Jean in Newcastle Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I actually bought margarine today for the first time in EONS because dairy free. I bought earth balance. Margin: http://www.amazon.com/Margin-Restoring-Emotional-Financial-Overloaded/dp/1576836827 It was a big homeschooling thing in conversations circa 2010ish. This is worth reading: http://sallieborrink.com/need-margin-families-differently-wired-children/ Just FYI Becel vegan is also dairy free and usually much cheaper. Not good for baking though.

Slache Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm so glad God gave me to a good man. So many women I know are in a bad place because they married a bad man. If my dad had been sober he would have been a great husband but he wasn't and my mom suffered. Everything went downhill from there. Matt doesn't listen and he sucks at cleaning, but he's a good husband and a great father. I do not fear for my future because I have him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 ((Slashie!)) regarding your mom. Now, regarding backpacks. I got DS a jansport for school this year because they are supposed to be ultra durable and all that. By Christmas both bottom corners had holes worn through. Of course it doesn't help that he takes every single one of his text books home every single night. He claims there's no room in his desk. This is the child who sticks the applesauce spoon in the strawberry jam. I tell you this not to deter you from buying a Jansport. This is just applesauce son. I've spent $100 on backpacks for him this year. I just can't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetpea3829 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Bumping us above the spam! DH is off early this morning...got a call to come in and plow. We couldn't buy snow all winter long, now here it is in April and we've got snow when we don't want it. I'm not complaining, though! Heavens knows we want the OT/comp! If he gets enough of it, we can save one of his vacation days and use the comp time instead later this week. Plus....bonus...we should definitely be on time for church!

sweetpea3829 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 P.S. Slache, it's all your fault that now I'm seeing backpack ads all over the internets. I want the donut Jansport. And now I want donuts. Also....I LOVE the contented peeps of baby chicks in with their Momma. Gwyneth is turning out to be an excellent mom.

Another Lynn Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Good Sunday Morning! Today is recovery day - unpacking, laundry, kitchen, are older three ready for school / co-op tomorrow, etc. Coffee first! (Actually, prednisone would help a lot.) And I should run..... Prairie - did you survive the dinosaurs? I am SUCH a chicken. If I watch a movie like that I make dh tell me all the surprising and traumatic stuff first so I am less scared.

lots of little ducklings Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The nervous aunt called to say that Cousin Robert is not getting married in July spite of the save the date I received. He is 29 and has been engaged for about three or four years. He is a late bloomer. They have moved up the wedding to April with only parents attending because he is lonely at his new job down south. She thought we would be offended and horrified. I was just glad I have one less place to go in July and told her that they should do what makes them happy and all that. Also, as a bonus to ease her pain and embarrassment, I would inform my entire side of the family, saving her embarrassing phone calls. So then I did. And all was well. And no one was offended. But I had to call the odd father and tell him of Cousin Robert's wedding, which led to discussions about his car and such. When college girl took him to get his odd car yesterday, he told her that it sounded like she had really gotten her head on straight. :lol: In spite of my sprained ankle, I have cleaned up the kitchen, done all the laundry, vacuumed, made dinner and done pet care. I had a call with the co-op director, who reassured me that only one mom was freaking out about the class requirements for English next year. She was on her way to the Grand Canyon. I need to get someone to drag the laundry basket of clean stuff in my room and get a ds to drag out the 35 pound bag of dog food so I can refill the wheeled container. If I leave out the dog food bag, the kitten chews through it. I planned the next month of AHG meetings since I am in charge of this badge (pet care) and emailed the leader about my ideas. I have been productive. I also made little dd shower. My wrist bothers me more than anything most of the time, dude. I just added Meeting Tex's Family to my bucket list. #idontactuallyhaveabucketlistbutthatsnotthepoint #isaidsnot 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just rinse with salt water & gently water pik and it will be fine." And yet, he started having to put on numbing gel and take ibuprofen For the minor gum irritation. Uh-huh. Yup. Ok.By last night his cheek was swollen. I'm 99% convinced it's a rotten wisdom tooth. He's not up yet so I don't know how bad it is today.
