Today did not start out so well.
I woke up at five, and then instead of getting up and doing some extra workouts or something, tried to go back to sleep, which turned out to be a mistake, as I then spent an hour having weird dreams highlighting my inadequacy as a mother, a wife, a friend, and an employee. Whee!
Alex spent the whole morning in what Matt and I call a "delicate mood," meaning he's bouncing from perfectly cheerful to sobbing on the floor at the drop of a hat. Though today, his downswing wasn't "sobbing," it was "screaming." He's Angry, and he doesn't mind letting us know it!
I ran into every possible delay on the morning commute: school busses, cars in front of me doing ten under the speed limit, the freaking train that I haven't hit for months...
My least favorite meeting of the week is today. And when I got to work, I found that it had been moved to an hour and a half earlier than usual. Which is actually neither bad nor good, as it didn't interfere with anything and it's still the same length. But I'm a delicate flower who hates having my schedule mucked with, anyway.
And it looks like the company's network folks have blocked Google Chat again, so I'm back to twitter and emails for communication.
Despite all this, I'm actually in a fairly reasonable mood. Mostly, I'm just feeling tired. I'd say I want to go back to bed, except I really don't need any more of those dreams. Guess it's time to hit the coffee.

Pool Party
Summer's officially here: we blew up our wading pool and set it up on the deck this weekend.

Into the Weekend
Short Week is Short! Almost time for the weekend -- I just have to get through today.
I've got a meeting at lunchtime, which means I need to shift my trip to the gym. I can go before the meeting (I'd need to leave the office at about 10:15) or afterward (I won't be back until 2:30). Given how crowded the gym is when I'm go at 11 instead of 11:30, I'm tempted to leave it until after the meeting. But either way, it's going to throw off my perception of time for the rest of the day.
And then after work, Matt and I are going to pick Alex up and head down to John and Sam's -- John is giving Penny an "art lesson" this afternoon, and they invited us to stay for dinner when we pick her up. Which I'm looking forward to.
I don't know if anything is happening tomorrow during the day. Matt's got his D&D game tomorrow evening -- I should get in some solid writing once I've got the kids to bed. (Note to self: let Matt get up with the kids Saturday morning, so he can sleep in on Sunday.) There's nothing on our calendar for Sunday, either.
I'm sure we'll figure something out. It can't possibly be as calm as it looks.

Bluh.
According to daycare reports, Alex refused to run around during playground yesterday -- just sat down on the sidewalk and didn't move. When they took his shoes off, they found his right pinky-toe was red and swollen. Matt checked it, and he can wiggle the toe, so it's not broken, but he doesn't want us touching it.
The shoes aren't too small for him (if anything, they're a smidge big), so that's not the problem. It's possible that someone stepped on his foot, or dropped something on it. Or a piece of mulch got into his shoe and rubbed it raw. Or there was something in the sock. We have no idea.
I took his shoes and socks off when they got home last night and wouldn't let him put them back on. (Alex is a very shoes-on kind of kid, so he was pretty grumpy about this for a while.) He sat on the kitchen floor while I was cooking dinner and refused to get up and walk into the living room to watch Sesame Street like usual, though he got up at one point to put something in the trash, and when dinner was ready, he walked to his chair normally.
This morning, his toe looked normal again. So we'll have to see what happens, I guess. If it happens again today, I guess we'll need to get him a new pair of shoes and hope that helps.
As long as I'm talking about Alex anyway, he's acquired a new vocabulary word: fantastic! You know, I had my doubts about this season of Sesame Street, because some of the words and themes seemed a little advanced for the toddler set, but apparently I was H. W. Wrongy Wrongenstein.
Alex speaks very clearly for a two-year-old, and though I credit much of that to a constant stream of demonstration from his sister, he's also all about the fifty-cent words: humongous, miniature, exquisite, fantastic -- and he uses them correctly. (He hasn't mastered "metamorphosis" yet, though. Just a few too many sibilants and syllables for his mouth to handle just yet.) He's all about the science: "Trees have bark!" he tells me, nearly every morning. "Do we have bark? No, we have skin! Trees have leaves! Dinosaurs eat leaves! Do we eat leaves? Yes! I like lettuce!" (He does, too.) He's all about counting and shapes: "Triangles have three sides! Hexagons have six sides! Octagons have eight sides!" The other night, he held up a piece of chicken and told me it looked like a fish. He knows his letters and numbers and loves to look at books. It took him mere weeks to get the colors down, and now he's impatient with color questions. He's pushing hard at comparatives (e.g., bigger/smaller) and starting to get the hang of them.
Now, you will never hear me say that Penny is not smart. She's reading on a 3rd-grade level and always seems to have her nose in a book.
But while it's too soon to tell for certain, it's entirely possible that Alex may be something a bit out of the common way, as far as brains go.

