Potty training 101

Potty training felt like it was so easy with Jazz. However Jakie has been a different story. Tonight I discovered that Jakie was out of pull-ups. Not feeling like driving to the store, I put him on a pair of underwear. I placed the timer on every fifteen minutes. I also ran water while he was using the potty. I am debating on sending him with underwear on. His teacher takes him to the potty a minimum of 15 times. I just don't want to discourage him. I guess I will play it by ear in the morning.

Date #2

Today is my turn to plan our date. It's amazing how one week has improved our marriage. Maybe I should have listened to Sandi a long time ago. Anyway, we are going to the reservoir and talk. I live to be in chill mode even though it doesn't happen often. I hope he enjoys this because I am craving intimacy. Wish me luck.

Reflections for the day

Three things I want to remember:
1. How empowering it felt to mow my own lawn
2. Buying one of my students a journal to help her control her outbursts and to begin a transformation towards improving her ability to channel negative energy.
3. Making use of every minute and second. I avoided procrastination and achieved so many things.

Two things I want to know more about.
1. Bookkeeping: my bookkeeping skills aren't as great as they could be.
2. Discipline: I believe that I could accomplish so much more if I stayed focused and was more disciplined.

One thing I wish:

I wish that I would be more financially secure. I have great potential, wonderful ideas, and unbelievable tenacity. However I have a hard time making it all profitable.

Rested, but not quite

What an amazing weekend at my parents. I attended a writing institute and was able to relax. It's so wonderful to spend time at my parents' house. I was able to sleep which was greatly needed. Although I was able to sleep yesterday and today, I don't understand how I am still so tired now. Have you ever felt tired even after long periods of slumber?
