Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2009 7:02 AM
5 has already thrown up today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2009 7:48 PM
Just got back from walking with a friend while @calvinsdad took care of Calvin.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2009 7:48 PM
Calvinsdad and I are going to eat “anniversary” ice cream tonight.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2009 7:59 PM
We have a babysitter scheduled later this week so we can go out to eat to celebrate but I thought we should still have a little treat today.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2010 1:04 PM
Off to clean house. Fortunately, I have a fun audio book to listen to.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2010 2:17 PM
Well, I have half the house cleaned. Now to pick up Calvin.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2010 4:08 PM
I just got Calvin’s dinner ready for the babysitter tonight when @calvinsdad and I have our anniversary dinner.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2010 4:23 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed pushing around toy carts [little toy shopping carts] today :)”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2010 6:14 PM
Calvin just slingshot creamed spinach all over the back kitchen wall.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2011 7:54 AM
Our stupid whole house fire alarms went off at midnight for no apparent reason.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2011 7:54 AM
Calvin slept soundly through the fire alarm until I yanked him out of bed. Even then, he went back to sleep pretty quickly.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2011 2:01 PM
From daycare yesterday: “Calvin had fun playing with babies.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2011 5:18 PM
@calvinsdad Good luck :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2011 5:43 PM
From daycare: “Calvin liked dancing silly today.”

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2013 5:18 PM
I really should just leave dosa making to the restaurants.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2015 2:12 PM
Julian appears to be taking decent-length naps today!

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2017 4:24 AM
Julian is sick :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2017 5:26 PM
Calvin says he might be able to pass for an adult if he had a hat, briefcase, long coat, and kid with him.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2018 10:05 AM
I’m really impressed. Not only is this Safeway gas station actually using the chip on my card, it also asked for my credit card’s PIN! https://t.co/X6zpnxRNPs

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2018 11:11 AM
We’re at Edmonds city park which has a splash area including dams!

2022

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2022 2:54 PM
Google maps needs a new search that only shows gas stations that allow kids to use their restrooms :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2022 4:56 PM
It turns out after entering the “small child” plea we were allowed to use the “closed” restroom.

However, we need more restrooms in this country. It was bad before the pandemic but the situation is now even more dire.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 4, 2022 4:56 PM
We’re home!

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2009 7:23 AM
Calvin woke up before 5:30 today. He eventually got back to sleep but I don’t think I did. I did manage to snooze until 6:45.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2009 8:04 AM
Calvin has started punctuating conversation with joyful squeals. At least, we think the squeals are joyful.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2009 8:07 AM
Maybe Calvin’s getting the hang of rolling over. He just did it again.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2009 9:52 AM
Calvin and I just got back from our morning walk. It’s getting hot outside.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2009 4:18 PM
5 is throwing up all over the house today :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2009 5:15 PM
I’m headed off to pick up Calvin and then travel down to Erie for our Science Fiction Book Club night.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 7:29 AM
Calvin got up early again so we went for a quick walk before breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 2:48 PM
I just saw a tooth I had never seen before in Calvin’s mouth.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 2:49 PM
It’s a fully erupted upper right molar.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 2:51 PM
This would explain his recent crankiness at night and clingyness during the day.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 2:53 PM
To all appearances, Calvin just opened the sliding glass door to let 5 out.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 3:06 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed popping bubbles outside today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 3:07 PM
I think our next task is to teach Calvin to swat the flies that come in when he opens the door with his beloved fly swatters.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 3:11 PM
Once I had to constantly put Calvin’s hat on his head when outside. Now he wants to wear it everywhere.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 6:26 PM
Calvin is eating Spaghetti Alfredo with his fingers.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 8:14 PM
Once again, @calvinsdad manages to put Calvin to bed when I failed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2010 8:14 PM
Now I’m off to fold laundry and clean out the fridge *sigh*

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2011 4:27 PM
It was finally “cool” enough that I could take Calvin to the park again. He enjoyed it immensely.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2012 7:37 PM
Calvin chose not to eat his supper tonight because he didn’t like it. Unfortunately, it’s the rest of us that suffer due to his hunger.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2013 7:42 AM
Today’s topic: How fractions are useful for making pancakes.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2013 5:21 PM
I made pasta from scratch and it actually turned out ok.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2013 5:23 PM
Huh, that’s an impressive amount of hail.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 3, 2015 3:33 PM
Julian had his 4-month appointment. Weight 14 lbs 15 oz (35%), length 26″ (80%), head circumference 44 1/2 cm (98%).

