Mystery Shopping
Hey everybody, I have been looking into the whole mystery shopping thing. Everything I find is so contradictory. Does anybody know anybody who has done this or knows anything about this or these websites? Thanks so much.

a little mixed up, but right on
Stephen came in here as I was writing the other posts and had a sip of my Diet Dr. Pepper. Finally, I snagged it back and told him to go. He did, but then popped back in a minute later and asked if he could have something to drink. I followed him to the kitchen and asked him what he wanted. His answer, "Dr. Coke."

My life in a nutshell
This morning while sitting on the barstool watching me cook his eggs and sausage, Stephen asked me where we were going today. "School, church, Ma-mart? Which one? Let's go to Ma-mart, kay?"
There ya go, my life in a nutshell: School, church, Wal-mart.

Party pooper, Poop party
Wow, it was an awesome and busy weekend in spite of the poop. There were friends in town, a potato gun, lots o' little kids, a nose piercing, a trip to the zoo, a night out with the girls, a birthday party, and poop. Obviously poop is a normal thing and in a house with small children even a normal part of conversation.
Stephen has developed a fear of pooping on the potty. He says it will hurt. I'm not sure where this fear came from. But he is also becoming afraid of pooping in his underwear because he knows it drives mommy and daddy crazy! So there were long drawn out sessions of sitting on the potty wriggling in agony fighting the urge to poop with huge amounts of emotion/hysteria/panic and crying because "it's gonna hurt me." So we would let him up and then remind him to not poop in his underwear. Then a little while later he would be dancing and trying not to poop in his underwear so we run for the bathroom and get him all set up and more of the above described scene. This happened friday night and off an on all day yesterday. Do you know, it feels like being a labor coach, sitting on the floor in front of him, trying to calm him and urging him to just push and then it will all be ok. Anyways, finally last night after off and on all day he did it. Major Relief. He was so happy. But when Brad bent over to wipe Stephen his glasses fell in the toilet. Eww, gross, we know. Even funnier was him yelling "CRAP!" and of course I had to say, "well, yeah it is, honey." Stephen thought it was pretty funny.
And Lexie, oh Lexie. Yesterday morning I gave her a quick bath before getting her dressed for church and let her run around naked for just a minute and went up front to check on my food cooking (for lunch at church later). Here comes Stephen a minute later dragging Lexie by I'm not sure what now that I think about it because her hands were covered in poop. She was still naked and it was on her foot and down one leg and yes, around her mouth. Ew, gross, panic. Can you put antibacterial stuff in their mouth?! So I grab her and hold her at arm's length and run back to the tub. Brad runs for the bedroom armed with Lysol and Resolve in each hand to find out where exactly she was when she pooped. She was in her room. There was poop on the carpet and poop on some of the toys. There isn't anymore of course, but man it was a pooping party weekend.
