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!
