1. Husband starts his new job today. And I'm scared out of my mind. I don't know why. I guess it's just because things are changing. Again. I feel like we've been in a constant state of flux since Carolyn was born. I just want things to even out so I know what to expect. It's all the guessing that kills me.
2. Speaking of guessing, I just found out one of my massage client's paperwork is all messed up. Apparently until it's straightened out at the end of next month (that's right! It takes Medicaid one entire month to straighten things out), I won't be able to see her at all. I usually see her three times a week. That means that half of my income for the next month has effectively gone down the drain. Just when I thought that my job was the one steady thing we had!
3. Carolyn pooped on me today. I thought she was done, so I took her diaper off and brought her in the shower with me. Well, apparently she wasn't done. Then, in a fit of stupidity, I left the poopy diaper on the floor outside the bathroom. Carolyn got out of the shower before me, ran for it, and shook everything out of the diaper before I could get to her. How is it that we've gone 15 months without a poop incident and we have two in a matter of three days?
4. Shannon and I have just finished week three of the C25K program. Good gosh, but it's not getting any easier. It didn't help anything that it was muggy enough today to be able to drink the air except the mosquitoes were so thick, you'd have to strain it through your teeth.
5. As I was typing this just now, Carolyn leaned over and puked on my feet. Awesome.
6. At church yesterday, they said they are planning on 300 people at the ward Halloween party next Saturday. Three-bloody-hundred. That means you've got to count on at least 150 kids for the trunk-or-treat, right? I thought I was overbuying when I bought candy for 60. And I was excited because I was sure there'd be so many leftovers.
7. I bought Carolyn a little trick-or-treating pumpkin last week. I've been trying to teach her to say "trick-or-treat" and hold out her bucket ever since, but she won't do it.
8. I'm thinking about selling out dining room table. The only thing we use it for is to stack stuff on. And, we need more room in this house!
9. Up until last week, Carolyn was fine with me brushing her teeth. But since Saturday, she whips her head back and forth and screams bloody murder. Any ideas on how to break her of that?
10. The very worst thing about Husband going back to work is that I can no longer commandeer his car. I've loved driving it - XM radio, good air conditioning, and power locks! Now I have to go back to my crappy, low power car.

Teeth brushing: it now has to become a game. The easiest way is to make her giggle. My kids like it when I pretend to brush their nose, ears, chin, etc.
Talk about getting the sugar bugs off her teeth. "Oh look! There's a big one, right back there!"
At some point you may have to put up with her brushing your teeth while you do hers. This is a last resort!
I can totally relate to the poop stuff. Mine pooped on the floor yesterday. I found it with my bare foot. Yeah. It was special.
Shoot, bring candy for 30...then when you run out you can just people watch without the distraction of giving away all your candy.
Your kid's playing with the poop; another friend's 2 year-old refuses to go poop AT ALL. To paraphrase a good band and show my invisible age-wrinkles: "Everybody poops, soooome times."
I love reading your blog...it always makes me laugh. ;-) My mom and Duane said they had a nice visit with your Mom last week and that she seems really happy. Duane says he misses teasing you. ;-) I love that guy and I'm so grateful he is apart of our family.
