Today was completely different than yesterday. I had such high expectations for today because yesterday was so easy. Unfortunately, I had wrong expectations which may have led to why I was so disappointed. After about a 50% success rate, I quickly learned that Aubrey needs my undivided attention during this process. A friend and her son come over to play today for about 4 hours and I am sure that was a bad idea on my part. First of all, I was busy talking to my friend and not fully paying attention to Aubrey's signals and secondly, she was having too much fun to stop and tell me she needed to go potty. Then, this evening I cooked a large meal for four of our friends and Aubrey's little buddy Micah came over again for dinner. Again, my attention was divided and at one point I completely forgot Aubrey was wearing underwear. By the time I realized I hadn't checked on her in a while, she was already wet.
By the end of the night, I am in one word EXHAUSTED. I feel a bit defeated and mad at myself for not being more attentive to Aubrey's needs. It wasn't her fault at all, it was mine for overbooking our day. Tomorrow is a new day and I know what I did wrong so hopefully I will be rested and renewed with a new mindset. Still in need of prayers…
