Susan in TN Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Raisins are nature's candy Why would you even say this - as though nature knows a thing about candy? If it did, raisins would come automatically covered in dark chocolate and a sprinkle of crushed almonds and toffee. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthful eating does include a small amount of dark chocolate but i don't think I can justify toffee. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 FYI - if you are ever wondering why your child is not scheduled to play in a recital in four days, and the teacher tells you it's because neither you nor your child notified the teacher (i.e. "signed up to play something") despite the several email and classroom announcements that were made giving instructions on the matter, then you need to just shut up about it and follow directions for the spring recital. Not. Performing. Get over it. But you did follow directions. Sounds like elephant ninjas are needed in TN. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 And I'm back from my 30 minute run. Which I also did on Tuesday. Yay me. This day and time 17 years ago I was being induced to deliver my oldest. It was a small town with a shortage of OBs, so inductions were, perhaps, statistically higher there and I didn't really know any better. Plus, I was glad to get on with it! And I was 3cm and the baby was low, so it wasn't a completely crazy thing to do. We got started around 6am and he was born around 11am. Seems like a hundred years ago now. I'm reminiscing here because I don't think my 17 yo wants to hear about it, lol. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Just don't give raisins to a dog. Or grapes. Can do bad things to the kidneys, sometimes. I don't care much for them. I can eat them, up until the point where they start resembling desiccated arachnids. That's usually about a two raisin limit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It is time for the reports. Thank you for joining us. Sleep report: Did the same thing. It worked. Woke up once but went back to sleep. WORE EAR PLUGS. This seems important. However, I will say that I can still hear dh! Yesterday, when I was cranky due to lack of sleep, dh and my father joined together to give me a hard time, and I was NOT amused. It was mostly my odd father's fault, as he compared me to my always perfect aunt, his sister. Going to the P.A. at 1:15. I don't wanna. <pout> Question of the day: Why does adulting involve doing so many things that one does not want to do? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Question of the day: Why does adulting involve doing so many things that one does not want to do? My kids sometimes mention how they can't wait to be grownups because then they can do whatever they want. I avoid lecturing them on the weight/burden/privilege/joy of responsibility - let them dream. :) On the other hand, they are all dressed and I am still in my pjs and bathrobe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The blessing / curse of dh's strange work schedule. His current days off of Wednesday and Thursday. He just took 3 dc with him to run an errand and bring back lunch. Everyone will need me for school work when they get back (since they're not doing it now). But he's bringing me lunch (which is yummy but luxurious). And I had to cut morning time short because he was trimming bushes and I couldn't keep reading over the noise. But YAY bushes are finally trimmed. See how it is? Always a plus and a minus. The real minus is when he's still working on Saturday and Sunday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