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2009 8:03 AM
Calvin rolled over again during tummy time :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2009 8:12 AM
And he just rolled over again. He seems to do it multiple times in one day followed by days of not rolling over.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2009 9:25 AM
Calvin and I just got back from a good nap/walk.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2009 10:54 AM
It was probably a mistake to try to take a shower a few minutes before Calvin’s next scheduled feeding.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2009 5:25 PM
We had a big excursion today. First the library, then Target, and finally Costco.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2009 5:26 PM
I’m not impressed by the selection of toys at Target. They don’t seem designed to foster imagination.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2010 11:29 AM
Ok, I’m happy with Dell again. They finally got my service tag transferred and are ordering a replacement motherboard for me.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2010 8:53 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed looking at pictures and making animal sounds today!”

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2011 7:00 PM
Calvin grabs a tree branch, waves it, and says, ‘it’s windy mommy!’

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2011 7:04 PM
Calvin is apparently scared of crickets.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2011 7:46 PM
From daycare: “Calvin loved playing in the water.”

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2012 4:20 PM
It’s very hard to yell at Willow (for scratching furniture) with enough feeling while, at the same time, avoid scaring Calvin.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2013 2:00 PM
I’m finding it much easier to concentrate on reading manuals when I’m pacing.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2013 3:32 PM
Calvin took a nap a preschool today. I don’t remember the last time he did that.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 2, 2018 6:57 PM
Julian has paused his bike riding to admire the train.

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2009 8:40 AM
Today I was so busy entertaining Calvin that I got in the shower with my glasses on. I suppose I should be thankful I wasn’t clothed also.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2009 11:42 AM
We’re back from Sabbath School and Calvin is playing with his activity link gym.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2009 1:45 PM
We just got inside from spending almost an hour lying under a tree.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2009 1:45 PM
The only times I’ve heard Calvin giggle are when he’s outside.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2009 1:45 PM
In other news, it took 6 pumpings to get 3 1/2 oz of milk.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2009 7:08 PM
We’ve been trying to give Calvin a bath for the last couple of days but he kept falling asleep. Tonight is the night.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2009 7:54 PM
I have to keep waking Calvin up the entire time I was trying to feed him yet we get up stairs to bed and he’s wide awake.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2010 1:29 PM
I think I might save time when grocery shopping if I just ordered one of everything from the produce department.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2010 5:56 PM
Calvin really likes chilled tomato and bean soup. Of course, almost everything tastes good with fresh herbs.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2011 12:30 PM
Went to the Boulder Bookworm and got all kinds of exciting books for Calvin :)

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2016 7:08 PM
My oven has forgotten how to bake :(

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2017 7:08 PM
I really love the fog.

2021

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2021 12:59 PM
Well, today’s name fail. TransUnion doesn’t allow “special characters” in ones name when freezing your credit report. Nor do they provide an error message when you do so. Instead, I got a blank page and had to guess my name was the issue.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 1, 2021 1:00 PM
On the upside, credit freezes are a lot easier to add now than they were four years ago.

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2009 4:26 PM
10 min of hot compresses followed by 20 min of pumping and all I got was 10 mL.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 7:26 AM
Just got back from a short morning walk.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 7:27 AM
I’ve decided to take it easy today and skip church.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 7:57 AM
Calvin’s a little cranky. Maybe skipping church wasn’t a good idea . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 8:52 AM
Calvin likes carrying a picture of 5 around with him.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 9:09 AM
Calvin is insisting that @calvinsdad go outside with him.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 11:36 AM
Just got back from the Sandstone Ranch Park in east Longmont. _Very_ nice.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 11:37 AM
Unfortunately, Calvin fell asleep on the way back (less than 10 min) and now I’m afraid his nap schedule has been messed up.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 1:29 PM
Still trying to convince Calvin he should take an afternoon nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 4:16 PM
Calvin did eventually nap but later than usual so now our afternoon schedule is off.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 7:58 PM
Once again Calvin went to bed without fussing and just a couple sips of water from his bottle.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2010 8:00 PM
Why is it always so hard to menu plan? Just one more day to figure out . . .

