ION - guess who grew half an inch in the last 10 days?

Not that it explains it all away and certainly doesn't excuse it, but I think a correlation can be drawn between mac's erratic behaviour and crazy-hyper growth spurts. good lord. For those keep score, he is also now in a size 4.5 shoe (only half a size away from adults) and he is nearing or just at 4.5 feet tall. meep.

Me!

Ok, maybe not.

But damn, that's a growth spurt. Did you measure him at the same time of day each time?

That is very stretchy.

Last night was Deadliest Warrior between Maori warrior and Shaolin monk. I'm betting the monk won, although the warrior footage they showed was quite nasty.

Apart from the fact that the show should be called Deadlier Warrior, I'm still steamed they had the 20s Mafia beat the post WWII Yakuza. Doesn't seem right.

How old is Mac now? Seven or eight? He's wearing a bigger shoe size than me. I'm about a 3 in kids sizes.

Caffeine is kicking in. Wheee!

I find it slightly disturbing how much my mood is improved by a cup of coffee....

I had to break out a Diet Coke by 9AM. This was after two cups of coffee. It's going to be a rough day.

I hate days like that. Because I know I'll need more coffee in the afternoon, when the morning coffee wears off.

Hil, he turned 8 last month.

I don't measure him at the same time everytime, and I try to measure only once or twice a month.

One of the blogs I follow was just talking about behavioral regressions and growth spurts/mastering new skills. And how there is rarely a connection between the regression and the new skill. I don't know if growing counts as a skill, exactly, but it seems like it would fit the general pattern.

Has my work computer slowed down a lot in the last month or so? Or does it just seem to be slower because I know we're getting new workstations soon?

eta: No, it's my work computer being slow. I had to go to the bathroom to give it time to think about things....
