Bebe. Ready to potty train?

So I was sitting on the couch reading my Facebook when I hear Bebe whining and falling. I thought what is she up to now? I see her trying to exit the bathroom with no diaper on. The reason she was falling is because she had peed all over the floor. My question is, "Was she trying to use the potty?" Maybe, the world may never know. All I have to say is that it would be awesome if my 16 month old decided it was time to start to potty train. More money in my pocket and less in Pamper's pocket.

Brother Gary Bengtzen


I found out a few days ago that one of my favorite people from my mission had cancer. I was heart broken. When I read his family blog I found out he had grade 4 cancer meaning it was too late to cure him. He was diagnosed January 11th and he took his last breath yesterday. He was surrounded by family. He has been since he found out. He was a good man with a big heart. I know he was suffering with a lot of pain from his cancer. I know it must have been hard to watch this healthy happy man go through what he did. He was loved and will be missed. He was a good father, husband, and friend. His family is in my thoughts today. I am glad I was able to see how he treated his wife and the smile on his face. He was my friend. I will miss you very much Gary. May God bless your family and until we meet again, we love you and your beautiful wife.

Motherhood has it's boundries

Snuggle time should not while you are in the restroom. Seriously I draw the line there. I don't mind, every time, when my kids walk in and out of the restroom, but come on let me have a moment to myself. Snuggle with me when I am in the living room or in my bedroom. The joys of Motherhood.

My body

stayed home from church today and slept. My back and now my neck hurt pretty bad. I am going to see my doctor tomorrow to see what can be done for relief. I feel like the pain has crept up my back and is giving me a stiff neck. I do fine, most of the time, standing. Sitting has been such a chore between the aches and pains and the nausea and sometimes headaches that I get. The headaches have decreased except for the pressure that builds up between my eyes almost like a migraine. This pain usually occurs later in the day when I sit.

I have been trying to be a good sport and to do almost everything that is required of a mother of two and a wife. Some days, like I had two this week, are awful. I want to feel good today. I really do.

I have not been wanting to eat, but force myself because I need to. Food is just gross and makes me feel all gross inside. Yesterday/this morning has been the worse. I finally just had to eat a PBJ. You know it taste pretty good right now.

I just hope all the heat patches and Tylenol I am taking are okay. I don't want to hurt the baby. The doctor prescribed them so I should be fine. I just worry about that. I just want it to be okay and healthy, as any Mother would.

I hope to have good news or some relief tomorrow when I go see my Dr. I am kind of nervous to hear what will be said. I don't want to be put on bed rest. I just can't do that right now. There is too much going on. Adam doesn't need the extra pressure to take care of us with all his classes and teaching.

I know everything will be okay in the end, but it is hard when you are going through something that you have not before. I am grateful for friends and family who have been supportive with love, good advice, and help. It has been very humbling to know so many people care about my family and that everything is okay with us. Thank you!

Kroger


Kroger had a great sale this week and mine is located by a Pet store and JoAnns. Both convenient for me. I remember why I don't shop there. They have a MILLION different kinds of Kroger yogurt, but five flavors of Yoplait. I am a yogurt snob. I will admit it openly. For some reason I must have my yogurt in that little Yoplait container. I just can't eat it any other way. I have tried. I really did. Come to find out my husband is a yogurt snob, too. He must have his in a Yoplait container as well. So I must say good-bye to Kroger and hello to my other options. Publix and Wal-Mart have the best Yoplait selections, including Blueberry Pomegranate and Acai Pomegranate. they are so so so so so so so YUMMY! I want one now...., but I went to Kroger so I must settle for Very Cherry. Next week I will be back at Publix where milk is expensive, but they sell my yogurt.
