Wendi Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 My son ate ramen noodles for lunch! (We bought them at an Asian market, and he used chopsticks, so it's not so bad, right? It's a cultural experience.) :tongue_smilie: Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom to 3 boys & 1 girl Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'll play... It's 6:45 pm here and the kids and I are still in our pj's from last night! I didn't sleep well last night and have been tired and lazy all day. I didn't get any chores done today, but we did do school. I guess that counts for something!

bairnmama Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 My kids both had a "breakfast bar" this morning as I was trying to finish getting ready for our group's field day. It was a Fiber One chocolate granola bar. Ds has also spent most of the time since we came home parked in front of the TV while I put frozen pizzas in the oven and "relaxed" in front of the computer.

Pretty in Pink Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Heh. Okay, I'll play. Last night we had chinese take-out for supper and tonight it was McDonalds. In my defense, we got our flu shots on Wednesday and I've been dealing with fever and body aches for the last 36 hours. Fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 My kids have been sick most of the week, so I've been camped out in front of the computer way too much. We did a little for school, but it was mostly just my reading to them. I very nearly let us run completely out of toilet paper yesterday, LOL.

zaichiki Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) I gave them heated up leftover quiche and put them in front of The Sound of Music. And -- I didn't follow up with them on their instrument practice tonight like I said I would. Two of them should have showers tonight... let's see what's going to happen... sigh!

AngelaNYC Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ooh, I love the how-effed-up-is-that game. My son had a homeschool group trip to the botanical garden this morning but it was raining and cold and I was tired so I kinda hinted at how horrible and boring it would be so it would sorta be HIS idea not to go instead of his lazy mom's. ;) Who's next?

Delighted3 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 it was too cold for shorts, so instead of getting out the winter clothes(I hate that Job!), I went and bought the boys a pair of pants and have been washing them every 2 days so they could wear them everyday for a week instead of getting out the winter clothes. Guess what I will have to do tomorrow. Unless, well, they could maybe wear those new pants for another week. Do you think?:lol: Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with that -- in fact, it's a great idea! I was too lazyto wash dd's waist length hair one night a couple of years ago so I took her to Hair Cuttery and had them wash it, comb it out, and trim a couple of inches off the ends.

melissel Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We had Taco Bell for lunch, I spent $183 on groceries, and then we had Panera for dinner.

Karen in CO Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 My kids are having a homemade vegetable soup for dinner. The laundry is done and the house is clean. We went hiking and to the park today. They only watched one educational show on tv (okay it was really two but one sounds better). We had organic ice cream for a treat. We didn't even run out of tp this week. BUT Sunday is my dd's 5th birthday. We're having the party at home with all her little friends, and I haven't made the cake, planned the food, or bought a present yet, and I'm working on Saturday. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 For various very good reasons, my 4yo dd has not had a bath in just over a week, and she has been eating candy (for the same very good reasons) rather frequently. If her brother pushed her into a wall, she'd probably stick. And I took her out in public today that way. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I also threw out the Toys R Us two dollar gift card that came for my almost-four-year-old's birthday. Oh gosh, don't you hate those???? They can barely buy the check out candy in that store for $2!! I remember when my DS was little, they sent a coupon for a free Matchbox car. So much better than the gift card. He always looked forward to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I agreed to let my son go to work with his dad yesterday. Not because of any educational or bonding time with dad, not because we are so caught up on academics. I simply wanted a day alone. The silence was wonderful. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdeveson Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Last night, I took a package of Swansson broth, but noodles in it and called it soup. :tongue_smilie: Ds supplemented with frozen waffles and fresh fruit while I watched the new episode of Stargate Universe. Seriously, I was sooooo dragging my butt last night -- it was a long week capped by a fun (but tiring) trip to the science museum with our group. This weekend doesn't look better for food. I made hamburgers this week and froze them raw. This weekend I'm planning to slap them on the bbq right from the freezer and call it a "homemade meal." I've got tons of fresh fruit and veggies and it's going to be self-serve weekend. Dh and I are setting up our raised planters for our vegetable garden (in South Florida, veggie season begins in late Fall.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew cheap instant noodles would be considered such a huge treat. Growing up they were a staple that we ate 2 or more times a week.

brehon Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 So, I did actually get up (at 8 a.m. when my 2 yo came upstairs) and technically the kids did eat something resembling breakfast. Right now my 8 yo is at karate, my 6 & 4 yo's are hanging their heads out of the passenger side front window, said 2 yo is playing with my phone (he's dialed 911 once already because I forgot to lock the phone), and I'm playing, erm researching, on the computer in the car. I don't dare inflict the 2 yo on the karate studio. After karate I could take the kids home and fix them lunch, but, really, why bother? I'm taking them to get hamburgers. Oh, just in case you're wondering, the van is off. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen in PA Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I fed the kids "breakfast for dinner" last night. DH has a class that makes him get home after dinnertime on Mondays, so I have decided to make it my light night for cooking. They had frozen waffles, cottage cheese, grapes, and oj. It took 5 minutes to make:D And I raided the Halloween candy for all of the GF stuff while they were in the bathtub and ended up not in the mood for dinner myself......
