Calvin was extremely unhappy for the last couple of hours but is now sleeping peacefully.


2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2011 10:50 AM
I’m off to get an oil change for Motoko.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2011 4:28 PM
Calvin just said a spontaneous thank-you when I gave him a banana for snack :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2011 5:49 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed lining up ALL the cars in the room to make a train!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2014 9:21 AM
It’s raining in Gunbarrel and snowing in North Boulder.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2014 9:22 AM
Good thing I just happened to have Calvin’s snow clothes in the car (though I’m not sure they’ll make it out).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2014 12:23 PM
It’s been snowing the past couple of hours but just started sticking.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2014 5:47 PM
Straying from menu and having Butternut Squash Soup (https://web.archive.org/web/20140323022732/foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/butternut-squash-soup-recipe.html) and cheese bread (https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/cabot-cheddar-soda-bread-recipe)

I guess that was false labor. Regular contractions for a couple of hours and then poof, they’re gone.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2015 9:07 AM
I am preemptively grumbling about the time change.

Julian is very sad.

Wow, Julian is finally getting into TV! Hopefully this will make traveling much easier.

I thought Calvin was up because he was making noises but I went in and turned on the light and he still had his eyes closed.


2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2012 8:14 PM
I wonder if I’m unduly optimistic about how good our home is because I like it better than any of the homes we looked at today.

I’m working on migrating my blog and am ending up reviewing posts I wrote years ago.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2013 8:31 PM
I’m starting to believe that this earth would not be so populated if every new mother had a blog and thus could “remember” the 1st year.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2014 7:08 AM
I have a strong suspicion that my life would be easier if I dropped my – and went back to my maiden last name.(Still married, just no -)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2014 8:00 AM
Calvin just guessed broccoli has 3g of protein. I looked it up (raw, 1 cup chopped). He’s right.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2014 7:14 PM
I started packing up a small box for donation. Next thing I know, I have an empty closet.

Calvin has two teeth that are loose.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2016 5:22 PM
Julian appears to be a fan of millet and garbanzos.


2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2018 6:51 AM
Hm, today, for some inexplicable reason, I got on the Daly City BART. Fortunately, I had time to get off at Daly City and run over to the correct side for Millbrae.


2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2020 7:59 AM
I have added Christmas lights and stolen Julian’s lamp for the office today. I still want more light but I suppose this is sufficient for now.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2020 8:00 AM
I really miss the halogen torch days (aside for the fire hazard :) ).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2020 6:30 PM
Ok . . . I can tell the schools are taking hand washing very seriously because both my kids now have rashes on their hands. Maybe not the hand washing but that seems the most likely. We will now begin indoctrination into moisturizer.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2020 6:37 PM
Now to see if there’s been a run on Eucerin.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2022 11:54 AM
I’m stressing over trying to figure out how to do birthday parties again. Looked up how to do birthday invites which included this suggestion, “Include the name of the honoree.” So, at least I figured that part out on my own.

Maybe I shouldn’t have packed my suitcase quite so tightly. It’s a actually a little large and stuff is bouncing around.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 7:56 AM
Well, we’re packed. The Shuttle is suppose to arrive sometime between 8:35-8:50. Calvin is now eating solid food breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 8:01 AM
Calvin doesn’t seem very interesting in solid food this morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 10:08 AM
Through security. Now in line for bagel for lunch.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 11:20 AM
Calvin’s just like his daddy, fascinated by the outside airport activity.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 12:05 PM
Our plane is late and Calvin desperately needs a nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 2:21 PM
Arrived but waiting for everyone else to exit first.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 4:27 PM
Visited my grandparents and now on the way to Longview.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 4:29 PM
Calvin only slept about 40 min on the plane but now he’s taking another short nap.


2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2011 7:10 AM
Calvin woke up and said “No! No! No, day!” I asked if he wanted to go back to sleep and he said “yeah” and laid back down.


2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2012 12:36 PM
This showing business is a bit nerve wracking. It’s my day off but I haven’t gotten much done except obsessing over house details.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2012 12:37 PM
We have 2 showings scheduled today and a 2nd showing scheduled for tomorrow.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2012 6:14 PM
From daycare, “Calvin loved Ms. Beth’s stories.”


