regret

I miss this blog and I think I acted too quickly - I jumped the gun as they say. This is my "home", my dear old blog. And any feelings of hate I had towards it just two weeks ago are gone: I miss it and can't stop thinking about it.

I want to buy it a nice facelift (anyone good with html?) and love it and nourish it and just keep on keepin' on. I may keep Toastess just because - but then again I may delete it. No rush on either hand here. Not anymore.

I've got nothing but time.

sick of the poop-talk

Potty training should not be this hard. Period. I know it shouldn't.

I'm feeling really discouraged, frustrated and just plain awful about the whole experience - and I know that's translating into how Sidney feels, too. She's been doing the easy part of potty-ing for a while now (the peeing part), it's just the hard part (the pooping) that we're stuck. She doesn't want to, and she goes for days without pooping because she's being so stubborn. I know it hurts, I've been there - I'm still there sometimes. I can understand, to a degree, the freak-out value of pooping in the potty.

But why is it so hard to get her there - what more can I do? How many days do I let her go without using the potty? Why is this so stinking hard?!

Talking about my kid's pottying habits is probably embarassing (to me and to her) but it's where I'm at. Aggravated and defeated. And sick of talking about sh*t like this.

new blog site: Toastess

I set up my new blog today ----> head on over to Toastess and start following the fun with me! I'll still update this blog for a little while; then the switch will be official and mommaruthsays will be no more.

Come on over and start this new blog adventure with me; I couldn't (and probably wouldn't) do it without you, my friends!

TGIF

Have one for me, ya'll.

best day of the week

I get to stay home with my sweet little gal on Wednesdays - and by far, it's the best day of my week.
