  1. If you were a peak flow meter where would you be?

  2. If you were a USB thumb drive where would you hide?

      In the watch pocket of your jeans? BTDT!

      In my purse, under the computer case, or underneath the layers of debris on DD's desk.

      I even searched the last two purses I have used just in case I left it in one.

      Could it be in with another household member's things?

    4. PinkyandtheBrains.

      PinkyandtheBrains.

      Possible. My husband has promised to search this evening and see if it magically appears for him. Somehow the files backed up on the thumb drive are not on my hard drive. I am getting desperate...

       

  4. Apples, purple cabbage, kohlrabi, green garlic, carrots, sweet peppers, snow peas...and bacon stir fry

      It turned out delicious and the kids actually ate tons of veggies with minimal fuss!

      One kid adds lots of ketchup or sweet chili sauce and mash his sardines. I just add curry. The Brunswick can sardines don't smell as strong.

      Love these (omega-3 fatty acids! calcium! protein!) but yes, I sequester the used tins in their own plastic bag, take that to the outside trash and then scrub down everything they touched!

      My dad shared his love of sardines smooshed on toast and smoked oysters smooshed on toast with us kids.

      Yummo!!

  6. Van broken, house payment late, hospital bills, birthdays coming, Christmas coming...no money to pay it all...oy enough already!

      Pipe is running again, now for the great trash can hunt. It blew away in the heavy winds last night. It is one of those large city issues ones to streamline the garbage collection process.

      Our neighbors can always find their trash in our yard when the wind blows. :)

      I'm glad the pipe is good now! That big trash can couldn't have gone too far! (Or could it???)

      Is he feeling better? Our family had the flu last week. I luckily (knock on wood) escaped unscathed.

  11. Child, your math might make more sense if you shut off the minecraft video you are secretly listening to at the same time.

      I hate to disappoint you, but my house IS a circus. Can I run away from the circus instead?

      Me!! I can bring a few monkeys, a lion, and a hyena :)

      Care to share your recipe? :)

       

    3. PinkyandtheBrains.

      I used the recipe inside the box for Ball brand instant pectin. It used blueberries, sugar and pectin.

  15. Cat is on my s***, I mean my "I don't like you much right now" list for trying to make me get up at sunrise because food bowl was empty. Apparently she was at imminent risk of straving to death.

      I just throw, err put, mine outside and they have to wait until I get up at a normal time.

      Heaven forbid the bottom of the bowl be showing!

      Any white showing in the bowl is a major crisis here.

  16. Woke to a winter wonderland of snow, perfect for making snowmen and snowballs.

      Stop showing off!!

  17. Power out for several days, going on a staycation.

    1. PinkyandtheBrains.

      PinkyandtheBrains.

      Yes, from weather.

      We go home tomorrow, boys have been loving the pool and free breakfast. :)

      I am glad you all are ok.

  18. 3 rounds of emergancy vehicles and now several rounds of unmarked vehicles have flown by down our little highway...something is going on in our rural area...

      Sadly it was a fatal crash :(

  19. DS is dissecting an owl pellet today, fun!

    1. Stellalarella

      Stellalarella

      we had owl pellet dissecting today, too! I don't know why ds likes it, but he does. He thinks HomeScienceTools should use owl pellets as packing peanuts when we get a shipment from them....

       

    2. PinkyandtheBrains.

      PinkyandtheBrains.

      My boys thought it was really cool

    3. Stellalarella

      Stellalarella

      That's great! I thought it was cool they dissected it. Not so cool when beloved child put the contents into a can, brought it into his bedroom and knocked it onto the floor. But, anyway :)

       

  20. Well, the boys are working diligently. So not all of Monday is negative.

      I'm considering one last field trip day before we officially start. I don't want to let go of summer... so I'm the slacker in this scenario. :P

    2. PinkyandtheBrains.

      PinkyandtheBrains.

      I have days like that. We usually start sooner in the year, but I wasn't ready to let summer go...

  21. Second day back at school, boys got up and right to work. I am amazed. Now to teach them how to make coffee...

    1. SorrelZG

      SorrelZG

      Do it. My 7yo knows how and it is priceless. :D

    2. Stacia

      Stacia

      I agree. My ds likes to use the coffee grinder & even knows how to set up French-press coffee. :-) LOL!

    3. PinkyandtheBrains.

      PinkyandtheBrains.

      My boys hate the dishwasher too. They do want to learn to make coffee though.

       

  22. Kiddo has an endoscopy and colonoscopy at the Childrens Hospital tomorrow, hoping it all goes smoothly.

    1. Dana

      Dana
