Diaper issues

Well, I'm missin' my job and my students like crazy! It's weird not going to work. Sometimes I just wanna go, but I can't. lol Things have really changed down there, though, and not for the good, so it's for the best. I actually got an email from two different students yesterday, so that was a nice surprise. :)

Sean's gone to Arizona for work. He left yesterday. He'll be gone till Friday. They already want him to go to Oklahoma in two weeks. Wish it was more pay, but at least he's getting spoiled when he goes and he's having fun and getting a break. It's always good for us, too, and we're closer than ever when he comes back. He actually called and talked to me for an hour yesterday! It was nice. He says he wishes I were there with him. We still haven't decided where we're going for our anniversary. We've never been away from the kids. Mom's coming to watch them for a few days so we can go somewhere, so we want to make it somewhere special. There are WAY too many places to choose from! I'm welcoming any suggestions... This will be our first anniversary without kids, and it's our fifth. :)

My sister's going to Mexico for her anniversary and leaving tomorrow. Mom's coming up to watch her kids for 5 days while they're gone. Will be good to see her, so we're excited. We won't see her much, cause she'll be at my sister's, but we'll get to see her for a day or two, maybe.

I should be working on a report about the blood flow in the body and bi-pass surgeries, but I can't concentrate with the boys up and into everything. They're very needy today and Damen's super beyond whiney and grumpy. Zane's just a crackhead. I really wish they'd take a nap so I could get this done. I can't work on it at night 'cause they're up forever at night when Sean's gone; think they're insecure.

The weather's so nice today! It's 70 degrees outside and barely breezy; feels really nice. I could actually wear shorts if I wanted. I'm lovin' it! My flowers are starting to come up in the yard, too. Can't wait to see them all over the yard, and to plant my garden, too. :) I'm also excited for my fruit trees to produce, so that we can have fresh fruit and homemade jam again. I'm thinking about taking up running, but haven't forced myself to get that motivated just yet. I exercise in the shower everyday and chasing the boys around. I'm not sure I'm up for anything more yet. hahaha

I painted the entire upstairs this week. Yesterday I did the hallway and the living room. I love it; it gives it a personal touch and makes it really feel like our home. I painted all of the boys' rooms, too. I have yet to do our room and bathroom and the hallway downstairs. Maybe in a week or two. Sean still has to do the trim in the whole house. We're refinancing (or trying to), and having the appraisal done in a week. Be glad when that whole mess is over and behind us; it's so long and drawn out and a pain in the butt!

Zane won't quit taking his diaper off. I hate this stage. He doesn't quite get the concept of going potty. He'll sit on the toilet but only for about five seconds and then pretends to wipe and gets up. He never goes in the potty chair or even realizes that he's supposed to, I don't think. He wants his diaper off but the kid's too busy and active to sit on the pot long enough to go! It's making me crazy. It's a never ending battle with him to keep his diaper on. Even with clothes on; he just takes them off.

Well, I have to get. He's taken his diaper off four times while I've been writing this. I'm just wanting a break. I'm so sleepy; was up till 2 and had to get up at 6 to get the boys ready for school. I'm too sleepy to have the energy to chase the kid today. He's way too busy, always, esp when he's sleepy. I just want to get this report whipped out and finish cleaning and relax. That's what I get for wanting, huh? Okay, I'll post more later....
