I think I’ve told anyone that will listen that when it comes to potty training, I’m a complete failure. My control-freak nature and complete lack of patience may have played a part in it.

My good friend Troy called me last night.  I was a little surprised to hear from her.  The baby isn’t due to be born until December 22nd, and Kyle is home on his mid-tour break from Afghanistan.  No way should she be taking time away from her family right now to talk to me! Anyway, [...]

No… it’s not that.  (A month later, we STILL don’t know what part of Chicago we’re going to.  But, for now, let’s get off that nasty subject.) It’s a HAPPY DAY because my mom found my missing camera!!  No – it wasn’t my kick ass Nikon DSL that I lost, thank God, but it was [...]
