Happy Easter everyone!

Fun at Grandma Wendy's

Adam spent last Sunday with Grandma Wendy. Grandma took Adam to an Easter Party complete with a visit by the Easter Bunny (and his little twin!)

The spot on his chin are his "Teeth" he wanted bunny teeth. Silly boy!

This is as close as he would get to the Easter Bunny - but it's still a cute photo!

Just a few sprinkles on his cookie!

At the playground at the Community Center!

All in all, I think Adam had a lot of fun with Grandma Wendy!

Great Weekend at the Krueger House!

We had a great weekend! Let's start at the beginning. On Friday, I picked Adam up at daycare, like usual, and in the care he explained to me how much he loves getting a jelly bean when he pees on the potty at school. A "ding" went off in my head as I pulled into Walgreen's - explaining to Adam that I will get him jelly beans for at home - if he goes on the potty.

I'm. A. Genius.

Starting Friday night, Adam peed on the potty. He pulled his pants down, climbed up onto his stool and did it. No questions asked.

A fluke? A desire for a couple of jelly beans? At this point, I wasn't sure.

Then Saturday - same thing - he would run into the bathroom and do his thing into the potty.

It started becoming a reality, my son is going to be potty trained!!!!

The true test was Sunday, he spent the day at Grandma Wendy's house - and went to an egg hunt (more on that later!) which meant an unfamiliar potty and time running around.

When I went to pick him up, I got the good news - not only did Adam have no problem using Grandma's potty but he also announced he had to pee in the middle of Walmart, was rushed to the bathroom and did it just fine!!!!

This is huge - I'm thrilled that he is finally getting the whole potty thing down, but even more thrilled that I won't be spending nearly as much on diapers! (Perhaps we can invest the money we'll save in Mike's other love.)

Grrargh!

If it's not one thing it's another, right? Like last week, my car started making this horrible siren-like noise when I was in reverse - I finally got a chance to take it in yesterday for repairs. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, but still.

Then there's the sick. Between Adam's ever running nose, allergies for both Mike and Manda and tons of doctors appointments for my chronic sinutis...

But what's getting to me the most these days is work. It's challenging to be more experienced then your boss. I have to cut her some slack, she's new to our organization and doesn't know what's going on most of the time - but it's getting to an overwhelming point. She is so indecisive. She refuses to make any decision outside of our weekly team meetings - which doesn't really work.

Right now, I am frantically trying to finish all of our materials, get quotes and get them to print. BUT I can't. She won't proof anything and takes every single suggestion she gets from other people (locally and nationally) as a rule/requirement which means I am constantly re-doing my work.

There's nothing I can do about it either, I just have to suck it up and do what she wants as frustrating as she can be. I just don't think she understands that my job revolves around her approving. I can't move forward with any projects until she approves. Oh! And she has to have the last word/say in everything. Something can be perfect and she'll make me make a change for no reason. Like the shade of the pink font I used.

I know this makes no sense, and I'm just grumbling. But at least you'll know why I'm a giant crank the next time I see you!
