First time for everything

Last night the Orclette wanted grapes. I gave her grapes. Then I noticed the white fuzzy clump of grapes in the middle of the batch I had given her. I figured the ones I gave her were fine, didn't worry overmuch about it.

Then she threw up. First time.

Huge mess over everything. We cleaned up, put a towel under her, tried to go back to sleep. 15 minutes later she threw up again. We removed the towel, put a clean one under. She refused all liquids. This cycle happened 3 times. By the end of it we had run out of towels. In-between throwing up she appeared fine and alert (which is why we didn't run her to the ER). Finally we decided to just stay up with her for awhile since falling asleep seemed to trigger the throw-ups. Put in the movie Tomb Raider, 30 minutes in she had fallen asleep on her daddy's chest. We decided it was safe to fall asleep. And it was ... although apparently she had stuff still to come out but it came out the other way. Anyway, she woke up this morning bright eyed and bushy-tailed. Can't say the same for her parents.

Now to do the laundry. /shudder

Luckily we are still in the diaper stage here and our boy hasn't had the wonderful experience of throwing up yet -baby puke not counted-. That is not a time I look forward to. Glad the little one is doing better though.

Oh, the fuzzy ones are for petting, not eating! Did Orclette at least get to pet the soft fuzzy grapes?

Niiiiiiice, grape....niiiiiiiiiice grapy grape grape...

We had my son doing that a month or so back. He was fine all day (although he had a bit of cough), then he'd lie down and go to sleep, and within an hour he'd throw up, once, then be fine for the rest of the night. He did that 3 nights in a row so we took him to his Kiddie Doc on the third day. She said it was the cough making him sick and to just give him some Kid's Tylenol, and after that he was good, but man, that laundry was not a pleasant load.

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Programming.

Someone enlighten me. I keep running into this idea with certain people I talk to. "Why are you charging me for this custom program? It has already been written for another bank. All of the work is already done." I've tried explaining that programs are like books. Even though you only wrote it once you charge it multiple times. I've tried explaining that custom programs are like our software product. You have to pay for YOUR copy, even though we've already written and sold copies to other people. The last person I tried to explain this to told me that I "shouldn't argue with the customer". /sigh This isn't a complex idea.