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2011 9:45 AM
Calvin is enthralled with _Richard Scarry’s Best Story Book Ever_. He’s been thumbing through the pages for 10+ min.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2013 6:27 PM
I’m feeling an urge to organize, or at least inventory, Calvin’s Legos. I should probably resist.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2016 4:27 PM
I really, really, REALLY hate calling people.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2016 4:43 PM
So much truth here: https://www.scarymommy.com/21-real-parenting-pro-tips I will say the bar for Julian has been scarily lowered.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2016 4:43 PM
I’ve been trying to foist small amounts of TV on Julian and he just isn’t interested.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2017 5:28 PM
I think driving in San Francisco is more like a video game than normal driving.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 31, 2018 5:53 PM
Ugh, that was a terrible night. Julian slept fine but Willow meowed off and on for hours. No idea why. She had food, water, a clean litter box, and people to sleep on.

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2009 4:08 PM
Well, just got back from the dr and it appears I have the beginnings of mastitis.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2009 4:08 PM
Doctor thinks I should up my pumping again until it goes away :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2009 8:12 PM
Calvin fell asleep in my arms at 7 and appears to be down for the night. I’m afraid this will be a very early morning tomorrow.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 2:22 PM
Very unhappy at Dell right now. They mixed up my service tag so I can’t get technical support.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 2:23 PM
The service tag department likely won’t open until Monday.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 2:25 PM
My new Vostro 320 is crashing anytime a USB _storage_ device is attached. Nor will it go past the BIOS screen.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 2:25 PM
I’m particularly cranky because this was the time I had designated to vacuuming the carpet so now I have nothing to show for my time.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 4:22 PM
I’m feeding Calvin his snack while he sits on the potty. Not sure it makes a differences but I figure it can’t hurt.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 4:22 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had a wonderful experience tasting Potato Salad today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 4:46 PM
Speaking of food, Calvin has been eating almost all the lunch I send every day for the past week or so.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 4:46 PM
Calvin actually let me vacuum the floor without insisting I hold him the entire time!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 6:01 PM
I think Calvin just said his 1st phrase: eet nana (eat banana).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 6:01 PM
It was phrased as a request which the mean mommy said no to.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 8:53 PM
Decided to go ahead and update my BIOS . . . not convinced this will help.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2010 8:48 PM
Well, the good news is it didn’t break anything worse. The bad news is neither did it fix the problem.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2011 8:10 AM
Calvin feels the need to feed his dumptruck duplos before Calvin eats his own breakfast.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2012 8:18 AM
I went upstairs to see why Calvin was taking so long in the bathroom and it turns out he decided to take a bath . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2012 3:56 PM
Well, in the amount of time it took me to run from the grocery store back to the car, Calvin, I, and our groceries became completely soaked.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2012 3:57 PM
I’m literally dripping.

2021

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 30, 2021 10:58 AM
I have sent Calvin to the kitchen to make hot chocolate for me (by telling him he can also have some). Except he reports we’re out of chocolate chips and now I can hear experimentation happening.

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2009 10:28 AM
It’s a wonderful cloudy day in Colorado. Perfect weather for our morning walk.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2009 2:57 PM
It took 40 minutes after I lost my internet connection for Qwest to realize that it was their problem. Happily, I’m back online now.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 7:36 AM
Calvin woke up at 6:30 so we went out for a quick walk before breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 3:34 PM
It’s raining really hard here at the moment.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 3:35 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed jumping in the pillow pit today :)”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 3:40 PM
I love watching storms :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 5:30 PM
Calvin was very hyper this afternoon.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 5:30 PM
I just saw Calvin use the shape sorter correctly.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 6:11 PM
Calvin and I are having a green meal: broccoli, spinach ravioli, and kiwi.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 8:02 PM
Calvin appears to be weaning himself from his nighttime bottle.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 8:16 PM
42 items on the hold shelf at CVR. How much does the staff hate me?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2010 9:28 PM
Ok, finally finished preparing for work tomorrow.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2011 8:51 AM
Whew, finally got Calvin off to daycare. Breakfast did not go well this morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2011 2:53 PM
From daycare yesterday: “Calvin had fun dancing today”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2011 2:53 PM
From daycare today: “Calvin liked playing bowling”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2011 2:53 PM
In other news, this is the 2nd day in a row he hasn’t taken a nap at daycare.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2011 4:27 PM
It’s 80 degrees in the house and Calvin just insisted I put his green fleece on him. He must be related to my mother.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2012 10:37 AM
Calvin,”I want chocolate [for snack]” Me,”No, chocolate isn’t an appropriate snack.” Calvin,”I wasn’t talking about an appropriate snack.”

