Another BIG FAT ZERO for me today!!  I will use my usual Tuesday excuse of YW.  It is causing me some major stress and  a run would probably do me good to work some of it out.  However, my husband is working on finishing our basement and I can't get to my treadmill and with kids that's my only option right now.  I will enjoy the day off and tomorrow we are going up to the oval in the morning so I will get to run with great company and a warm environment.

No excuses needed, a day off is definitely deserved. Hope YW comes through all right. I watched my mom handle that job for a couple of years and now I admire anyone who tackles it.

That happens sometimes. Runing with little kids is always a best-effort dealio.

Isn't remodeling a pain? You can't access you own house. At the moment one of my bathrooms is completely torn apart. Why did we decide to do that at the same time as potty training our youngest? Saddism, I guess.

Bethany -

Thanks for the encouragement with YW - it is needed and much appreciated.

Lybi -

Potty training....any suggestions??? My boys have NO interest, but the mom is desperate!

Thanks again for all your help. I will be off Thursday and Friday afternoons if you want to get together.

Jody -

Thursday I'm judging a region competition at Bountiful, so maybe Friday. Why to you have those days off? The kids were great and it was fun to spend time with them.

Jay leaves for louisiana and NM tomorrow. I am working 1/2 days on thurs and fri as long as I can figure out what to do with cam. Would you want to trade on thurs? You watch her after school till about two and then I will watch your boys for you later on?

You & me both babe (the zero today) At least you have a good excuse with the basement being under construction! Have fun at the oval tomorrow! (BTW I'm sure you are an AWESOME YW leader- pres. right?- and all the time spent working & thinking about the girls is time well spent!)

Andee--here's my suggestion on potty training: put your hubby in charge of it. Ha ha. I've always wanted to try the whole "wait until they basically turn 18 and do it on their own" approach. Let me know if that works. JK. If I had two doing it at the same time I'd use competition to sway them. I.e. I've got one cookie here, for whoever puts his ... in the toilet first. I think it is super important to not get upset when they have an accident, though. "Hooray! You made a ..." even though you are gagging on the inside.
