Catching up is hard to do...

So much to write about and so little time. I recently started attending a "boot camp" to get back into shape. It has been challenging and rewarding. My friend Christine runs the boot camp and makes sure none of us can walk the next day. A few weeks ago we even worked out in a storm as lightening got closer and it was raining and blowing pretty hard. She is pretty hard core, but that is what I need right now. I am not very self motivated at the time. I am truly grateful for those who are motivated and push me to be and do better.
In other news... Alexis is still potty training. She did great for a week and then decided she wanted to go back to diapers. I knew this was going to happen and be a challenge because Alexis is a super stubborn little girl. She has a problem with getting "backed up" and then she reverts back. So this week it is like we are starting over. She does enjoy the bathroom being open now though. It used to always be closed, but now since it is not, she cannot get enough of that room. She is always washing her hands. Toilet paper is also as new thing for her. Last week she overflowed the toilet with a whole roll that she tried to flush down. As if that wasn't enough time out for her she decided to see what happened to the toilet paper in the sink. Let's just say that a plunger doesn't work on the sink and TP really clogs up the sink.
She also has to use every bathroom everywhere we go. That has been challenging with having Timothy too. At Walmart she had to stop at the bathroom a couple times... and did nothing when we finally got all situated. She just says, "Mom, I'll try again later!" If only she understood what it takes to get her in that darn bathroom. I think she is truly trying out her independence. Oh and she also learned to lock the doors on the bathroom. I've now had to break into my own bathroom several times as I know she is getting into some kind of trouble. I'm just waiting for her to lock me out of the house now.

Well enough of my rambling... I just needed to get caught up on our mundane life. But life is good.
