Putting Stuff In Your Pocket
Whenever Jessie comes home from school, she is a first grade teacher, she empties all the crap that has ended up in her pockets throughout the course of the day. Erasers, crayons, hair pins, wrappers, etc. all make it into her pockets and then get dealt with at the end of the day.
But it also means that out of habit, whenever she picks something up and doesn’t know where it should go right away she just puts it in her pocket.
Yesterday, she was making our bed in the morning and came across the alarm clock on top of the sheets, instinctively she just put it into her pocket (it is small enough to fit) and didn’t realize what she had done until she was already at school. When I went to set the alarm for us to wake up this morning I asked her were it was, she had to go to her teacher bag to retrieve it.
Might be time for a bigger alarm clock.

NATO
Because of the NATO summit, and protests, we were given the option to work from home. I decided to chance it and come in.
Office hours are from 8:30 - 5, it is almost 9 and there are less than 10 people here.
I think it is going to be a slow day.
I would not do well in this gym.
(Miller Park)
Jessie and I went to Miller Park on Friday night to watch the Cubs play the Brewers. Her whole family was there and we met up with Rouse and Tori as well. The game was awesome and featured a Cubs grand slam, a Brewers bases clearing double, a three run top of the 9th from the Cubs to take the lead and then a two run bottom of the 9th from the Brewers to tie it.
Then it was extra innings baseball. The game went into the 13th before the Brewers walked off with a win.
We left in the top of the ninth, as we had an hour and a half drive back to the Chi. I know you should never leave a baseball game early, and this is a perfect example of why. But we had to be up early and are lame like that. We were able to listen to the rest of the game the whole way home and then watched the bottom of the 13th from my couch while eating a bowl of Lucky Charms, so I can’t complain.
