Well, the gym changed their babysitting hours to only two times a week. That really sucks. Guess I will have to be a biggie girl and run with The Boy in the jogging stroller, which is a LOT more work than it sounds. That thing is heavy to push when running! Guess I will get that much stronger?
The Boy is potty trained... when I am with him. I refuse to put diapers on him, except to sleep... but he will NOT go potty for anyone but me and Sweet Love. Soooo... while I was at the gym, just started to run after lifting weights, I get called to come get him. He was sopping wet and had cried because he could not hold it. Poor baby. I need to figure out something. They don't make training pants that fit a 19 month old that still wears size 12 month clothes!
I have a lot of internal stuff brewing. It has been a rough couple of weeks. Not going to post it out there on the web for the world to see, but if you know me well enough to pray, it would be appreciated.
While I was lifting weights there was an older guy (not old, just older than me!) that was lifting REALLY big weights. Just before he left, he told me that I looked amazing for just having had a kid. I was shocked. Sometimes I think I should be insulted when someone says 'for having a kid', but somehow, I take it for what it is... I do look good for having a kid. The 'for having a kid' part to me, just means that not only is my body changed forever, but I have limited time and resources to look great. You know? It is harder to workout and eat clean with the demands of family life. Anyway, we talked a little bit more, and when he left, it was the first time in a LONG time that I felt like I was genuinely complemented by a man, and did not feel dirty about it. Not sure how to explain that. Think I got terribly warped having 2 brothers that tell me too much, and also being 'one of the guys' in high school! It was a nice part to an already rough day, which is just another day in a rough week, which has been another rough week in a rough month. I really needed that.

Hope your today is better.
Potty training is sooooo hard sometimes.. and frustrating
One of my sons wasnt trained completely until almost 3 years old! It was such a battle..I was so frustrated and worried..(i had two in diapers UHG) but when i finally gave up and let him train at his own pace he suddenly "wanted" to. It happened overnight. Poof. no more pullups.
After all that I just tried not to worry about it with my other son...we had no stresses and it just happened naturally...
Do what is easiest for YOU. If that means diapers and pullups for another 2 months..6 months.. 10 month its ok :)
someone told me one time.. "no one will ask when he is applying for college "when were you potty trained" :) .. and its so true :)
Hang in there!
Great job on your workout!
so cool that guy commented to you... thats so neat!