Whinging
Oh, for the love of Pete... I've seen at least five hysterical articles today about AT&T's new data plan pricing.
The worst of the lot included a little chart to show you how much more the new plan was going to cost you:
This chart is what really made me crazy. The math in it is completely whopperjawed, so I'm going to indulge myself in a little rant, here.
Item 1: The "Old Data Plan" didn't have tethering as an option, as near as I could tell. Where did this number even come from?
Item 2: Let's indulge in just a little bit of elementary economics, for a moment: The "price per MB" line is only valid if you use exactly the maximum amount of data allowed. Now, let's ignore the tethering options for a moment. I went and looked up my bills for the last two years (I signed up with AT&T when I got my iPhone in July '08) and the most data I've used in a month is 26MB. And that was a significant outlier in a month I did some traveling and spent a lot of time with my phone as my primary internet source. Most months, I come in around 7MB. But let's go with the outlier. Let's even double it: 50MB per month.
If I'm using 50MB a month, then on the old data plan, I'm spending 60 cents per MB of data. On the new "Data Plus" plan, it's 30 cents per MB of data. Boy, that sure looks like savings for me! In fact, though the price per MB changes as the number of MB used changes, you're still saving about half the original cost if your usage comes in at less than 200MB per month.
Now, if you expect to use more than 200MB in a month, you're paying for the 2GB plan, which... still costs less than the original unlimited plan. Number of people who are actually going to end up paying more for (untethered) data plans? NOT. MANY.
Thus endeth the rant.
Now, they are kind of screwing us on the tethering. If you're using your cell phone as your modem, then it's going to be easier to exceed the data limits, because you're no longer hitting web pages that have been optimized for cell phone use, and you're downloading bigger things for use on your bigger computer. And charging extra for tethering without giving you an extended data package kind of blows, too. Is there any kind of extra load on their system when you're tethering instead of just surfing and downloading things via your phone? It seems to me that there shouldn't be, but I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the technology, so those are words I'm willing to eat, if someone explains to me that yes, really, there are extra costs that at least partially justify an additional $20 per month for tethered dataflow as opposed to standard data flow.
But. BUT. Tethering really shouldn't be most peoples' go-to option anyway. Cell phone internet use is slow, even with 3G. Even with 4G. It's improving, but it's still crap compared to regular broadband. So mostly the people who are relying on cell phone tethering are, I assume, only using it when they can't put their finger on a broadband connection. Business travelers, I would guess, make up a solid majority of these people (and also a solid majority of those who are in danger of popping the data cap. Cell tethering is not going to be a viable option for, say, gaming). In which case, if you are not making your companies shell out for the cost and/or writing it off on your taxes as a business expense, you are an idiot anyway.
So, all in all, my opinion of the new data packages?
It doesn't matter. Because I'm on an iPhone. That awesome math I did for you earlier? It's a fake. I don't pay $30 a month for my data package, because the iPhone package I got is completely separate from the standard AT&T price structure. And I have no idea whether that's the price package they have to stick with when my 2-year contract is up in July, or if they make me move to one of their standard packages. But I might go with a standard package anyway, if I can, because I have never exceeded 200 minutes a month in talk time, and or 30MB a in data, and I could save a bundle.

Planning Ahead
Two and a half weeks until school is out for the summer, and then Penny will start daycare summer camp. She's already looking forward to it -- she loves field trips, and they've got at least two field trips planned every week. Most weeks have three or even four.
I'm looking forward to it, too -- having both kids at daycare means that we can leave the house a bit earlier and I can get to work before 8 instead of at 8:30. Having an extra half-hour or so to play with in my schedule really makes a difference.
Of course, it adds some extra difficulty, too -- we've got to pack breakfast, lunch, and snack for Penny (instead of just lunch) and her favorite lunch (peanut butter and jelly sandwich) has to drop off the menu, because the daycare isn't equipped to isolate kids with peanut allergies the way the school is. And I have to provide carb counts and worksheets, etc. And keep track of which days are field trip days, because those meals have to be able to be eaten cold.
A new wrinkle this year, and we'll see how it goes: the packed lunches the daycare is providing for field trip days is ordered and prepackaged, rather than prepared by the daycare. So they should come pre-portioned and have nutrition information. Which means that we might be able to let Penny eat those, if she wants, and if they aren't too insanely high in carbs.
All this is a good thing, of course -- we love it when she's able to match the other kids' activities as closely as possible -- but it's some extra juggling for me as I make up the schedules. My task for this week is to go ahead and draw up the template for the daily menu slips to include in her lunchbox, and to sketch in notes about which days are going to require a "field trip" lunch and/or snack, and which days are movie days (if it goes like last year, we're sending a diet soda in with her, because the theater provides full-sugar Sprite), and which days are swim days (not really diabetes/food-related, but it's a convenient place for me to make the note so we remember to send in her swimsuit/towel/sandals).
I'm also thinking about pre-planning some family "field trips" for this summer. I spent all last summer promising Penny I'd take her to the beach, and I didn't get my act together on it until the day before school started -- and it was already too cool to actually swim. So I'd like to plan a beach day or two for this summer (possibly in conjunction with Ray and his folks, or Braz and Adin and their assortment of kids). And I'd like to plan a day or two for Busch Gardens, though whether that's a whole-family deal or a Penny-and-Daddy thing, I'm not sure yet (because if I'm going to be looking after Alex while Matt and Penny ride roller coasters together, it would be more comfortable to do that at home). And of course there's the Fourth of July and the Summer Bash and our trip to Chicago in July, and August will have Penny's birthday and a trip to Atlanta for my cousin's wedding...
Somehow, the summer is already full.

