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 ...

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...

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...
