Another boring "run."

Right after I started, Eli took his diaper off. No big deal. He's interested in the potty, but we have our countdown to no more diapers for next Saturday when break starts. So when he said he wanted to go, I put him on the toilet and went back to working out. He flushed. He flushed again. Then he comes out saying there was something wrong with the toilet.

When I went in there, he had tried to flush an entire roll of toilet paper.

So I kinda lost track how long I was on. I did some before the kids went to bed, but I was interrupted. And then I did some after they went to bed. Altogether it was at least 80 minutes, but I went a little longer to be sure. I'm just counting it as 8 miles. I have no idea.

Another day inside tomorrow, then it's outside again.

Ah yeah ya can't call that boring! I thought your kids were a little older??

What kind of treadmill do you have? I'm shopping for one...

Ah, the joys of potty training. Life is crazy when you have little ones. Life is kind of crazy anyway, but especially when little kids are involved.

Carolyn, I can't agree enough. My littlest one is the craziest too. My first was easy and my second is more challenging. It makes me dread what's in store for me during the teenage years.

And April, my oldest just turned 5, youngest will be 3 in April. I don't have a treadmill. I'm making do with my Gazelle, a product that Tony Little was hawking about 10 years ago. It's closest relative is the elliptical I guess.

Oh yeah I remember you mentioned the gazelle a few days ago!

LOL! My daughter will be 3 in April as well--and potty training is not going well for us. Good luck with yours!
