I’m done for the day! What a crazy day. I’m not sure which is harder studying all day or trying to keep Emily busy and out of trouble. She’s getting mischievous. Little turkey grins at me and grabs whatever it is I didn’t want her to grab. So here is today’s moment of utter madness:

I run upstairs to punch some holes in this weeks recipes from Saving dinner. Then from downstairs I hear “Come downstairs Mom”. I head for the stairs and look down to find a completely nude toddler. She says to me “I go potty”. I’m like “ok we’ll go potty. Hope she didn’t pee on the floor”. Thats when I see them. Turds!!! Everywhere!!! AND one of them got stepped in and smooshed into the carped, and is now presumably being walked all over the living room on a size 5 foot. I guess I took to long coming back. So I took Em to the potty and cleaned her all up and shoved her in her high chair with some crayons while I dealt with…eww. Sooo anyways I shampooed the carpet today. Another step ahead of the Flylady routine. haha. I was only supposed to shine my sink, but I got all crazy and shampooed the carpet. Even though it was necessary I still count it as a point.

I hate potty training. Actually Em is really good at it already. She’s only pooped twice, but if I’m home all day she will only pee in the potty. It’s harder when she’s at a babysitters or something. She is too afraid to miss something, so she wont go. I bought her a potty book today. She loves that. And we got her Dora fruit snacks. Those are her candy treat. She’s never even seen Dora, but for some reason she is in love with her. Its weird. I’m not even sure she’ll ever get to watch Dora, but I’m ok with milking the “Dora” aspect of the treats for potty training. I figure she must have seen it once at someone else’s house or something. I cant even figure out how she knows who Dora is. She calls her Doy-ra.

I rocked the drums last night! I played with my Dads high school guitar class for their concert. It was like three hours. It was so much fun. I was so impressed with how good some of those punks are getting. When my high school guitar class played anything they only picked notes on nylon string guitars and pretty much just played Louie Louie. These kids were awesome. I was a bit nervous because most of the songs I had never even heard except yesterday when I looked them up on Youtube. I hadn’t played any of them before. The drums for Kryptonite by Three Doors Down is pretty tough to just go on stage and play for your first time, but It went pretty good. I kept losing my monitor, which was frustrating, but still ok. I have the theme song from Grey’s Anatomy stuck in my head. They did such an awesome job of it. We even played on song I had never heard before. It’s easier to do that with church songs than regular rock, but I’m glad it worked out good. I wore Roxy’s big Flying V earrings just for dramatic effect. I’m trying to get the video off my camera, but the last time I did it crashed my computer, so we’ll see how it goes.

Ok so seriously awesome movie…Stardust! I loved it. I think I can safely compare it to the league of such greats as Princess Bride and The emperors new groove. It ruled. If you haven’t seen it, you should. It’s a classic. I’m going to buy it next chance I get, otherwise It’ll cost me a small fortune renting it over and over and over. Its the story of a Young man who heads across a wall into another world to search for a fallen star to bring back a piece for the girl he loves. His journey is amazing. He runs into what’s left of 7 princes also seeing the star. Witches, Pirates, and even a goat turned into a man. How could that not be awesome. I want to tell you the whole story, but I don’t want to ruin it for you. And for the record: Robert De Niro is my hero!
