Questions For Those With Kids

So, we wanna know:

1. Teagan has begun repeatedly smacking herself in the head. On the one hand, I think it's pretty comical, but I'll agree with Amy that on some level, it is somewhat disconcerting. What does this mean, should we be worried about it, and what, if anything should we do? I really don't want my li'l girl to grow up to be a masochist...
2. How do you manage when you both are ill? We've managed (just barely) to stagger our illnesses: Amy had a bad end of the week last week, I was out Saturday night through Monday morning, Amy was back down Monday afternoon til this morning, now I'm down again. Whaddya do when you're both too sick to take care of the kid(s)? The last thing we want to do is give Bambina what either of us have (oddly enough, we both have different crud).

Pass the Puffs, please

After our trip to return the ink we went out to celebrate a belated birthday for Tom. Unfortunately, Tom wasn't able to finish his meal and we came home early. Why... Tom officially caught a cold/flu. I have been fighting allergies/cold since Tuesday and Teagan has had a cough for a good week. So it has been a fun weekend so much fun we used a lot of products that I would like to plug:

Items used in no particular order:
- Puffs
- TP (emergency Puffs)
- Benedryl
- Mint Tea
- Theraflu
- Nightquill
- Pepto
- Immodium
- Tylenol
- Chicken Broth
- Extra blankets for the chills
- Cough Drops
- OJ (extra vitamin C)

I felt bad for Teagan this weekend. She had to entertain herself a lot. We wanted to keep our distance so she doesn't catch anything. We want her healthy for Becky Rebecca and David's wedding on Saturday.

Greedy People Suck

The ink cartridges on our printer have been dying over the last week or so, so today, while we were out, we stopped at our local, mega-office supply store to buy new. I bought a pack with both color and black, paid my coin and went home. When I opened the box, I discovered that the color cartridge was completely out of its protective wrapper, the piece of tape over the jets had stuck to the inside of the box, and ink had spilled all over the inside. The black one seemed intact, but the protective wrapper was torn. What I assume happened is that someone came in and bought the cartridges, swapped the new ones for his/her old ones, hot-glued the box, then went back to the mega-office supply store, asking for a return because they bought the wrong one. Since the box was still hot glued, the staff simply returned the box to the shelf for some other innocent patron to pick up.

Now, I hate when stores' return policies screw over the honest customer (Amy could tell stories about her disdain for that of the Red Bullseye), but considering what stupid, greedy people will do, is it any wonder?

Yep, greedy people suck.

Improve Your Vocabulary...

...feed the world.

Saw that on the news the last night and thought I'd give it a try. It was Slashdotted all night, so I only got around to playing tonight. It's pretty addictive, Amy and I both had fun (although I probably had more fun since I was driving and she was feeding Bambina), and if the site does what it says, I think it's worth a couple of minutes a night. Enjoy!

Socks on Saturday

Teagan and I had on matching socks yesterday. I thought it was cute. I told Tom, "Quick take a picture to post on the blog!". It is amazing how tiny her feet are vs my size 9's.


A few new pictures out on photobucket if you are interested.
