New Years Resolutions



Every year I make the same resolutions and every year, they last about a day. This year, I thought about not make any, but then I decided to make a few, make them do-able and try to stick with them. Here's what I decided:

1. To at least start Claire's baby scrapbook before I go back to work
2. Get back into a more balanced eating routine and make meal plans on a weekly basis
3. Try running again. I tried it once before and couldn't get the breathing down
4. Make a conscious effort to keep on top of the house cleaning, so that Blair's not doing it when he gets home from work

Potty Training

For the last 6 months or so, we have been trying to potty train our 2 1/2 year old son. Granted, we haven't done the "bootcamp" or been as vigilant as we could have and maybe should have been, but we also didn't want to force him and then have him go backwards and have to start all over again. Everyone has told us that he will eventually be trained and let him be.

Well, this whole letting him be thing is getting to me. Since Christmas, he hasn't had any interest in going to the potty, not even peeing in the potty. I have to say, that i am really, really, really tired of changing his dirty diapers. He used to tell us when he was going or had gone, but not now. I'm trying not to get upset with him and make him feel bad, but I'm really sick and tired of needing to make sure that I have not only diapers for my 9 month old daughter, but my 2 1/2 year old.

That is my vent for the day.
