Little of This, Little of That

Eddie has mastered standing unaided. Walking is still hit-or-miss, but standing? He's got that one down. So sometimes, just stands. Picks a spot, pulls himself onto two legs and just . . . stands. It's a new trick, so for him, that's an interesting activity. I like to imagine adults doing that. "Whatcha up to, Bob?" "Standin'." "Oh yeah, I love a good stand." Last night, the Husband and I are ready for bed - in our PJs, house locked up, teeth brushed, getting comfy in bed - when I realize I'm hungry. Nothing too shocking about that, I'm always hungry, but I was hungry for something . . .what do I want . . .. and it hits me - "Chicken McNuggets!" I said it out loud when it occurred to me, and then I wanted them so badly I could taste them. Of course, I had to explain to the Husband why I just said "Chicken McNuggets" at a time he was expecting something more like "Good night!" He checked the clock and said "McDonalds is still open - want me to go get you some?" Isn't he sweet?? He was serious. When I said no, he asked again, was I sure I didn't want him to go? So you can see why I love him . . . I'm going to make a template for my responses to clients. It's going to be a form email that says "Dear (Client), The problem you described in your email of (date) is not a problem with the software. It happened because you (stupid thing they did). Also, you requested the system do that because (stupid reason they had for that which I tried to talk them out of) which, as I mentioned might cause (the reason I tried to talk them out of it). Thanks, Jami" Update: We did go to bed without McNuggets that night, but the wonderful Husband bought them for me for lunch the next day
