Weekend in review

I am a member of a secret society, and on Friday night 4 out of the 5 4Bs* in the secret society made it out. One B was ornerier than usual, one B complained about the pscho Bug Lady from work and the Queen B was celebrating the success of her recently launched business. The 5th B was on a ski vacation elsewhere. Me? I was just happy to be in proximity of the women in my life who still remember me as fun.

Of course the evening couldn't be without incident as one B pointed out. "Partying with Incidents" is the foundation of our secret society. When we got back to the minivan we were parked in a crime scene. Had we arrived 15 minutes later we may have been part of the crime. We barreled the minivan through the police blockade and somehow the van knew the way to Dick's on Queen Anne.

I came home late to one sick husband. The night continued to errode as Britta woke up in such vasts amount of urine we had to change her jammies and let her sleep in our bed so her crib could dry out. I suspect Andy must have tried my 40 ouncer with a nipple idea. Karsten then woke up and wandered around downstairs for a few hours. I logged a good 5 hours of sleep...and then the other kids showed up. I was watching 6 kids -- the biggest with raging ear infections. I chugged some coffee and let the kids dig around at the beach. The day turned out surprisingly well.

All this excitement didn't stop me from my resolution of potty training this weekend. Every week I kept saying "next week" but "next week" never came. Yesterday I resolved. We had 1 peepee in the potty, 1 poopoo in the pants and 1 peepee in her pants. My grade: moderate success and at least we have officially started the process.

Now it is Sunday. Britta sat on the potty today with no tinkling, except for in the naptime diaper. I may start offering juice during the day so we can up the daytime fluid intake for training purposes.

I took Karsten to a bridal shower with me today. His friend Naomi was there to play with him. On the way over he told me, "One boy and one girl...that means we can cuddle!" I didn't know what to say to that one. He did try and kiss Naomi a few times when we were leaving. I told him he needed to ask her first and if she said, "no" then he couldn't kiss her. She said no. He had to settle for mommy kisses today. Poor Karsten got shot down. Andy told him "next time kiss first and ask later" but I was there to make Andy recall his statement.

Don't ask me about the 4Bs, I can never tell. No, you cannot join. Membership closed in 1989. I will say that we don't have a handshake but we do have a secret song.
