I haven’t been able to upload photos to the blog when using my default browser (Firefox) for some time now. It “broke” when Firefox was upgraded. I have been using the Evil Windows Internet Explorer in order to put in photos and post. Now, for some unexplained reason, that will not work either. Apparently, I will have to get my Tech Support to upgrade WordPress on the server.
How will I manage without photos? I might have to use, gasp!, WORDS. I used to do it all the time- before I got lazy and learned that inserting photos was a great (i.e. easy) way to post. I didn’t have to worry about vocabulary and grammer. Much less the ellusive spelling thing. Sigh.
Anyway, we’ll work on things here. I’ll be back.
We were in a store yesterday, and one of the children begged to get a shovel.
It was not The Boy.
She has a little plastic one that she was so excited to get but it was very cheap and I knew it wouldn’t last long. She seemed disapointed that she wasn’t able to dig in the hard earth with it. Then the handle broke a little.
This is not the one that wants everything she sees. That one walks through the store saying “Oh! I want that!” “I want that.” “I like that, can I have it?” This, of course, is when the Mother looses patience and says “Don’t you DARE ask for one more thing!” I mean, really, how many different ways can a person say “no”. It apprently doesn’t sink in- there is always the hope that I mean “no” for that ONE item, not the one next to it.
So here was the child that doesn’t ask for much, looking all sweet, begging “Please?!” For a shovel. We bought it for her. She has been happily digging in the hard earth with it.
Then we approached the sporting goods area and she thought she’d also like a fishing pole. She didn’t get that.
Now, I bet you know which girl – can you guess?
(Note: I know I’ve been sadly neglecting my blog. I promised more beach photos- I’ll see about getting them up. There are other stories that need to be told too. )
