She Did It!

Yup, I'm sure you are all soooo interested to know that Abi pee-peed in the potty yesterday. She was pretty excited and we gave her lots of praise. No, we're not really potty-training yet. We're just getting her used to it and helping her understand the concept. It would be awesome if she was potty-trained before the baby comes but it us up to her. She's been initiating it the last few days and yesterday she was successful. Anyway, that is what is up in our neck of the woods.
(oh, and I had a talk with one of the dogs yesterday. Yup, I went and talked directly to it. I asked it to not bark all night and morning. It obeyed. At least this once. We'll see if it continues. :) )

Disclaimer

Ok, ok, before anyone else thinks I'm an animal or dog hater I'm not. If you read the next post and you don't really know me you may take me seriously. I'm not really being serious. I'm just pregnant and tired and one of the dogs in my neighborhood caused me to lose a few precious hours of sleep. I actually would love to have a dog. However, with a baby on the way that we can't even afford, how could we afford to properly take care of a dog--let alone pay for the initial cost. I believe dogs do need training and there is no way we could afford it. I would love for Abi to have a cute little puppy to roll around and play with.
Anyway, so in future posts---don't always take me seriously because I'm often not.

I'm Pregnant--I get to.

So why in the world do people who live in suburbia have dogs??? Dogs need room to run and play like a big field in the country-- not tiny enclosures. They need to be separated from other dogs so they don't sit and bark at each other all night & morning long--don't their owners lose sleep from this incessant barking? AND they need to not coax my daughter up to the fence until she is two feet away only to bark hysterically at her and make her bawl. Goodness. I like dogs but I would never have dogs here for my neighbors sake.

A Poem for my Readers

Goodbye my favorite jeans.
Goodbye my favorite shirts.
I've gained a little weight
and now my tummy hurts.

I've made a resolution
to get rid of excess weight
I'm afraid though I have a condition.
My resolution will have to wait.

I plan to loose 40 pounds
in October or November maybe.
How can I loose it so quickly?
Just wait and you'll see.

In January I took a pill of sorts
That Richard gave go me.
Since then my belly has grown daily
and that's how it's supposed to be.

If you're not the smartest lampost
along the winding street,
let me tell you plainly
there's a baby in me with cute little feet.
