Election Results

My heart breaks for the immorality of this country. The polls showed it all...

Oh Lord, in this ever-changing and corrupt world, I just cling to You even more!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Caleb!

Potty training blooper...

Just before laying Caleb down for his nap, I put him on the potty. He sat there, and of course I sat there with him, and no such luck. Then Hannah started crying in the other room, so I told Caleb to stay there while mommy went to get Hannah. Low and behold, while heading back into the bathroom to check on Caleb's progress, he meets me at the bathroom door, standing over a decent-sized puddle. I immediately scolded him and told him that he's supposed to pee on the potty and not on the floor. That's when he yelled at me, which resulted in me spanking him for yelling at me. When I went back into the bathroom to get his pants, I noticed that he had peed in his potty too! When I saw that, I realized that he probably came running to find me when he started peeing on the potty which result in the accident on the floor, which is why he yelled at me when I scolded him. I feel like such an awful mom at times...
