Potty Training Saga

Well, not much of a saga really.
Yesterday morning, I put little briefs on Matito and informed him he would now have to use the potty. So he did.
No accidents yet.
and I thought it was going to be difficult. :)

count down is on!

Only five more days of my practicum to go! Then it is a long weekend and starting my new job. I am so excited!

I am so stoked about the job I am entering into:
good pay*, great hours for a mommy, interesting work that I am really happy to be doing, (hopefully)making a difference in the live of some deserving children. AND I am learning and getting new ideas for stuff to help Matito learn and enjoy the world around him.

How many people can say they are doing something the WANT to do, rather than just doing a job that brings in the cash? Or doing something they want to do and actually getting paid fairly well for it?

Im feeling like Master of my own destiny (or Mistress omod?)

I am 33 years old and finaly feel like I am getting my act together in a more holistic sense. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I am inspired to re-read Covey's 7 Habits... as I think I can now relate more to what he is talking about in that book - sphere of influence, paradigm shift, etc, etc.

Next project: getting a bigger living space with some green space. stay tuned.

*note about the pay: some of my classmates and future collegues might disagree with my term "good pay" (we get a good hourly wage, but only work 30-35 hours per week,with no work during july and august) but from the point of view of someone who lives a fairly simple and frugal lifestyle, and who prefers to spend as much time as possible with family and friends living life (studying, travelling, learning, exploring,etc), it is more than adequate for what I expected or needed.

practicum

wow! What a practicum I am on this time. It has basically consisted of me sitting around watching the EA I am supposed to be helping do her thing and getting asked "What are you doing Margaret?" in a condescending tone every time I try to be useful as if i were 6 years old.

Fun.
