How I did it
How to potty train baby
It took me
7 days
It made me
crazy, briefly

How I did it: My daughter seemed really ready and had had many potty chair successes in the past where she was able to "produce." I decided that we weren't going to get a better opportunity, armed myself with M&Ms and stickers, used the Pull-Ups video and every book I could find. I told her she was done with diapers. She really did not like that and kept begging me for a diaper. I tried to make being a big kid sound super awesome.  She loved t… Read how I did it…

How to control my diabetes
It took me
15 years
It made me
Satisfied.

How I did it: I mostly followed Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's advice.  I am not disciplined enough to do it perfectly, but some is better than nothing. I got my A1c in the mid-5's without a lot of hypos and that's all I can do, I think, without becoming a robot. Get the book, Diabetes Solution.

finish my degree (read all 17 entries…)
So close, yet so far

It’s just about impossible, with these two small children, to get a long enough stretch of time to myself to finish any homework. I had a horrible dream about it last night, although it was pretty different from what’s going on in reality (that I forgot to go to several of my classes, was in danger of flunking out, etc.), but it illustrates just how much this thing is f*ing with my mind.

I only have seven more assignments to complete and a final exam. I don’t see how I can pass this exam. I can’t seem to do a single homework assignment right the first time and the exam is twice as long. Oy. I have to prioritize this more and arrange for babysitting so I can MAKE it happen before the deadline.

join a CSA (read all 2 entries…)
I did it, on a very small scale

Sort of. It’s an organic food delivery service, and I got their tiniest box, but it’s a step in the right direction! I’ve decided that I don’t cook well enough yet to do a full on meat CSA even though that is what I eventually want to do. It can wait until both my kids are old enough to eat grownup food.
