Miracle at daycare

What to my wondering eyes did appear was twenty small children napping quite near. HOW DO THEY DO THAT!!! It's like a freak of nature. I can't even get my toddler to nap by himself, but if you add one other toddler to play with, he'll never get to sleep. Yet there they all were napping peacefully on the floor in one room. Wow. I ask how they do that and she says "It works quite well." I see that it works, but how? She also tells me Sabian was one of the first to fall asleep and napped easily. My Sabian? I want to know where they hide the magic wand.

What happens when I watch infomercials

Usually when I watch infomercials I scoff at how they make some cumbersome new gadget seem like something everyone would use and love, yet today I found something I have been waiting for. Kodak Easyshare – Revolutionary Inkjet Printing System for Fantastic Photos and Prints. I have an HP all-in-one printer, which is the very printer they compare theirs too. I don't use it for all my photos because I know the ink is not permanent, I've seen the photo completely erased by a little humidity. I only use it for printing quick photos to show off or for Naomi when she wants to scrapbook with me, yet still, I have to replace the expensive cartriges. That's why I still order my prints from sam's club, but that takes time, so I've got thousands of photos stuck on my computer waiting to be developed when I have time and money. This Kodak printer uses pigments which are as permanent as the lab photos, they compare pigments to the pictographs on cave walls. They also use less and cost less. Looks like a win-win situation. Too bad I didn't find this printer before buying the HP last spring. Maybe I'll get this for Christmas or my birthday.

Procrastination is costly.

Andy knew he needed a bow-tie for his national guard dinner. He knew this over a month ago. Did he order it a month ago? No. He ordered it 5 days before he had to leave. The good news is it only cost $2 on the Army website. The bad news is it didn't get here on time. So what did he do? He went to Dillard and bought one for $30. Let that be a lesson to you. Do you think he learned anything? I can only hope, but I doubt it. I think procrastination is in our blood.
