WHAT A WEEK!!!!  Anyone who is reading this probably already knows, but I am finally back to typing after more than a week off because I broke my stupid elbow.  Yes.  Clumsy 33-weeks-pregnant woman slipped on some Sonic Apple Slush (do you think I can sue?) in my kitchen and fell on the right elbow and broke the dadgum thing.  It's not a bad break, or else I would not be functional at all (can't take painkillers for reasons of allergy and pregnancy).  It is a fracture of the radius near the joint.  I will not be getting a cast, thank the Lord!  Still it is very hard to be all the things I need to be with only one arm.  If I am a very good girl it will heal completely by the time Audrey is born.  Then to top it all off I got a wicked bronchial infection that is being very slow to clear up.  I have put Paul through the wringer this past week and he has been wonderful.  He is at the HEB right now and will be home to cook dinner soon, then help with laundry and cleaning up.  Super dad!  This was one of the hardest weeks of my life and probably his as well.  Pregnancy hormones + broken elbow + severe bronchitis - painkillers x two weeks of dirty dishes = miserable Mommy!

Potty training is going very very very well.  We have certainly thrown enough curveballs Katelyn's way, but she is overall doing quite well with it.  She has occasional setbacks, mostly it seems out of frustration with Mommy, who is not very much fun right now.  Some of my friends thought I was insane to keep going with the potty training after the illness/injury happened, but let me tell you, it is a WHOLE lot easier to get a pull-up on a wiggly toddler than a diaper using only your non-dominant hand.  Diapering is a two-handed business for sure.  I did abandon the traditional training pants for convenience's sake - I simply can't clean up the messes right now or manage that much laundry.

Well, I can only type or write or anything for a little while before it is time to ice the arm and put it back in the sling.  So long...
