We had a teacher conference for Ada last Friday, and one for James the Tuesday before Ada’s. James has been doing great at drop-off until recently when he decided to revert back to crying and screaming and such. Distracting him with food has always worked in the past, but not so much now. He eventually [...]

…the shower broke. It is fixable by us, and not a plumber, but still. It was angry and spurting water all over the place. Good thing I work from home since I probably won’t take one now until lunchtime. More repairs will be made tomorrow–the same plumber to fix the bathroom sinks and a repairman [...]

It does not need to say “ow” everytime I step on the board. I have crappy balance. This is probably why I cannot walk on ice no matter how appropriate the shoes, and I’ve never understood how anybody could run in heels. The Wii asked me if I fall down often while walking. It put [...]

Mac is leaving to take our new mower in for repairs*. This errand is going to include picking up the Indiana Jones Lego game. The Star Wars one was so much fun. I’m looking forward to playing this one. That means that I need to squeeze in as much work as possible before dinner so [...]

This is going to have to be our next game. The Star Wars one was a lot of fun. We just got some Best Buy rewards too! Ada was playing on the deck earlier, tripped and broke her fall with her face. Considering, it isn’t too bad, but she now has a fat upper lip.

Day 67: You don’t need to shovel it in. There more where that came from. Ada eats her pears with a shovel. Just…whatever. She’s my child. That’s the only explanation I have. I also taught her that before you eat bananas/apples/pears the sticker that comes on it must go on your cheek/nose/forehead. Mac ordered some [...]

Mac is moving the 360 into the bedroom so he has entertainment and pain distraction from his surgery that is tomorrow. I’m not nervous about the surgery, but I’m finding myself nervous about the recovery. You’d think that I was the one that is going through this. I will probably feel the same way that [...]

I don’t have a lot of game excitement moments anymore. Rock Band was a big excitement for me. The only future one that pops into my head is the Indiana Jones Lego game. I never play games on my desktop anymore either, opting to go back to my “consoles are for games” stance that I [...]

Orange Box is worth the purchase just for Portal. The game play is fun without being impossibly hard, but that isn’t the best part of the game. The best part of the game is GLaDOS*. The writing of the game is what made it fantastic. My favorite quotes by the computer trying to have you [...]
