Bad Morning
I know there are a ton of people out there who think a stay at home moms life is simple and easy. I wish. Here’s a snapshot of my morning –
First, Bill overslept by a lot (like over an hour) and he has a meeting this morning. We are in the process of potty training Madison overnight, and she had an accident. Will also woke up and wanted to fed at that moment. I have 2 crying kids and a pissed off husband. It was great. Here’s everything that had to be done:
1. Get Bill out the door.
2. Get Madison naked and throw her in the tub. I also had to wash her hair.
3. Rip all the bedding off Madison’s bed and throw it in the washing machine.
4. Flip my laundry so I can do #4
5. Load the dishwasher, because I am almost out of nipples.
6. Make Will his bottle
7. Make Will his cereal
8. Check on Madison to make sure she is still doing okay.
9. Grab Will and feed him.
That was about 15 minutes of my life this morning. Why is this job unpaid again?

Potty Training
I have forgotten to mention that we are potty training Madison overnight now. It started, because Bill thought I put a diaper on her and I thought he did it. In last week, she has only had one accident overnight. Of course, I just bought a new package of overnight diapers, but what are you going to do? I am hoping that she continues to do this well.
Pooping
I know, great title for a post. Here’s the deal though. Since Madison was seventh months old, she has had pooping issues. We were actually doing semi-good with it (meaning she would actually poop every 2 – 3 days). Then we started potty training, and it has completely gone downhill since. I have tried everything anybody has said to try. Our current method to get her to go is to mix prune juice with her regular juice (that has to taste yummy). I give her that everyday, and she still doesn’t poop everyday. I know if I drank prune juice everyday I would be extremely regular. She can still go several days without pooping. If you give her too much prune juice in one day, you are talking poop explosion and she cries that she has a belly ache for at least an hour if not two.
I am at the point that I do not know what to do. Do I call her doctor and get her in again? I do not want to go the route of medicine, but the kid has got to poop. Any suggestions?
