Top Ten {Tuesday}: MONDAY

by oh amanda on November 1, 2010

in me,top ten tuesday

This was my day yesterday…

1. After a week of not even trying to get up early, I woke up at 6:05 and walked through the neighborhood. But it was so cold, I was only outside for like 20 minutes. Afterward, I went into my closet to read my Bible and write, but couldn’t find a pencil. (Big surprise being that I was in my CLOSET.)

3. When Asa woke up I told him today was the day: POTTY TRAINING.

4. He decided he didn’t want to wear Buzz Lightyear underwear. Or Mickey Mouse. So, he went underoo-less.

5. 30 minutes into potty training, my husband tells me I need to take the car to his office to meet a guy who is going to replace my windshield because when Jill was in Atlanta for the Once a Month Mom tweetup, a boulder hit my windshield and cracked it and I had to get it replaced at the same time my husband was getting his 2 work trucks windshields replaced but when I got there the guy never showed so the kids and I hung out with my father-in-law at the office for an hour and the guy who owns the windshield company finally told me they would send the guys to my house instead.

6. Since we missed a whole half day of potty training I decide to take the kids to Babies R Us and buy a little potty for Asa. He wasn’t digging the climb up to the big potty.

7. We came home and I laid the kids down for naps promising them we could look at the new potty when they woke up–that’s how exciting it gets around here.

8. They were awakened when the windshield guy rang the doorbell. He fixed my windshield in less than 15 minutes while the kids watched through the front windows.

9. Finally, it was time to open the potty. Then I had to tweet this:

@oohamanda

10. So, we went back to Babies R Us with our new windshield.

I know. I just kept staring at that receipt and toy with bewilderment. It was just creepy—and the receipt had some handwritten Japanese on the back AND a smiley face. WEIRD.

OH MY WORD! (<–in response to the potty) That is just truly bizarre. And incidentally, pretty good blog fodder. ;D Here's hoping your Tuesday is the best kind of boring!

Maybe the last recipient of the potty was leaving the toy as a potty training reward? Yeah, that’s pretty gross. Here’s to hoping you have a successful day of training at home with a few less interruptions!

What an ending to your Top Ten! Why not email Babies R Us and let them know about the “quality” they are selling? Maybe you’ll get some coupons at least or they will make you their blogger.
Can’t wait to hear more about your potty training adventures! I’ve trained two girls and am a little nervous about training my baby boy who turns two in Feb. The girls were easy!

I am laughing so hard right now! and thinking my trip to Walmart with 4 kids, three of whom spent the entire time singing “We are Family” at the top of their lungs, was really not that bad. Hope today was better. Please figure out how to potty train a boy for me and share the knowledge.
