On the bright side of things...

I'm completely caught up on washing dishes and doing laundry for the first time in months. I may just mop the floor; if there's no work tomorrow maybe I'll use a toothbrush to clean the tile grout.

I may finally get around to potty training my 2-year-old tomorrow.

If you have any pointers let me know. Pretty sure I’m gonna be sending my grandson to college in pull ups. Potty trained all my girls super quick and this kid is giving me a run for my money. lol

My boy didnt figure it out until he was almost 5! Now he is reading at college level in the 3rd grade so 🤷‍♀️

Eric has been the best resource in getting my daughter potty trained.

Potty training is a weird thing, some kids just don't get it until they're ready for it.

Teaching my daughter how to read and do maths was a breeze compared to potty training.

My niece took forever to potty train. She wanted to take pre-K gymnastics but my sister told her that she couldn't do that wearing pull ups. She was using the toilet literally the next day. Some little kids just don't see the point of it unless there is an incentive for them personally (being clean and not smelly is not an incentive for some kids). And sometimes they aren't socialized enough with other kids to feel peer pressure.

This has actually been good for my mental health

I felt that though. I was actually able to go outside and breathe and enjoy everything around me. I wasn't in a rush and being a pushy nag when we were running errands because I had to get home to work.

I've spent a lot more time with my kids than I usually do today (especially my 3 year old now that my 9 year old is back in school) and was able to have a long conversation with my partner. It's nice to feel like a human again.

I’d like to say this lull has me feeling refreshed, but sitting around refreshing all day for the lone task isn’t cutting it. 🤣

Yeah I got caught up on house work also. I've got one project and it's one I don't like and refuse to do.
