My husband can sleep as soon as his head hits the pillow...and he has no problems pooping.
When my sister was potty training her little girl Reese she would tell Reese that if she pooped on the potty she would get to call one of the Disney princesses or Dora the Explorer or whoever else she fancied talking to that day. After Reese had a successful potty on the toilet she would choose a princess and Meg would call them. Reese would loooooove talking to one of the "princesses" (usually me, or my sister or one of Megs friends). AND when they went to Disneyland she walked right up to Cinderella and said, "HI, it's me Reese, remember when I called you when I went potty?" Cinderella, bless her heart, did not skip a beat and said, "oh yes of course how are you Reese? I am so proud of you for using the potty." Awesome right?!
Big Daddy thought this was awesome and since then EVERY TIME I spend a little time in the bathroom and have success he says, "OH yay good for you, should we call Cinderella or Snow White?"
yep...it's H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S...not!

OMG I am so glad I continued reading after your warning! Hilarious. It's okay, we can talk about poop on your blog, just not on mine since poop and food really don't go hand in hand....
oh man! too funny!
here is my email address for 'good mail' ashley.broomall{at}yahoo{dot}com
i totally screwed it up last time.
hehehehe...wish we'd thought of the princess phone calls when we trained out girl. I wonder who the Boy would want to call? Batman? Spiderman? Might be hard to get those guys on the phone...
That is so funny! Who should you call? :)
That darn 3-0! I'm scared to find at what changes are in store for the big 4-0.
hee hee hee! I'm giggling! And that's a GOOD tip . . . too bad I didn't have THAT one in my brain when I was training the child!
awww that is too cute!! I love that cinderella was soo good about it! haha! They must get kids saying allllll kinds of stuff!!
And Im sorry you are not a "regular" #2-er. That stinks. Or doesnt really i suppose. But (no pun intended) i know that has got to be soo frustrating!! Maybe the sleeping and the #2-ing are linked somehow?
Oh you poor thing! Pregnancy does that to me. It really sucks! Hope things get moving soon! :)
L.O.L. Seriously. Out loud.
And frankly...(it's nice to hear that I'm not the only one!)
Calling Cinderella sounds like much fun! And I still have at least one to train!
Poor you! I've had that problem before, and I do sometimes still. not fun.
*hug* I wouldn't find that funny either. My husband poops like clockwork....me? Not so much. But it sounds like I get a few more hours of shut eye than you do. I do hope this gets better soon.
hilarious.
I'm with you on all points above. I haven't slept very well since I was a teenager. Takes forever to go to sleep then it's toss and turn. I won't go into prob #2. Funny though it was #2. :)
That is hilarious - well not really for you that is. Only 3 hours sleep? I had a similar problem a while back and I tried everything. Then I tried meditation tapes and they were so boring I must have just gone to sleep. Habits are hard to break or maybe you are just one of those people who do not need the sleep.
Oh how hilarious. Girl, I totally feel ya - just wait for the big 4-0! Did I just say that? Nah! :)
Men! Love how they can joke about things when it's never something they have to deal with. But they are funny! That would be something my hubby would say. Oh and don't feel like you're the only one, I have that same problem too. I've been suggested every solution in the book but, nope, didn't work!
Too funny - our household is not offeneded by poop, in fact we are quite open about it :) I am, after all, a celiac.
I, too, have issues sleeping w/ out meds, but I've found that books on tape and reading some of the harder to understand books in the Old Testament put me right to sleep!
this for sure means we are BFF.
What a blessesdly honest post...
On all levels I think I can sympathize.....
(on some strange level I feel like I have been unintentionally invited into your inner circle)
OMGosh LMAO@ the last line!!! i am sorry your not regular dont hate me but i dont have that problem...it's the 12 cups of coffee i drink every morning! ;-)
LOL... your husband is so mean!!!!!
Hehehehehe! That is hilarious!
Laughing soooo hard! I just love your man! We would get along.
I have an aunt who can't "go" unless she's at the store. That is her happy place. Maybe you just need to visit your happy place.
LOL that is awesome because I am in the same boat as you are :)!! I'll have to remember to call one of the princesses next time LOL
potty mouth.
my no-pukey meds do this to me. I'm still not sure which is worse.
Have you tried Colace yet? I take two everyday. It helps.
I hadn't heard from you in awhile and was about to call big daddy and see if you're ok. Fibercon? Magazine?
do you ever feel super tired in the day? and then can't sleep at night? you seem like you're energetic enough, but those things are some of the symptoms of thyroid disease (which i have, but i'm a little more regular lol). of course, they are symptoms to a million other things, too. have you asked your doctor? hopefully you'll get it sorted and can get good rest and movements. btw if you get your thyroid tested and they say it's normal...ask for the results. if it is around 3.0 or higher in number, you prob need thyroid meds even if they tell you you are 'normal'
Next time HE has success, call me. Then hand him the phone and I will praise him in my best Snow White voice. That'll learn him. :)
you crack me up! i did not click away and laughed with you all the way...I am so sorry about the probs...my head hits the pillow and I am out, and hubs hates it, and, well, the other, I am fine...sorry! Certain cereals work well! try some!
