Wow, what a weekend. It has been so cold that I wish I could tie blankets around me & still be able to walk around. I was hoping to spend a lot of time lying around reading because I never get to do that, but other things kept coming up. I did start a new book that I am really enjoying so far, "Why I Stayed" by Gayle Haggard. My best friend told me about it & it is a good story. This woman has a lot more courage than I think I would have had in her situation. I can't imagine having my world turned upside down like that & still try to follow God's principles. I know that I would strive to, but I would have a harder time with my emotions -especially anger! Anyways - it is a good read & I recommend it to every woman of God.
Well we started potty training my 2-year old. That is mainly why I couldn't lay around all weekend. He only has ten pair of underwear & I had to keep the laundry rotating for "fresh briches"....hehe. On top of that, my husband had to go to Walmart to buy a quick wet mop so we could mop up after every accident. Hard wood floors are easier to clean up spills than on carpet, but I was not willing to get the mop bucket out every 15 minutes. I also have to make sure to get the smell out so our precious dogs would not try to out do our 2-year old, if you know what I mean. One of the dogs is 100 pounds & can probably fill a bath tub!!!
We found out last week about the sex of our new baby. It is definiely a boy.....he was so proud of his stuff already that the nurse was able to get 3 or 4 pictures of his "junk". So I guess I will remain the only girl/woman in my house. My husband knew how disappointed I was & later that night let me know that he is willing to try again later if I want. I thought - "Are you crazy!" What if I end up with 5 boys! No Way Jose! 4 is enough to last me a lifetime & I believe it will.... Well, yes, I was very upset & had to allow my emotions some time to spill (& spill they did). I cried like a heart-broken toddler for many hours....but now I'm better. The way I look at it now is that our world needs good men for the next generations to come & apparently, God trusts me to raise such men. It is a high calling that some can't handle, but I will do my best to try.
Well I must run now....to the bathroom every 15 min, if not for my training toddler but for my pregnant self....try to post again soon...
You are too funny! So how is the potty training going now?
