Renai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yeah. When the kids were really young (like toddlers or preschoolers) we were at the park and this woman came up to me and said "What are they?" while pointing to my kids. I knew she meant ethnicity but I was a bit snarky when I said "Human". That's usually my answer too. When I was pregnant with #2 and people would ask what I was having, I'd say "A baby." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Good Morning! When you wake up, y'all need to unpack your bags and clean the trash out of Susan's stealth jet-copter. I hope you brushed your teeth when you got home last night. I was out of likes and then I wasn't. So, although I'm caught up on our party pages, I don't feel that I've liked them properly. Consider them liked. No one picked me up. Jean had texted me asking when I was arriving, and alas, no jet. She was up waiting, guys. How disappointing. She said to tell ya'll it was a lousy pilot... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 OK, so 15 minutes of cleaning ended. I always give them the choice of a 2nd round to earn more candy. So, some of us did 30 minutes of cleaning. This is what was accomplished: cleaning up lunch leftovers cleaning the "craft table" -- including scrubbing off Model Magic residue; dusting (as high as dd7 could reach) sweeping the downstairs sorting socks (a.k.a. the sock game) putting clothes on hangers to be put away later sorting summer pajamas that somehow were still lying around putting away blankets/towels re-shelving books cleaning trash out of ds15's room taking out the recycling washing MORE laundry putting away puzzles 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Do you recommend the 15 minute cleaning? I've heard good things. I've also heard of families that do breakfast, then Bible, then chores, then school. I like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I am out of likes. So likety likety like like! I wonder what other Y the pilot flew to and was setting off celebratory bomb rockets? I didn't hear any booms so he must have had his directions messed up and went to where Dawn lives. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Today I have to print out my Thanksgiving Dinner document which contains the dinner menu, recipies, grocery list, daily food prep and household tasks, and the Thankgiving Day Schedule of Cooking. It is a wonder to behold. I have to prepare my document, too. I have the menu ready. I have to do my shopping this weekend, so I need to get my shopping list ready. And my timeline. Yes, I have a time-line for Thanksgiving morning, since we sit down at 1:00. I have been mocked and ridiculed for my timeline, but if I didn't have something to tell me what to do and when it would never get done. I can't juggle all that in my mind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I am considering eating a slice of French silk pie before we attend family Thanksgiving because our hosts run notoriously behind and I am worried the turkey won't be out until 3. Holiday timelines are awesome when you have a house full of guests! Do you guys snack pre- Thanksgiving or do you fast/eat lightly so you are good and hungry? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Do you guys snack pre- Thanksgiving or do you fast/eat lightly so you are good and hungry? I do wine. Then by the time the turkey is done, if it didn't come out perfect I don't care. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'm. Sorry. I'm existed and on my phone. I can't articulate an answers right now. It's good. I'll get a recipe for you later. I have the same thing everyday for breakfast and lunch and always but the same pants, socks, underway, and all non food products. I even do once a month cooking. You're just adorable when you're drugged and on your phone. Thank you. Ok, I'm seriously contemplating how pretty the living room would be if I painted it a soft pink so I should turn in.

I had an 11th grade Abeka history textbook lying around. I put it on the discard pile a few months ago. Because it is so boring. However, ds15 (my history lover) saw it and said, "Can I have that?" He was truly excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) So did y'all psychically hear the blood curdling brain scream that emitted from Aldi upon the discovery that my Thanksgiving Grocery List was not in my purse?

MarkW Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I ran out of meatloaf so I filled my nifty white ceramic coated no stick frying pan (which I love) with a thin layer of oil and just fried a bunch of chicken cutlets, then melted like 6 kinds of cheese onto them with a touch of sage and... that was it. Chicken tastes kind of OK if you bury it in cheese. To balance things we had kale. ...and mashed potatoes... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professormom Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 My fibro comes with a broken internal thermostat. This frosty morning I took ds18 to work and dropped him off. I was freezing when I got home. I went back to bed with yoga pants, fuzzy socks, fuzzy sweater plus extra blankets piled high. I was able to get back to sleep. I'm awake now but I'm still on the cold side. This can work the other way as well.Sing it, sista. Sometimes I even have to have dh lay with me so I can steal some of his body heat:-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday timelines are awesome when you have a house full of guests! Do you guys snack pre- Thanksgiving or do you fast/eat lightly so you are good and hungry? We have people at 4 for cocktails and hors d'ourves. Dinner is at 6. I break before dessert too. Everyone usually heads out around 10-11p. I try to keep the snacks a little lighter, and could probably do without myself, but when in Rome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I don't know. I learned about primary sources, biased sources, fact checking, and so on when I was in high school. Does nobody teach this anymore? Is it not on a standardized test, so it got dropped? Does nobody care? What's the deal? Anti-intellectualism sells because it's quick, easy, and gratifying. Like a Big Mac. Maybe that's all it is. IDK. I learned those things in seventh grade (a class called "Reading," which was separate from "English"), and I don't believe it was covered very much during the next five years of school. Rod and Staff's English series teaches it somewhat; IDK about other publishers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
