Ah, it feels good to be sitting in this chair, in this particular chair where I write all of my blog posts. I haven't been on the computer to just sit and relax in over a week. Sure I have my phone to check email and be able to read a blog post here and there, but it isn't the same at all.
Yesterday, as with the Tuesday two weeks ago, babyjama was driving me absolutely batshit crazy. Maybe that's not very nice to say of my offspring, but there was a short amount of time before bed last night when I thought I might scream. I didn't really know if I would be able to stop if I got started, so I reconsidered.
Babyjama has taken to urinating in inconvenient places around the house. This was the case two weeks ago, and I thought we had nipped it in the bud, but yesterday every time the phone rang she would find a spot and let loose. And I know it's on purpose. My little darling tot knows how to use the potty, and apparently she also knows exactly the spot that will make me angriest if she pees there.
I'm pretty sure that she's acting out because she needs more attention, or more stimulation, or something. I have been spending far too much time on the phone the past couple of weeks, and I am working on that. But seriously, how many more times can all of the towels in the house, and all of the bedding in the house need washing before they send me to Betty Ford?
I know it isn't just that stuff that is causing the misbehavior though. Our life is kind of upside down right now. Papajama is gone all day at work, and all evening working on the new house. I'm packing and boxing up our posessions, and we haven't gone and done anything fun during the day in quite a while. Tomorrow she will get to play with some other kids, so hopefully that will help.
Anyway, it's rough going at the moment, but surprisingly I'm feeling really chipper today. I think the weather is helping. Happy birds chirping does usually help a situation. And we're 2.5 weeks from the big move. That has to be worth something.
Happy Wednesday!
P.S. Had another prenatal appt. last week. Everything is fantastic!
Well, that’s a relief

Maybe she's marking her territory in the old house and this is her way of letting you know she's not happy about the move! :)
Haha! Approaching it with a sense of humor. I love it.
Our cat does the same thing, however always in the bathroom and always on something of mine that's fallen to the floor. DEFINITELY not the same as a child, but still frustrating!!! With little boys it was - see how far you can pee off the deck. We don't live in town though. The grass was well fertilized - hard to convince them not to do it at the park though!!!
Glad that your checkup went well.
My little Doodle was about the age of Babyjama when we made our move to NJ. She was the baby in the family with one older sister, one older brother and a baby brother on the way. I know that can be such a confusing time in the life of a little one when things are not according to schedule anymore. Doodle stopped talking and didn’t speak again until after about six months when our lives took on a little more structure. I was only 21 or 22 at the time and am amazed that I was even able to cope.
