Facebook and potty training




So I've never been the type of mom who forced the potty on my kids. I always waited until they "got it" themselves.
Frankly, I don't remember "training" either one of them.
My son grew up on a hill surrounded by woods and fields and he was au naturel most of the time anyway.
As for Bugs...I honestly can't remember.

So I thought I'd do the PC thing and buy Boo a potty, just to play with, and to 'talk' about it.
Hmmm...She plays with it alright, she shoves Bert in there every day, usually slams the lid on him too. Hence the confused look on his face.

I guess we'll just wait and see. While in the meantime dropping little hints.

She was rather rambunctious today, and my head is still spinning. Wouldn't take her nap. Which might be the new phase. ARGHHH...

Wheelie ruptured his eardrum by poking a Qtip in it. His hands must have been extra shaky this morning. SO now he has been dripping blood now and then. Guess that will mean a call to the doctor tomorrow.

One of my oldest friends in America hooked me up on Facebook.

Lord almighty!!!

It's amazing that people actually FIND you on there.

Like Sven...:>)

Three of my son's old friends from high school found me also. And it has been neat to read how their lives have turned out. Some sad stories, some happy stories, and one gal who was always OUT there, an artiste, who claims to be a bona fide porn star.
You go girl!

They all would love to get a hold of my son, but I wouldn't dare contact him for them.
I keep relaying the info to Puri, let him deal with it.

So my Face book is getting some hits. Neat! From my caregivers group. Nice to see pictures of people who's emails you read every day.

And the one who started it all, lord girlfriend, you are already so busy in your life (currently involved getting prop 8 reversed in CA) WHERE DO you GET THE ENERGY???

I am getting reports from Australia, via Holland, no less. I guess my cousin Margo took Iggy up on his offer to move to his cottage away from it all. I don't know if she took her computer, but they are safe for now.
It's just so impossible to imagine what they are going through. But everyone is safe. My aunt probably is in blissful oblivion, I hope they keep her that way, no use confusing her even more.

The weather has turned warmer today here. It was 70 degrees, we took a nice long walk. Played on the swings and slid down the slide.

Whoopee!

So on my day off yesterday I dragged myself to the Hobby Lobby to see if they had any yarn on sale. I've had my eye on this really kewl frilly loopy stuff that was made in Italy and cost 10 bucks a skein. Wonderful colors, difficult to pick from.
So it was my lucky day! $1.99 a skein! I promptly bought two of each color.
I then ran into a whole aisle with wind chimes and sun catchers and saw this leaded glass sun with beads and baubles hanging down from it. Got that too!

The Paxil and the la-la drug seem to be doing their job. I do feel a little lighter. And when I do feel the dread coming on I take my little white pill.
I even bought me a little pill box, cute little thing that says: Medicated and Motivated. *lol*

Bugs called me and asked me to go online to find out about non custodial parents/abandonment stuff...
Be proud of me now:

I told her to get her butt on over to the people who can actually ANSWER her questions. ARGHHH...

I'm going to bed now...watch the dog show.

SGMKJ!

Cool projects with the yarn. Looks nifty. I like the bright colors.

When you talked about Facebook, I wondered if your son was on Facebook. Might be interesting to look and see.

Proud of you for telling Bugs to get a proper consult from the folks with the proper info on what's what in Georgia. That's what she needs.

Any resumes going out? I hope so. That job is a killer.

Glad your antidepressants are working! I'm never planning to go off mine!

Take care, gf!
