Sugary sweet

Of all the things you expect when having a child, it's always the little things that suprise you. Having a baby will completely and irrevocably complicate your life. However, the benefits will overwhelm you. And you can expect to be pooped, peed and puked on -- that's a given. But I swear, if anyone had told me in advance about potty training, I would have seriously thought twice.

This maybe one of the most aggrevating experiences possible. This 2-year-old child of mine has completely manipulated our morning routine. I am 30 years older than he is but he has me following him around with Scooby-Doo undies touting the comfort of cotton against his bottom instead of a pull-up. I have praised and pleaded, begged and threatened, but nothing will sway him. Until today....

One little orange dum-dum sucker equals one big boy poopie in the potty. I gave that kid a sucker at 7:30 this morning, BEFORE his breakfast. And I did not have to change yet another poopy diaper so I don't give a fuck.

Hell, we're going to my mom's house this afternoon, might as well start the sugar feed early.

I am exhausted...