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2013 7:01 PM
Ended up buying 14 children’s books and 2 Lego sets at the thrift store today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2013 8:08 PM
I’ve decided it’s time to weed the board books. Kind of sad though.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2013 8:15 PM
Since keeping track of discards in LibraryThing, I’ve discarded 288 books. Though, we still own 1127.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2013 8:15 PM
It just seems wrong to discard but “books are for use” and someone else can use them more than us now.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2013 8:59 PM
@calvinsdad I don’t think buying more books is going to be a problem. Shelf space. Now that could be a problem.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2016 5:34 PM
Oh look, another molar. This explains the last couple of nights.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2017 9:44 AM
Julian has reached the stage where he seriously paged through picture books and “reads” the story.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2017 7:21 PM
The Roomba is really outdoing itself tonight in getting stuck.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2018 11:32 AM
I can’t figure out what this “Seattle Freeze” is about. First, one neighbor randomly gives Julian a picture book and now another gives tomatoes from his garden.

2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2019 8:12 PM
I made rhubarb cherry sorbet today: 12 oz rhubarb cooked in 2/3 cup water and 1 cup sugar. When soft, puree with 10 oz frozen (unsweetend) pie cherries and freeze in ice cream maker.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 29, 2019 8:13 PM
Probably could have gotten away with 3/4 cup sugar instead of 1 cup.

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2009 10:21 AM
Our home internet connection was being spotty this morning so I drove to the library to work today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2009 5:44 PM
Calvin finally went through all his size 1/2 disposable diapers. Now on to the next size.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2010 6:04 AM
Calvin only got 9 1/2 hrs of sleep last night :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2010 2:02 PM
Ugh, just found a sticky stucco-like Calvin-sized hand print on my poor piano.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2010 9:23 PM
Just spent the last 1 1/2 hr working on my science fiction reader’s advisory presentation for Friday.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2010 9:23 PM
Too many fun books.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2011 8:09 AM
How does Calvin manage to (accidentally) splash strawberry puree from his seat to my computer screen?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2011 8:11 AM
Oh, and apparently I forgot to put the tarp under his chair this morning . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2011 7:36 PM
You think herding cats is hard? Try herding a cat and a toddler.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2011 7:36 PM
Both 5 and Calvin dashed towards the busy main road at the same time. I picked up 5 under one arm and Calvin under the other.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2011 7:36 PM
Neither were pleased with me.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2012 1:24 PM
Calvin decided to join me, while I was playing, in the middle of song service. Then he rolled his cars back & forth on the platform. *sigh*

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2013 9:32 AM
Our weather outside looks very Washingtonian today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2013 3:14 PM
I might have a little bit of a book problem.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2015 2:10 PM
I bought 6 more pacifiers in preparation for tonight.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2015 4:01 PM
The problem with glitter glue is it takes a very long time to dry.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2015 5:26 PM
My Gmail is down. Whatever shall I do?

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2018 4:33 PM
We’re at Matthews Beach Park today. There’s a swimming area but Calvin doesn’t like the water plants and Julian seems dubious about the whole concept of water. So they’re mainly playing with sand.

2021

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2021 7:25 PM
Well, I stepped wrong and now apparently have a 5th metatarsal fracture (at least, I’m pretty sure that’s what they said). I get a boot and crutches.

[When asked how long it would take to heal.]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2021 7:44 PM
Ummm, not sure. They scheduled a podiatry appointment but the earliest they could get me in was on the 11th. Overall, it’s a pretty minor break though, I think.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2021 9:11 PM
Ok, this is what the chart officially says, “Acute nondisplaced fifth metatarsal base fracture.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 28, 2021 9:11 PM
Sadly, I don’t see a way to access the x-rays online.

