Guess Who's Getting a Raise

So the other day I was talking about being considered for a supervisory position at my job.  Saturday morning I talked to my store manager and the overnight manager about it.  They'd already decided who they were going to fill the supervisory position with.. and it wasn't me.

But there were TWO positions that I'd applied for!  The other one is still a full time overnight position and I was still very interested in it.  So I had my meeting with the managers and they gave me some very positive feedback.  I left with a strong feeling that I'd be chosen to fill the position.  So, again, this was on Saturday morning.

Don't Make Potty Training Harder Than It Needs To Be

I'm a super laid back type of mama.  I took that same approach to potty training both of my boys.

Now, sure, neither of them was potty trained before three.  If that's a deal breaker for you well.. I guess my laid back strategy won't appeal much to you.  The thing is.. why rush it?  With Matthew I tried to force it.  He was about two and a half and I thought he was already "late" potty training!  So I started taking him into the bathroom.  He had his Cheerios and his potty book.  And we would read and snack and wait.  And wait.  And wait.  Finally, after 20 minutes, there'd be a tinkle!  And a celebration!  He'd get off the potty and I'd put on his big boy underwear and he'd pee them.  And the floor.  Immediately.  I'd clean it up and we'd try again in another half hour or so.

Wordless Wednesday: Rolling Down a Hill

First Day of Summer!

Today is the FIRST day of summer vacation!  I know, it's weird that the last day of school was on a Monday, but we had a full week off from Hurricane Sandy plus a few other snow days to make up.

I have no idea what I'm going to do!  I need to settle us into some type of routine, but Matthew will be leaving for Florida soon and I still am not sure whether or not I'm getting this new position.. (signs are looking good though!).

Today we're making sure the boys' room is good and clean.  I think it's just about time for a yard sale and I'd love to get a good inventory of all of their toys and figure out what's broken, what's not, what they still play with, and what I can sneak out of there!
