I Made Seporah Cry

I was sitting on one of those rolling chairs and Seporah jumps into my lap without any warning. I actually fell straight backward, chair and all. It hurt a lot since I was protecting Seporah and didn’t brace myself even a little. I screamed and then I sat there momentarily stunned, trying to figure out what happened. When I didn’t respond, Seporah got panicked. She starts crying and yelling “YOU OK? YOU ALL RIGHT? MOMMY ALL RIGHT?!?!” I’ve never really seen her concerned for my well being, so it was quite nice to realize my toddler cares.

Lots of firsts today

So we gave Seporah some cereal in a bowl because she was asking for it, but we wanted to get her to share with Felicity. As Felicity was reaching for it, Seporah dumped the cereal at her feet and hit her with the bowl. Now if Seporah has learned anything, she has learned she has to be gentle with Felicity, so believe me when I say she gently hit Felicity with the bowl. =)

Märia and I were getting a little frustrated with them and went into our room where Seporah followed us. She showed us the empty bowl, obviously asking for more. We told her it was in the living room. She looked at us and said “Mess! Mess!”. We said, of course it is a mess, we saw you make the mess, you ought to go clean it up. She looked up at us offended and said “Baby! Baby! Baby!”. It was quite obvious she was trying to blame the whole thing on Felicity. =)

I am sure Jason will tell you I was really good at blaming him for things I jacked up, but that is probably just how it works with siblings. We were just surprised at how young it could start! =) So that was first number 1.

First number 2… We ate at the California Pizza Kitchen… and didn’t like our meal! Now you have to understand, we LOVE the CPK and eat there probably 3 times a month. We have had almost everything on the menu and everything is wonderful. But we tried this Thai noodle dish, and it was just horrible. I had to try it 3 times just to be sure!

And First number 3… For the first time that I can ever remember, Märia actually asked to have her food replaced. She has had lots of meals that she didn’t like, and a couple of different restaurants, but she has never actually said anything about it. Today she got a free meal. =)

Site meeting results

We the founders and proud owners of Rushingaround.com have been pooling our brains for ways to better serve you, ways to expand the site, and new ways to shake things up.  If you have noticed we do have some new links, and have updated the about me site in small ways.  But today I want to focus on what has been decided in our last corporate meeting.

If you will look on the right side of the screen you will see a small map of the world with red dots on it.  This map is a portfolio of all the places we have readers!  If you notice there are quite a few more viewers in Southern California (Jason), Washington (where Maria used to live), and Hawaii (Where Steven and Maria log on daily).  What our studies seem to prove is that the longer readers stay in a place the more readers there are in that region.  So when people stay in an area for an extended period of time.. Rushingaround gets more dots!!   Now I’d like to address the issue that we have,  There are NO dots from Africa, and none from the Formerly known Russian Republic (north central Asia)..  We here at Rushing around have analyzed these results and are addressing the problem.

As we have plenty of readers in the Texas and Washington Region,  The Albrights and the Rushings are hereby being commissioned as spreaders of the site to foreign nations.   I’m afraid you have no choice in the fact of moving.. but you do have a choice of destinations!!!  One of them is going to Africa, and the other is going to Northern Asia..  The first one to move gets to their pick of destinations!!!  Isn’t this a great opportunity?!!   The race is on!  Get started and send us a post when you get there next week.

Isn’t it a great time to be a viewer of Rushing Around?!!

Today

So I don’t normally talk about work on here. Mostly because I’m always afraid of breaking privacy laws and getting myself in trouble. Today I was actually at home but got a call during dinner that one of our patients had passed away this morning. I had gotten pretty close to this young woman and have been worried about her the last couple of weeks. I won’t go into the details, but she didn’t suffer any pain in the end and had had good, happy last days. Keep this young woman’s parents and sister in your prayers.
