We have eggs at least 3 times a week, oatmeal once, and pancakes or waffles sometimes on Saturdays. Chocolate chips > granola ?

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Got at doctor's appointment at a time that will work with being ds' taxi driver again. With MIL in the process of dying, I just can't let myself get to the place where I was up until yesterday. I have to be mobile. (This is two doctor's appointments in two days but because of the way bones, muscles and tendons work, I feel like yesterday's fix is coming undone. The longer I can stay put together, the longer my body will be able to hold itself together on it's own. Does that make sense? If it doesn't, too bad. I don't know how to explain it!) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I've spent hours ironing on name labels onto clothing. It's the season where you need a jacket in the morning and take it off and lose it in the afternoon. I'm hoping $20 in labels + hours of my life = returned clothing. I went only with our last name, so I can still hand down clothing between children....but my friend was brilliant in that she included her phone number (traveling sports). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, should've said chest and belly.... We're all having allergy overload here, too. It's dang miserable. If she hasn't tried adding zantac (generic is ranitidine) or other h2 inhibitor to her zyrtec or other generic 12 hr antihistamine....it does help.

When we had dd19 do the skin prick test, the dr. said it was really just seeing what your skin was allergic to. If you skin-tested as allergic to coconut and almonds, but you regularly eat coconut and almonds without a reaction, then by all means keep eating them. Just don't put them on your skin. So basically it was all pointless, and I've refused to have any of my other kids go through that nonsense. Stupid skin prick test... oh awesome! A Skin Prick Booyah!

Susan in TN Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 We went to have the trial lesson with the Cello Professor. :svengo: She is every bit as extraordinary as has been rumored. She had ds13 play a piece for her and then she asked if there was anything in particular he was wanting to work on. He pointed out a passage and she had him do a particular exercise and within 3 minutes it was improved 300% - and ds13 was really pleased. She was super patient and clear and had interesting and effective ways to practice different skills. When we got home, ds asked if I thought we might get to have another lesson with her some time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
