I'm tired. So tired. I just want to cry myself to sleep...

Okay, maybe not that tired, but close.

But at least I have a considerate son. This morning, I guess I was too slow getting him breakfast, so he grabbed the full bag of raisin bran off the table (where DH had left it), poured three quarters of it onto the floor, and promptly started snacking.

I had been pouring milk into his bowl when he'd done that, otherwise I might have kept it down to only a quarter of the bag.

Fortunately, the floor is on the cleaner side of the spectrum, so I scooped up most of the cereal and put it back in the bag, (passive-aggressively thinking that at least I don't eat the stuff, and if any hair or dirt is in there, it's DH's own fault.) then vaccuumed the smaller bits up while Babe was eating.

Babe watched the entire process, and, when I was a bit slow getting him a snack later on, he grabbed the bag of cereal off the table again (no, I didn't learn from Hubby's mistake) but instead of pouring it onto the floor, he reached in and grabbed handfuls from which he ate.

As I said, a very considerate boy. He also helps put away the silverware. Very helpful.


In no particular order:

1. Sand down black mark DH made on (newly finished) counter, and refinish the counter with resin. Or make DH do it, since he was the one who ruined it.

2. Read up more seriously on potty training.

3. Prepare garden bed for lavender. Plant and transplant plants. Prepare beds for winter.

4. Make apple pie. And applesauce. And apple cake. And...

5. Make bed.

6. Go to choir practice tonight.

7. Finish ledges.

8. Paint trim

9. Start (and finish?) "Rocks"

10. Work on exchange piece.

11. Answer reviews.

12. Decide between nap and caffeine for today.

13. Call sister and claim tickets, then send out email to all and sundry begging for use of a car.

14. Organize closets.

15. MAKE DH GET THAT NEW COMPUTER HOOKED UP, godammit!!!

16. Laundry

17. Prepare lamb shanks for tonight.

Ah yes, potty training. I used to have potty training on my resume when I was still working childcare. I went through the process with two little boys, which is not to say I can offer any tips.

I think potty training could be good to have on a resume in the publishing industry as well. After all, you do deal with so much crap... XD

Actually, I think you'll find it's a lot like Babe w/ the cereal box. He'll figure a lot of it out on his own with your encouragement.
