Got “teething biscuits” for Calvin. He seems to be enchanted though that’s probably the sugar that’s in it.

We finally have new blinds up in our living room! Cheap but _so_ much better looking.

@calvinsdad Oh, that sounds like a rough night. Are you going to be coherent in time for class?
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 6:57 AM
The good news about my arm giving me trouble while I sleep is I’m eager to get up early to exercise.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 7:31 AM
Calvin is putting Elmo in his Cat in the Hat hat and then placing it on his head.

Some random person parked a crew cab truck in front of our driveway. *grr* I had a hard time getting the Rav4 past it.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 10:51 AM
My desk has been cleared off!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 10:52 AM
In other news, the truck in front off our driveway has left.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 12:58 PM
Someone, maybe our eastern neighbor, shoveled our driveway/sidewalk for me! I was really dreading trying to do that with my arm problem.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 4:05 PM
We aborted a trip to the playground (too much snow on equipment) to gawk at animals at Petco instead.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 4:31 PM
Found 3 new “Curious George” books, 1 Dr. Seuss, and 1 train book at a second hand store today.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 4:32 PM
From daycare: “Calvin really enjoyed painting today. He sat with N and had a ball.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 6:02 PM
At Petco today we saw a white rat, sold for food, that had been returned because it faced down the snake it had been bought for and won.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 6:29 PM
I gorged on roasted vegetables for supper and am very full. Calvin was less enthralled.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2011 7:23 PM
Ok, I’m ready for Calvin to be asleep now. I can last another hr, really . . .
2012
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2012 7:02 AM
Ugh. I’m looking forward to Calvin sleeping through the night again.
2013
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2013 12:16 PM
Calvin, interrupting my work, “Mommy! Don’t say anything to me because I’m working on something.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2013 12:17 PM
In other news, the visit to the dentist went well and he actually got his teeth cleaned this time.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2013 1:24 PM
Calvin has paused the TV show he is watching in order to “call” someone on the the pretend phone. Now he’s said by and is back to the TV.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2013 6:53 PM
My new immersion blender is 6oz heavier than my old one. It’s also taller. I miss my older immersion blender *sigh*.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2013 6:53 PM
Also, the new one’s “nonstick guard” came out of the package cracked so I have emailed to get a replacement.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2013 6:55 PM
All complaints aside, the whisk did make great whipped cream.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2013 7:24 PM
Right before vacation Calvin and I listened to _Pie_ by Sarah Weeks. I promised Calvin we’d make a pie so tonight we ate Apple Pie.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2013 7:28 PM
My house was a lot cleaner before Calvin and I decided we should make a pie.

Today is not one of those days where I’m handling Julian’s clinginess well.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2016 12:57 PM
I mentioned Julian had a terrible night. @calvinsdad is surprised because he slept great.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2016 12:57 PM
Even though he was in the same room and Julian woke up 4 times including one solid hour of screaming.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2016 4:45 PM
I’m looking through the new Room and Board catalog. So much grey. Why? Obviously I’m too old to understand.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2016 4:46 PM
I still adore the Woodwind bookcases though: https://web.archive.org/web/20160321215012/https://www.roomandboard.com/catalog/living/bookcases-and-shelves/woodwind-86h-bookcase

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2017 8:45 AM
Definitely time to move. We used the heater this month so our bill is insane.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2017 8:16 PM
The lights are flickering.
2018
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2018 6:13 PM
Julian has just informed me that kissing an owie does not work if it has already been covered up by a band-aid.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2018 7:37 PM
It was amusing to watch Calvin try to clean the toilet without going anywhere near the toilet. Looked like very awkward contortions.
2020
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2020 2:57 PM
Well, if I need any confirmation Julian was sick: I found him almost asleep on the stairs and he didn’t complain when I carried him to bed.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2020 2:57 PM
Though, that also could have been more a result of coughing all night than being sick itself.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2020 5:03 PM
He’s still coughing but Ibuprofen did perk him up a fair amount, eventually.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 10, 2020 7:44 PM
Julian is still perky. Not sure if he’s getting better or the ibuprofen hasn’t worn off yet.
