Pause...Unpause

I noticed that one of my deposits from the bank came through with 10 more dollars than I had actually deposited. I went to the bank to find out what happened. They quickly fixed the problem and removed the ten extra dollars from my account. I was hoping they would give me a free football phone or credit my account with a thousand dollars à la Phoebe from Friends, but no such luck.

I just realized this morning that I can't put my socks on the "normal" way anymore. Usually I pull my knee up to my chest and put my sock on. This morning, my belly was too big so I had to cross my foot onto my other knee to get the sock on. Pretty soon, I won't even be able to see my feet.
~~~~~~~~~~
We have a miniature foosball table (maybe 18 inches by 12 inches) that my kids love to play with right now. I was playing with Aidan this morning (age 4), and right in the middle of a play, Aidan said, "Pause!" Then he scratched his head while he expected me to stop everything I was doing. Soon after, he said, "Unpause," and proceeded to hit the ball into the goal. Hmmm, and I thought the three video game tickets per week was good. Maybe I should take it down to two...
~~~~~~~~~~
I made Eggos this morning, and there must have been a small piece of bread or something in the toaster because it smelled a little bit burnt in our house. Aidan said, "What's that hot sound?" I said, "What hot sound?" He said, "I smell hot sound. I think it's the popcorn (that we ate and left the package out on the counter overnight." Isn't he a cutie?
~~~~~~~~~~
I was thrilled beyond thrilled when I read this post. I'm praying for you Heather!

Okay, I made my first vlog ever (video blog) that I will be posting on Monday. I am a teeny bit terrified because I am not a natural on camera. But I will post it anyway, because it's pretty funny (at least in my bizarre mind). Please come back and give me words of kindness on Monday!

Once I returned an over 200 dollar wallet a store gave me by accident. I was hoping they'd tell me I could keep it, but nope. I was like, WHY AM I SUCH AN HONEST PERSON?!?!?

You are a good person.

I am excited to see you Vlog!

Can't wait to see your Vlog!
And hey Aidan has it right.. life should just have a pause button :)

Sher said...

When I was pregnant I stopped wearing socks. And shoes. I just scuttled around barefoot or in flip flops.

And good for you for doing a vlog. You'll be awesome!

Jillene said...

I love that. There are many times in my life I wish I could do that.

Aidan's pause was awesome!!

Tracey said...

Looking forward to the long awaited vlog! It's going to be fun :)

Lee said...

I think it's stupid when you go back and be honest, and they just take the money out.
It's $10. Could've just let you keep it for being honest.

My kids totally did the pause/unpause thing when they were little. I always asked them if "unpause" meant go. LOL

And I have campaigned for vlogs for awhile now. If the bloggers I like to read (you and some others) would put up one video post a month it would be so so fun! I'll see you Monday!

Lara Neves said...

Hmm. I don't think I would ever dare put up a vlog. Good thing our video camera bit the dust so I have a good excuse!

The pause/unpause thing kind of cracks me up.

Once I went to the bank and deposited 70 dollars. Somehow they turned it into two 70 dollar deposits. I didn't notice until my statement came (this was before the days of online statement checking) and they let me keep the money when I went back. Crazy. (But I was glad.)

What's scary is that people are always trying to scam an extra $10 here or there and most people don't check their accounts religiously enough to notice.

heather said...

You're kids are so cute. I wish I could just "pause" life sometimes. :)

And thanks for the shout out & encouragement. :)

Kristen said...

As soon as you started your post about the $10 mistake I immediately thought of Friends. Then I read a little bit further and realized that you are awesome for remembering the same episode! You rock Erin!

Britt said...

I can't wait for the Vlog. If it's anything like the radio commercials we used to make, I know it will be good!

Christine said...

Lol, the pause/unpause thing reminds me of how my brain always thinks, "delete...delete...delete" when I'm going through the mail and throwing out junk mail.

I'm so psyched about your VLOG!

Maria said...

That was a funny pause!
They should have at least thanked you for correcting THEIR mistake.

Like you're new clean look!

I deposited a $25 check and the gal only put 2.5 in my account. Good think we're checking our receipts. :)

That hot sound, so cute!