2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2013 5:09 PM
I have the silicone ordered for our lego mold experiment . . . Would have been cheaper to buy pre-made molds but they’re the wrong size.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2013 5:53 PM
Calvin is objecting to fettucine alfredo because he believes it should have tofu in it.


2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2015 7:10 AM
I think things are as ready as they are going to be at work for me to take the next 12 weeks off.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2015 7:11 AM
I’m going to keep working up till I go into labor but it’ll be lower priority stuff at this point.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2015 12:30 PM
Everything hurts from my hips up. Glad I have prenatal yoga tonight.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 12:22 PM
Julian is having an eclectic lunch of tempeh, okra, and banana. He seems to be enjoying it.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 1:07 PM
This family room is baffling me. Lovely built-ins, with window seat! but no place to put furniture.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 1:32 PM
How can Julian possibly be my child? He’s begging for his shoes to be put on.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 1:33 PM
Honestly, if there were any other 10 lbs 6 oz babies when he was delivered I’d have my doubts.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 1:35 PM
Do they make tap shoes for babies? I bet Julian would like some.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 8:51 PM
I think I almost have the layout for our rental figured out.


2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2020 7:09 PM
Since @calvinsdad and I are both going to be working from home we are out stocking up on work from home essentials. For @calvinsdad this will be granola since our house did not come with a catering service.

I gave Calvin a whole apple to play with while he eats breakfast. He seems to understand it’s food but he’s not sure what to do with it.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:12 AM
I think Calvin was trying to chase the vacuum with his truck.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:15 AM
I’ve finished making Calvin’s breakfast for tomorrow.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 12:53 PM
I’m checked-in online and Calvin has his (required) window seat!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 2:45 PM
Signs that my staff book buys may be out of hand: the library devotes an entire courier bin to my purchases.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 4:00 PM
I failed Google’s human test 5 times. Maybe I’m an android after all?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 7:20 PM
I now have 1 GB worth of new audio books on my iPod.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:50 PM
Well, I’ve finished testing all my luggage configurations and I *think* I can manage all by myself in the airport. I hope.


2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 3:26 PM
Me: Calvin, guess what we’re doing today!? Calvin (hopefully): Running! Me: Maybe, but we’re also going to mop! Calvin: No.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 3:27 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed painting with socks on his hands . . . right up his alley :)”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 4:26 PM
I wonder if one reason Calvin likes Bach so much is it’s one of the few composers whose name he can almost pronounce.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 5:01 PM
I hate it when I forget lentils take forever to cook in Colorado and I can’t rely on recipe directions.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 5:31 PM
I’m now wondering what part of “Lentil Croquettes” sounded easy to me . . .

Made Eggplant Pizza from this recipe book https://www.amazon.com/James-McNairs-Vegetarian-Pizza-McNair/dp/0811801004/ and Calvin’s actually eating the eggplant!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2015 6:13 PM
Also, we used the cast iron pizza pan which worked out really well.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2015 6:40 PM

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:03 PM
Calvin’s imagined explosion set off our smoke alarm. (????)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:03 PM
I have no idea how but he says he was imagining an explosion and the smoke alarm just went off. I see no signs of smoke and it’s now silent.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:06 PM
Just to clarify: the explosion was pretend, the smoke alarm was real.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:32 PM
Today I found hemp, coconut, soy, walnut, pistachio, coconut, quinoa, rice, cashew, and almond milk. Why no peanut milk?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:59 PM
Got a new yogurt flavor to try out of morbid curiosity: blackberry serrano (yes, as in the pepper).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 6:01 PM
Hm, Calvin made more floor mess than Julian did. Something is wrong with this picture.

