ok i had this amazingly great blog written up yesterday and then my internet stopped working, pooped out, and now i have to start over. no good. i mean my blog was witty, interesting, funny, well written...now you are all stuck with my usual- hurried insanity. i never have time to really get these things right. i mean i dont even read over them after i've typed them, so its truly stream of consciousness writing, misspelled words and all. i tried to post a vid of jade talking but it wont work so you'll just have to talk to jade yourself to hear the cuteness. the pics are just some recent ones. David came up to provo a couple of weeks ago and jade fell in love, but really whats not to love about this kid? i love him. I went to garage sale shopping this last saturday and boy did i score!!! i spent $11 and got 13 things. yeah it was awesome. i mean i got two china tea pots that are beautiful, my mom a christmas present (lets be honest i'll probibly end up giving it to her early), a bunch of toys for jade, some shoes and skirt. The best part about the skirt is A) it fits me and B) its a a size 8!!!! thats right i'm back down to a size 8, i'm so stoked! those 300situps five times a week is working! Enough about my nonsense, the best purchase of the whole day by far is the fisher price kitchen for Jade. She adores this, honestly, huge love there. She plays and play, pulls our finger over to her so we can play with her, plays. its so cute. i made her an apron so now we can cook together. it is going to be so fun to go and do things together as girls as my kids grow. i was so worried about having girls but man this is fun! Potty training update: quit. Seriously to worst experiance of my life. are you flippin' kidding me?!?! I tried the '3 day' training process and was done in 8 hours. i've never had so much pee on me in my life, ever. you are supposed to just follow your kid around for three days and as soon as they start to go to the bathroom you rush them to the potty. you are supposed to constantly be praising them, and constantly telling htem to tell you when theyneed to go potty. i'm sure that if you dont have any other kids and a nanny and a biohazard suit this method would be great. as i have a baby, no nanny, and a serious lack of biohazard suit this method was a peeing hell. Jade peed: in front of the tv, on her chair, in Cameron's shoes, in her shoes, on my lap, oh my hip while holding her, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, around the potty...everywhere- a zillion time. i ran the panties through the washer three times in three hours, it was going constantly. she went through at least 50 pair of panties in three hours. perhaps that doesn't sound like a lot to you folks. well i'd like to challange all those naysayers out there- change your undies 50 times in three hours, yeah feel the burn! at one point i had no panties left as some where drying in the dryer, some where in the washer and the rest where full of pee on the washer. i mean this is nuts. if i wanted to get pee all over me i'd be a nurse- as least they get paid for it. why do you think i quit that job working in the handicapped home? i was sick of smelling of pee and adult diapers when i got home. i was so stressed out doing this stupid potty training. i didn't know there could be that amount of liquid in such a small body. so, next month we are going to try something else- something with where i'll get less pee on me is the plan. I'm learning how to belly dance. i decided that this would be a fun way to exercise. we have netflix and so i can get this beginners belly dancing video online. its stinkin' hard! i'm not kidding. it took forever for me to figure out how to do the horizontal 8 with only my rib cage. i'm pretty sure i still look like a fool but its fun. i've never thought of myself as a sexy person, i mean i'm gangly and oddly shaped. you watch those dancers, really anywhere, and think whoa how do they move like that. mostly when i try to dance seriously i just look foolish- not anymore my friends! i'm going to learn how to move so that i dont look like a fool and even better i'm getting great abs while i do it! ha! So, there is the update to our lives.
