Pre-K, Potty-Training, & Pampering

It’s 7:27am on Labor Day 2019.  The house is quiet, with Hubbin & littles sleeping in heavenly peace.  I, on the other hand, have been up since 6:00…on a holiday…when I don’t have to be up.  And for what, you may ask?  Pre-K, potty-training, and pampering.  Pumpkin starts Pre-K tomorrow, so I’m going down my mental “Day before school starts” checklist to be completed before the day ends.  *Cue impending doom music*  Hair to styled, uniforms to be ironed and set out for the week, lunch boxes to be packed…the list goes on & on.  Suddenly, I find myself thinking about potty-training Pops (my brain is weird like that).  With that one thought, an overwhelming sense of dread and anxiety wash over me like a soul-crushing wave! Ok…that’s a bit dramatic.  But, seriously, have you tried potty-training a boy? It’s THE WORST!!! Nobody warned us.  You take 3 steps forward and get knocked back 30,000.  It’s horrible.  Some days are pretty good…others not so much, but we’re putting in the work to get it done.

So what do I do with all this stuff?  How do I get it done & not lose myself in the process?  This is one of my favorite parts.  PAMPERING!!!!  It doesn’t even matter what your brand of pampering is.  Maybe you like manis & pedis, maybe you enjoy cooking, maybe you like to sit & do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  Whatever your brand of relaxing is, do it and do it often.  It’s one of the best things you can do for you and your family.
