Update on the PT

Well, I don't know why I'm updating since it really hasn't changed much from the last post but I felt like getting on here. Sam did really good during last weekend. I almost had a heart attack when I heard about her using the big potty without even telling anyone! Maybe she needs to stay over there or something, ha ha. She still has some accidents but she goes on the potty also and I am amazed every time she does it.

My DH has been working really long hours lately and has had to stay on the ship the past 2 nights. we miss him and I am sure he misses us too. I'm hoping he'll get a break from his inspections today and get to come home--or at least come home before 8PM.

My parents are in town and anxious to see the kids. Sam cannot wait to see grandma & grandpa, she's been talking about it for almost a week now! My stepson's last day of school is today so he's pretty happy as you can imagine!

That's about all that's happening around here, nothing too exciting which I guess is a good thing. Sam's still getting used to the new DCP. It's tough but she'll adapt I know....

ugh, potty training

is hard. Sam sorta has it down but not completely. It's a difficult process. We're working on it. She does great at DC but at home it's not as good, but not too bad either.

Who has PT suggestions? I'll take any! Thanks! :)

It's a bittersweet day....

I dropped off my Samantha this morning to the new DCP. She was the 1st one there. I'll have to make a mental note that for the next few days to drop her off a bit later so that other kids'll be there when she's there. Just until she gets used to going somewhere new.

I know I made a good decision on the DCP but it just breaks my heart all over again to "leave" her. I feel like I did when she was 2 mos. old & dropping her off for the 1st time at a DC. She didn't want me to leave and I think she didn't quite understand that that was her new DC and preschool for 5 days a week instead of going to the usual one. She's been off schedule so to say since I have been gone for almost 2months and my mom was here then my aunt then my other aunt to see to her everyday needs.

I feel bad, guilty and a little sad. I am off today but I had to take her in as I need her to start getting used to this new place (which BTW is SO clean and the DCP is so loving and great). I was supposed to have a root canal this morning but rescheduled it to next month. Seriously, I was going to get one. I finally enrolled myself in my DH's military dental program this weekend (my dental ins. pays like crap) and it'll take a couple weeks to kick in so had to reschedule it.

Guess that's about all. Here's a few pics from this weekend. Hope you like!

"Driving" Mommy's Jeep

So I decided

On a DCP finally. I had changed my mind a couple times. I am really into people who have their shit together you know? It kept nagging at me to choose this DCP who has a phenomenally clean house and preschool program but a little pricier vs. another lady who has a PS program & watches a bunch of girls (potential girly friends for S) but not as organized. It was hard to decide but I finally thought what might be best for Sam and not just what I thought about someone.

She'll start on June 8th at the new daycare. Yesterday was her last day at the old one. My aunt is still here from ID so she'll watch Sam while I'm away. My last day out here is Thursday June 4th. Its bittersweet to tell you the truth. I'll miss my friend Sara and the things I've been able to go out and do (bowling, movies, Padre game, dinners, etc..) and the companionship of another girl I work with and like (rare for me). It's been nice. She is one of the nicest people I have ever known and I am serious.

I have missed Sam so much though so it'll also be nice to go home. I had to stay out here this last weekend and I was so bored. I went to the mall (it's very very close to my hotel) and tried to kill time there. It made me sad not to have my kids w/ me though. They have a really nice carousel there and a little train that chugs around the food court and then everyone and their mom had little kids w/ them. Made me lonely. Plus, DH took the kids and his aunt to Sea World in San Diego. I was wishing I was there w/ them but I had to stay out here in case "something" came up for work. That "something" never did. What a waste. I pretty much knew nothing would be going on, but you never know. I don't want to get in trouble in case something happened and I am 2 hrs. or more away.

On a lighter note however, I took myself to the movies here on Sunday and saw Terminator/Salvation. Wow, it was great and there are 2 HOT guys in it so I wasn't complaining. Going to the movies by myself was a new experience and not a bad thing really. I'd do it again. I also did a little shopping since I had nothing better to do. Never knew the Disney store could be so much fun to shop at when you have kids. I like Disney but am not a fanatic or anything. Having kids makes it way more fun though. Got some PJ's and some character plates and bowls for Sam. She'll love them.

Well, guess that's about all that's going on here. Have a great day everyone!
