Try...Even if You Don't Think You Have to!

I'm sure I learned it from my mother, but I've adopted this phrase as one of my many pearls of wisdom for the Boy.  I remind him that there is no bathroom in the car and send him off to "the potty" before each drive.

Lately, I've been taking my own advice.

We live in a 2 story house and just had new flooring put in our kitchen, hallway and bathroom downstairs.  This means that the toilet has been removed from said bathroom.  At 7.5 months pregnant with twins there is one thing I need to do A LOT and that is pee.  There is also one thing I dread doing and that is climbing stairs.  Unfortunately our only working toilet is on the upper level.

So lately I've been using my pre-cartrip advice anytime I need to come upstairs for something because I sure as heck don't want to have to make that ascent more than I need to.  Luckily my dad (our free plumber and general handyman) will be back in 2 days to reinstall the facilities downstairs.  We should have bought a ranch!