Awesome
I think that had to be the Best Long Weekend Ever.
I went down to KT's on Friday, and hung out with her and Jess until Kevin came home from work, and then KT and I drove down to VA Beach, where her stepmom's beach cabin is. (Which is not actually on the beach, but backed up against one of the area's gazillion rivers tributaries.) We got in and set up with no problems, and then settled in to write.
I managed to plough through some spots that have been hanging up on me, which was good. I wasn't nearly as prolific as KT, but I managed to get some solid work in, and even started working out details for a plot that had been hiding from me. We walked down to the beach once, and I took pictures and people-watched for half an hour or so while KT rented a bike and rode up and down the boardwalk, and we got caught in the rain on the way back, which would've actually been fun if I hadn't been slightly concerned about my camera. I threw bread to some geese, and watched boats and other craft (like the guy who was standing on a surfboard, paddling it along like a gondola) going by on the river. All in all, we had a great and relaxing two days.
I got back home around 1 on Sunday, just in time to join Matt and the kids in a trip over to Braz's to take advantage of his apartment complex's pool. Adin and her kids were there, too, and though we didn't have the pool entirely to ourselves, the ten of us pretty much dominated it. I got in a good upper-body workout with Alex, whose favorite game for a solid half-hour or so was to jump off the side of the pool into a waiting parent's arms (splashing water mightily in the process, of course) and then demand that we put him back up on the side of the pool to do it again.
Alex has no fear in the water. He sort of gets that he can't swim, but I lost track of the number of times I'd be holding him in the 3-4 foot area, and he'd suddenly twist and fling sideways, trying to escape my grasp. He did the same thing to Matt, too. We started laying groundwork for actual swimming -- holding him in a swimming position and encouraging him to kick.
All six kids had a fantastic time (even Sarah, who swallowed too much water and threw up) -- they played some elaborate game with ever-changing rules in which people were sharks or squids or stingrays or jellyfish, and biting/stinging someone turned them into that kind of animal, with depth boundaries and... I never did quite get the hang of the rules at any given point, but they were splashing and shrieking and giggling and enjoying having Matt and Braz pick them up and dumping them into the water, so it's all good.
We got out of the pool when we started hearing thunder, changed clothes and had a snack, then we all went to La Tolteca for dinner. (Four adults and six kids, five of whom were under the age of 7 -- it's a good thing Tolteca is so family-friendly!) The girls got an extra treat -- they didn't have a single table long enough for all of us, so the adults and the two 2-year-old boys sat at one table, and the four girls got to all share a booth together, away from the grownups. Exciting!
It was oodles of fun, and I hope we have lots more afternoons like that this summer. (We really need to get our grill fixed so we can have everyone over to cook out on the deck after the swimming!)
Monday started out fairly quiet and slow, but after Alex's nap, we went down to visit my parents, and they suggested we all go out to dinner at the County Grill. On our way out of the neighborhood, we spotted my brother coming in to return the car he'd borrowed (they're going on a cross-country road trip soon, and wanted to test out my dad's Prius as being more economical for the drive), so my folks invited him and Sam along. A few phone calls later, the whole family was stashed at the restaurant! We had a great time there, even if I did eat entirely too much (between that and Tolteca, my diet will not be happy with me this week, I predict), and it was a wonderful way to wrap up the long weekend.
Back to work this morning, of course, and my stomach is slightly uggy -- I was worried early this morning about throwing up, but it seems to be improving somewhat. I suspect it's just a delayed reaction to all the greasy/rich food. I'm not too keen on doing work, of course, but at least it's a short week!
