Another year, maybe I will be successful about updating
Seriously, I wonder what is wrong with me! I keep thinking, oh I'll update and I last a week and then ... nothing. But it's a new year and everything we decide we'll do in the new year always works out. *big eye roll*
Work is fine, nothing really going on there but giving performance reviews, writing objections and trying to stay current with my inbox.
The extended family is fine, there is new drama with my Mom and brother, but really, it's not new just perhaps prolonged. Since I'm not involved, I'm not going to waste worrying about it here, let's keep this post happy.
The kids are great. LM#2 is potty trained *dance of joy!* We switched to pullups in October, a made a potty chart, there were stickers and candy rewards and group peeing (hubby and LM#1 tried to encourage), but nothing was working. And since I was afraid of "babying" the little one I decided on 12/16 to put him in underwear. It was a messy day, there was crying, there was big mean mom making him walk up the stairs drenched in pee, there was lots of laundry. Wrote a note to school explaining and sent lots of clothes and plastic bags. It was a long week.
Then. The day after Christmas he started peeing on the potty and hasn't stopped. He's had two accidents since then but both were because he waited too long and wet his pants standing in front of the toliet. So sad. But, no more diapers or pullups *gg* the grocery store trip is so much cheaper. Whew.
Now to conquer the binky. But I have plan, we are going to vacation in February and we are going to leave it there by mistake. Sadly I don't think this will go well, perhaps I'm shoring myself up for horriblness and when it turns out ok I'll be pleasantly surprised.
On vacation is exciting, we are going to Disney World!! We leave in 10 days and we are there for 5 days. I'm looking forward to it, I think the kids are exited. Mr. KA and I have done a lot of research of what the kids can do, we have made a schedule, we have dining reservations. We are pretty set. My biggest thing now is the stroller. I want to take my friends, she just used it there and it was great, can carry the older too if need be, but it's bulky. Mr. KA doesn't want it, I can tell. I think he wants to rent one from Disney, which is 15 bucks a day with a $100 deposit. Plus it all looks the same, so you have to hope no one takes it in error. We'll see how that pans out.
TV is ok. Some better than others. I just dropped Being Human the show just wasn't about being human anymore, it changed and I cared about one storyline only. What is hurting me is the amount of shows I watch without Mr KA is too many. I watch then in 20 minute intervals and it takes days. So I feel behind all the time.
That being said, I'm really enjoying Hawaii 5-0 this season, I think the Danny and Steve stuff has improved greatly. Merlin is good although I have been spoiled, something I didn't want but saw while looking at a picture posted in Facebook, so... I'm really apprehensive about the finale now. And Suits is back. *g* And in the last episode, which is really last week's, the one where Mike got beat up and Harvey was all "who did this to you?? I'll kill him!" Haaahaaa, the slash is awesome in this show.
It's the Avenger fandom that has eaten my brain. I try and stray from fic there but find myself back after a few stories. I can't stop. My love for Steve and Tony knows no bounds. My infatuation with Robert Downey Jr just grows, and I have an enabler out there that keeps sending me gifs! :P Which is good but not helping with the Avenger love.
I may try and start poting fic rec's here. I have a ton as I have a group email of about 13 people that I send fic recs too. And if I can get myself to update here more often, I will try and do it here as well.
