19 Cents

I am amazed that I haven't updated this blog in some time, yet I have still clocked .19 cents in AdSense. I am getting PAID. Wonder what I will buy with all my money?

Do convenience stores still sell the Bazooka Joe bubble gum for a nickle? I could get a few of those; ya know, the ones with the mini comic strip in the wrapper!

Perhaps I should blog more so I can earn enough money for a sandwich.

No Bother

The girls surprised me the other night. We were in the usual nighttime routine of herding them towards clean teeth, bath, jammies, etc. when they both proudly displayed to me their hand-made "No Bother" signs. This display was quickly followed by placement of the signs on each bedroom door handle and a firm closing of their doors. I stood puzzled in the hallway after this act of independence, thinking to myself, "Wasn't this supposed to happen in the teen years?"

Sigh...

That's Far Enough!

Viv and Liv have started to shoo us away when we drop them at school. We can only walk with them up to the sidewalk and then one usually says, "OK, that's good. You can go now."

On a particularly stormy day, I tried walking them all the way up to the classroom door, but Liv was practically shoving me backwards.

I thought thought this sort of behavior wasn't supposed to begin until they were at least pre-teens (I think "tweens" is the modern-day term). Makes me wonder what is in store for us when they reach that milestone.
