When it Rains, it Pours

That's how I feel today or more like this week. Potty training isn't for the weak or the weary! I started Maddie on the potty and JJ wants to go as well, which is good. I am glad JJ is finally taking initiative. But Maddie is starting to not get so excited about it anymore. Yesterday, there were so many accidents I stopped counting. One 10 minute segment of my life consisted of feeding Zach. During this time I asked Maddie to get the eggs out for the brownies we would soon be baking. She brought them to me like a good girl and "set" them down on the floor. But the term I would like to use or the one that would better describe the action would be smash. So now I have a baby attached to me and egg in my carpet. Upon which time Maddie announces she has pee and poo in her undies. After getting Zach content, I take her to the bathroom. After inspection I declare it is bath time. Back to the egg mess. Oh, wait Maddie is now washing her own hair and has soap in her eyes, hence the screaming in the bathroom. And later in the day she decided to get out the milk and orange juice and make a cocktail for herself which means that most of it ended up on the rug in the kitchen, not the tile of course! So after all of this wonderful day I am going to invest in a new Bissell spot remover because the one we currently own leaks. I have to clean up after the cleaner :) I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a new one in the Sunday paper! And I will be thankful when John comes home on Sunday!

(I like how you called Maddie's drink mixing a cocktail!"
