YEAH for Natalie!

So surprisingly potty training has gone quite well...so far yesterday and today have been accident FREE. She's been the most successful potty trainee I've had! Even being proactive about telling me that she needs to go...and going into the bathroom by herself...telling me to "wait here"

Although we're only successful so far with the pee...she waits to take care of other business when I put her diaper on  for naps.  But still...we're doing good! We'll see how we do tomorrow when I need to run errands and tomorrow night when we have to go to a hockey game. THAT should be interesting...then of course there's church on Sunday. Maybe I shouldn't get too excited.

Here's one of about 10 DARLING pics I just took...still proofing more... and in other news....the gym finally opened. It's been open since Monday but I just went for the first time this morning because the girls didn't have school today. I'm trying to ease myself into the 5:15 wake up call I'm going to have to go through in order to get my work outs in....I've been working out in the basement for the past few weeks. But yes, after this morning...I'm sore. And it's only going to get worse.

Hi Brandi - My name is Angela and I live in Christchurch, New Zealand. I have just started reading your blog and going back over your previous posts discovered the jobs to do list and offer of a copy of your organising calendar - I would love a copy please. I feel a lot like you, I love everything to be neat and tidy and when I have the energy I'm busy creating and life is fabulous and then I get tired and grumpy and everything feels too much. I need balance too.

Keep up the blogging you really are totally inspirational.

I did try emailing you but it rejected my email! My email address is [email protected] - thanks.

Thanks so much Angela!!! You're awesome for posting and letting me know. I sent you an e-mail...let me know if you don't get it.

Thanks so much for replying, I was so thrilled to see your
email this morning. Thanks for the list. I couldn't open up
the calendar but will get my DH to have a look at it for me.
The list and what you said about it was very similar to one
I have, made me feel on the right track!

Good on you for cleaning the garage I bet you feel a lot
better about it now.

I'm trying to implement and stick to a plan of
"spring-cleaning" one room a month, that way I don't have to
do it all at once - of course it is now February and I
haven't done a single room! My girls have just gone back to
school and kindy after an almost 7 week summer break so I am
only starting my second full week today, it takes a while to
get back into it.

Thanks again it was lovely to hear from you - Angela
