Hi! I'm corrie and I'm a paper addict

So, I admit that I have some issues when it comes to buying paper. I love to shop for new paper and I'm always looking at different stuff online. Each time a new line comes out......I want it very badly and it takes a lot of restraint not to press the "add to cart button." Ok, so maybe I do press the "add to cart button" but I don't checkout and pay! Here's what I'm wanting lately:


I'll have to save some pennies to order these. For now, I will look at it daily...."eye candy" ha ha ha!

Not much is going on around here....still cleaning pee and washing lots of rags and undies.

This is why I don't shop for kid's clothes............

How cute is this outfit? I could definitely see Abby wearing this. But here is my favorite.....


I love this little dress. If it were in my size, I'd buy it! GapKids has some cute stuff right now, its just a lot over my budget and too cute to look at.

My life in a urinal

Yes, I feel as though I live in a giant urinal. No one really tells you when you have a toddler how many times you will be cleaning pee off of the floor. No one tells you your toddler will try to dump out their own training potty everyday. No one warns you of all the little drops of pee that will fall on the bathroom floor. THEN, add a puppy to the mix and double the original amount of pee from your toddler. The puppy has peed on rugs, in her cage, basically she's peed in most of the rooms downstairs. I feel like I'm living in a urinal. I am always cleaning up pee and I always smell pee. I am super sensitive to smells and I sure don't want people coming over and smell pee. I am sure my pee cleaning days will come to an end soon, but I'm hoping for sooner than later.

Not much else is going on here, except my great luck with the air conditioner. Since we've moved in we have repair guys out once a year for some reason or another. This week it was the zone board. The old one was going out, but the house still cooled down. Once the new one went in, the upstairs stopped cooling down and it became a balmy 84 degrees plus upstairs. So the repair guy came out for a second time in one day. Today........the board, which was brand new, went out! So......another one has to be ordered and a tech will have to come back for a third day this week.

No interesting pictures to post today. Things have been a bit crazy around here.

Look at this priceless piece of artwork! My budding artist painted this yesterday. She got to use the "special paints." Basically they weren't the usual watercolors. She had a blast and could possibly paint every surface of the house if I let her. Here she is in action:



She's also been reading her favorite book. During breakfast a couple of days ago, she read this book to me:
She makes lots of facial expressions while saying, "Mama, mama, ooooh, stinky face." Its pretty darned cute if you ask me. Thanks to Betsy for this great book, she LOVES it!

Since we've had the new puppy, I am definitely up a LOT earlier than normal, cleaning up LOTS of pee, and cleaning up her messes. She seems to think the water bowl is a swimming pool. Nathan and I have come to the conclusion that we have this ability to pick out the "special" animals. Go figure! Here is a pic of Winni after she got in trouble:




Having Winni is like having a little bro/sis for Abby b/c they are always aggravating eachother. I think now she's learned to appreciate Corgan a lot more.
