Susan in TN Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 20 hours ago, Critterfixer said: I'm only half-kidding about that. My art friends and I were talking yesterday about how people easily become divorced from the reality of time, cost, and energy demanded for certain activities. I loved camping as a kid. I still love camping. But I got a first-hand experience as a young person in just what goes into planning the meals, taking care of the camp and seeing that nobody burns a hand, breaks a leg, or gets eaten by a bear, and it was eye-opening. I learned to plan, to pace myself, and how a nap in an armchair or in the tent at midday might be preferable to riding miles on a bike and then having to prepare dinner. Knowing that there's cleanup and preparation involved in every "fun" event is a good thing to learn, IMO. I have been preparing for our backpacking trip for 6 weeks. A lot involves figuring out how to make “Mountain House” type lightweight backpacking food because most of the brands of premade meals contain peppers and onions and make dh sick and are extremely expensive. 20 hours ago, lanalouwho said: They are responsible for cleaning up after themselves. But at their age, that still requires supervision and mental energy from me. One of the main reasons I imposed the 30 day ban was because Weapon X knows all too well that "fun" requires a bit of cleanup. He would rather sit and stare at a wall until 4 pm (screen time) than do anything that might make a mess. He couldn't fathom staring at the wall for 30 days. Time and mental energy! 19 hours ago, KrissiK said: Mine are old enough to know to do it, but I still have to remind and inspect , and then inspect again. And again. And again.

Susan in TN Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Last night after the choir concert dd11 decided that she wanted to bring Poochy with her on the rest of the tour. She understands the consequences of leaving him somewhere (i.e. we will not search the state of KY for him). Dh tried to get me to text her chaparone, but I refuse to make that dear lady feel responsible for a stuffed rat. Poochy is in the yellow shirt. He is fairly well traveled. ? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Good Morning Afternoon! I spent the day sitting on my porch attending my yard sale and finishing My Antonia. We do not live in a good location for yard sales. I made $19.50. Which is $19.50 more than I would have made if I had just dropped the stuff at Good Will. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 DS and I went to Lowe’s. It was insane. The parking lot was crazy. Having worked in a Lowe’s garden center for six years, I give all the workers huge smiles and a lot of leeway. Saturdays can be rough, I tell you. When we got home, DS helped me plant my Mother’s Day flowers. I am enjoying them now, while the boys are inside. I have no idea what they are doing and I don’t care. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I drove up north to the gf teriyaki place and got our Mother’s Day lunch for tomorrow. I wanted to go tomorrow but they are closed on Sundays. The sweet Korean owner has celiac and kept assuring me that I can trust that everything is truly gluten free. This is why I am willing to drive up to 45 minutes one way to go there. (Today was better traffic so didn’t take as long. ) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 The one sport I really know about is hockey. So much so that I don't even call it sportsball. Because there is no ball. I grew up in Hockey Land (just outside Hockey Nation - Canada) and our state's hockey team practiced at the ice rink a few blocks from my house. Even though we don't ever get too far in the playoffs, Nashville is fanatical about their hockey team. People put signs in their yards. They throw catfish onto the ice. Because nothing says "We love you!" like a giant dead fish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
