Calvin had a very restless night. It’s really obvious when his pain meds wear off.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 7:39 AM
Calvin’s breakfast today: pureed holiday bean soup.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 7:51 AM
I wonder if I’m confusing Calvin when I shake my head rapidly back and forth sideways and say, “yes! yes!”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 8:22 AM
The holiday bean soup was a great success. Calvin ate at least 4 oz and probably would have consumed more if I had given it to him.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 8:22 AM
Like normally, he also enjoyed the cheerios.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 8:22 AM
His current project is holding the sippy cup I gave him and shaking it violently upside down.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 9:02 AM
@calvinsdad Indeed. Though, I was originally thinking more for exercise purposes :)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 9:04 AM
Calvin seems to be in a really good mood this morning. It’s technically time for his nap but he’s still happy.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 9:10 AM
Well, that was sudden. Time for nap NOW.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 12:51 PM
I think we have a washer that stretches jeans. My weight hasn’t dropped that much so it can’t be my fault my jeans are sagging :(
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 5:23 PM
Our dishwasher is leaking.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 8:25 PM
Just got back from book club and managed to get Calvin from car seat to crib without waking him :)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 8:37 PM
From daycare: “Calvin loved playing at the table with friends.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2010 8:37 PM
Daycare also commented that “he loved the lunch!” (which was more pureed holiday bean soup)
2011
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 7:37 AM
I suspect that Calvin asks for milk/water during meals just so he has another item he can build with.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 7:59 AM
I slept in till 7. Was going to get up at 6 to exercise but I decided being well-rested while alone with Calvin is more important.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 9:00 AM
I actually remembered to take out the garbage today before getting the email reminder.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 10:11 AM
I’m starting to like text messaging. @calvinsdad troubleshooted a furnace problem for me while in class. Handy :)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 10:12 AM
(I was feeling the need to put on socks which made me discover that our house was 65 degrees when it’s suppose to be 72.)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 10:13 AM
65 degrees isn’t horrible but I was worried it would get too cold at night if our furnace was actually broken.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 2:00 PM
Ever time I look at the interest rates for our savings accounts I want to cry.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 4:51 PM
I’m annoyed by how bad password rules are at our financial institutions. Only one allows special characters.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 6:07 PM
Just got home from running lots of errands.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 6:17 PM
Ever since Calvin saw _The Magic of Flight_, he’s refused to watch Elmo DVDs.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 6:31 PM
I think, but am not sure, that our programmable thermostat is crashing every time it hits a new time slot.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 6:32 PM
I’m changing tactics with potty training. Now Calvin gets 2 M & Ms when he goes. This makes it easier to offer a reward when we’re not home.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 6:32 PM
(It also allows me to use the TV to babysit him while I’m alone and taking sharp knives out of the dishwasher.)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 6:43 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun pouring from one cup to another using cheerios in the sensory table.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 6:43 PM
Calvin went potty somewhere . . . and I don’t know where . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2011 8:44 PM
Calvin actually played in the bathtub for 30 min. I don’t remember the last time he did that.
2012
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2012 7:43 AM
Calvin appears to have developed a phobia of the ceiling fan in his room. This is inconvenient.
2015
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2015 5:26 PM
I naively thought that end of year finances wouldn’t take the whole day . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2015 7:55 PM
The 2015 budget has been approved!
2016
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2016 6:59 AM
Well . . .both Calvin and Julian threw up last night so I guess we’re having another sick day.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2016 7:25 AM
On the upside, food finally tastes good again to me.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2016 1:47 PM
Our professional books have been packed away!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2016 2:16 PM
I made the mistake of sitting down and the mass market paperbacks are not packing themselves.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2016 5:45 PM
Calvin must still be sick. He only ate 2 tacos.
2017
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2017 8:05 AM
For SF allegedly being overrun with tech people, there’s an appalling number of sites who require _phone calls_ to get things done.
2020
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2020 11:53 AM
I’m trying to decide if I should drag the kids out of the house today. Julian seems significantly better but I’m not sure if I should take him out around other kids yet.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2020 3:24 PM
I pulled out my wedding notebook and noticed I have a 3.5″ floppy that says “Wedding 8/4/02” on it and I’m wondering what exactly is on the disk.
[When asked if we had something that could read a floppy.]
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2020 5:30 PM
Um, I’m not sure. I could probably figure out something if I was desperate. However, I’m pretty sure it was just the electronic copy of my notes which were in the binder and, bring paper, still readable.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2020 5:32 PM
There’s definitely data preservation lessons in that example . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 11, 2020 6:42 PM
Calvin did not realize we have an emergency stockpile of peanut butter but of course we do. (Hidden in a secret location known only to me.)