Calvin had a restless night. I think it’s because he’s congested.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 8:04 AM
Calvin is trying eggplant for breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 8:47 AM
Calvin was being suspiciously quiet so I looked over and discovered he had found my iPod.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 11:29 AM
Calvin only took a 40 min nap this morning and, probably as a result, is really cranky.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 5:43 PM
Went outside after getting back from daycare so Calvin could briefly enjoy the sun.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 5:52 PM
Calvin hasn’t quite figured out that spoons are more efficient than hands for scooping.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 6:08 PM
From daycare: “Calvin is good at holding his bottle”


2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:11 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had so much fun playing with the play dough and making the animals hop.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:11 PM
In other news, Calvin is _extremely_ cranky. Even daycare commented on it and usually he’s happy there. I think he’s getting sick.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:21 PM
Opening the “sandbox” seems to have vastly improved Calvin’s mood. Note: we need more sand.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 6:11 PM
Calvin is insisting we need to listen to Bach during supper.

It’s amazing the difference a couple of years makes between selling houses.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:48 PM
We just had our first house showing and our house isn’t even on the market yet.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:48 PM
Also, it turns out I can more or less get the house in showing condition in an hour by shoving everything into Ted’s empty drawers.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:49 PM
Now to remember where I “stored” everything.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 9:27 PM
Calvin appears to have decided to get dressed in his dress shirt and grey pants, for Friday school, and then sleep in them.


2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2019 10:06 AM
Julian is refusing to go outside because “it’s too bright”.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2019 11:32 AM

Calvin got bit in daycare today but they reported he didn’t seem perturbed (the other child is teething).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 5:38 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed pushing around our walking toy today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 5:48 PM
Calvin is feeding himself with a spoon!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 5:53 PM
Of course, this increases the mess exponentially.

However, Calvin still had company because he told me he dreamed he slept with robots.

Calvin is eating his broccoli cheese breakfast fairly well this morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 8:15 AM
Well, it appears I used up Calvin’s patience eating with the broccoli and now he doesn’t want any lentil soup.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 9:09 AM
Calvin is very unhappy this morning and I don’t know why.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 9:13 AM
I guess I’ll put Calvin to bed but it seems awfully early to me . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 9:36 AM
As I suspected, Calvin really doesn’t want to go to sleep yet but I’m not sure what to do *sigh*

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 9:56 AM
Well, he might be asleep now but it took him a long time.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 12:18 PM
Oh, I just realized Calvin is still sleep. Probably should wake him up . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 12:24 PM
Oops, turns out he was already up. Earlier, I thought he was waking up so I turned off the monitor but he wasn’t so I continued working.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 3:38 PM
Just finished work for the day. I got a lot done but now my head feel foggy.

I came into the room this morning to hear Calvin saying, “Full own! Full own!” He was relating he had fallen off his bed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 2:58 PM
I returned my Sony Walkman. The combo of Windows 7 and bookmarking issues made it unusable *sigh*

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 4:42 PM
Our couch has been thoroughly violated today: milk (Calvin), vomit (Cat5), and urine (Calvin).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 5:06 PM
This is a very bad potty training day. Both for Calvin and the innocent sofa.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 5:07 PM
In lighter news, at the park Calvin was pretending that the bark chips in his hands were pie to eat.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 5:23 PM
I’m very susceptible to TV. Thomas is carrying ice cream to the children. Guess what. I have ice cream ingredients.

Calvin is now happily watching a new Curious George DVD he bought with his allowance.

One of the first things I did when @calvinsdad left was fully close his closet doors. I just found one ajar which implies we’re haunted as that’s not something I did.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2020 6:18 AM
I suppose the other explanation might be that the kids were playing hide and seek yesterday and I didn’t notice till just now.

Calvin’s very unhappy. Unfortunately, if I go up and try to comfort him, he wakes up all the way and is even more unhappy when I leave.

Calvin lost my iPod a couple of months ago and I just replaced it with a Sony Walkman.

Still think the iPod is probably the best mp3 player out there but I’m getting annoyed with Apple.

I think all the painting in the interior of the house might finally be done.

Deep thought of the day from @calvinsdad, “Sometimes we have to do fun things that we don’t want to.”

This was said to Calvin who is protesting a visit to a park with an allegedly very nice playground.

Ugh, what is it with us living in houses where past people boref holes in the floor for cables.

There’s a garbage disposal downstairs in the family room but not in the kitchen.

When I see on the lease there is a garbage disposal, I assume kitchen.

So far I’m really liking San Francisco. Yesterday night was cool and drizzly, felt just like WA. Today nice and sunny like CO.
