So I'm sitting Chris' band room office, killing time by bombarding LJ with my comments on other people's journals, and now it's time to post in mine

Poor Zach. I don't suppose you can get more fiber down him to make things....easier....when he's on the potty?
I was just thinking of Chicago today. My winter coats consist of (1) a leather hip-length jacket (2) a leather ankle length coat.
Leather is cool but it's not warm.
Which means I dress warmly underneath it, or get a warmer coat. Or actually both. I'm okay with cold but Chicago cold is COLD. Since I'm moving to DC I'll get use out of another coat.
Gack. A shock to the system my Discover card didn't really need.
Well, I managed to survive a few (three) winters without a real winter coat, so if you bundle up underneath and add good mittens/scarf/hat, you might be okay. I'm just sayin'. Money might be better spent on making sure you have cozy sweaters and such, which will be worn both outside and in.
Still, I have noticed that folks from more southerly climes are more sensitive to cold, so it's possible you might want a nice cozy coat. Dunno. Do they *sell* coats in Texas? ::g::

I do have good sweaters. I'm fine there. I'm good on scarves. I've got a good hat that makes me look like Meldrick Lewis from 'Homicide' only I'm a woman and Anglo and not nearly as cool as Meldrick. Maybe my gloves could stand improvement. But a coat really is called for, I think. But my leather coat is SO the bomb. Actually both of them are, but the duster coat is just...sheeit, I'm cool in it. We'll see.
Did I hear right that it snowed up there yesterday? Jeeze. You people. Showoffs.

You Nawthun people fricking up and die if it gets over 85 degrees. I don't enjoy it but I can survive. So there. :::::phbpbphtpthpbhpbhphtphthphbphttttt::::::
Kelly, as the parent of a child with chronic encopresis, I've got one word for you. MIRALAX. Christ that stuff is a miracle. Also, do some web research on dealing with encopresis. It's incredibly common among boys. Hope you continue on your road to recovery!
On a more positive note, I made good use of very naughty underwear purchased (of all places) at Sears. ::evil shit-eating grin:: There. 'Nuff said on that subject.
Okay, that's it, we're doing a Victoria's Secret drive for *your* birthday, next. Egads, woman, get some standards. SEARS?
Zach's troubles puzzle me, but then again, I can remember very well being small and living mostly in my own head, where the explanations of grown-ups mattered very little and attentions paid to the things I did wrong seemed horribly shameful and embarrassing. Poop problems would fit that category, I'd think.
The diet suggestion sounds very good. Very good indeed. Also-- and lord knows, you guys have probably already thought about this--maybe a book on the subject, not for you, but for Zach? (I at this point am feeling very dumb about giving parental advice, since I know zilch, but what the hell.) There are a couple out that I know of: The Scoop On Poop and Everyone Poops (that second may be slightly too young for a 5-year-old, but worth a

Ooooh, that better not be *me* K.
'Cause all these "missing you too, Kelly" thoughts I'm having will be history. Gone. Poof.
Wishing your cold on a friend. Oooooh, that's just cruel.
And prolly why I like you. *g*
