I Have a major case of summeritis. I am dying here!!! I have on more week of class and all I want is to be done! And the worst part is I don't want to do any work. I should be writing this five page paper on wiretapping and instead of that I am writing this blog! That's just sad. Elliott is knocked out asleep and Mike is at work, by all accounts its the perfect time to work on this paper, its completely quiet. Mike will be getting off work soon and I haven't done any of it! At least its not due until wed.
Oh and I finally fond an internship! I thought there for a minute I wouldn't find one. I was getting frustrated. I mean come on who turns down a free worker in this economy? I am calling these law firms saying I need to work in a law firm the entire summer and oh yeah you don't have to pay me anything. Who turns that down? I found one though at a law firm in town that is a couple. She does family law and he does criminal law. It will be an interesting summer and I am very excited. I can't focus on finals which is bad.
Elliott has a double ear infection which has not been fun the past few days. He is not sleeping well and so that means I am not sleeping well. He slept with me last night and now my neck hurts and I can't turn my head to the left. I have spent most of the day with a heating pad on it.
Oh and still not potty. He told me he wants to wear diapers always. yeah well that's not going t happen. Once he is well we are going to go cold turkey again and see how it goes.
Time to get to work. My to do list is way long and time is running out.

Lets get serious for just a moment
OK i need help from all of my mommy friends out there.
My son is wetting the bed like every night!!! Now we are not talking undies here we are talking filling the diaper and then massive overflow! I have tried all kinds of things... nothing to drink after 7, changing his diaper at 10 before I go to bed, nothing seems to help. He goes down completely dry and then wakes up 3, 4, 8 am all wet. I am changing sheets and blankets every night and washing bedding daily. it is getting so old. Does anyone know anything that might help?
OK so no more pee pee talk. lets move on to something worse, cussing.
Yeah I said cussing... Elliott's new favorite word is damn it. And yes he uses it in context. yesterday he was coloring at the table dropped his crayon and there it was "damn it!" I don't know what to say anymore. We have had numerous conversations about how that is bad and we shouldn't say it, and yes mommy is a very bad girl who should go to time out for saying it. (guilty as charged he heard it from me... it was an accident)
Here is the kicker though, his teacher tells me last week that while he was playing by himself he kept saying bitch! now I was shocked that's not a word I use at all. where did that one come from? I am totally puzzled on this one.
oh and still not going potty! he has decided he likes his diapers better!

been a while
So its been a while and there have been a few things happen that are making me crazy. Ready cause I am about to unload!!!
OK first of all I am seriously annoyed that my son is being so difficult with potty training. I think it has to do with the fact that I worked in child care for so long and potty trained so many kids that I feel that I should be somewhat of a specialist by now!!! Only my child is hell bent on proving me completely wrong. He was nearly fully potty trained two weeks ago and then just decided he doesn't want to anymore!! Can you believe that? He told me that he didn't want to potty anymore that he would just wear a diaper instead. He now tells his teacher that he doesn't like the potty anymore. See I take this very personally even though deep down I know that is just stupid. I have two thoughts concerning this.... 1. he had some sort of traumatic experience at school while he had a substitute teacher and is now scared of the potty or...2. he is just being a head strong poop head (to sensor my self and yes pun intended as well) and feels the need to have control over this issue and to get attention by refraining from using the toilet!
So enough about that. My husband is working at the Nike outlet now which don't get me wrong I love that he has a job and is bringing in money but wow what a change of pace from an 8-5 job. He is working a lot in the evenings and weekends which on one hand is great but on the other sucks. I like that I have some alone time in the evenings after Elliott goes to bed but I seriously hate that he is home in the mornings and sleeps in. It is so hard for me to get up at seven to workout and start my day when my bed is warm and cozy and also still occupied by my snuggle buddy!! So this morning I didn't get up until 830 and did not work out at all which is bad! we are trying to get skinny here not fat!
so that was my rant and now I am moving on to more happy things.... we took Elliott to see HOP at the theatre on Friday and he absolutely loved it! He sat there still and quiet the whole time eating his popcorn and drinking his juice like such a big boy (so if he can do that why cant he pee on the toilet? OK letting it go!) I was so proud of him. It was a very cute movie. He wants to see it again and he doesn't understand that I can not just rent it on netflix like I do Clifford and caillu!
Mike just found that build a bear has a hop bunny so we are going to get it for him for his Easter gift!
I have to start looking for a job for my internship this summer and I am stressing out. I have to redo my resume which I haven't even looked at in over a year. This is going to be interesting, I have to take it from childcare to legal serious and I am not sure how.
Well there is so much to get done so I must go now and work on all the crazy things in my life!

Its a monday again!!
So it's monday again!! I spent all weekend trying to potty train my son. Oh and besides this morning he refused to pee the whole weekend. Ok so answer me this... how can my son go all day in underwear at school and pee on the toilet as needed for the last two weeks and then come home and have accident after accident while with me? is it a personal thing? Am I just not cool enough or whats the deal. His teacher is just special I guess.
So on saturday I spent some time on the internet reading potty trainging info that covered all spectrums and got what i thought was some good Ideas and nothing worked
One article I read said to put the portable potty somewhere he spends a lot of time so that he doesnt feel that he really ahs to stop what he is doing to go potty. So i put the potty in the corner of the living room where he sat on it may times but only inbetween accidents. So after a day of that not helping I created a sticker chart and so far that has not really helped either. I just don't get it. I mean if he was having issues at school too then I wouldnt be worried but he goes all day at school!
Anyone with suggestions I would gladly take them!!
Just gotta keep working I guess!

Funny stories
I have decided that I am going to devote most of this blog to the funny things my child does.
This morning on the way to school my son was in the bckseat drinking his milk out of hid buzz lightyear sippy cup when all of the sudden he says, " hey buzz whatcha doin? you sleepy? I sleepy! maybe we nap later! love ya buzz bye bye!"
Now I am not sure if this was a two sided conversation in his mind or he just wanted to hear himself talk but either way it made me chuckle!!!
It was so cute.
Oh and this morning when I tried to get him to wake up he told me "no mommy, sleep now school tomorrow" I said Elli we have to go to school now mommy has class" his answer was, " Mommy I stay here you go school night night!"
yeah like I am going to leave him at home alone but I guess he thought that would be a good idea.
I love him.
he had school pictures a few weeks ago and I got them back so cute.
i took a picture of the picture. lol kinda cheesy but works.

Is it Friday yet?
Wow... thats all I can say. For those of you who don't know me well I had lap band surgery in 2006 and lost a lot of weight but have a lot more to lose. I went to the doctor today and had my band tightened so that I eat less and feel full longer. So for the next two days I am on a liquid/ soup diet and the slowly add solids back in. I forgot how hard it is to only have liquids!! but I made it through day one so I am doing good so far.
I am so excited because Elliott's school pictures are in and I can pick them up in the morning!! I hope they turned out well.
Mike is fighting a stomach bug which is not fun. He turns into a bit of a baby. Even though I do when I am sick as well some how it bugs me just slightly. ( but don't tell him that!)
I went shopping with my mom, aunt, and cousin today and that was fun. I ran into an old friend that I used to work with and it was really nice to catch up.
I do not want to go to my 8 am class though. Well I guess I should go to bed cause its getting late and 6 is really early!
Good night all!
