Dear Blog,
I will be back soon. However my computer sucks and I am lucky to get this typed without some kind of stupid computer error. I am not bitter, no. I have many blogs in my head. I will try to remember them all for later.
Sincerely,
hooigans are us

The 4th day of school
So, I get a call that Davis is refusing to eat his lunch and crying. I tell them that is his lunch take it or leave it and they agree. Keep in mind this is a lunch he eats all the time. Hot dog, applesauce, goldfish and a drinkable yogurt.
Then I get a call saying he is in the office crying that he is sick and wants his mommy. Now the preschool director is trying to be very cautious that this is not just new school jitters. She asked Davis if he likes school when he feels well and he said yes. They also had sent 3 kids home with high fevers so something is going around. I tell them I will come pick him up since it is nap time anyway and he is usually happy go lucky.
So here is what he has to say when I pick him up and we are walking out.
D (with a coy little smile on his face) I am so glad you are here mama
Me Do you feel sick?
D not any more
Me Do you feel yucky?
D Not any more
Me Then why were you crying for me?
D I just love you mama, I'm so glad you are here.
When we get home he can hardly contain his excitment of being home. He's playing and running around. It took him an hour to settle in and take a nap. Not sick, not sick at all.
That little terd.
I need to buy a copy of the boy who cried wolf.

Yippee,

Davis had a good, but more imprtantly dry first day of school.
Whatever you do, Davis, don't look at the camera!

Potty Training...again
Yes, it is another blog about potty training. It has taken over my life.
So it is Monday and I am taking Davis to get a new backpack and lunch box for school since he has never had a new one. Thanks to Big D he always winds up with a hand me down.
We venture out in big boy underwear because I am done with pull ups.
JoAnn fabrics 9:45
Me Do you need to go potty?
D NO
Pottery Barn kids at the mall 10:30ish
D Mama pee pee's coming out
Me Shit (under my breath). Here sit in your stroller we are going to the bathroom.
Mall bathroom 10:32ish
Me Davis you pooped in your new Diego underwear.
D pee pee and poo poo come out.
Me Say goodbye to Diego he is going in the trash.
D Bye bye Diego. (he could care less)
We buy a backpack and lunch box and call it a day.
Home 12:00ish
Me Do you need to go potty
D Nope
1:15ish
D Mama pee pee's coming out.
So I clean up a puddle of pee on my carpet.
2:30ish
D Mama pee pee's coming out.
That's right again same spot I clean up a puddle of pee on my carpet.
3:15 We are heading out to pick up Derek from school.
Me You have to sit on the potty before we get in the car.
D (on the potty) No pee pee's coming out
Shocking seeing how he just peed twice on the carpet.
3:30 Doctor's office for well checks
Derek and Davis both drink up their Tylenol to get a chicken pox vaccine. They always fill the little dispenser cup with water to wash it down. So Davis was standing on a little kid chair to reach the water in the room. He gets down and what do ya know...
D Pee pees come out! (splatter splatter)
The poor nurse throws some paper towels down and watches me clean up. I don't blame her a bit and told her that I would clean it up b/c who wants to clean up some other kid's pee. I don't want to clean up my own kids pee.
Nurse Umm are they ready for their shots?
Me No let me get him in dry clothes.
It is at this moment that I sit down in the little kid chair to take off the wet clothes and put on the dry when I realize that the pee pee started coming out BEFORE he got off the chair and I am now sitting in it.
So great after 3 "accident" clean ups I sit in the 4th. NEAT.

Charlotte's Web
So tonight we had frozen pizza and ice cream for dinner. Then we watched Charlotte's Web on the big TV upstairs. Thanks to my wonderful friend who dropped the movie off for us to borrow. Thus saving me from purchasing the only somewhat kid friendly pay per view movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I would be explaining why at our house we don't say "kick butt" for the next month.
Okay so back to my original thought of Charlotte's Web. I totally forgot about Charlotte dying at the end. Derek was sitting on the couch with me when she is explaining how she is dying to Wilbur. I look over at him to find huge tears welled up in his eyes and his little chin beginning to quiver. When he glanced over at me he quickly blinked them away and choked back any more that were on the way.
He has been so emotional lately. He bawled his eyes out in the car when he and Clint dropped me off at the airport for Santa Fe. He told Clint that he was sad that our family was going to be in all different places. I have to say all this weepiness tugs at my heart because he is not the emotional sensitive one. Does this mean he might lighten up on the stubbornness? I can dream can't I?

I have a blog
So, with the inspiration of my two best McKinney friends I started this blog. Then, I quit! I am horrible. However I have been inspired again. This time by my cousin. She is really my cousin's wife, but being the only girl in the family, I claim all the girls as my own. I think that is only fair.
So, I finally passed my exam. I had to fly to Santa Fe since they changed testing companies, but hallelujah I passed. I scored and 85 percent...take that!
I celebrated by drinking wine and eating out in Santa Fe. Then I came home and celebrated at my friends house with an awesome steak dinner and all kinds of fun beverages. It is possible that I celebrated a little too much. I don't know, when you go to a party in jeans and end up in a pair of shorts you found in the closet so you could be better at doing flips on the trampoline is that too much? Did I mention it was her mom's birthday? I think the fact that I was celebrating two things makes it alright.
Potty training? Did I blog something about potty training? My kid is 3, he pees in his pants everyday. Not to mention the day he pooped on my moms balcony. Nice. I would give up, but I would rather not send my kid to college in pull ups.
Well, I am off to change another pull up....
