Potty Training Day One Report

Yep, it's that time! Potty training #5. Told dh he can do it, I did my 4. Haha.

He sat on the potty like the entire day, of his own free will, but nothing ever happened. Then he'd piddle a little in his pants. Not a full pee, just a tinkle.

Finally, near the end of the day, he went in the bathroom alone, shut the door, and peed on the potty.

Do you suppose he just wanted some privacy? LOL

He was wet this morning when he woke up, of course. He woke up saying NO MORE DIAPERS, which is why we're potty training him now. He refuses to wear diapers and is starting to refuse pullups, too. Which is all well and good, except he's not potty trained. He's peed in the potty already today (and told me he had to go) so I hope we've turned a corner! Of course, he hasn't pooped yet...so no telling what will happen with THAT.

I've never had them all out of diapers. It's scary and exciting!

I just want to be one of the cool kids...

So, yeah, I strongly suspect it wasn't me that Ginger tagged, because, well, anyone who reads my blog knows that I don't blog.

But, I'll answer anyway, just so I can feel cool and part of the in crowd and stuff since I've spent most of my life as the outcast, and now I think I see why.

DON'T JUDGE ME!

FAVORITE SNACK FOOD - Peanut M&Ms. Do those count? Too desserty? I like the sweet popcorns, Kettle Corn, Carmel Corn, there's a new butter and cinnamon one.. mmm. Sweet and Salty stuff! That's my final answer!

CATS OR DOGS & WHY - NOT an animal person AT ALL. 14 years of diapers has made me totally anti-things-that-poop-fart-eat-complain. I guess if I had to choose I'd take a dog since at least I could put it outside. But then it'd poop out there. DAMN I JUST DON'T KNOW.

COKE OR PEPSI - I rarely drink pop. I prefer Dr Pepper if I must. If I had to choose one of those two, I'd take pepsi. But really I just want my sweet tea. Is that too much to ask? These questions aren't letting me be me.

THREE PET PEEVES - (I asked my husband what my pet peeves were and he said "husbands... children... working". Asshole.) 1) Older kids on the playgrounds rough housing and making it dangerous for the little ones. Drives me NUTS. 2) Sock Balls. FFS people, undo your freakin socks. 3) Since Ginger had a scrapbooking one, I want one too. So I'll go with people saying *DROOL* when they see some new supply they want. Seriously. Who DROOLS? "YUMMY" is right up there, but not as annoying as DROOL.

THREE NEW THINGS THAT I'VE TRIED THIS YEAR - 1) The Waffle Bowl Sundaes at DQ. Good, but nothing to replace my peanut buster parfaits. Mmm sweet and salty. 2) Dieting. I suck at it. See #1. 3) Updating my blog. Suck at it. See #2. And #1.

I will tag: Any poor sucker who I manage to trick into reading this!

It's not about douches...

Ok, so I know that Manfred Mann isn't saying "wrapped up like a douche", even though it sure as hell sounds like it and I still sorta believe it might actually be true.

But, seriously. What the hell is this song about?

Take the following lyrics:


Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat


What???

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes

To be a pimp? What is a silicone sister?


And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride


This must have been after the acid drop. Or the song is being sung to a 6 month old. Hard to tell the difference.

Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"


Riiiiiight. Is that english?


Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"


Now she's a hooker with drugs.

That's it! Maybe it's about drugs. Or perhaps you need to be ON drugs to understand?
