Bad Blogger

I've been a baaaaad blogger. I sometimes forget that I even have a blog since I spend too much time on facebook...oops. Sorry!

Much has happened this late summer/early fall. For starters, T started "school" last week! I say "school" since it is really daycare but don't tell her that ;)
The clinic I work for is now 24hr, so I had the opportunity to work some day shifts...which I took, even though I love being a pseudo-SAHM, because we are broke. But I digress...the program I entered her in is fabulous and extremely diverse in both students and staff, but most importantly, T LOVES it. She had a blast and can't wait to go back.

We are also completely potty trained and have been for 5 months. She still wears a pull-up at night but that's no big deal.....Speaking of nighttime...we have had some major issues. For the past 2 months or so, T has been sleeping with us, or mostly me since Ryan travels during the week. I know it's all my doing but now I'm trying to un-do it and it sucks. I was actually going to start "sleep training" her tonight but she came down with her first daycare cold and it's probably best to wait until she's not so under the weather. I'll keep you updated on my lack of sleep......

Three Days For Three Daughters

Tomorrow I give up coffee for 3 days.
3 days to represent 3 mothers in Guatemala and 3 daughters living somewhere else.
3 days to represent countless mothers and children throughout the world.
3 days because this has to stop.

*I know, I know. Coffee is nothing. I would fast completely but I can't. I don't have the willpower or body reserves for something like that but coffee is dear to me and it will be hard.
Very hard.

*Sigh*

So, we arrive at a very large local park that has, quite possibly, the worlds largest sandbox. It is filled with buckets and shovels, as well as all sorts of cool water things. The sandbox is filled with kids of varying ages, most are white, none are black. Tiny walks in, I take off her shoes and sit down. She is not 2 steps from me when a woman sitting 10 feet from me looks at T, looks down at her daughter and back at T. She then says very loudly in an almost frantic voice "Anna, hurry up and grab your shovel! You don't want someone else to play with it!!"
All the while looking at my kid, who by the way, was heading in the other direction and totally not interested in her kid or the shovel.

Grrrrrr......

What, if anything, would you have done?
