Day 113: Television Much?

I feel like I sat in my chair in front of the tele all day.  Due to that, I feel gross and fatter.  My mom said she'd take me somewhere tomorrow, since I've been stuck in the house (and alone) for the past two days, as they had company.

I found out that Recce ("wreck-ee") is short for reconnaissance, so it's all recon air force guys from my dad's days. They had things both yesterday and today, so I was left with not much to do... except play with Eisley.

Babies are not very fun to play with... and I'm wondering when they become more fun and interactive.  I mean, Eis loves getting her diaper changed.  She grins at me and thinks it's funny when she can pee mid-change.  I lay with her during tummy time, I read to her at night, and I sing to her, but it's just me doing stuff and her being there.

I did make a flyer today for tutoring.  I am going to email it to a couple teachers at the high school, then maybe the middle and elementary schools.  I am certified to teach many things, so I think I could make some money.  I would charge $20/hour, which seems awful expensive, but my mom says many tutors charge $50/hour!  Yikes!  I think I'll get more hits if I charge less, plus I'm no professional (tutor, that is... I am a professional teacher).  My mom suggested putting those tabby things at the bottom, but that requires the teachers I email to have to cut them and I don't want to make them do extra work, so I made a QR code!  How technologically advanced am I?!  I figured the kids could just scan the QR code and get my info.  It's genius, I know.

I have been reading two of "Harry Potter's textbooks" from Hogwart's the past few nights.  I figured if I'm reading UK-based books, then I should read in an English accent.  I think I'm doing pretty well, though I know there are some words they pronounce differently than we do and I am sure I'm missing some.  I would love to have some of my UK friends do an audio recording of the Harry Potter books, but I'm pretty sure that'd be asking too much -- they're quite long and it's rather difficult to read aloud.

I don't really have much to say, since I didn't do anything today and neither did Eis.  Tomorrow we are going to SAM's to exchange a box of diapers.  Turns out we are ready for the next size up.  We figured she could fit for two weeks, but I'm pretty sure she's going through a growth spurt right now, since she's eating almost constantly (at least that's how it feels) and she's sleeping a lot.

Today and yesterday she's spend about half an hour nursing, but want to eat every hour and a half.  Keep in mind, the time starts when she starts nursing.  Example: She starts nursing at 0800. Stops at 0830.  Wants to nurse again at 0930.  When she's not nursing, I am changing diapers or she's sleeping.
