So the current things that are turning my world upside down: Trying to potty train my 2 year old, trying to make something out of my interest of 'crafting', and the biggie of my husband leaving for Boot Camp for the Air force in a little over 2 months. :o(
Ok, so the potty training. We, er I, have been working with Devon on and off for a few months but over the past week i have really been on him and with some pretty good progress. Late last week we would go through the afternoon with 3 wet pairs of underpants and today, so far at 12:45 in the afternoon, we have zero. Doodle is a smart cookie and understands what he needs to do, and actually does it all by himself some times, he is just so worried about missing something and forgets to go. We are making progress so no complaints...its just a lot of work to make sure i ask him every 30-60 min. with any luck we will be potty trained before hes 3 (T minus 9 months.)
Annnd my creations! After the wedding i knew there would be a bit of a void since all my projects were wedding based. My wonderful photographer suggested starting an Etsy store for my projects because she thought they were worth sharing and possibly making some extra moola. Soo i did. So far i have some wedding accessories, candles and some baby blankies in my store. I have made 3 sales and only one of them were from my Etsy Store. Trust me i understand i'm not going to make millions from my goodies, but i feel like i'm putting more effort than its worth. I'm having fun making all this stuff, but im running out of space for it and if no one is going to buy it what the heck is the point?! On the plus side most of the stuff i can use...if no one buys the candles i will enjoy each one of them myself, and im starting to get into bath and body products so i will pamper my self with my goodies and probably end up paying far less than if i bought everything at a store. :o)
My major stressor. Something i never really envisioned would happen. After years of trial and error with past relationships i never thought i would have to spend extended periods of time away from the man i want to spend my life with! Laz is my best friend, my rock and i don't know how i'm going to fare with out him around. He has talked about enlisting into the air force since his education at Drexel didn't really work out but it never happened because we needed to wait until after we were married to make sure we all were taken care of while Daddy was gone. So we were Married July 3rd and the following week he had a meeting with his recruiter and now he has an official basic training date of November 8th. :o(( There are mixed feelings that come along with all of this. I mean this is the beginning of something that can be fun and exciting. I think i would be more accepting if we didn't already have a 2 year old and i didn't desperately want another baby. Our current situation allows for much needed breaks away from Devon every now and then and gives him a little variety in his life. He is a VERY smart little man and i truly believe his grandparents have helped him develop. I guess in a way i'm scared that i wont be able to handle everything by myself...i have always been the type of person that doesn't do well alone so the thought of the possibility of Laz leaving for months at a time has me pretty depressed and i feel like i'm more on edge than normal. :o( I suppose i should try my best to move on and accept that a lot will change over the next few months and it will probably get harder before it gets easier.
