I'm having one of those days. You know the ones where you feel like at any moment you could burst into tears? Not big hysterical tears. Just frustrated, overwhelmed, silent tears.
I'm pretty sure it's a culmination of things.
1. We're in the throes of potty-training. Accident after accident. Bribe after bribe. Laundry load after laundry load. I'm frustrated.
2. I was embarrassed of my child today for the first time since being a mom. We were at a little REC center class for Makenna and after throwing a tantrum on the toilet (she, not I), she cried the whole first part of the class, then proceeded to the back corner where she sucked on her fingers and bowed her head. I felt like all the other kids were doing what they were supposed to and mine was pouting in the corner for all to see. I was embarrassed.
3. I've got two BYU independent classes I HAVE to finish before March when Baby comes. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get into it, for there are always 100 other things I should/want to be doing. I'm overwhelmed.
4. I'm pregnant which means...I'm emotional.
So it's one of those days. But I'm feeling like things could be turning around.
My house is silent because Little Miss is sleeping. I just bought a big bag of candy corn at Target which I think I shall nibble on in the meantime. We're leaving on a fabulous trip down to Myrtle Beach on Friday and I get to pack for it (one of my favorite things to do). And tonight is Wednesday night, and neither Drew nor I have any obligations tonight, which means sitting home and watching my new favorite show, Glee. See? Things are turning around already.

Oh my little Bird-Mann! How I wish I were closer so I could take you out for some good eats mixed with bouts of belly laughing and make everything better. If you can just hold out another month or two- we can make that happen. Love you!
PS. LOVE Glee! It makes me, uh....gleeful.
PPS. Don't stress about the potty training. She'll get it when she's ready. Invest in some Pull-up's (for her) and choclolate ice cream (for you) and wait for her to catch on. Also, my girls really liked the movie "Once Upon A Potty". It seemed to help them make the connection. xoxo
You're taking BYU independent study classes? How did I not know this?
I love real posts like this. And I love YOU.
Everything will look better tonight when Drew gets home. Then even better from the beach.
You can do this. I know you can.
I definitely have those days. You are not alone, and I am glad to know that I am not either.
I think you're great.
Have so much fun at the beach!
