I know I know..

Its been way to long between posts.... sorry! Where to begin.

Bailey has now had 3 consecutive days with no "askidents". HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she gets so excited when I ask her if she is dry and she says YES!

My Dad called me early the day after his heart attack from the ICU and said he could go home and asked if I could come pick him up. So I picked him up and found out that he has now been diagnosed with Diabetes. We went over too the diabetes clinic so that we could get him a glucometer and teach him how to test his sugars. Both the girls were horrified when he poked his finger. Through the next couple of days I watched my Dad go through the grieving process. grieving that he no longer that the freedom to eat what ever he wants. Being mad that he let it get so out of hand.. and slowly slip into acceptance and that its what he needs to get his health in order and be a much happier person. I have so much respect and admiration for that man!

In other news I am working an unheard of 5 days this week to hopefully earn money for stupid stupid car repairs.

That is all for now

Heart Attacks and 5 hour fights

My Dad had a heart attack this morning and in the ICU until at least Wednesday.

I also spent the majority of the day on the phone with my ex fighting about stupid things and trying to meet a compromise that isn't going to happen.

Its been a really bad day!

Gimsies

Potty training and Bailey haven't meshed so well and I am starting to get to the point where I want to give up and resign my self to the fact that I will be changing diapers for ever. A couple days ago I was starting to feel hopefull.


I was teasing Bailey that morning that if she didn't get potty trained soon I was going to sell her to the Gypsies. Something that we joke around alot about. She laughed at me and said I was silly. We ended up going to Target and found some sparkly princess panties. I told her she could have them but we don't go potty on the princesses cause that would make them sad.

and you can't really see in the picture but all of the gold is sparkly and glittery. super duper princessey so you can't potty in those. She promised she wouldn't and was SOOOO excited. I asked her what should happen if she did potty in the panties and she said "you will sell me to the Gimsies" I laughed so hard and gave her a big hug and told her I wouldn't and couldn't ever sell her to anyone and that it was just a joke.

She did very well her first day but the days since have had some accidents. They are always later in the day and within a few feet of the bathroom (GRRRRRRRRR) So I don't know what to do .. I am stuck. ... PLEASE HELP! I need any suggestions you've got
