  1. Only after the brownie mix is in the pan and ready for the oven do I realize I forgot to spray the pan. Ugh.

  2. My dad found 6 big black binders in stuff we packed up and they're now mine! I'm so excited!

  3. These wintery nights without a working heat source are grueling :(

      I'm so sorry. It would be miserable.

      I hope it is too! I'm extremely thankful my new bed set has a real thick comforter at this point!

  4. It's nice Irving is teaching kids what to do during earthquakes, but the clip of kids kneeling in the hall and covering their heads is so not correct.

  5. After having the neighbor's dog chase me on our own property, I'm completely on edge now. :(

      We have a few times, as has the landlord. The dog gets out when they aren't home. But the dog was still coming after me even when I wasn't moving. I've heard the advice not to move lol But my scared = run thinking kicked in first lol

      How awful, a dog that gets out when they aren't home?! That's just ridiculous. Unsafe for the dog & for people. I know we want to run but remember unless it's a very tiny old arthritic dog, we just cannot outrun a dog. We simply can't. If it's an ongoing thing, can you make friends with it? Sorry you have to go through that. what a pita! I adore dogs but people are sure irresponsible twits sometimes, aren't they?

      Yes. They have 3? I believe, a big black one, a boxer, and some other. The boxer was the one that scared me :( I would attempt to, but thankfully we're moving on Saturday :)! Thanks for the concern though :D They are. I like dogs that are mine, I don't like other dogs lol

  6. Really disappointed I can't get a library card without a driver's license :( I don't drive, darn it.

      I haven't, Lawana. I spoke directly to the manager, so I assume that's as high as this tiny library gets lol

      Does you state issue photo ID's. Ours does, for those who don't have a driver's license. You may want to check.

      Gosh, all we need is a bill or something else "official" with our address on it. No photo id, even.

  7. Monster Lights makes me sad. The bond between child/parent to check for monsters under bed/in the closet shouldn't be taken away by some cheap light :(

  8. I watched Santa Clause 2 earlier and a very uhm adult ad played during the break. I know it's AMC and it was past 10pm, but I was still surprised o_o

  9. Apparently one of our people helping us move doesn't know that short sale = didn't make payments on the house. So byebye new house we were trying to buy :(

      oh no! I'm so sorry. (((hugs)))

      (hugs) Thanks Kim. I hope things turn around. This rental we're in is making my mother dizzy. :(

  10. Rather disappointed we don't get to celebrate Thanksgiving until Saturday afternoon. I'm so not used to that :(

      That would be weird. Just got e-mail from 16 year-old: she has planned menu, created shopping list, and wants to go to store in a bit. Love that she has become the most motivated cook in the house!

      That's cool! We're spending it with family for the first time in about 10 years so we're not used to it! lol

  11. Going from a library that allowed 35 books out at a time to 3 by the same author/same subject is really hard to adjust to lol

    1. sarahbobeara

      sarahbobeara

      Only 3 on the same topic?!? I admit I usually clean out the shelf if it's a history topic we're working through. I figure some of those non-fiction books need some attention anyway!

       

  12. It's extremely rude to 'forget' to tell your family that won't be home for dinner. >:( Especially right after staining some bedsheets and not telling anyone.

  13. Been a crazy few weeks. Moved into our new place in Texas, yard caught on fire, lost power during a storm, anddd now we're just getting better internet. Wow!

  14. Neighor will not pick up their phonebook from their driveway, yet it's been there for weeks and they keep running over it. Tsk, sad lol

  15. It seems our house may have finally sold after 2-3 years of living with boxes!

  16. First week of self-education done, and I've already learned tons that we never touched on in school!

      My kids have gone through both entire series several times over the past few years. Weirdly, my 4yodd is the one that likes Emergency the best!

  18. Wasn't expecting my rainbow resource center catalog to be so big! It looks like a phone book lol

      Mine was just in our mail box, I was stunned by it's size! I can't stick it in the binder like I do with the others lol

      I know! Just got mine, too. My DH asked me "Is that a yellow page book?"

  19. We may have just lost the sell on our house cause of the mortgage company :'(

  20. This tug a war with our house is ridiculous. Stop asking the buyer for more than the house was listed for >:(

  21. If I had a kid watching Disney Channel, Zapped is definitely one movie I'd pass on, I think.

  22. Stretchkins look extremely creepy...

  23. The concept of an early release schedule and a hour early early release schedule is lost on me.

  24. Never grab a hot burner with your bare hand. Ouch!

    1. Critterfixer

      Critterfixer

      Yep. That's a bad plan every time. Ouchie.

    2. candicane

      candicane

      Yep! Tried to keep it from falling, didn't realize it was the one that had been on the entire time and ouch!

  25. Man, I didn't know it took 3 cars, and 7 people to drop 1 kid off at home at 1AM. Man I can't wait for school to start again lol
