Know what's worse than a newly potty trained 3 year old? A newly potty trained 3 year old with diarrhea!
That's all the detail you need about that. Suffice to say we'll be regressing to wearing diapers for at least today.
Other than that, things are going pretty well. We're going to tackle the kitchen tonight and some of the tv room. That room actually won't be too bad, it's mostly just the big furniture, but there are books and things to come off shelves because you just can't easily move a shelf full of books. I've packed up the upstairs as much as I can, all that's left to do is the boy's clothes, which will just be going in a large garbage bag or 2. The kitchen is going to be a pain in the ass, but I think that's just the way kitchens are. We may not have internet right away, they're sending us the self-install kit, so it might not arrive Friday. I hope it does though!
We're planning to paint the kids' rooms on Friday and move most of the boxes over. The man's plan / hope is to get the kitchen and shed moved, along with the giant hide-a-bed couch upstairs, on Friday. That will leave mostly just furniture for Saturday, when we've rented a truck. I've got all the utilities switched over, I cancelled my Primus account because we're going with Aliant, and I remembered that you need to cancel a month in advance. I did not know that you have to do the same thing with Bell, so those asshats are going to be charging me until July 20 for tv I won't be watching. We did (briefly) consider keeping them, they'll come do a new dish for free and stuff at your new house, but they're just SO GOSH DARN UNHELPFUL at all times, that I couldn't imagine staying with them. Rogers is no better, but at least my signal won't go out if it's humid, or windy, or just for fun.
In other news, I've been making ice cream. The favourite by most so far is mint chocolate chip. Not mint chip fudge; let's be clear. I've also made maple walnut, which is good if you like walnuts, which I don't. My favourite so far was chocolate with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, even though the fluff gets really hard in the freezer. We made some apple crisp, and I made a French vanilla to go with it, which is quite tasty. The difference, for those of you who care, is that French vanilla is a cooked custard base with eggs, where vanilla is just cream, sugar, and vanilla. My next one will be lemon sherbet. mmmm.
That's about it. Things with the wee ones are going pretty well other than the aforementioned stomach issues. The wee-est one was 2 months yesterday, and so has a checkup with NEEDLES today. Gross. The man has never experienced the giving needles to children part of parenting. He's a giant weiner when it comes to needles himself, so I really don't see that he'd be much help. Anyway, I'll dose her up with Advil before we go and nurse her right after, and hope for the best. She still sleeps a lot, but is (sort of, maybe?) getting into a bit of a routine. Evenings are the most unpredictable, she can eat constantly for like 3 hours, or eat a few times an then be down for the count at 8. This impedes my ability to like, leave the house unattended, but I'm ok with that for now. For now. lol. We have a wedding to go to in August, hopefully she'll be a bit more settled by then.
I have to go shower because I also have a checkup today, and I think it's kind of rude not to shower before you have to get all up close and personal with somebody, you know? The boy is watching Super Why, which I pretend is educational, so I don't mind him just sitting there while I play on the computer or shower. I *almost* got to have a nap yesterday, it was great. Almost.
