I'm linking up with Shae at Yay for Home!
This week, I know...
- Putting an unhappy toddler in water can sometimes hit the reset button on their day (and yours).
- When you're ten and your family uses up the entire allotted Broadband allowance and your Internet is slowed to dial up speed three days before the end of the month, it is a human tragedy of unequalled proportions.
- When you're 37 or 40, you well probably find yourself responding to this human tragedy by sharing informative and helpful vignettes about the dark days before any of us had Internet (shudder). Apparently we have become our parents. Awesome...
- I don't actually know for sure, but I think that Lofty (the crane) from Bob the Builder has a crush on Muck (the dump truck).
- Also, it's possible we're watching too much children's TV on iView (see also Internet tragedy above). It's a slippery slope, people.
- I have missed having a camera that works properly. It's good to be noticing the light.
- Hypothetically speaking, I know that if one parent comes home late and leaves a full bag of corn chips sitting on the bench in plain sight, the other parent's first task of the day will be to deal with a two year old demanding "crackers" for breakfast.
- I also know that, always one to choose her battles, said parent will put the banana back in the fruit bowl and serve up a pile of chips in lieu of cereal, especially since said parent already promised the ten year old that she could have left over pizza for breakfast. (Hypothetically speaking, of course.)
- When I read and comment on more blog posts, I feel more engaged with others. When I write more blog posts, I feel more engaged with myself.
- I know it's good to take a day off occasionally.
- I also know it's awesome that Ali's back online after an extended break!
I think, on most of these points, I can relate, except the internet one, cause I make sure we have a ridiculous amount of allowance, so that never happens.
ReplyDeleteI have so enjoyed all your posts this last month. You have beautiful and insightful things to share.
Thank you.
Lol ! You know a lot of great things this week! All of them a gems. We decided to avoid Internet tragedies, we needed to upgrade...and that's just between the two of us ;)
ReplyDeleteRex - We thought we did too! And thank you. That means a lot. I am very grateful to you for reading.
ReplyDeleteGrace - I'm wondering if 3 days of slow Internet is the closest thing she'll get to a character-building experience in her childhood? Having said that, if it happens again, we'll probably cave. Lol.
Thanks for stopping by my blog....You know a lot of funny stuff this week :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids are too young to be donning the internet but Im not sure how well I would have handled that one. Had to laugh about the chips left out as my hubby is a bit of a midnight snacker (choice of snack=shapes) and he is always leaving evidence which gets the girls demanding why they can't have some for brekkie. It's a slippery slope for sure!
I'm loving the things you're capturing with your rewly resurrected camera. The light on your bookshelves is lovely. I know all about those less-than-ideal breakfasts, but only in a hypothetical sense, of course.
ReplyDeleteInspired by your recent post, I relaxed and let Annabelle splash about in the pouring rain earlier this week, and it was so good for both of us!

ReplyDeleteYes and yes!
