5k Run
A friend of mine arranged a 5k run for our branch in Lloydminster. She did a great job. It was a good challenge for me and we all had fun. I definitely need to continue to shape up.... but it was easier then I thought it would be (especially with forgetting my inhaler). Ian kept up a good pace as well and was ahead of me into the 4th lap (don't worry, I beat him :). I look forward to doing it again next year and plan to improve on my time (which was not great so I am not divulging it).
Cora also came for the weekend and did all the work pushing the girls around the course. It was fun to have Hailey cheering me on when I ran into the finish!

it's just hard!
I have a really hard time listening to people say things are 'so easy' when I find them SO hard!
Our life experiences are all so different. No 2 people experience this life exactly the same as another and we also have all come to this Earth with different skills, talents and abilities. I remind myself of this everytime I hear about someone experiencing things really easy, or really hard. I hear daily of families struggling with loss, illness, accidents and evils inflicted by others. My heart breaks for them.... and I know I couldn't even begin to cope with such tragedies (though I know I can't escape them forever).
I'm sure my 'issues' with hearing of others 'easy going' lives all have to do with pride (or most likely jealousy). I'm working on it. I'll try not to hate you for your happiness ;)

Potty Training
Uhg....
You're right! Keeping Hailey is diapers was easier ;) Potty training is NO fun....
Hailey is fairly co-operative and has been pretty good 'training'. She has wanted to go potty and wear panties and (once she was ready) hasn't refused to go. Yes there have been accidents of both varieties (which I would rather clean up than puke) but that isn’t the frustrating part.
It is the constant back and forth to the toilet, no matter what you were in the middle of. It is the waiting and checking and reading and waiting. It is the running out of the bathroom with poop on her bum/hands telling me that she pooped and I should come see…. Most of all it is the new ‘excuse’ to get out of bed that I can’t refuse her because she is learning to control her body (even if she really doesn’t have to go and just wants out of bed). That is what makes me snap!
I am so proud of Hailey! She tells me when she needs to go (most of the time), she stays dry through naps and nighttime and she loves her big girl panties!
We aren’t past accidents yet and that is okay. She will get there and in the meantime I am trying my best to remain patient with the 300% increase in daily bowel movements.
