Washington, Here we come!

The decision has been made. We are packing as I type (trust me it's very difficult) and we're hoping to be packing the truck up on Friday and leave for Puyallup, WA on Saturday. We just need to find more boxes. We'll take a few days to make the trip so Breanne and I don't go crazy riding in the car together. Her and I are nor the best of traveling buddies, especially now that I'm 8 months pregnant and can't turn around to the backseat as well as I use to. She probably a very confused child. This will be our 5th move since she's been born. Wow, thats really impressive. I hadn't even realized how many until just now. (Crossing our fingers) this will hopefully be the last state move. We'll try and keep all move within the state of WA from here on out. Packing sucks, but so far it's all going pretty smoothly.

Decisions, Desicions.....

So we're down in AZ, as many of you already know, going to flight school that costs a pretty penny. Like this penny is made of gold or something, I dunno. But anyway, it's extremely hot here right now and Cameron flies in these planes that don't have any kind of air in them whatsoever. he's been getting really sick from the heat (it gets upwards of 130 degrees in the plane) feeling nauseous and stuff. In short he hasn't been able to fly the plane all that well because he's feeling so ill. He has to be able to pass a checkride on Monday and doesn't know if he'll be able to do it. The checkrides also cost a pretty penny and if he doesn't pass he forfeits the money he paid. Okay to make a long story not so long, he's thinking about dropping out of school here and going to school in WA. This decision has to be made in the next few hours because every flight that he takes from here on out cost us $800! the schools in WA are cheaper and they "say" that they can get him through as fast as he wants to go, but it's scary! We JUST moved here! BUT......the upside is that it would save us $20,000 (yes that's $20,000 not a type-o) to move even after moving expenses and the fees that the school would charge for dropping out and paying an extra months worth of rent to get out of our contract. We would live with my mom so we'd have free rent, the baby would be born in WA too which means that my mom wouldn't have to worry about trying to figure out when she needed to fly out, and we wouldn't have to worry about who was going to watch Breanne if my mom happened to not be here....so many things would be solved....but is it the right thing to do......hopefully we'll find that out in the next few hours. Pray for us....we'll need it!!!

Potty Training. What is the point of it all?

So Breanne turned two in may and I've been thinking that it's about time she got out of diapers. She, apparently, has other plans. But as I thought about why she should want to be potty trained I find myself siding with her. Why in the world would a small child want to take time out of their "busy" day and run to the bathroom every 20-30 mins. I have to go to the bathroom every hour, atleast, and I find that burdensome. It's going better then it ever has, as far as the potty training goes, but she still isn't sold on the idea. I guess I'm not really either otherwise I'd be more firm in my efforts. I bought her "big girl underwear" and put that on her thinking that she'd realize that wetting your pants is no fun. Yeah, that didn't seem to hit her. In the first 5 mins of having the underwear on she pooped in it and didn't even care. The only reason I found out was the smell. Luckily she hadn't sat down...eww. After that I just let her run naked all day. That went better. Then later in the afternoon we tried the underwear again. She peed on the carpet, and again, didn't say a word. She rubbed up against me and I felt something wet. Oh my goodness! How do you not care that your walking around with we saggy underwear? Oh well, she'll come around some day. Probably not before her sister comes, but when you're changing that many diapers for a newborn what's one more.....right? We'll keep trying but for the most part I'll just let her decided when she wants to abandon the diapers. Unless she decides she wants to wait until she's 3 or 4 or 20. That's where I'll draw the line...
