Don't get too full of yourself mommy

The other day, a particularly trying day since my daughter decided not to nap, I was hooking her into her car seat and she put her arms around my neck and said "I love you so much." And oh yeah, I saw the cute side of 2. Last night after she was in bed I heard her reading and talking and then looked to see her pick up her stuffed monkey and said "I love you George." Ok, she did say she loved me so much and she just simply loved George so I'm still better than the toy but it did kind of knock me down a peg.

Did anyone see this headline on Yahoo today?


Did I miss that big announcement how robots have been programmed to clean your house and fold your laundry and pick up the dog poop in the back yard? Because that's what we need the robots to do, isn't it? I don't wish there were more hours in the day so I could tackle all those weighty ethical decisions I just can't get to. Well here's a doozy, I know, "Roomba, vacuum yourself over here and figure out if we should put grandma in a nursing home," thank god we had that robot here to solve that!
