Two for Tuesday: Potty Training Edition

Tomorrow marks one week in underwear (pull ups at night).  All in all I think he is doing really well, but we have managed to have accidents in two public places.

1.  The Chinese Restaurant

This photo is from my bachelorette party circa 2007
But I'm holding sushi so I decided it could work.
What can I say?  I needed a photo

Now for the story:  He's sitting there, mowing some lo mein noodles, watching rescue bots on Steve's i-pad when BAM!  the biggest pee I've ever seen in my life soaks the booth, his pants, socks, sneakers etc.  We had to carry him out barefoot.  I'm pretty sure we're never allowed back.

2.  The Liquor Store

Pick him up at school, grab a happy meal, and run to liquor store for cheap bottle of red wine that I forgot to buy for the beef stew I was making for dinner.  I walk three steps away from the child and hear:  "Mama..pee-pee."  There he is standing in a puddle on the mat next to the cash register.  The lady working was less than pleased.  I offered to clean it up, but made the mistake of asking for carpet cleaner.   Apparently this is the first time someone urinated in her store and she never had use for carpet cleaner before.  She made sure she told me that (twice) and proceeded to give me a look that said "you shouldn't have your snot nose kids in my liquor store anyway."  I asked if she wanted me to spray her carpet with the windex she put on the counter and she said: "you better spray it with something before it stinks to high heaven."  Ok I get it, you're pissed (no pun intended) but it's not like I just peed in your store.  The kid is three and he is adorable and accidents happens.  I guess I'm going to have to start buying my booze somewhere else.  Her loss.  They might go out of business because this mama drinks a lot of wine - I mean if this incident proved anything its that I need my booze more than anyone else.  When we got to the car I said to Colt: "boy that was embarrassing huh?"  To which he replied, "no" and smiled that cute little chicklet tooth smile at me. Super.  I'm going to need a new liquor store.  Stat.

Hope you're having a terrific Tuesday and that no one pees on your stuff.

Mundane Monday

Hey all!

It's Monday!  Time for stream of consciousness and poor grammar!  Wooo hooo!

I'm home!  Getting back into the groove.  Cleaning my house, doing laundry, unpacking etc.

Time to get off the five ppounds I gained in roughly two weeks.  I mean I only ingested 17,500 EXTRA calories - that's only moderately disgusting right?  No?  You're right, it's flat out repulsive.  Time to get back on the wagon!

Big week.  My mom is here helping me organize and box up stuff for my HUGE garage sale Sept 13-15.  In-laws and extended family come Thursday.  Cooper's baptism is Sunday - I should probably get him an outfit...

I should also go food shopping...

Can't worry about that right now though.  I have book club at 7:00.  We read Fifty Shades.  You KNOW I'm not missing this one.  Even if there is nothing to eat in this house that isn't either frozen or wrapped in plastic.  Sorry kids, mommy will shop tomorrow.  Time for me and my inner goddess to pick up some wine and head to Annette's...

Just remember:

Ok that's all for now.

Laters baby,

(couldn't resist)

1992

Or as I like to call it:  4th grade.

Or the year my hubby graduated from high school.  I dig older guys what can I say?

Saturday we headed down to Herkimer, NY for Steve's 20th high school reunion.  Herkimer High partied like it was 1992.  (My idea of a party in '92 included Girl Talk, a Ouija Board and a Slam Book...so this was a little different.)

After panicking about what to wear I finally decided on my new bicycle dress from Anthropologie.

So glad I didn't go with the one shoulder floral cocktail dress I had originally wanted to wear - I definitely would have been over dressed!

Anthropologie dress, Vintage bracelet, Michael Kors watch,
Calvin Klein shoes, ModCloth bracelet,
Baroni necklace and earrings via Dragonflies in St. Augustine Florida 

Lucky for me, my best friend from college is married to one of my husband's best friend's from high school (we met at their wedding).  I hadn't seen her in years, so it was a Daniela and Jenny reunion too.  Good times were had by all.

Jenny and Daniela

I apologize for the lack of fun photos.  After remembering to take outfit photos (most of which came out terribly) I had two glasses of [warm, boxed] wine and got silly.  No embarrassing shots of drunken debauchery.  No raucous group photos.  No picture of me and the hubs.  Just a head shot of me and D.

The word on the street is that they want to do a 25th - so you'll have to wait 5 years for more entertaining pics... or 8 years for my 20th :)

Stay tuned,

xoxo
