This video sucker-punched me. Please go leave a comment, because Jody is donating three dollars per comment.
I can’t imagine Jet suddenly being taken from us because the seat belt failed. He’ll be in his five-point harness a lot longer than I originally planned.

Commitment schmamitment
I can’t believe I haven’t posted since Tuesday! So much for my “commitment” to myself to post everyday. Apparently it bit the dust shortly after the “eat better” commitment collided with the Girl Scouts.
I think it’s because our schedule was so wacky. I’ve been extra-exhausted this week after only going to work on [...]

Not the bed! Anything but that!!
What IS it in a two-year-old kid that propels him from his bed as if it were on fire, precisely three seconds after his parent lays him down on it? Repeatedly? For an hour, usually between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m.?
What is it in him that draws him out of his bed in a sleepy state [...]

… and those Lemonades? They’re awful. I promise.
It’s Girl Scout Cookie Time again. They’re smart to start selling them right around the time that people’s resolve about their resolutions starts to falter.
My sister brought over some of the Lemonades. They’re shortbread with lemon frosting on the bottom. As a favor, we finished them for her. Saved her from the temptation. That’s what [...]

What do you know about tweetle beetles?
I, personally, am well-educated on the ins and outs of tweetle beetles. My area of emphasis has been in tweetle beetle warfare, particularly those battles involving paddles and puddles. If your life is lacking in knowledge regarding tweetle beetle warfare, I highly recommend Dr. Seuss’ resource entitled Fox in Socks. I know the title of [...]

Show and Tell Friday
Since I leave the house before Knight and Jet are awake, I usually call to check in with Knight during my afternoon planning period. I like to hear how their morning went — I really wish I could be here in the mornings to help them, but it’s better all around for Jet. When Knight [...]

Bye-bye "pie-cicles"
Jet and I spent some time saying bye-bye to the “pie-cicles” (his combination of popsicle and icicle, I guess) this morning. Jet’s playschool reopened today, so I took him. We had a blast over the five-day weekend, but I know he’ll be better off getting back into his routine.
My school is still closed today. [...]

Psst, hey! Wanna talk to a human?
This is not a fake-Rolex-from-the-weirdo-on-the-street scam. Promise.
The very, very pretty Mir at wantnot posted this today. Very useful for avoiding the endless cycles of “…please press one or stay on the line. Para instrucciones in espanol, oprima numero dos.”
On a related note, did you know that cell phones have a limited [...]

I’ll save you, Mommy!!
Jet’s newest thing is to randomly run to me yelling, “I’ll save you, Mommy!!” (from what, I’ve yet to discover, but it doesn’t really matter to me). He clambers up into my lap and says, “I’m saving you, Mommy!”
I managed to convince him at one point that, in order to save me properly, [...]

Calorie-Free Cuppycakes
This one is too cute!
For what it’s worth, I did find a low-cal sweet treat that is amazing. Jello makes Dulce de Leche pudding cups that are vanilla pudding with caramel sauce. They’re sugar-free and only 60 calories per cup… the trick is not sitting around and eating three of them in one sitting because [...]
