For today's adventure in parenting, it's emotional management.
Started a little rough this morning when Z reached for my phone and I said "Let's focus on getting ready first." She took that like I was upset with her, and that takes time.

But we solved her tears from a presumably good day at school with a McDonald's Happy Meal. OK, she mostly ate my food instead, but she felt better.

Now I've gotten to see how she's turned her remodeled room into a cat gym that any cat advocate would appreciate. So we're all good.

I know this person that has a couple of cats that would LOVE to try out that gym.... ;)

You know, I was thinking this last night. She is using the change to find as many different ways to climb on things..... I almost told her she had to wear her bike helmet.

I'm very very glad that that she hasn't climbed onto the closet bookshelf and onto the closet shelf, because I think she could....

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

I can remember as a lad having some pretty high fevers - 104, 105 - and actually having out-of-body experiences. (This was when I was hospitalized with nephritis.) The doctor told my mother that high fevers aren't nearly as dangerous in small children, for whatever reason.

Or maybe that explains a lot of things about me that you have all been wondering about. o_O

I saw a lot of the same that the 104-105 isn't that uncommon or that dangerous but I'm like dude I feel like death if my temp hits 100.

Nurse says to see how tonight goes and call in the morning if necessary. Of course now daycare says that he's fussy this afternoon but no fever so good and bad I suppose. Glad no fever but poor bub still not feeling well.

Hooray !!!

It's that time of year where I get to take all those online "classes" about harassment, Data protection, HIPPA and other wastes of time.
I have to take these stupid things every single year for our company and then other companies will require that I take the same classes on their platform as well.

I wonder what idiots got together and decided people need to do this on a yearly basis.

It's all about the CYI (cover your ***) part of things.

I used to just mute it in another window and get other work done, then take the quiz at the end of each chapter or whatever. Occasionally I'd screw up an answer or something but you could retake all of it, which was all the more reason not to spend very much time on it.

Climbing girls. :rolleyes:

When I was a little boy I was at my dad's fuel bulk plant. It had five of these big tall 15,000 gallon vertical storage tanks. One had a steel ladder fixed to it's side. And my dad turns around to see my very little sister at the top of the ladder and waving down to us and "Look at me!" Dad almost had a heart attack. Hell, bigger bro never went more than a rung or two up that ladder so it caught the old man off guard.

Rhode bike 20 miles today and posting just to needle NWICY some. Went pretty well for only a third ride and weeks after the second. Was starting to think my left knee might not like it much, but it went okay, stairs, not so much. Big hills might not be good either. Stayed in low gears for the most part.

Took a bunch of ibuprofen washed down with red wine. And why won't I? :rolleyes:
