KrissiK Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Friday!!!! I feel like death defrosted. Which isn’t even as good as death warmed over. It’s too hot and this air doesn’t move out, it just keeps getting packed down due to the high pressure system and baked. I need summer to be over. My friend even cancelled a bbq because it’s too hot. We are getting together, but just a little later and only for dessert. Today is my last day of summer vacation. I’ve been working all July anyway, but that is technically our summer vacation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Morning. I'm being super lazy today, just finished my second cup of tea at 11:00am after staying in bed until 9:30am. Dd and I are meeting every other morning to workout and today was not that day. I should go to the science center and do some work but I'm tired and it's super super hot here. Dh is going down to his moms again in the next few days. She has another pretest for her surgery. At the rate things are happening, I have to wonder if the surgery is ever going to happen. My dad is back in rehab because he fell again. My stepmother took a week to call and tell me, which is weird because they wanted me to take my dad to an appointment yesterday. It's nice that she told me before I drove up there to take him to an appointment. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I took dd to swim. Alone. In the rain. Then I came home and took 2nd ds to AFSA for college/dorm stuff. That was about an hour and a half trip. Then came home. Now I need to finish cleaning the house. And then should probably take a 2nd shower. Or something.

Slache Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I want a Danish. My babies slept in cribs because we are both violent sleepers and I feared for their safety. I kept them in my room until they slept through the night. 5 hours ago, ThatBookwormMom said: Lots of potatoes. Learn to bake bread or get a bread machine. Keep the menu simple and make as much of it as you can yourself to keep costs down. My 4 boys are all still little, but my daughter eats nearly as much as I do, and my husband has a hefty appetite, so I've been doing the research, lol. Potatoes yes, bread no. I don't know if I have celiac or what but I avoid constant exposure to gluten for the kids. Our diet is expensive because of that. I make almost everything from scratch because allergies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it’s lunch break so I don’t feel too guilty. So when I was growing up in Central Asia there was a park outside our apartment building and it was full of mulberry trees that were really low to the ground. Bats loved that park. It was not super unusual to walk through the park at night too close to a branch and have a bat fall on you. The cat was more traumatizing and I blocked it out of my memory but this is what I’ve been told by people who were there: I went to a birthday party, sat on their couch and a cat had just had kittens under there. I sat down and the cat flew out from under the couch and straight at my head and got tangled in my hair. My sister ripped it out and she was subsequently scratched up. I remember going to the party, sitting on the couch and running home crying but I do not remember the in between events. Oh my word. I would be completely traumatized, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 The house is as clean as it's going to get. I should eat a snack and take a shower. Yay for grocery shopping with baby! More yay for giving kids to Grandma's! Yay for FOUR errands! And Yay for bread machines and potatoes and freezer cooking and 5 toilets (We have 5 also, though not well thought out. half bath in the basement - not used much. Half bath on the first floor is the only first floor toilet - this was very bad planning. Three full baths upstairs - two were original to the house and one was an addition. Seven people, so lots of usage in the three full baths.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 On the way to the dollar tree, dd17 said she cut her finger on a doorknob and it reminded her of the cut she got on her finger from the toothpaste cap. Lol. What is with your skin, child?!? I slept for 2 hours after breakfast and feel mostly human again. On my second coffee. I took some kids to the dollar tree to buy presents for dd13, and then dh and I went to early primary voting. Voting was pretty much the same as usual except they gave everyone a stylus pen to sign the paper and do the touch screen. I was sorely tempted to add Jean as a write-in candidate for everything. Good news on the puppy front - dd13 taught him to go down the stairs! So now we don't have to carry him outside to go potty! He gets really enthusiastic on the second-to-last step and does a giant leap and summersault. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to the zoo this morning (they extended everyone's membership an extra 4 months) and a drive-in movie tonight - they are playing The Princess Bride. 🥰 At 5am I was outside with puppy playing frisbee. 🙄 I'd already spent an hour sitting outside his crate to keep him from waking everyone in the house and finally gave up and took him out to potty. And play. At least he has stopped attacking Lynette. (Lynette is my finicky dwarf lemon tree.) Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Drinking coffee now. Edpo School order was supposed to arrive Monday, but is still in transit. I was okay with a few days but now I’m annoyed. I think the only thing I need for Monday is the Maps. I know it’s not the end of the world but still. I also realized yesterday I double checked the history books I’d need but forgot to check Chem and there was a book I didn’t have and neither did the library (and that option would not be timely) but it looks like Hoopla has it, so DS is just going to have to read it that way.

One of our neighbors does, but their house looks like it could be on the cover of House Beautiful, so there's that. These neighbors have no children and love doing yard work. They will often come mow our yard after they finish their own.

It’s supposed to be 103 today and the wedding is outside because people can’t be in churches.

The Soviet Union was the communist country, Russia was occupied territory gained by brutal force and most Russians were not communist. Ditto for all the other republics. But yes, I am having PTSD living in the USofA these days, so I hear you. That's a good reminder. I am still amazed at how many countries "suddenly appeared" when the Soviet Union fell - I never knew they existed! Growing up, it was just a gigantic USSR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
