Laws are great until you break them.
Ever wonder what you would do with $183.00?
Ever wonder what it would cost you to drive by a buss with the "stop" sign out?
Ever wonder what it feel like to have a cop leave his card on your front door and leave you a personal note saying the following?
Jason or Leah Rohlf
Please contact officer Smith at the Coralville PD at 555-5555 ASAP!
Right, so I wouldn't suggest finding out the answers to any of those questions. Lets just say yesterday afternoon was stressful. :)

Little boys, toilets & I... I mean me.. whatever!
I have no idea what the Lord is preparing me for in the area of little boys and toilets. It was quite a while ago that I posted a blog about having to get creative with a little guy and making homemade "cowboy" underwear. That was quite a day!
Then yesterday happened. It blows the last time right out of the water. I was babysittig a few boys at our house and one walked in the kitchen declaring "Wea, I have to go potty." So I attempted to hurry him into the bathroom, but things were not moving as fast as I had thought they needed to. We were attempting to take off his pants (because he doesn't quite aim right if they are still on! I found that out a few weeks ago!) HOWEVER, we didn't get things taken care of in time and I looked up to find him peeing on my bathroom wall. I screached and quickly scooped him up and held him over the toilet( during that time, I have an arc of a wet spot all along the wall from the sink to the toilet) while he finished his business. As things are winding down, he says "I have to poop!" I told him to hang on one minute and I would turn him around so he could sit on the toilet. As I'm turning him around I hear *grunt* and look down to see that he has already pooped on the floor and it hit the front of the toilet and there were skid marks down the front! FOR THE LOVE! Did I mention that Belle and another kid were both in the bathroom around my legs observing trying to watch and see what is going on? Anyway, they all start yelling "POOPY! POOPY!" I just stood there for a second taking in the pee dripping down my wall, the poop and skid marks on the toilet, the half nake boy in the bathroom and the other two kids wanting to be a part of the action. Quickly I come to my senses as the smell in the bathroom makes me have to get moving. We get everyone dressed, hands washed and out of the bathroom. Then I get out the LYSOL! I know I'm known to many as a germ freak, but really I have mellowed out being a mom. But this situation was beyond warm water or walking away! 15 minutes later everything was back in order and I began to wonder what big lesson God is trying to teach me with little boys and toilet training. I guess he only knows.

Razors have come a LONG way!
Well, I'm shy to tell people this (or maybe not since I'm posting it online!;) but I have used the same razor (with new blades of course!) since I started shaving at age 13. And I'm pretty sure it is an old one of my dad's. I have used a man's razor this entire time and haven't minded it at all.
Last week, I found out what I'm missing! I like to "coupon" and found a deal for a buy one/ get one free pack of disposable razors from gillette. Normally I wouldn't think twice about disposables because I have used one or two way back when and they were not that great. However! I'm loving these! I have no idea what it is about these "girl" razors.. .maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are designed for legs instead of a face! :) But they are AWESOME! I have hid my old razor and am enjoying my pack of disposable pink razors. ;)
