  1. DS13 just asked me what a "busy signal" is on a phone. Hark back with me to a time before voicemail and call waiting.

      so funny. I remember when my dd was four and asked what "to dial" meant.

      My kid (he was 6 at a time) was hysterical because he couldn't pause the tv show. I couldn't explain to him what live television meant. He thought I was making it up.

      I was in an old office building with 3 young ladies, all clients in their very early 20s. Two of the ladies went to get a snack. The third sitting next to me asked me what is that little room used for. it was about 3x3 with a small stool and bi-fold doors. I was shocked and asked her if she really didn't know. Then the other tow ladies returned and asked the very same question. Again, I asked if they really didn't know what a telephone booth was.

      Was that before or after the trick-or-treaters started showing up? ;)

      Lol. We were good and ate very little. Maybe 3-4 rolls of Smarties.

      My kids were up by 6:30, an hour and a half their scheduled time. By the time I figured out why, the entire table was covered with empty candy wrappers.

  3. "Mom, how do you spell 'time?' I mean the 4th dimension, not the herb."

  4. I just realized that when DD sings My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, she replaces all instances of "Bonnie" with "body."

      That's a wonderful gesture.

  6. Sensitive DS checked out a book about the Donner Party from the library. I decided it would be better to break it to him gently.

      Well he finished the book and when I asked him about it he said he needed to talk about something else. :-(

  7. Wow, actual rain with actual thunder. Been a long time.

      mathnerd

      yes. I have never seen so much lightning and thunder. It has been almost a year since the last rains.

  8. Keeping all the people who live in the path of Hurricane Patricia in my thoughts.

  9. I think the roofers think we are crazy for being home and studying/working during this project.

      Can I ask what roof you decided on? We are in the middle of looking at bids.

      Hmmm...sounds legit!

      That sounds like a very nice obsession to have!

  12. Mental health day in which mental health=clean and organized house.

    1. mommymonster

      mommymonster

      Mental health does equal a clean house here as well! I'm working diligently on improving the mental health today!!!

      PeachyDoodle

      For me, cluttered house = slowly encroaching insanity. We have to take one of these mental health days regularly!!

    3. idnib

      idnib

      Yeah, I get depressed if it gets too messy or disorganized. It's like all those things encroach on my mental space. Glad people understand!

  13. Let's go Warriors, let's go!

  14. Wow, rain in June. Very rare around here.

      We're near the beach! Come visit!

  17. I need to stop reading the "where to live" threads. I just moved!

  18. This is the part of the house move when I realize I should have started prepping sooner.

      Ooooh...I hate that part!

  19. Just had super stressful in-in w the neighbor.

  20. I am re-wrapping yards of dental floss around a tiny spool. How much is my time worth, anyway?!

    1. EndOfOrdinary

      EndOfOrdinary

      You are just a homeschool mom. It's not like you were going to actually do anything today but sit on the couch, eat bonbons, and have the kids play video games...right? ;)

    2. idnib

      idnib

      Sigh...I had to put my bonbon down to wrap the floss.

  21. Can we just hear a rain forecast without the reminder it's not enough to end the drought?

    1. Chrysalis Academy

      Chrysalis Academy

      I'm just waiting for a rain forecast that actually pans out! We were supposed to get 5" this weekend - we're waiting!

      The system broke apart a bit and the second part is delayed. The heavier rain will be later in the week. SoCal will get heavy rain; the delay has allowed the system to tap into tropical moisture coming from Hawaii. If it hadn't been delayed they would have received much less rain, so that's good at least.

      I think you're in the north bay? If so you're probably going to get some thunder/lightning this evening.

  22. No, I cannot be getting another cold. Absolutely not.

  23. I've become strangely obsessed with the Abbey Road crossing cam.

  24. I'm glad DH got home safe tonight.

    1. GWOB

      GWOB

      Amen! Your post made me want to cry. I remember when ,y dh was off in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It doesn't matter where your dh was. It's still nice to know they're safe.
