Nothing New to Report

Nothing major going on around here lately. It's been raining and raining and raining! We had like 2 days without rain, so I was sort of thinking we might be past the raining thing, but...no...it was pouring when I got up this morning! I always hate when it rains in the morning...that just means more time added to my morning commute. At least it's summer time and schools' out--that means 20 less driving minutes. Isn't that ridiculous that it takes me 20 MORE minutes to get to work when the kids are in school!?! They should really start school at about 11am so that those who are going to work don't have to deal with the additional traffic. I live 13 miles from work and when school's in session, it takes me 45 minutes to get to my office!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous! One of the main reasons I want to move away from Austin. We have NO freeways....It's just not easy to manuever around this city. The roads are very inadequate! Ok, that was my rant for the day.

Blake has started potty training at school. My grandma was here last week and attempted to get him out of diapers, but he was sort of stubborn about it. He's cooperating quite nicely with his teachers at school, so that's a good thing. I took him potty before we left for school, put him in underware and am hoping for the best! This is definitely one benefit of Blake going to a small school--they're really able to help a lot with potty training and they're able to give individual time to him to help him succeed. So far, so good! Let's all keep our fingers crossed that he keeps up the good work and that buying diapers for him will be a thing of the past!

Other than that, nothing to report, really. My dad and Mimi were here last week to watch Blake while his school was closed for summer vacation. I have a few pics I need to post as soon as I get a minute to download them. We had a nice time with them at our house!