And we really should meet for coffee someday soon! we are too close not to! I am sure the coffee shop folks would love our banter!
Lori
hilarious!!!!! glad u shared!!
i know the feeling. i have upped my exercises and it has helped in both departments! and it is helping me lose weight!
ummmm actually...it is pretty funny!
LOL! That is REALLY funny!!! Your hubby rocks! Sorry, but it's true. IT'S FUNNY!
OMG! That is too funny!
Nice.
I bet everybody kept on reading, for curiousity sake.
But for those who didn't --boy, did they ever miss out!! :)
You are a HOOT!!
I so appreciate your honesty and feel like we are family now! heehee! I've always battled with my bowels as well. It stinks. One thing you might want to try is flaxseed oil in pill form (or ground flax which you can toss in food). Hope you get to call that princess soon.
LOL that is too funny!! Your husband has the same sense of humor as mine does.
Not a good sleeper here, either. Used to have the other prob, but it seems to have gotten better a few years ago.
The sleep, though. I have to medicate most of the time! I seriously cannot sleep.
There's just something so special about turning 30, isn't there? Haha, I'm right there with you and have no problems with the poop talk. Unfortunately since the big 3-0 last August it might be my most knowledgeable subject. Good luck and get some sleep!
My advice - melatonin and pear juice - works every time for me
:)
Isn't aging the greatest?
TOO FUNNY! THAT IS HILARIOUS actually!
That regularity thing can be a real b*tch. I have always had problems in that department, too. It's always worried when I can't remember the last time I had a trip because it could be an unpleasant experience! Now I'm never going to be able to go without thinking of princesses! I think Snow White is my favorite. :)
Oh.my.gosh. We are the same person. I was SUCH a sound sleeper. I mean, like through a train passing. Not since kids. Never. Never sleep anymore.
#2ing...yeah. Right there with ya, only without the princess names!
I have trouble in the poop dept. too. BUT, I did get to call Princess Aurora tonight, so I'm a happy camper.
Oh my goodness you crack me up! I do feel sorry for you not being able to sleep though...I'm just like your hubby. Give me 20 sec and I'm out.
The poo thing...you sound like my daughter! Did you read my post today?? LOL. Perhaps you need a suppository! :-) I've also done Mirilax too - and it's for adults as well. Just an FYI.
Thanks for the warning - I'm a little shy about posting stuff like that too. I can sleep like a trooper, but not so much in the bathroom dept either and my husband thinks it is the biggest accomplishment because he can go every day = big whoop!
I've tried every remedy known to man and the best one for me is Miralax.
oh how I wish I would have read this before we had our awesome coffee date today...I would have totally razzed you....this is too funny!!
I don't know, it made me chuckle, hehe.
Now that is hilarious! I'd love to stay and chat, but since I'm almost finished with my coffee I'll be sure to tell Sleeping Beauty to expect your call soon;)
Here's to a fab-fiber-ulous weekend!
OH that was stinking awesome! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny!
she is a genius i tell you! that is an awesome bribe too. free and FABULOUS!
OMG hON, that is hilarious!!!
Too friekin funny! I'm so glad I kept reading.........
So, who'd you call?
LOL
=0D
HILARIOUS! I wonder how it works if I chose Ariel?
You gotta love a good poop, especially when there are princesses involved. You must feel so special! LOL!
that was HIL-ARSE-ous!! I think most women have this issue!! I stopped sleeping at age 30 as well!
You are right the responses are so funny! You never did answee who you'd call.. :)
At least your hubby can joke about it.. mine pretends that no one has these functions... it kills him to even say the word regular. He'd die that I even wrote this.. lol
AH! The Poop Post!!!
Well you can always have a Poopy Party! We did that for The Bella, balloons, confetti, noisemakers.....
Because while everyone poops, not everyone has an easy time of it!!
It's childbirth....Bithing a baby messes up everything! And I am glad so many are happy to chit chat about poop. I blogged about poop once and I thought I scared everyone off...Maybe it was too early in the relationship!
ROFLMAO. That's awesome.
For me, I started eating plain vanilla yogurt, kashi granola, and one of those little diced pinapple cups all mixed together. I drink the juice out of the pineapple first....
and BAM like clockwork when I get home I get to call a princess...
LOL. Awww...We talk about poop at my house all the time. I get to call a princess at least 3 times a day. It's good my cell has all those anytime minutes, I'm pretty regular.
Ok...so I'm catching up on your blog! This one is too funny.
My hubs is the same way...actually can sleep before even hitting the pillow...but lately I am the same way...thank goodness. In the #2 dept....it takes him a good 30 minutes....me 2 minutes tops!
Just had to share....cuz we're friends!
