Yes, I'm still alive.

To my readers, I'm sorry for the lack of updates and the sporadic once every few days random post on the message board. I'd love to say that it's going to get back to normal soon -- but that would be SO far from the truth. I still have not found my "working-person/mommy/wife" groove. I've really just about decided that there is no groove, and that

((HUGS)) Misty You sure have a lot on your plate. I do have one suggestion for you. Stop cleaning up his poop. Make HIM do it. Yes it's dirty and nasty, but let him know that and supervise him cleaning up his mess. He sees you doing it and it doesn't phase him because he knows you'll clean it up.

FYI, Marshall wears pull ups, and I'm lucky if he will use the potty by force once or twice a day.

In your post, I was happy to see that you are seeing some positive in your life...I feel for you.

I agree with HallieJo's suggestion..let him clean his own underwear for a while. Don't give up on him, he will eventually go to the bathroom without any issues. I promise ;) I have been there and done that.

I'm a week late, but hopefully you won't hold it against me. ;)

I'm glad you all enjoyed the 4th at James River. One of these years I'd really like to get down there too. Deacon sounds like he had a blast.

Yay for a new truck! That's awesome.

Hopefully in time, the potty issue with Deacon will get resolved. I'm absolutely no help b/c I can't even remember if I've taken a shower most days, much less how on earth my kid's were potty trained. I could refer you to my MIL, since she's the one who takes the initiative with potty-training when it comes to my kids. I do have faith though that he won't be going to Kindergarten not potty-trained. :)

Girl, I miss you being around. I know this is what life has for you right now, but I still wish you were around. Just wanted you to know that someone over West of you, is thinking about you!
