Getting Better All the Time 3.18

snippets

Me & MyBetterHalf have a little problem. It bothers us, tremendously, when the childrens do something potentially harmful to one of their books, like eat it, or rip a page. We know, that's what kids do. But it still makes us squirm and try to avert the book damage.

A friend was telling me about "The 4 hour Work Week", evidently, this dude believes the 80-20 rule applies to work, like you do 80% of your work, in 20% of your time. Dude was in sales, so go figure. (Always Be Closing!) Dude suggests turning off the email, and only answering email twice, say 10AM and 4PM, ...and apply to other things too. Doing stuff in big batches, instead of constantly jumping between tasks. That's why I'm gonna quit brushing & flossing, let the dentist take care of that every 6 months if I need it or not.

Since we got the second car, I've been walking less, because I take the car home instead of walking 10 minutes from the bus stop.

...and my big issue right now. I burnt my microwave popcorn. Sadness.

So, we have these books for the childrens, that have "fur" on the animals. Sophie-kitty was grooming one of them.

So, on to what you want...stories about my sweet childrens.

Miss Squeaky likes to drink while standing. And then go walking, staring at the ceiling and drinking.

Mr. Grunty has a cup holder on this high-chair tray. He stores some cheerios in there. When he runs out on his tray, he fishes the stored cheerios out.

I can not believe how MyBetterHalf dressed him the other day. A Mariners shirt with golf pants. Just because both sports are played by hitting a ball with a stick, and both are incredibly boring, doesn't mean they match. Now if she wanted to go with a baseball shirt, then she should've mixed and match with some water-polo speedos, or golf pants with NFL shoulder pads and helmet. Sheesh.

The other day, Miss S was grabbing the singing-puppy toy in just the right spot, so that it would play the "head-should-knees and toes" song. And every time the song started, Miss S would touch the top of her head.
