Oh, Poop

Abby went potty this morning in her diapers (she sleeps in diapers still) and was really fussy when we changed them. She belly-wallered and flailed (making the poop seem ever more frightening) a lot and we explained to her that if she tells mommy and daddy when she needs to go potty on the big girl potty she won’t have to go through that again.

I’m hoping this will be the straw that helps break the camel of its smoking habit.

Expensive Play-Dough

Abby wanted to play with play-dough this morning and so she asked me if she could. I was working so I asked her to ask her mom. She asked and Jessica said she could if she would give her a kiss. Then I made her give me a kiss, too. Abby gladly accepted the cost and then ran over to the fridge, her cute little legs bouncing with joy, exclaiming, “Cost a kiss.” I hope she’s willing to pay that price for a lot of things for a long time. She’s a precious little girl.

Abby Update

Abby has relaxed a bit today, since yesterday’s crazy attitude and a night of less sleep she’s taking a nice long nap right now and she’s been more obedient. She is still calling Kelsey and Kristin Aunt Shari off and on, but it’s progress 🙂

I’ve Been Hit

Two meanings to the title:
Sleep-less Night
Last night Abby was awake somewhere between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM. I got a lot less sleep than I expected.

Web Site Hits
Between the release of StatTraq and the ‘Women of Home Depot‘ I’ve gotten over 550 hits and it not even 7:30 AM. Back 6-7 months ago I was excited to get 90 hits in one day (mostly family then, oh and ‘Women of Walmart’ surfers).

Pray that Abby sleeps better tonight because I’ve had three nights in a row of low sleep and it’s really starting to take a toll.

Girl Gone Wild

Jessica’s sisters, Kelsey and Kristin, came into town this morning and Abigail has been out of control all day long. She’s just been disobedient to my every direction. I call her to me to give her a hug and she runs away saying, “I’m sorry!” This girl has gone wild. I hope tomorrow goes better 🙂

Playboy.com launches ‘Women of Home Depot’

Playboy.com launches “Women of Home Depot” spread. As I had reported earlier that it was coming…. it has now come. Sad. Sadder still is that my hits went up severely as my site ranks highly for this ‘search phrase’ as well as ‘Women of Walmart.’ Don’t look at this stuff guys, it’s really not good for you or your female relationships (wives, girlfriends and daughters).

Announcing Stat Traq Beta ‘a’

A little over a week ago I wrote about ‘Powdered by WordPress’ which Matt linked to. In that post I mentioned a statistics package I was working on and how I was going to release it to the public as a plugin. Several folks mentioned that they were interested in trying it out. That package I have officially named ‘StatTraq’ [someone please let me know if that name is taken, I could not find any evidence that it was]. StatTraq is in need of testers who can install the WordPress 1.2 plugin (following the included instructions and installer PHP page) and then report the bugs they find. Also, those who use it are asked to submit feature requests and ideas for future expansion of design and functionality. Suggestions and problems should be sent to stattraq@randypeterman.com.
