Tater and Tot decided to play with the dots that Bou gave to them. Here is Tater’s picture:

And to show you have very different the boys can be, here is Tot’s:

Glad I’m not a psychologist… who knows what you could read into the pictures!

As my kids get older, I watch their blood pressure drop. Slowly but surely. And I watch mine go up. I use to be 94/64 on the average when going to the doctor’s office. Now it is more likely to be 110/77 or higher. Every once in a while mine will do down. Those are the nights I need my hubby next to me or an electric blanket near by. You just can’t get warm by yourself. You aren’t generating enough heat. You need an outside force. Even wrapping up in more clothing or covers doesn’t work… you aren’t generating the heat. I must remember to tell my kids about this as they seem to be going in the low blood pressure direction. Sucks to be cold and not be able to get warm.

I remember talking to my friends about opening a franchise before children. I wanted a either a craft store or a Home Depot up near me… well, within months of mentioning wanting to open a Home Depot, one opened up. And after much discussion it was decided not to go into buying a franchise. I had my own business for a couple of years when I was going to college. I raised and sold finches wholesale to pet stores. I was trying to ‘save the ones in the wild’. Which is why I have those stories about my dad opening a plastic container in the fridge and dumping 5000 meal worms on the floor. I also remembered all the paperwork. The lack of time. All those other things that go into starting a business. Though I did just the other day think how nice it would be to have an Ikea closer to me.
