is now she has decided she just won't wear panties..."Then they won't get wet, mommy." ARE YOU SERIOUS??? (I suppose the reasoning behind it isn't all that bad) But, NO WAY!! I guess I will go back to the old days when I made her try to go every hour, no excuses. I just don't know what is going on with her. I thought maybe she had a UTI/Bladder infection but she says it doesn't hurt when she goes and also says its not itchy...i even had a little look at tubby time, all looks normal to me.

SOOO-
Is this for attention?
Is she just forgetting to go?
Is she waiting too long before she goes?
Do I call the doctor?

It's just a little frustrating for this to start up after years of being potty trained. I feel bad for her because I don't want it to happen at preschool, she would be humiliated. I will definitely talk to her teacher in the morning, and then I will worry for the 4 hours she is there...

Not Me Monday

I have been intrigued by MckMama over at

And so I am going to do my first, "Not Me Monday" post. If you want to learn more about "Not me Monday" or want to join in on the fun, CHECK IT OUT on the button below!




Here it goes...

* I DID NOT pretend I was still asleep this morning when Hannah came into our bedroom and then ignore her the first 2 times she asked to climb into our bed. I wouldn't have done that!

* I DID NOT eat 4 brownies yesterday after Hannah and I made them. And I definalty DID NOT tell her she couldn't lick the batter on the spoon, only to lick it myself the minute she left the room... nope NOT ME!!!

* I DID NOT actually get excited last night when I saw that the new season of "The Bachelor" starts tonight at 8:00! This show never works out in the end and I WOULD NEVER waste my time watching every single episode of every single season!

AND FINALLY...
*I DID NOT put off doing laundry last night so that I could play Mario Kart with Lee after the kids were asleep...that would be childish!

Lounging in our Jammies.

Today is a lazy day around our house. After a busy/sick few weeks, we are using today as a prep day for getting back into our normal routine tomorrow. Lee goes back to work, Hannah back to preschool and as for me...I need to get this house clean, organized and not looking like a tornado of toys just swept through.

It is amazing to me how much "stuff" 2 children under the age of 5 can accumulate. And its not just toys...we have about 12 pillows just hanging around, princesses, barbie,cars, hannah montana, dogs, bears, elmo-ALL in pillow form! I mean, really, do we need to have enough pillows in the house to supply the entire neighborhood?? Ok enough about pillows, lol!

So anyways, we have no big plans today...the boys are watching football with my brother Mark, Hannah is playing with her dolls and I am just enjoying the calmness of it all!

Camden is on the mend....finally!

This is how Cam has spent the last 6 days...

HAVING A MELTDOWN....


OR SLEEPING.


He's been so sick, fever, coughing, runny nose...miserable. But I think we have finally turned a corner, he slept through the night and woke up HAPPY. He even ate some breakfast. Hopefully we can leave the house today for at least a little bit, I feel like I haven't seen the real world in days!

The gift that keeps on giving!

I got my Keurig coffee maker for Christmas from my mom and stepdad. LOVE IT!

The only issue I am havng is I am now drinking 3-4 cups of coffee a day, instead of my usual 1 that I used to go out and get every morning after dropping Miss Hannah at preschool. I am basically on a permanent caffine buzz! It has been helpful with the long nights awake with Cam being sick, but I think I need to restrain myself to 2 cups a day. I tried decaf...eeewww!

But besides my own coffee addiction, I highly reccommend this thing!

Lunchtime Madness

Camden has been sick for 6 days, up all night coughing and a nose running like a faucet. Needless to say we are all exhausted from lack of sleep. So today we decided the kids would eat an early lunch and EVERYONE would have a nap.
Lee made soup and we sat the kids down. Hannah had to have her YELLOW bowl, its the only bowl she will eat soup from, no idea why. She also had to have an ice cube in it...and a straw. (Apparently you cannot eat soup any other way when you are 4.) Camden is usually prety easy at mealtime, not today! Lee gave hin his dish and he threw it back at him, landing a bowl of soup all over the floor, high chair and both boys. Well, we cleaned up the mess and I gave Camden a little "lecture" on throwing our food, like he cares! Hannah also added in, "Well if you would just behave Cam..." Oh brother!
...Not 5 minutes later I turn to see Hannah with her bowl on her lap....Clean up #2!

So now while the kids and Lee lay down for a nap, I will mop the dining room floor, clean the high chair and throw the clothes with soup all over them in the laundry. I should be finished just in time for Hannah to wake up saying she hungry b/c she didn't eat her soup...
