back to blogspot

I let my domain expire (oops!) last month, which was a total suprise to me. I always forget to check my gmail account. I mean, hello, I've had the same hotmail account for 10+ years now. Who needs gmail?

And apparently there's this big complicated process, involving at least $89 and hours on the phone with GoDaddy in order for me to get my ".com" status back - and in this economy? It just ain't happening, baby. I'll gladly go back to my ".blogspot" beginnings.

I'm just grateful all my content is still here - I was worried when I switched back, I'd lose everything I had as ".com" blog. But luckily, everything seems to still be here! And I'm here, which is all that matters, right?

Right.

lately

Life's been good lately, what can I say?

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!
