Yay

So, Em peed on the potty all day at school and at home for me. He has not pooped though. I don’t just mean on the potty either. I mean in general. I really hope he isn’t holding it. I tried many times to get him to go last night without success. I’m hoping he goes this morning. I left him in a diaper for that reason. I know it’s a lot more difficult to potty train #2 than #1. I just don’t want him to become constipated from holding it. Poor guy. It has to be so tough growing and trying to learn all of this stuff. I’m trying to be patient. He is doing so well. He didn’t pee for me again this morning, but his diaper was pretty soiled, so I’m chalking that up to him not having to go. Last night, he ran towards the bath and said “I pee! I pee” and then he went pee. It’s cool seeing him take initiative and letting me know when he has to go instead of me constantly asking him. We’ll see how this all progresses, but I’m pretty proud of him. He needs more underwear badly though. I can’t keep washing laundry every two days. That’s absurd.

I hate to say this, but I feel like I’m getting a sinus infection. It’s making my tooth bother me too, which is weird. Anytime I get a sinus infection, any of the teeth that I had filled start to bother me. I initially thought maybe it was one of my back teeth that was filled, but now might need additional work. My head is starting to feel stuffy though and I can feel my sinuses acting up. I haven’t had sinus issues in such a long time. It has to be from the weather change. In any event, I’m going to wait a couple of days  before I jump the gun and make a dentist appointment. I need to go for a cleaning anyway, so I’ll be going sooner rather than later.  My sister made dentist appointments for the kids on October 4th, so I’m going to take them. This will be Em’s first visit. I was hoping to make an appointment for myself sometime after that. I guess we will see  how this all pans out. I still need to make an ophthalmologist appointment for Em. We’re off next Tuesday, so maybe I can find something for that day. So many appointments. Ugh.

This weekend, we’re doing a 5k with the kids. It’s a bubble run, so it should be a lot of fun. We’ll be bringing the stroller just in case Emerson gets too wacky. We’ll see how it goes. Our wave is at 8am. So it’ll be super early in the morning, which is good because he typically starts acting up around nap time. Afterwards, I believe we’re going to the waterpark. We haven’t been in a couple of weeks. It’s closing right after labor day, so we need to make a few more trips. It’ll be nice to go again since we’ve taken some time off. It’ll be like going for the first time…I hope!

Today is my 23rd day eating clean and working out. I feel good. Looking forward to leaning out more. My upper body is sore after last night’s workout. It was a good one. Tonight, I’m focusing on lower. I had to move the DVD player into the livingroom since I downgraded our cable. Unfortunately, Disney doesn’t play Disney Jr cartoons until 6am, which sucks. Em had to watch the older kid shows this morning. Ugh. I’m going to rent dvds of the shows that he watches through the library. Of course, I lost my card, so I have to work on replacing it first before I can rent anything. I did search the catalog though and they have dvds of pretty much all of Em’s shows. I have to take in my id and something with my address on it to get a replacement. I plan on doing that at lunch today. The only issue I think I’ll have is my address. Currently, my parent’s address is on my id. I can’t remember if I signed up using that address, or my current address. I had to bring in a piece of mail with my address on it, so I don’t know what I provided. I guess I’ll try to go down there with my ID and w-2 and see if that is sufficient enough. Hopefully it isn’t an issue. He can watch a movie tonight and then I’ll work on renting some stuff for the rest of the week and weekend. I’m not worried about myself. I’ll find something mindless to watch and I’ll rent a movie for the weekend.  I’m just happy that I can rent whole seasons of the shows he likes with no issue. He won’t notice at all, which is nice. I may end up just downgrading all the way to basic cable if this goes well. I’ll let this go for a month before I decide what to do. If I keep it, it’ll be for my own selfish reasons. My point though was that I need a second DVD player because unhooking and hooking this one back up between the basement and living room is going to suck. It only took me a second last night, but even still, it’s an extra step I don’t feel like taking!

Alright, have a super day
