…and other random thoughts…<\/p>\n
I went to the ATM today and got a couple of the new orange $10 bills. I like the way they look just fine, but had to laugh when I came home and saw a very green $10 bill with a cartoon-ish drawing of Hamilton from the kid’s play money stash. The two don’t look much alike at all now. It’s interesting to think Nathan will probably never remember the time when money was not colored like monopoly money.<\/p>\n
Our neighbor’s grandkid was seen walking across our large planter box thing this afternoon. We used to see stray cats do that all the time, but never someone else’s 2-year-old child. The window was open so we could hear the mom creep over and whisper-yell to the kid to get down before “their daddy catches you.” Like George is some big, scary monster. The whole situation was actually funny to me, but probably would have been less funny if there were actually flowers in the planter box. <\/p>\n
My kids had a really bad evening tonight. While waiting for dinner to be placed on the table Nathan used his fork to etch circular scribbles and gouge fork-sized dots onto our kitchen table. (Luckily our table is a light color and is not a fancy table.) Emily apparently then followed his lead, made one long scratch across the table and THEN attempted to cover up the scratch by marking over it WITH AN INK PEN!!! WHAT could she have been thinking?? (They both lost fork privileges for a while over this one.)<\/p>\n
And speaking of Emily, she is all of a sudden talking to anyone who has 2 ears. She’s telling them her name, that she’s 5, she has a bike, she has a brother, his name is Nathan, he is 2, she loves him very much, … and then Nathan chimes in with he likes yellow, he likes balls, Emily’s birthday is in February, his birthday is in SEP-TEM-BER (which always must be said loudly and in 3 distinct syllables). WHERE did these kids come from?<\/p>\n
Oh, and I almost forgot, I got to be geeky today!! George was having some trouble with something he was coding for his current project and asked if I’d look at it with him. I let him talk me through the code, asked him a couple questions, suggested a few places to print out more debug messages and WAH-LAH, the problem was found. And this happened not just once, but twice!! He was responsible for finding the error both times but promises that my ‘help’ was very valuable. I still think maybe I was just sitting in the lucky chair because I know so very little about php and PostNuke modules. But since toddlers and logic don’t mix, it was a nice treat for me to get to use that part of my brain again for a little while today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
