I Forgive You Coach
Well I must say that I was very disappointed when we lost to LSU in November. I blogged that I blamed Coach Saban. All is forgiven now. Shutouts are awesome.

It’s a good thing I finished Ellie’s stocking a few weeks ago. It only took me 2 years. I still can’t decide if I like it or not, but Samantha likes it so that’s a good indication that Ellie will. She thinks it’s silly that Santa is popping up, and the bells are fun.
Read more →Merry Christmas
This Christmas is a shaping up to be a little different for us. We were planning to be gone most of the week after Christmas visiting various family. However, Ellie has had a high fever since Thursday 12/22 at 5pm. We visited the doctor Friday morning and discovered that she had a moderate ear infection in one ear. …
Read more →Baby Jesus
Samantha likes our Fisher Price Little People Nativity set. She carries baby Jesus around and I find him in all sorts of places. Today’s place? Under the foam sticker Christmas tree she decorated.
Read more →Pedialyte
I have never given my children pedialyte. However, I got an email a while back for a coupon. The email was pretty graphic, so I saved it so I could show all of you. (Lucky you!) I just couldn’t believe they would use images like that. Here’s the email in webpage form. And the images: Strangely enough, we could have …

I’m a big fan of keyboard shortcuts. In Windows, I knew that I could hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and then Spacebar to lock the screen in WinXP. I used that every time I walked away from the computer. I switched to a Mac at work in 2006. I never could find a way to use the keyboard to lock the screen without installing and …

Samantha must think that the chin is a prominent feature on the face. In every picture that she draws of a person, a chin is present. In this picture, she drew herself. She also draws hands facing downward.

Samantha had her Thanksgiving program at school this morning. She has been singing songs about Thanksgiving for a week or two. (Before that, it was silly songs about pumpkins and Halloween.) The latest song that’s in my head is “We Are Thankful” to the tune of “Frere Jacques.” We are thankful We are thankful For our …

It is said that bad things come in threes. I’ve had mine, so the near future looks bright. Friday morning right before I left for work, a giant plant reached out and stabbed me in the eye moaning “Feed me, Seymour!” Well, in reality, I reached for a toy that Ellie dropped and as I bent down one of the plants by the …
Read more →Check ups and animals
I took both girls to the doctor this week for some check ups. Samantha had a 4 year check up, and Ellie had her 18 month check up (is she really already that age?). I am reminded why I don’t take them together. I hardly remember what we talked about, and certainly didn’t remember to ask any of my questions. The doctor …
