Not for the faint of heart

Poop rules my life right now and I just have to accept that it is what it is. Ty is learning how to poop on the potty (OMG!!!!!!!). He is so proud of himself (as we all should be!) and tells every adult that walks into daycare that he "pooped the big one in the potty". Katie is a digestive machine and is above and beyone "regular" and then, there's the dog. Jessie doesn't want to go outside in the rain to do her business. She can handle 20 inches of snow, but not the rain. It seems like everytime I turn around, I have to deal with a "poop" situation. Ugh.

On a lighter note:

Ty's new thing is to play computer games on the different kids websites. He loves the PBS Kids, Noggin and Disney sites, but PBS Kids is winning right now because of "Super Why?" Did you know that there is a character named Super Why? I didn't either until recently! Here's a picture I love of Ty and myself at the Memphis Children's Museum. If you haven't seem me in a while, notice I'm growing my hair back out.


Katie is pulling up to standing and wants everything that she can't get her hands on! I tell everyone that the best word to describe her right now is "determined".

Today I subbed in a class that was shifting sine and cosine graphs and I loved the challenge of refreshing myself on the material. PreCalc is definitely a level of math that you lose if you don't use it and I had to take about 20 minutes yesterday to remember how to find the period, amplitude, vertical shift, phase shift and then graph the curves. (How many of you remember the Unit Circle?) Ok, I know, I'm a math nerd (self-proclaimed, and I love it!) but I'm sure you can appreciate a time where you had to challenge yourself to learn something and then felt good over accomplishing the task.

Ok, what? I know you were speaking English, but it just flew right over my head. And I promise that I took calculus, I really did!

Annabeth loves Super Why! It's always said with that !!! on the end. It's a pretty good show. I'm not sure how much I like them changing the stories around, but hey, that is what imagination is for, right?

And I think your hair looks pretty. :-)

Amen on the Poop situation! My dogs refuse to go outside at all if it's raining... so I have tootsie rolls all over the house, which is so gross. Clorox Anywhere spray is my new BFF.
Oh yeah, SB poops a lot too. Thank God someone invented diapers.
