Slache Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I have been sushied! :coolgleamA: Whole30 menu is as follows: Breakfast: Turkey Apple Sausage Patties, Guacamole and eggs Lunch: Smoothies with strawberries, bananas, spinach, carrots, coconut water and almond milk Dinner: Kima, Chicken Poppers, Salmon Cakes Snacks: Sweet Potato Chips and soaked almonds I aim for about 1/2 veggies, 1/3 meat, 1/6 fat and 1/6 fruit. I'm buying a few flavors of tea and some kombucha. I should be skinny by Saturday. Or at least very cranky. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you want to soak almonds and what are you soaking them in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Why do you want to soak almonds and what are you soaking them in? Water. I learned it from Brazilian friends and there are contradicting theories on this but supposedly the water begins the breaking down process so your body can absorb more nutrients from them. I like them better soaked so I don't really care what people say. You can also put salt seasoning or herbs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 My DD(10)’s teacher takes off points for the Oxford comma! The horror!! I told DD to leave it out for this teacher but she’s wrong, it’s necessary, and to always use it in the future unless she has a wrong teacher again. Then we read Eats, Shoots & Leaves. She should give that to the teacher as an end of year gift. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 We are getting so much more money back on taxes than ever and than expected that I'm afraid we did something wrong and/or we'll be audited. We've double and triple checked and everything seems right, but it feels wrong. Adding Baby shouldn't have made such a big difference. We've added kids before- even 2 in one year- and never saw a bump like this. And DH got a quote on fixing our nasty patchy grass and I think I must make landscaping my new hobby. Who knew it was SO expensive just to make a yard look boring? I told DH we should get rid of the grass and cover it with rocks, or fill it in with shrubs and a ground cover or something, but he thinks I'm joking. He doesn't appreciate my fantastic out of the box ideas. :glare: They aren't even mowing the grass for us- it's just to put seed down for the patchy places and make the grass boringly normal and green. Xeriscape is a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Xeriscape is a thing.It is. More and more people around here are doing it because of their drought and they charge us for every drop of water we use. I like the look if it is done right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks guys. It wouldn't be the end of the world if we had a third kid, though pregnancy and I don't get along very well (no major issues, just 24/7 'morning' sickness), and having an 8 year gap wasn't on my wishlist. Basically, I'm estimating my real odds of getting pregnant at probably more like <1% rather than 3%, but, I don't know what I'd do if I were. Sometimes I think it'd be nice to have another baby, but, yeah... it's so nice that the kids are older and we can do big kid things all the time. Plus, I have no idea what I'd do re: career... my plan was to just start a career when Broccoli graduated high school, which is when I'll be 42 or 43 or something... add 8 years to that, and... *poof* to future career plans, unless I either stick the kid in school or figure out how to work while homeschooling. Either way, the odds are really small, small enough I'm not really worried. Though I'll obviously be buying some pregnancy tests in a few weeks, since a) I don't recall when my last period started, and b) my cycles are kind of random in length (anything up to 8 weeks is normal for me, though recently I think they have been closer to other people's normal length, I think), so, that's going to be annoying. I'm not sure whether to give you hugs or celebrate. So, :hurray: and :grouphug: . I do you hear on the special needs concerns, though.

prairiewindmomma Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Don't do it! The sheets can't be that dirty, right? Seriously, unless there is construction dirt or major funk going on, don't hand wash sheets by hand. Even the plunger in a bathtub routine is challenging. I'm trying to catch up on laundry today. I was doing well until I saw a stream of ants going up and down the curtains in a couple of bedrooms. I should've been warned when I saw pest control visiting the neighbor's house. Now ants are trying to move in here. I'm putting out some bait traps and I'm washing everything in sight and putting out borax traps (to lure them to the poison) and peppermint (to keep them out of other areas in the house). #antmegeddon2018 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
