I Fear It Yet I Love It

We are entering a new era in the house of Wise. Potty Training. Yipes. Diapers are costing way too much and Monkey Boy knows how to follow commands. I've been having some issues with Pampers lately. He wears size 6 and weighs almost 47 pounds. Therein lies a huge problem. He's got some junk in his trunk. He's a big boy. It's all good though. The tabs keep breaking off of the diapers and no matter what I do, there they are: on the floor, in his bed, in Peanut's mouth because she finds them on said floor or bed. Sometimes we use Huggies but they don't seem to hold has much at night as the Pampers.

This weekend I picked up some underwear for him. We also got some of these and some of these. Being the idiot that I am, I thought that 9 pairs would do us well. Yeah no, 3 stinky accidents and 5 wet ones, yeah I'll be doing laundry every other day. I think I'll run out tonight and get some of these and maybe even some of these. He loves to go potty and I thank the good Lord for that! When he went poop in the potty, I thought I would cry. Until you've tried potty training a kid, an attention span limited one at that, you have no idea what going poop in a potty means. Most kids are terrified to do that. They'd rather poop in the underwear. He did that too a couple times. Things are going well though. We take him in every fifteen minutes (30 minutes when it's just me home with both kids). Maybe seeing Monkey Boy go potty will help Peanut when she gets old enough. We'll have to wait and see.

What? Oh, yes, laundry, I'm coming.

Let me know how it goes. We're almost there.

PS - Huggies overnites rule (I know, I'm a Pamper Cruiser Mom too).

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
