You should never (**updated**)

You should never come home, after a few hours to yourself and expect things to go right on schedule. Because your kids will wake up from their naps hungry (they chose not to eat before they took the nap) and fussy.

You should never let your son decide to p*tty train, on an off afternoon, when his sister is unusually fussy. If she is whiny and wanting to be held at every moment, p*tty training can be tricky. (I am more than thrilled to begin this milestone, we have been waiting anxiously to begin the process. I am glad JB felt like trying and did great!! One accident in 4 hours time. He went to the potty a total of 4 times, once he began using the p*tty. I actually ALMOST offered him a diaper because I was so not in the mood to do this now! But I fought the urge and we ended the night with a win. We are eager and ready to start the process again today.)

You should never expect to sit down while p*tty training a 2.5 year old and dragging a 4 year old behind you. Your son (2.5 year old) will need constant supervision to make sure he remains dry in between trips to the p*tty. Your daughter (4 year old) will just drive you crazy at some point while this event is under way. You will want ear plugs - but not have them. You will want water proof undies (without the irritating plastic pants) but you will need to chase the toddler around like a shadow in hopes he stays dry.

You should never try to figure out how to fix a few email/blog kinks while trying to feed your kids and get them settled for bed. The phone will ring, your son will need to try to go p*tty and your daughter will cry that she isn't hungry. Once the meal is over your daughter will then cry because "she is even MORE hungry". You will be forced to demand her to put on her PJ's and get ready for bed, when you really want to comfort her. You will then realize your daughter MAY need to see the Pediatrician since you cannot figure out what all the whining is about.

You should never think this will not happen to you, because..... it might! :) All this happening while your hubby is at a meeting. LIFE happens when you least expect it, but that is what makes it fun! Right??

UPDATE

You should never think that was the end of the story. I posted this last night for today and the story did not end there. HC has had an on again off again fever all week - so yes - pediatrician appt today. She had a virus Saturday - Sunday for 24 hours. Now, back to last night!

You should never think you are out of the clear because the kids are asleep. JB woke vomiting twice. Can you believe he tried to p*tty train feeling sick??? I am amazed. So, since we are going to the pediatrician already... JB will be seen too! It is the worst not feeding your kids when they are hungry but you are not sure if their tummy is ready or not!
