It looks like pickles


I am not awake today. The combination of my job, a sick, nursing infant, and a preschooler who is potty training has completely drained me. Fatigue started when the post doc nearly killed his computer by forcing it to function with all 30 gigabytes of memory full to the tippy tippy top (he has only been here 6 months, I have been here 4 years and have used 800 MB). I spent all of Mon am explaining to him that the 250 papers he was saving to his hard drive in super-rich-text complete-color-illustration format would definitely still exist in the medical database a month from now and he could trust the database to save them for him. This was followed by 3 hours of continuous nursing with Scoots as soon as I arrived home and that certainly contributed to my fatigue.
But, potty training really was the final blow. Manther absolutely must operate in extremes at all times. I found out last week that it took until the age of 3 years and 11 months to potty train her because she holds her pee for all 8 hours at daycare rather than use a potty that is not tucked away in a private room. I was more than a little shocked to find that she is (or is capable of) doing this and explained the importance finding and using a potty when the urge occurs rather than get sick with a UTI. So, I was woken up at 2:30 am, after two full hours of sleep, by a little voice telling me she had to go potty. More precisely, poo poo. I perched on the edge of the bathtub and fought to stay awake and keep my balance as we poo pooed and discussed Spiderman. Apparently, he was on TV last night and Manther really likes him and wanted to know the details of his existance: does he live in a house, does he have parents, does he come in the front door or down the chimney, will he come to my birthday party, if we were in trouble would he rush in to rescue us, and on and on and on. Finally, there was silence. I looked up from the doze I had fallen into to see Manther standing next to and staring into the potty. I asked if she was okay and she said, "I went poo poo." I congratulated her and asked why she looked concerned. "My poo poo looks like pickles." Funny? Yes, but not at 2:45am. After many assurances that everyone's poop looks something like what she saw in the potty, we returned to bed (praise God). From this point on, all fruits and fiber that are served in my household will be served at morning meals only.

Potty training and nursing at the same time is hell. No sleep on either ends. My daughters are 23 months apart and with them now at the ages of 5 & 6 I can finally say I survived it.

Congratulations on your new baby :)

Parenting can be tough, but having to deal with nursing and potty training all together is super tough. I can fully understand why you're all drained out. I would have felt the same if that happened to me. :-) Better get a whole lot of rest, or else you might end up sick. :-0

The war was cruel and people were forced to leave their native places. There was no doubt that they lost touch with each other. Many soldiers were killed but he tried his best to keep alive because he owed her a wedding and he promised to come back.[url=http://www.soowatch.com/replica-chopard-watches.html]chopard watch[/url]
Rolex watches are amazing. A gorgeous Rolex watch looks great and stylish. As we all know that Rolex watches are known for its strength and endurance, that's why Rolex watches have a good reputation for so many years. And also you will see the quality and precision reflected in each Rolex watch. So, Rolex is a name that thousands of people had dreamed of.

The 8GB version is only being sold through Google's own store, rather than physical retailers - but online buyers appear to have shunned it, surprising Google, which had thought that the cheaper version, despite having only half as much storage, would sell better than it has. 1 tablet cannot handle DVD discs directly without DVD drive. It's finally
a pure Android experience in a tablet form.

It might be tough to locate custom orthotics for high heels, specifically. First of all, the orthotic is designed to match within a shoe that has a removable insole. Many women's dress footwear don't have a removable insole.
Having had some experience with the kind of shoe it requires to match an orthotic, I have this guidance to offer. Select the footwear to match the orthotic, not vice versa.
You need a shoe using a deep adequate toe and heel region to allow for your foot to nonetheless fit comfortably inside, once the orthotic is inserted. You are going to most likely must shop inside the far more expensive shoe stores in order to seek out anything with a higher heel which will also accommodate the added insole. You'll find, however, some alternatives.
Insoles of all kinds are created to correct or permit for differences in people's feet. In many situations the massive difference is within the height of the arch. Low, higher and in some cases medium arches can want some additional support in any kind of shoe.
You can find some specially designed insoles that started out as custom orthotics for higher heels. Now, since of "giving" components, primarily plastics that conform for the shape on the feet, these insoles might be utilised by anyone. The truth is, any person that wears higher heels must invest in several pairs.
Wearing a shoe using a higher heel is actually a style statement, a strategy to boost your height, a method to make your legs look much better or basically a matter of private preference. The problem is that the design isn't correct for the human physique. There's too much pressure on the ball on the foot, when it must be far more balanced.
The new semi custom orthotics for high heels shifts the weight in the ball in the foot back towards the heel, which corrects the imbalance. Wearing a higher heel on a regular basis increases your risks of injury and circumstances that include hammertoes, bunions and arthritis. Wearing insoles that correct the imbalance may possibly put your danger back to exactly where it must be.
A single style was developed by Dr Howard Dananberg. As an alternative to allowing your toes to slide down into the toe box of the shoe, the insole cushions them. Even people with no feet troubles will feel like they're wearing heels which can be half the height of what they actually are.
In the event you do locate other types of custom orthotics for high heels, don't forget that they might not function in all of the favorites. If the footwear are heel-less, most orthotic insoles will not operate. The same is true for toeless or sandals.
In the event you do a small on the web purchasing, you will see that you will find hundreds of distinct insoles to select from these days. The foam pads that you just see hanging within the drugstore are "passé" to say the least. For about the identical value, you are able to get a pair of complete or ¾ length insoles to make your favorite footwear much more comfortable than they've ever been.
Remember that the new semi custom orthotics for high heels could also reduce your risk of injury and deformities. You are going to see they may be effectively worth the investment.
