Do you live in the past, present, or future?

I took this challenge from the 2peas website.
Do you live in the past, present, or future?
I tend to live in the present with thinking of the future. I enjoy each day and appreciate all the important things in life. It's amazing to me how fast life goes by and if I don't take the time today to enjoy it I'll have regrets later.
At times in my life, usually when I'm having depression issues, I've lived in the past. Not leg warmers, big hair, and polka dot mini skirt past. But I'll think back to my childhood and wonder how things might have been different had I had a dad growing up and I would dwell on it for days and days. I allow myself time every so often to wonder about him but I don't dwell on it like I used to.
I do things today so that I'll be here for my children in the future.

Potty time?


Adam during one of 100 trips to the bathroom the other day decided he wanted to hold the foot stool while he went potty. He is doing pretty good for his age especially for a boy. He still goes in his diaper a few times a day. But he has shown a ton of interest. He'll even tell me he wants to use the potty as soon as he wakes up. I was expecting him to be a little more stubborn about it. Of course he may decide next week he wants absolutely nothing to do with it. Hopefully he'll keep it up and if he is completely potty trained by summer then he might be able to enroll in 3 year old preschool this fall. It's only 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hours but I think he would enjoy it.

What about Brian?

Confession time... I've still been watching "What About Brian?"
I just kept holding out hope that it was going to get good again and it finally is. So much so that Danny is going to play catch up and start watching it with me again. It seems like there is some definite onscreen chemistry between Marjorie and Brian. I just cant help but get sucked in. Oh, and I sure wish Dena and Dave would kiss and make up. Last weeks episode was to funny when Dena showed up at daycare, where Dave's girlfriend works, looking all hooched up.
There are parts of the show I can do with out but I'm a sucker for the smut.

milestones




It's only Tuesday and already it's been an eventful week. First David got his first job! He is delivering the newpaper. He learned the route today and he really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to walking it with him on the weekends.

The other big news is Adam learned to peddle his tricycle yesterday! He doesn't go very fast or very far, but he is doing it. He needs me to push him a little bit if there is a slight hill. But hey we could all use a push every now and then.

Right now I need a push out the door and to the gym...but that's a whole different post.

Christmas Gift


I absolutely LOVE my Christmas gift from Danny. As always he put a great deal of thought into what he gave me. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Reno


We got Reno a new bed for Christmas and she loves it. The only problem is she uses it more as a step stool to get up on the couch than she does actually to sleep in. If I have her bed right near where I'm sitting than she'll stay in it. Although her first choice is to be on the couch. She is my shadow. I feel bad for her because she is starting to lose her vision in her eye. So she runs into doors and gets caught up under my feet all the time.
