What my kids are doing when I think they are in bed

An entire jar of white grease-based theater make-up. He was oh so pleased with himself.

Data points

The readership of this blog is approximately one (Hi Mom!). On occasion two (Hi Dad!). So when a TechCrunch piece about Flickr mentioned me by name, it was funny to see this in my log report:

pageviews

Wouldn’t it be great if I could annotate that graph with the event that caused that spike? Maybe even share it with my readership of two? Did someone build that already? It would be awesome.

Family reunions

Or, “why my weekend sucked”

Traveling with 2 toddlers with flight changes = Pain in the ass.

Grogreen fell down, busted her head, went briefly unconscious, went to hospital via ambulance from Pawhuska to Bartlesville (Osage and oil country - Northern Oklahoma), she fell again the next day, her eyes are still tracking sideways and she is bloody and bruised all over. She is 90, so these things don’t heal very fast either.

The reunion happened, crazy relatives got in fights, told inappropriate stories, got drunk, etc. A number of us caught a nasty and painful stomach bug, had to get meds and stay in bed.

We missed our flight home, had to buy new tickets.

Meanwhile Rosy had her baby 3 weeks early (Her name is Mariana, she is gorgeous. Photos to come shortly) while we were gone so Bodhi & Clio were stuck in the house for two days alone. Had to scramble to find day care for the week until 3 relatives (Angelica, Maria and cousin Callie) arriving on Thursday to help out (we do not have enough beds).

Was SO ready to be back at work. Not kidding at all.
