We were looking at computers the other day and my four-year-old saw those small computers that look like mini laptops. They're called netbooks. She decided because it was little (like her), that it was her computer and she expected us to buy it for her right then.
It is amazing how little minds work. It was small like her so it should be hers. She had no concept of anything else. I think we've spoiled her too much (but, no, she didn't get the netbook).
The good news is that we received good news on the rabies test on the bat that was sent to the health department. The test was negative.
The bad news is that they had to do TWO tests - the bat had a baby bat under its wing. It was a mommy. That's why she was keeping her wings curled up around herself. She was trying to protect her baby. That made me cry.
That made five animals that the dog had killed in the past few weeks, four of them new babies.
The dogs got out of our home-induced quarantine.
This is a view from the Sears Tower. Yes, that is glass and yes, you are suspended more than 1,300 feet up in the air (from the 103rd story) when you step out onto it.
There is no way I'd walk out on that glass platform of three layers of 1/2-inch thick glass. There is also no way I'd let my kids do it either. You can call me "chicken" all you want but it's not happening! My thoughts of human error and smacking the pavement 1,300 feet below would prevent me. Would you do it?
I am a tad bit spoiled (ok, maybe more than a "tad"). My husband has bought me several digital cameras over the years for my obsessive-compulsive need to take a ton of pictures of our children! For my birthday last October, he bought me a DSLR camera!
While I love the camera, I didn't have the computer programs to really take advantage of all the fun stuff that people can do with photos. He just bought me Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. I'm so geeked! It was on special with Adobe Premiere Elements 7 too (for videos) so now I can jazz up all the videos I take of my kids too.
Nope, I'm not spoiled!
