Not much of a vacation so far.

This week was supposed to be all relaxed and chilled out but it has been anything but! I've been so scatterbrained that I forget to do certain things which leaves me running errands all over the place more than once a day. I blame my period for that. I feel so foggy! Then the potty training that began this week and its been very stressful for me. I've been able to keep my anger in check and not steam over accidents but its the constant back and forth to the bathroom and sitting there for 10 minutes thats really killing me. My ass hurts from sitting on the edge of the tub while she sits on the lil pot. I gotta hand it to Lew she is a trooper! She does really well sitting there even if I have to leave the bathroom to see what one of the other minions is up to in another room or if I need a refill on my coffee. L is doing really well over all, yesterday she went twice in the pot and today not at all but stayed dry for most of the day. I'll take that. I need to figure out how to get out of my fog and take the next 6 weeks and really enjoy them. I've been really stressed out over the pool busting and the money it cost to replace it and figuring out how to save for Xmas! I have a plan but its a very tight budget plan and I am HORRIBLE with sticking to budgets. I mean really bad. I like to buy what I want when I want it so this month has been sucking my ass. I literally have to make either chicken or pasta for the next week because that is what I have in the freezer. I dont know if I can stick to this budget. If I manage to do so I'll be fried by the holidays because all I'll be thinking about is money! Pay this card off and use that money to put into Xmas fund, pay that card off use that money toward my student loans, blah blah blah. Its so annoying but I know by the end of the year we'll have payed off two debts, and have a rockstar Xmas. So it might behoove me to stick to the plan. The pool busting really sent me into overdrive and motivated me to come up with a tight plan that will work. Fucking pool. OH and to add insult to injury....there is NO booze in the house! GAH. Of course Bill is working stupid late tonight and all effing day tomorrow so its just me sitting here wishing for a box of wine/beer/vodka/rum.
OH funny time the kids and I had to day....in the bathroom: I wanted to play a game with the kids but Lewie needed to sit on the pot so I suggested to the others that we play Cootie in the bathroom so L wouldnt feel lonely while we played a game at the table. So there we were playing Cootie on the floor!  When it was all done I told the kids to pick up their Cootie body parts and put them in the bag. They were messing around with them so I say "Cmon kids, you're half Italian, you should know how to stuff body parts in a bag by now!" LOL
