One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Toddler Tales: Potty Training

Mommy:              Do you have to go potty?


Toddler:               No.  (passes gas)


Mommy:              (sniffing.  Smelling something that’s not very fresh.)

Mommy:              Do you have to go poopy?!

Toddler:               Yes.

Mommy frantically gets the toddler on the toilet.

Toddler:               I went poopy!

Mommy:              Are you all done?

Toddler:               All done! I want to take a picture.

Mommy:              A picture?

Toddler:               Yes, of the poopy!

Mommy:              Shaking my head and thinking, “Perhaps I have taken this--blogging, constant picture taking—thing too far. Clearly my child thinks that everything is a "Kodak moment"!
