I know I'm supposed to be thinking positive

but I have had a pounding headache for 2 days with no relief from ibuprofen! I started potty training Halloran today, went well the first half of the day, and the last half had two accidents. One outside and one playing in her room. Also, Brady felt left out, so he has peed in his pants twice today (maybe 3 times....can't remember) and twice last night. Hmmm....

Also, I'm still having a hard time with Halloran's moods. She is sad/mad/frustrated during the day more than she is happy. It actually makes me sad! She's two! She should be happy and care free! But instead, she's like a grumpy old woman who hates life with brief moments of happiness.

I pray for her, try to love her as much as a human being can, and try to be more sensitive with her. Nothing. No improvements. It's very hard to watch her act this way.

So, that was my day! With a brief intermission to help my sister do some unpacking at her knew home. Wow...looks like rain outside!

Potty training is tough, isn't it! We've just started trying too--tried for 2 days, and now Olivia has lost ALL interest and refuses. So frustrating! I hope Halle has a happier day tomorrow!
Girls...not that I am an expert...but if I know one thing about potty training...it is that when THEY are ready it is soooo much easier. Don't let anything pressure you. And if you just don't plain ol feel like doing it...then DON'T!
But if you're in it to win it...then go for it full force and don't look back! A couple of weeks may seem like an eternity, but when all is said and done you'll feel great for sticking with it!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my coffee

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a
