The week that was...
busy! Contrary to what the rumor sites are saying, I have not joined the Writers Guild and gone on strike, nor have I started touring with Steve Harvey. Instead, I was knee deep in a week that was...
rewarding. I got promoted at work!
scary. There was an unplanned hospital visit for a family member. No worries, everything is fine.
great. The boy pooped on the potty! He's been fighting this with all his might for all of his 3 years. Then one day, without saying a word, he went to the toilet, sat down, and pooped as though he'd been doing it all his life. We didn't even know where he went, then he came back and told us that he pooped on the potty. Between you and me, I didn't believe him. Then I got up, went to the toilet, and saw those two glorious pieces of poop. Much celebration ensued.
sad. My Fisher Space Pen ran out of ink.

It sounds like you had a roller coaster of a week. What week is complete without a good poop story?

Double yay for pooping in the potty!! A promotion on top of that sounds like a great week.

Triple yay for pooping in the potty! Now that you'll have all that extra money (from NOT buying diapers) maybe you can get some more of that space ink.
Congrats on your promotion!!

congratulations on your promotion. the poop might have been a little too much information for me. especially the number of poops that were in your toilet. from your son. but cool for him. i will try to keep in mind that i should just back off of max before he turns three. sad about your space pen, though.
Jon said:
Congrats on the promotion!! I got a promotion too!! Of course, I promoted myself. I've been doing that pretty much every hour, on the hour, since I got laid off, but whatever. I mean, what are the odds that we both get promotions in the same week?!?!?
also, while I was reading this, I was snacking on 3 mini snickers. Then I got to the poop part. I'm going to end there.

Congratulations on your promotion...but that happy news pales in comparison to the the utter joy and amazement of finding not one, but TWO glorious pieces of poop happily floating in the potty water.
Good thing the boy didn't flush...
Sarah said:
What a big week - I'm glad all is so well... except for the pen... can you buy refills with the new promotion?
Lisa said:

congrats on the promotion and the potty poopage! sorry to hear about the illness and the ink.
was last week busy for everyone?
Becky said:
office depot has refills for the pen, but you probably knew that already. since you're so smart and promotion-worthy. and congrats to the boy!

WOW! POOP IN THE POTTY!!!
Can I tell you who I would kill to get my kid to poop in the potty? Seriously. Name someone, and if you guarantee that my son will use the potty as a result, I will off 'em for you.
I'm extremely jealous. As you may have figured by now, JAKE IS 4. We are going to have to go for hard-core tactics (i.e., use the potty or I will hose you off in the backyard).
And congrats on the promotion. That is good.

Congratulations on the promotion.
Now we just have to work on hand-washing.
Christian said:
This new permotion of yours...does it give you the 17 dollars to spare for a new pen?!
If so, then that's totally worth it.
Cate said:
Way to show us all up with a kickin' new template, Omar. Preciate it much!
And yay for poop in the potty!
Lauren said:
I don't believe it. You ARE on tour with Steve Harvey.
Rhonda said:
