Figured it out

This week when things are busy busy, I am trying hard to remember Nanny's mother's prayer and be thankful that I have things I need to do and a body which is strong and capable of doing them.
 
Still.  I figured out that a big part of the stress of this week is potty-training.  
I am keeping him naked most of the time at home, at least from the waist down, and basically, we're running with him every time he says "kucky."
Which is, of course, always at the last minute, and often a minute too late.
So I'm also running around wiping up a hundred "spills."
And there is the associated screaming.
 
Note to self:  cereal bowls with Corn Bran (pillows) must go on coffee table or some other raised surface.  Lots of screaming when they were in the bowl on the floor.  He was leaning over to munch them when he had an accident, half-drenching them in the stream.  Ew... I'm never using that particular bowl again.  He screamed and screamed because I took away his cereal.
 
Not that this is a complaint.
Busy hands are indeed a bracha.
A busy life seems to be better for me than the opposite.
 
So I'm thankful.  And potty-training.  All at the same time!

  1. Oh dear. I always thought that the "naked all day" thing was done outside. You're a brave, brave woman to be doing it in the house!

  2. In summertime, we make very little distinction between "inside" and "outside." Bugs, squirrels, rain, raccoons, shoes off, naked tushies...and that's just our living room!

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
