Potty Training trauma

So I thought I was pretty much done with potty training but it turns out that Gwen has reverted. I feel like I have to start over or something. I'm almost tempted to just put her back in diapers and call it quits, next time she can potty train herself. I would rave on about how upset I am about this but I'm sure that no one wants to read about it, so I'll change the subject.
I just got back from a trip visiting my family. It was a lot of fun. It was very relaxing. The next fun thing I have planned other than my 5th year anniversary is Education Week. I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll come back from it uplifted and ready to handle life again. So I should have a lot of fun in a few weeks. If things go according to plan I'll also be taking some classes this fall. So we'll see how it goes.

A Nice Surprise

Yesterday Gwen wanted to bring her pajamas over to Grandma's house so she could sleep over. Grandma said it would be ok so Abe and I had the night to ourselves. He took me out to dinner and afterwards we went home. I was thinking we would just watch a movie or something but he told me that we were leaving again. I asked him where but he wouldn't tell me. Turned out that he bought tickets for a play. I love to go and watch plays. It was Pride and Prejudice. I was excited to see what they would do with it. They did a good job for how short they had to cut the book. There was no big scene changes the action led from one scene to the next quite quickly sometime in the middle of a sentence. Example night time Caroline Bingley says "I hope Jane recovers so that we don't get a visit from... (morning) Mrs. Bennet how good it is to see you." My all time favorite character was Mr. Collins. The actor who played him was good. He talked in a smarmy voice and it was just hilarious how he played it. But this is one of those things that you just had to be there. It was a wonderful night.
