Chaos continues

There is a reason I named the blog "McClure Clan Chaos".  Chaos is the key word.  It is the word that seems to reign over my life some days.  Days like today when I am trying to clean my kitchen thoroughly and do laundry.  We "camped" in a cabin in the rain over the weekend and had to walk through mud to get to the bathrooms for Nate's family reunion.  I am trying still to clean up from that.  I am also just crazy enough to try to continue working with Ariana on potty training.  I have no idea what possessed me to do such a thing on a day when I have so much cleaning and laundry to catch up on.  Probably Loki, the Norse God of Chaos.  I will blame it on a false idol anyway.  Since 10:30 am, Ariana has been through 5 pairs of underwear.  It is now 3:30.  I have set the timer for every 30 minutes for her to sit on the potty.  Every 30 minutes we sit on the potty.  Approximately 15 minutes after we try the potty, and 15 minutes before the next potty break, once an hour, she pees all over.  Or poops.  Even better.  I made a potty chart today and potty stickers as a reward and less than 1 hour after I made them, she ruined them.  Partially my fault for leaving them on the newly cleaned kitchen table, and mostly hers.  I just finished cleaning up another accident and was taking the towels and panties downstairs to put in the washing machine on a sanitary cycle.  I left the disinfectant spray on the table.  While I was stuffing the washing machine, she was spraying disinfectant all over the newly printed stickers and potty chart.  Such is the chaotic life of potty training.  Tomorrow will be better.
