Trying not to be bitter...
One of our sales managers - who I’m pretty sure makes close to double my salary - just came to ask me (for the millionth time) how to total a column in Excel. That’s right find the sum of one column. Not a complicated formula (which I’m also excellent at by the way). Sum. I need to find a new job.

Sign of a Working (pregnant) Mother
James’ Valentine’s Party was at preschool this morning. He came home with a big bag of loot - which is comical considering there are seven kids, three and under in his class. The valentines ranged from the traditional fill-in-the-blank sucker on a piece of cardstock to personalized gourmet cookies and even a stylish photo card (think Christmas).
James took strawberry suckers...
Today is (not) your birthday
BACKGROUND: James has been hard at work planning his third birthday, which isn't until April. He wants a Star Wars party, and he has very specific ideas about what he'll have to eat (cupcakes), what he'll wear (his Darth Vader costume from Halloween, which is already two sizes too small) and who will come (basically everyone he has ever met).
Me: Tomorrow is Annie's birthday.
James: My movie birthday party is tomorrow!?!
Me: No, it's Annie's birthday tomorrow. Do you remember the birthday song?
James: I DO! Happy Birthday to you! Annie! I love Darth Vader!! He's in Star Wars!
Me: That's close, Buddy.
James: Maybe Annie can sing the birthday song to me.
