Toilet Terror!?!

A necessity for everyone on a daily basis, for some, like myself, 100 times a day, the toilet is something we never give a second thought. My child on the other hand, I believe overthinks the toilet. She has a terrible fear of the toilet, that is the only thing I can think it can be!

Taylor has never been a fan of public restrooms because she didn't like the dirtiness or something. I didn't teach her that. But let me go back a year or so. It started last spring when I put 2000 flushes in our home toilets. She was terrified of the blue water! She would not use her bathroom until the water had faded back to clear. I had to put my hand in the water and show her it was still a normal toilet. And that is when the public toilet fears started.

Then today make a trip to WalMart and I immediately make a trip to the bathroom and I of course always make her try to go. I do this because if I don't, with out fail, 5-7 minutes after we are far from a bathroom she will start the famous, "pee-pee dance" even though I just asked her if she had to go and she of course said, "no mommy." We walk in, things are great, I am think this is going to be easy, I tell her to "go in and go in and go potty"... and then, it starts! The tears start coming! "Mommy come in with me, mommy it flushes by itself, mommy I am scared!"

Scared of a toilet! I have never heard of something so crazy! The dark, spiders, and heights, sure, but a toilet?

Jumping on the Bandwagon!

After jumping from blog to blog of everyone from my "childhood" I have decided to make a blog of my own so that everyone can keep up with me if they choose to do so. Lucky y'all! I will do a quick 10 year recap to bring you up-to-date with my life and then from now on I will do regular updates.

• After a year at SHSU I moved to Washington State in May of 2001.
• Have been working off and on at different places, nothing too exciting.
• Fast forward 6 years because nothing special happened.
• January of 07 I met Garrett, April we started dating, a year later we were engaged.
• September of 2007 I decided to finally go back to school!
• February 14, 2008 we got awarded temporary custody of his daughter, and April 7, 2008 it was made permanent.
• May 23, 2008 we got Married.

• December brought another short deployment, my hunnie bunnie Taylor celebrated her 6th birthday on Christmas day, and it was our first holiday season as a Mr&Mrs. and a happy family, all together.

That pretty much brings us up to date. Amazing I can sum up the last 8 years of my life in 9 bullet points! In a short 3 months we will be celebrating a year of marriage and in a short 4 months I will be graduating from college with my associates degree. My how time does fly! I look forward to keeping up with friends through my new found blogspot!
