Let The Potty Training Begin

We're not sure if we're ready but here we go. Hopefully I'll win this "Potty Training in Less than a Day" book on eBay. I think Donovan is ready, he knows about the potty chair, likes to sit on it (clothed and nekkid). He knows the difference between the different functions. Should be interesting.

I received my two sign language books that I won on eBay and am excited to start learning. Now that I have the first 5 Harry Potter books read, I'll have the time to get started. I'm looking forward to that! I have a customer at my work that is deaf and I would love to surprise her some night by signing something more than hi or thank you. Her daughter and grandaughter come with her all the time and they are just great people. Maybe I can get Donovan to learn some and later on Phia as well. Donovan already knows how to count to ten in English, Spanish and German. He knows how to count only to three in French but that's 'cause that's all I know. Oh well. Georgia can teach him that when (or if) we move to LaCrosse.

Kirk had an interview in Burnsville last Monday and it looked promising but the more he thought about it, it wasn't going to work out. It was strictly commission paid and those are kind of risky, esp when you've never worked with the product before. He has his resume and applications out to a lot of companies in LaCrosse and the Minneapolis 'burbs. I'm crossing my fingers for LaCrosse but if the job is in Minneesotah, so be it.

Sophia is crawling all over the place now. She follows Kirk all over. He goes to the kitchen and a minute later, there's the little diva. I do believe that's going to be her nickname. Little Diva and Peanut. Yeah, that'll work.

Kaysar let Jen win HOH on BB6 and she promptly broke her promise to him and put up Rachel and Janelle. The plan is to get James out with one of the girls winning the POV. Needless to say, Kaysar's group was none too happy. So far, I'm still wanting Maggie to win the whole shootin' thing. Time will tell.

I've been thinking about my Gramma a lot lately. That leads me to think of Kirk's Grampa who passed away 2 years ago. Two years. Seems like just yesterday we lost him. This is from our wedding. Kirk's Gramma W, Grampa W (who passed away) my Gramma (who has passed as well) and Kirk's Gramma and Grampa H. The kids are so blessed to have both set of grandparents and 3 great grandparents to love them in this life. I know the others are all looking down with pride. I better stop, I don't want to short out the keyboard now that the tears are coming. Have good night everyone and kiss those that you love.

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well,

Trish Needs.......

I did this cause of Suzi, whose page I read religiously - check her out here . I'm going with the top 30 Google responses to "Trish needs" because SO many of them are related to wrestling of which I am a fan but not capable of doing without killing myself and/or the other person (unless it's the husband in bed but we won't go there. No. We won't. His sister reads this! Hi Steph!) I've decided to add commentary where I feel it's needed because, well, because I can. 1. Trish needs to always be in control of the situation and her men (amen to that my friends) 2. Trish needs to get this card off as soon as possible 3. Trish needs to do some serious damage control 4. Trish needs your help (help packing, help mentally, help with laundry, help with Monkey Boy, etc) 5. Trish needs to come to OPS and talk to all counselors & supervisors 6. Trish needs a makeover ( I don't think it's THAT bad!) 7. Trish needs an intervention (I do not have an Oreo pr
