Life is an adventure: Mommy potty training fail...

At 18 months my little was almost completely potty trained. It was wonderful! Then something happened and we have spent the last 18 months trying to get her back to being fully potty trained. Well we have tried everything from taking away diapers and putting her in “big girl panties”, bribes, and a few other mommy tips and tricks. Nothing has been avail.

Well recently we went on a family trip to San Diego. She was doing well. Making pee in the potty and even trying to poop. Can I say I was thrilled! Except apparently she was just showing off for me… We left her with my mom (whom btw is my Aunt) and she crapped her pants. I do not mean she had a little sneak attack, she blew throw the panties and we had to throw them away. (Double bag style) I tried to show her how disappointed I was, but it did not faze her for more than 30 seconds. The next day same thing, but I wanted to try to save the panties.

Mind you I have a super weak stomach, so when I say I wanted to save the panties I mean I wanted my hubby to go clean them because he can handle stink smells like that.

Well, hubby didn’t want to do it. So I am in the bathroom cleaning these panties throwing up.
Hubby comes in and goes oh I would have done it…
*steaming at this point*
Please, just leave me alone.

(Please picture this: I am bent over the Jacuzzi tub rinsing these Minnie mouse panties out. Using Green Tea shampoo, which has a very strong mint aroma, to wash these panties out and puking. While my hubby stands at the doorway staring at me.)

I think my little even came to say sorry…

Now a week ago I was very upset, but today I am laughing. Did I really want to make a point that bad? Of course because most days I only see the small picture…That in the moment picture…

What is your worst potty training moment?

Stay tuned for more funny...

Life is an adventure: Things they dont prepare you for.. Mom style

They day i turned 23 is the day I got pregnant! Yeppers, on my birthday. One heck of a birthday gift from my then boyfriend, now hubby.

If you read my first blog post on " Life is an adventure, come take a walk with me." you would know that I got married at 8 months pregnant. Something you might not know is that two things stand out from that day... 

1. I forgot to invite my brother Mike and his wife Linda, who was due that month...

We got married May 6th and they had their little girl two weeks later.

Yeah that conversation went something like this.

Mom "Jamie where is your brother?"

Jamie "Yummm, yeah let me call him."

Jamie, " Hey Mickey, whacha doing?"

Mike, "Nothing sitting at home, whats up?"

Jamie, "So I am getting married."

Mike, "Thats great, when?"

Jamie, " As soon as you can get here."

Mike, "Well let me get Linda."

Mind you, Linda was at her, I am going to get my first massage ever before I go into labor.

Yes, they made it.

2. There was sweat dripping off my butt.

I am always cold. It is 100 degrees out side right now and I am curled up with a hiding from the AC, that my husband HAS to have on... 

They DO NOT prepare you for HOW hot you are always going to feel being pregers. 

They DO NOT prepare you for how things can go wrong in the delivery room. I was in labor for 36 hours and had to have an emergency c-section. I was devastated and my birthing plan went out the window. 

They DO NOT prepare you for things like the BABY (aka tiny noise maker) is going to POOP on you or how it will be the first time you've been out of the house since tiny noise maker came along.

BUT MOSTLY!!!

They tell you, but they do not prepare you for what joy and love you will experience with your baby.

What is your mommy OMGosh they didnt prepare me for this moment?

Stay tuned for more funny...
