Is Landry a cat?

Yesterday marked four days in a row that Landry peed in the potty. YAY! While this is very exciting, I must say that she has only done it 6 times in four days. Once on Sunday, twice on Monday, twice on Tuesday, and once last night (wednesday). I am very proud of her because, the more she uses the potty, even if it is just once or twice a day, the more she gets used to the concept, and pretty soon, she will be using it regularly. The problem is that she obviously pees more than 6 times in four days. Now, some of these times have been in a diaper...I put one one her at night and at nap time, and anytime we have to leave the house...I am totally not risking an accident in her pants in public until she gets better at the process. So where is the rest of her pee going? Yes, well if you have read my blog then you know...ALL OVER THE HOUSE! I will give her credit for at least finding places that hold urine, but her action remind me of a pissed off cat. She peed in my shoe for crying out loud. She literally squatted over the shoe and peed INSIDE of it. Once again, credit for creativity, it does in fact have a hole at the top like a potty does...but a shoe??? really??? ughh! At least she isn't peeing on the floor - this was JR's comment. Very true! Always looking on the bright side. Today, I am looking for another twice-a-day, day. Fingers crossed...I know it would be a little much to ask for three times, or even (gasp) it just clicking and her usinng the potty every time!!! LOL Maybe by tomorrow she will use it 3 times?!!? I can hope. Either way, I am really proud of her. At least she is using it at least once each day, and I know that is really good progress!

After taking Logan to school today, I went by the house...wait for it.....the cabinets are going up today! YAY! They should be finished by tomorrow, so that is really exciting. What was the hold up, you ask? Duh, I totally forgot that after taping and floating and sanding the dry wall they had to have texture! DUH, again. They did look pretty funny, and not that the texture is on, they actually look like real walls! Whew!

We filed our income tax return, and are very excited that we should be receiving it in 1-2 weeks. One MAJOR thing we have to pay off....my speeding tickets. Oops! I received a letter notifying me that due to unpaid tickets in 2001 (yes, you read that correctly - 11 year old speeding tickets) my license has been revoked. So, $1500 for unpaid tickets, then more money to get my license reinstated! Crap! Why did it take so long...dont ask me, I forgot all about them...I mean seriously I was 17 - 18 years old when I got them! Anyway, now that I am going to have to renew my license anyway, I figure I might as well take the extra step and finally change my name legally. I mean, JR and I have been married for nearly 3 years (March 17), I guess its time to take care of that! LOL - Can you tell that I procrastinate alot!? Due to this little hiccup, we may have to put off getting a new bedroom set for the master...:( so sad, I was really looking forward to a king size bed. Hopefully, we can still do it considering we should be saving money while living with my parents in March - which I still have `to talk to them about! I really have to stop putting things off!

I am hoping that nothing else will pop up on us. As of now, pretty much all of our savings is going towards the closing of the house, the income tax return is going towards my tickets and more stuff for the house - and perhaps the cruise, unless we decide to gift it to my parents, which we will probably have to do because I doubt we will have the money. The big ticket items on our list right now...wood floors for the house, 60" LED TV, paint for the WHOLE house, my tickets, my camera, JR's tools, Logan's DS, King size bedroom set (bed, mattress, night stand, dresser, etc.), and I was hoping for a bedroom set for Landry. She may get the full bed that is in our guest room now, but I was hoping to get her a day bed - JR didn't know what this was...so, a day bed is basically a twin size bed that is horizontal in design. Basically, it is usually surrounded on three sides, the head, foot, and back of the bed. Some, but not all, have a trundle bed that slides under it. Anyway...we will have to see! I am hoping to be able to purchase everything, but obviously we may not be able to do that. Oh and bar stools. we were hoping to buy a counter height dining room table, but, for now, we are going to sand, refinish and paint the table we have now, and maybe try to buy 2 extra chairs and somehow either find the leaf or purchase a new one for the one that is missing on our table! I still need to make a decision on when to have Logan's birthday party..I dont want to send invites out too late, but I am hoping to know more by then end of February.

As you can see, there is a lot going on in our near future...I am starting to look forward to summer, when we can be settled in! LOL