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2009 7:22 AM
This is weird. I feel mostly awake so far.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2009 11:55 AM
Just got back from Calvin’s 4 month Dr appointment.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2009 11:56 AM
Calvin is 15lbs 13 oz (75th%), 26 in (80th%), and has a head circumference of 42cm (50th%).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2009 11:57 AM
The doctor also made me feel better about not using bottled water for formula calling the ADA’s recommendation “hogwash” :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2009 4:40 pm
Today is my first day in phasing out pumping. I’m going down from 5 to 3 pumping sessions.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2009 5:51 PM
Apparently Calvin was cranky at daycare today. Now back home he seems pretty subdued. I’m blaming the shots he got today.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2010 4:21 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had a wonderful splash day playing with elephant pails!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2010 5:06 PM
Calvin seems to be very hungry today.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2011 3:49 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun playing with ropes today :)”

Today was the first day in a long time that it was cool enough to go to the park.

Whew, got more sleep last night. I think I might be human again.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2015 3:48 PM
The office has been picked up! (Special thanks goes to Julian who decided to take a 2 hr nap this afternoon.)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2015 9:14 PM
Julian seems to think that mommy only needs sleep every other night. He has already woken up multiple times.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2015 9:16 PM
Also, is competitive pacifier flinging an Olympic sport?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2017 7:56 PM
This has been an interesting week so I delegated story time to Calvin. He’s such a good big brother.

I needed tomatoes for tacos so the kids “biked” to the local corner market.

Today at breakfast I met a couple from Longview.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 27, 2019 9:25 PM
Last night on the cruise ship and I’m both ready to go home and not ready at the same time.

Calvin seems to be cranky awfully early this morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2009 8:09 AM
I’m debating whether or not to go on a walk this morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2009 11:28 AM
We didn’t go walking. Calvin went to sleep in his crib instead.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2009 3:24 PM
Apparently Calvin’s nap was fated to end early. First 5 starting meowing up a storm which woke him up and then @calvinsdad called my phone.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2009 5:45 PM
Calvin just rolled over again! (at some point this will become old but it hasn’t for me yet)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2009 8:12 PM
Poor Calvin is obviously tired but refuses to go to sleep.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2010 11:07 AM
Just got back from a massage. Lovely :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2010 11:10 AM
Now I think I’m going to deal with our “to be filed” pile of documents that have been accumulating for many months.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2010 3:36 PM
How can such a little boy have such a big bladder?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2010 6:09 PM
Calvin likes polenta casserole.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2010 6:18 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed looking at pictures of animals today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2010 6:18 PM
In other news, Calvin only had a 40 min nap.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2011 8:02 AM
I can’t tell if Calvin is _eating_ his breakfast or just redistributing it among multiple surfaces.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2012 5:40 PM
Just got back from the “DVD Library”. Too bad it so far away. They now have a play kitchen that Calvin loves.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2013 4:28 PM
Whew, started to panic when Windows Explorer wouldn’t copy things from my backup. cmd had no such difficulties.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2013 4:35 PM
Ahh . . . Windows had them marked as read only. It all becomes clearer.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2013 6:58 PM
Because @calvinsdad hasn’t arrived quite yet, I can declare that supper is a heaping plate of cauliflower and broccoli with cheese sauce.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2013 7:08 PM
I just had a really surreal conversation with Calvin about what happens to him if @calvinsdad and I die (Calvin brought it up).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2013 7:36 PM

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2015 6;07 AM
Well, this is fun. Julian has decided it’s amusing to get up around 4:30.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2015 9:39 AM
Well, Julian’s naps seem very strange today but at least he’s sleeping.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2015 11:57 AM
The basement closet is ready to be used!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2015 5:12 PM
Setting up the computer for our au pair and part of me worries about giving her a Linux computer.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2017 5:18 PM
My book ended too soon. I’m not home yet :(

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2018 8:02 PM
We have inflated Calvin’s bike tires and taken a quick ride around the block! Calvin really needs a new bike but this one will work for now.

2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2019 7:55 AM
Yup, my shoes are still wet. I’m going to be walking in soggy shoes all day.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 26, 2019 2:15 PM
I’m working on planning the menu for next week and it appears I did not mange to miss all the hot weather.

Our strategy for getting to the beach extra early appears to have worked. I don’t remember the last time I saw such an empty parking lot.
