I love the Inkernets! Today I'm reading Kottke's blog and there's this item about some excitement at Technorati about employee blog posts and all that stuff. Anyway it leads me to a site that has old WW2 posters . Chelsey has an assignment for school that has to do with coming up with her own version of one of these posters. She's going to love seeing all these examples. 10:48:00 AM

Chelsey and I were up most of the night Monday night. Chelsey is sick, sniffling, sneezing, stuffy head etc. I had to go pick her up Monday after she finished her FCAT testing. She came home and fell asleep. She slept for a few hours. Then when bed time came along she couldn't sleep. A combination of cold medicine, afternoon nap, and anxiety about more FCAT testing the next day prevented her from sleeping. She would come into my room ever hour or so saying she can't get to sleep. Finally around 1:30 am I went to her room and did the only thing I could think to do, I sat by her bed quietly and waited for her to go to sleep. As I sat there quietly not sleeping, I remembered all those times when the girls were babies and I would sit on the floor next to the crib waiting for them to go to sleep. Listening to them cry themselves to sleep was just too painful. So here is sit today in that wonderful half conscious state of the new parent that only spent a very short time sleeping the night before. 8:22:37 AM
