Random thoughts for today from my run:
1. You might be a tad desperate to potty train your child when you download an iPhone app for potty training. Desperate or a genius. Time will tell.
2. How good a deal does it have to be to get a mom to buy eight boxes of fruit flavored snacks? Apparently 8 for $6 with an additional $4.50 off your groceries.
3. It’s hard to make a valentines day cake to surprise your kids when you accidentally put the cake mix back on the shelf when getting boxes of fruit snacks. And no, I don’t think I’ll make it from scratch.
4. What’s harder than trying to get a stubborn toddler to sit on the potty? (Answer: I don’t know. I haven’t found anything harder yet.)
5. Does anyone calibrate a treadmill before sending it to the store? I swear 6.0 mph is a lot easier at the gym.
6. I love Portlandia. And Netflix. Like chocolate and peanut butter, they are best together.
7. Skype. I’m not sure I am comfortable with it yet. It’s a bit awkward to video chat with engineering students from your home. But it works, and I don’t think they think I am too weird. Luckily I combed my hair and put on a clean shirt and makeup first.
8. When will they design a treadmill with an integrated web browser? Sure, there’d be typos. But judging by how long I spend on my iPhone’s browser each day, I could really get a lot of miles in while surfing.
9. How come my two year old takes two and a half hour naps at grandma’s house but only sleeps 45 minutes here? Something is not quite fair.
10. Crap! I forgot to throw in the laundry this morning!
Happy Friday, friends!
p.s. : still accepting nominations for names for my treadmill.

Yes, children and pets are oddly similar. Some ways children are a bit easier. They can go with you most places.

But I can lock mine in a cage and not go to jail! Alas, pets are perpetual 3 year olds. Children do grow up!

Yes, I have to remind myself that there are very few kids who go to kindergarten not knowing how to use the toilet. We still have three years before I’d need to cross that bridge. It will come.
