My Day

I've discovered that I'm not a huge fan of blogs that the body of the post is a great looking photo and the rest of the post is just links... Rather annoying.

Anyways...

So my husband is in Indiana at the house we still own... You read that right. The. House. We. Still. Own.

Four years is how long it has been sitting empty... Four years!

He went out this weekend with his dad to get the lift and air compressor out of the garage. We originally left them as a selling point of the house but now we want to be able to use them. And they obviously aren't helping to sell the house.

Onto other more pleasant stuff...

I bought a new sewing machine today... I haven't got to take it out of the box yet. Mason was such a handful today that I just didn't have the time. In other words I wouldn't have been able to give my full attention to getting it set up. Even after he went to bed I was cleaning and getting stuff ready for tomorrow so it is still sitting in the box. I'll break it out here in a little bit.

Potty training is going great. I don't dare go to town yet without him having a diaper on but we'll get there. He is getting better about the poop issue. He is a little boy and it is just soooo much fun to pee standing up that he doesn't want to sit down so it... um... falls out while he is peeing. Let me tell you how totally awesome that is on my white bathroom mats. Yep, pretty AWESOME. Oh, and his aim!! Yep. Nuf said there. I have no expectation of my bathroom smelling un-urinal like in the near future... I know that sounds like it should be an easy fix but... it isn't. I clean the bathroom before I go to bed every night because really who wants their bathroom to smell like piss? Not me!! It never fails though that after the first time he goes pee it smells. I know I could clean it up after every time he goes but he goes like every 20 minutes. I would never leave the bathroom!! I have taken to just spraying it down with some vinegar and bleach every couple of hours. Not ideal but better than the old urinal smell.

Overall we have had a pretty good day. Mason went down for bed surprisingly easy. I couldn't believe it. I figured he would cry and cry but he didn't. He did ask for tons of kisses. Melt my heart!! Nothing is better than little boy bedtime kisses. It makes up for him being so naughty. Most days anyways.

The dogs also had an active day. They found a dead toad in the yard and had to roll around on it for awhile so after Mason's last poop and his bath they also got baths. Nothing is worse than trying to give two minpins baths... I was drenched afterwards! I literally wrung out my shirt. I don't know if I'll ever get the wet dog smell out of my bra either... My favorite bra!! I don't know what I was thinking. Well I do... I was thinking they smelled. They smelled bad. There was no way they were getting on my bed smelling like that! Especially Hyde since he seems to think he needs to sleep on my spare pillow above my head. Yes above my head. I am short and like my toes hanging off the end of the bed when I sleep on my stomach so there is room for another pillow above my head. I put a crappy pillow in an old pillowcase and he sleeps there. It was either that or fight him over my pillow. Call me lazy! I tried to train him to sleep on Austin's pillow but he just won't.

So that is how my day has gone. I am ready for some cooler temps and my boy to learn to poop on the potty. After all these hot temps and crazy humidity though it is a toss up as to what one I would choose if presented with the choice of just one.

I'm sure tomorrow will be just as... wonderful so I'm gonna go play with my new machine and then go to bed. My goal is midnight to be in bed... Quit laughing...
