Emmalicious aka Peepee pants girl

I first want to apologize for being so whiny in my last blog. I sometimes wonder if I don't hate being on state insurance so badly that I imagine other people looking down on me. I was very frustrated, however, at how hard it is to find someone who will treat me. I ended up speaking with hubby and telling him that I will continue to see my GP even if I have to self pay. Most doctors give heavy discounts for self pay anyway. Hubby and I self pay our dental stuff as well so whatever.

On to the missy. She is driving me nucking futs. Seriously. She wakes up dry from all naps and nighttime. She poops on the potty 100% of the time. She has, however, taken to peeing her pants almost EVERY day - sometimes 2-3 times per day. I try not to get angry. I try to remember that she isn't even 3 yet and that she just turned 2.5 last month. I just get so frustrated because she waits too long to go. She will say "Peepee" and I will tell her ok, take your pants off and go (which she is fully capable of) and then she will play for another 20 minutes until she cannot possibly hold it in anymore and either pee in her pants or pee on the bathroom floor on the way to the pot. I've tried to make sure she gets to the bathroom on the first "peepee" signal or cry, but sometimes it's darn near impossible to break away from what I'm doing.

I think also that she is strong willed. When I say strong willed, I mean that she will not do what you tell her to unless she feels that if she doesn't do it some bodily harm may come to her. If I start counting, generally she is all about doing what she is told. She pushes EVERY boundary imaginable. Just now, I told her to stay away from the dog. What does she do after I tell her to stay away? Oh yes, you know it...she goes to the dog. She has been nipped more than once. She doesn't learn so we have to generally keep her away from both of the dogs unless we are right there making sure she isn't biting them, poking them, pulling their tails, etc. In the dogs' defense, they have been very, very patient with her. Guinness will let her lay, climb, get in her face, but they both lose their cool after having their tails pulled and being bit. I've now decided that she has to be by my side every waking moment of the day because if not, she is into something or doing something she shouldn't.

I think what this all boils down to is that I'm slowly going insane. I don't think this bus has any more stops either so I hope to meet someone I know in Looney Town. I'll be there soon unless of course Miss Peepee Pants keeps telling me that she loves me like she just did. Then I'll just be sitting here in a pile of melt.
