Rain, Rain and More Rain! Seriously this years weather has been the craziest i have ever seen. We had an enormous amount of rain this past spring, heat waves this summer along with an EARTHQUAKE (that i didn't even feel for heavens sake!) a hurricane and now a fricken monsoon! Our house is not in too bad of shape but from what i'm hearing there are many road closings and flooding around town. We have happily made our camp in the house and haven't left, i'm pretty sure i'm going to have a bad case of cabin fever after all this is done, although i may need a boat to leave the house if the rain doesn't stop soon!
So a few things to update in the life of Meg: Progress of the potty, Store Developments and perhaps some more thoughts on Daddy's departure.
So yesterday was a good day for Doodle and his potty progress. I was surprised since we didnt have much time over the long weekend with camping and such. He did go through about 3 pairs of underpants...2 of which were blessed with, um, #2 goodness. The most exciting was after Daddy got home and we had eatin dinner we both found a Doodle yelling from the potty and he had pulled off a diaper and had gone #2 in the potty all by himself!! :o)) Needless to say there was some MAJOR potty dancing going on in our house hold! lol. He is definitely making headway toward being day time potty trained but there is still much work to be done! He makes us proud everyday that's for sure. :o)
As for my Etsy store, i'm still a little discouraged with the lack of interest but I will attempt a few more things before i call it quits. I have been asked by my Aunt to make some business cards that she can hand out to her girlfriends so that may help i just want to make sure i have everything in place and some of my "Spa products" listed. My goal is to have "Spa Baskets" made up for around Christmas time that will have Moisturizing Lip Balm, Sugar & Salt Exfoliating Scrubs, Whipped Shaving and Exfoliating Soaps, Bath Salts and Oils and regular Moisturizing Bar Soaps. Should be a great gift, we shall see! :o) I also renamed my store to match my wonderful blog :o) lol. So i suppose i have to change all my labels and such...I just feel the title of my blog, and now shop, reflect my life a little better than some random title that i made up just because i needed one.
And on to my Daddy thoughts (get used to it, he hasn't even left yet!) Sunday was one of the best days i have had in a long time. It is rare that we get to spend QUALITY time together especially with out Devon. Not to say that i dont thoroughly enjoy my time with Devon, Its just i feel like Laz and I don't get to spend enough time as a couple...i suppose i should get used to that considering we wont have much choice in a few months. We didn't really do anything exciting, we had a few drinks and watched some Netfilx and just basically enjoyed each others company, it was lovely. :o) On to my venting: I have total faith in our relationship, i am just worried about the trials we are going to face as a family. In the beginning we went through a long distance (sort of) relationship while he was at Drexel in Philly, but even then he came home every weekend and i spoke to him AT LEAST every night before bed where as while hes in basic training ill be lucky if i hear from him once a week (from what i hear.) I think the worst part of it all is the thoughts about how Devon will take it. Yes, he is a Mama's boy...and i mean he wont even let Daddy read a bed time story with out some persuasion, but i think he will definitely notice his absence and it scares me that he will sort of forget him. It sounds awful, i know, but we go too long with out seeing Poppop or Great Poppop he gets weird and shy when he sees them. That would break my, and i'm sure Daddy's, heart. A child only grows up once, and even though he is past most exciting milestones, i hate the fact that he may not know anything about Devon after 8 1/2 weeks as fast as they change and it makes me really question 'is it really worth it?!' I just have to keep telling myself its for our future, its only a few months....hopefully.
