Slache Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I just made smoothies. Mary got the carrots, spinach and coconut milk, John got the frozen strawberries and peeled the banana, Alex got the tomato paste, cooking spray, tuna and vanilla. John pushed power, Mary pushed the 3 and Alex ran in terror. This is our daily ritual. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I should talk. I probably would refuse a smoothie even if starving. Can't deal with the texture. I don't even like ice cream when it melts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Youngest could afford a half day to learn more chores, but the olders do not have enough time available to do that. Additionally, trips to town take 45 minutes there and 45 minutes home, so that impacts the issue of time as well. This school year, dh and I each make the trip at least once every day, and sometimes twice. :eek: As far as laundry goes, yes, they need to learn how for their own benefit, but as far as helping me out, we would need an extra set, or at least an extra dryer for it to do me any good for them to learn the chore. If I'm driving them all over God's green earth, then they're not home any more than I am. So, I guess I'm saying my biggest issue with laundry is needing to be home more. Anyway - not mad at you, but I'm probably not doing a good job of explaining how our lifestyle works, lol. Would you have a 2-3 hour hole in your schedule to devote to laundry? And a decent laundromat nearby? When I was in college I used to save up all my dirty clothes and wash them all at once at a laundromat, and I still do this with family laundry on trips. Perhaps resorting to a laundromat for a spell, or for intermittent laundry relief, could be an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I need to pack an overnight bag for the boys. I'm sending them to MIL for the night. I really need the break, but I'm so burnt out that I don't even want to put in the effort of packing the bag and driving them over there. And DH wants to go out (and we should) so that means I have to put real clothes on too. Blah. Can he bring something yummy home to eat in? What if you promised to light a candle on the table? We are back from the Old Lady Party and library stop. There weren't many who came to the party, but the kids played well and had fun and a lot of the staff stopped in to sing Christmas Carols with us. I'm trying to put together a beef pot pie for dinner. Ds13's cello teacher has requested a lesson and rehearsal with the accompanist on Sunday at 4:00 because it's the only time the accompanist can make it. That means he has an orchestra dress rehearsal 1:30-3:00, lesson/rehearsal 4-5, and choir dress rehearsal 6-8. I guess we'll just stay in The Big City all day. Maybe get some ice cream. We were already planning on sleeping late and skipping church because we'll be home so late Saturday night. It's the MOST wonderful time of the year! :D #yourewelcome 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 "Daddy, my glasses are broken". Hooray, more on the to-do list. On the bright side, it looks like the only issue is that one of the screws fell out, and the glasses place is almost certain to fix that for free (actuallly, they're still under warranty, so, guaranteed for free). On the not-so-bright side, glasses place is on the opposite side of town. :grouphug: :grouphug: What a frustrating day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Is the inspection you are talking about an emission inspection? Ours takes all of 15 minutes if I go at a time when I don't have to wait in line. It doesn't seem to matter when we go, the answer is that it might take 1.5 hours.
