TOTALLY GEEKED!

Grrrrr I have to go into the office today for a bit. I left my secure log in FOB there. Otherwise I would be blissfully asleep right now.

Good morning.

Momala, I would send right on over if I could get the box to stop leaking. (Hehe)

IKWTDS, what is an FOB?

---

 Not sure what the letters mean, but it is a small electronic device that provides random security codes to log into my company's network.  The security code on the FOB changes every 15 seconds or so.

A fob, or more commonly called a key fob, is a small security hardware device with built-in authentication used to control and secure access to network services and data. The key fob displays a randomly generated access code, which changes periodically, usually every 30 to 60 seconds. A user first authenticates themselves on the key fob with a personal identification number (PIN), followed by the current code displayed on the device.
Key fob is also a word used to describe a key chain and several other similar items and devices. The word fob is believed to have originated from watch fobs, which existed as early as 1888. The fob refers to an ornament attached to a pocket-watch chain. Key chains, car starters, garage door openers, and keyless entry devices on hotel room doors are also called fobs.

Yay for Friday!

It was only 60 when I got up this morning.

Heading for a high of 79. Yee haw! A break from the heat!

I wish we could take a bit of that rain off your hands, East coast Geeks.

I forgot to run my sprinklers last night.

I was a bad girl, and ran them early this morning.

Fingers crossed that I don't get caught, and shipped off to "Watering on the wrong day" jail!

It was 57 when I got up this morning.

It's still 57.

Our high is only 62 today.

I AM IN SHOES, SOCKS AND A SWEATER!

Oops, caps lock on for work!

How old are the kids?

DGD is 2 and DGS 4 months. 

Backstory, (most Geeks know) DD would NOT let anyone, including me watch DGD.  It was heartbreaking.  I wanted to spend time with her and she just smothered her. 

Well, since the baby was born,  Lord, has there been the 180.  I get to have them almost as much as I want.  Even overnight!  And she always thinks it a burden...LOL!!!!!

It's raining here, but lightly, so far. A good steady, plant watering rain. But we're under a flash flood warning so that could change any minute.

I'm fed up with my church right now. We went to a class last night for the sacrament of reconciliation that the boys will be receiving. We were given three textbooks and we are expected to teach the boys theology. The class last night was spent telling us how to reference the materials back and forth and what we were supposed to teach our children. Okay, so WTF are they doing every week for 1 hour 15 minutes during their "religious education" class? They say we are their primary religious education teachers, and the church teachers are just there for support. Ass backwards. Ridiculous. I left that place throwing eye daggers at the priest and ready to spit fire. Mr. FNW kept me quiet for fear I'd make the Virgin Mary bleed.

And they wonder why people are leaving the Catholic Church? They appoint a liberal pope who goes against long-seeded convictions and sit there with their degrees in theology but refuse to impart their learnings on our children? WTF? Home school CCD now? Oh, and they charge us for the books and classes, too. Double slap in the face.

Rant over.

WOW.  That is NOT right.  I would be having a come to Jesus talk with the CCD director... 

I taught CCD for several years. We taught the kids how to make the Sign of the Cross & explained what the Lord's Prayer meant, among other things.

flan

It sounds like it, doesn't it, LL? My mother was raised protestant and that was the first thing that came to her mind as well.

I am going to email the CCD director, Trudy. More to follow.

My child refuses to drink milk out of a cup. Only water. I've been slowly taking away his bottles. Any suggestions?

How old is he? I took bottles away at 11 months, before they could get attached. Gone. Disappeared. Oh, lookie what I found...sippy cups. Actually, I found these really cool cups with built in straws at A.C. Moore which they used. You had to hold them, because there were no lids and it would spill if tipped over. But that's how they learn to drink without spilling.

Use a cup where he cannot see what is inside-water or milk or punch. Just hand it to him and walk away. And throw away the bottles. If he asks, tell him they broke, you are checking to get new ones, but in the meantime, he can use the cup.

 Yeah...I'm not good at tough mom.... I know i need to just put on my mom pants and get it over with.  He's 20 months....  Way to old for the bottle.

For Baby J, I "broke" her bottle and told her to please throw it away for me. Then, she had to use a cup. This may take a few if you have many bottles.

 We have a dozen glass bottles : (

 Pfffft.  Child's play.  I had too many to count.  But they were plastic.  Anyway, just put them in the recycle bin in the garage/outside and be done with it.  He'll forget about them in a day.  Worst case scenario, he goes a day or two without milk.  So give him cheese or some other dairy, and vitamins.
