Slache Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't understand British humor so I reserve the right to be offended. Lynn mentioned me! Bats? I don't eat butts and don't like German food. Jean's husband sounds cute. Mary has no fashion sense. I just wanted to say I think this post sums up our little thread here quite well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 DD informed me a couple days ago that I should stop waking her up early to take care of the kitten (HER kitten) because she read in the Care and Keeping of You book that teenagers and pre-teens need 10 hours of sleep per night. I guess that doesn't count when she's reading a good book she likes? See how we're working on logic informally? :hat: Anyway, it's a good think you're not a teenager, because you only got half that. :hat: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I was up until 2 am, at which point I took a benadryl, some ibuprofen for my vise-like headache, some Calms Forte I bought for the kids years back, and put lavender essential oil on myself that a friend gave me. I used everything BUT a rubber mallet. I did pray, as in "God help me sleep!" :lol: Oddly, at 1 am, dh was still up, and little dd wandered down the hall telling me she had to go to the bathroom due to slamming down too much water after eating a bad mushroom last night. :confused1: She had wet her pants a tiny bit. I had to wander into where college girl was sleeping to get little dd some undies. So at that point, dh, little dd and I were all up. The dog was super confused in her crate. I told her it was okay and to go night night. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 When I think of German food I think of kiobasa and sourkrout. Both are ewe and apparently I can't spell either. I thought kielbasa was a Polish food. Bratwurst would be the German equivalent, no? I never used to like sauerkraut, but it has grown on me over the years. Pork and sauerkraut is a popular New Year's dish here in PA. I wouldn't buy it in the store or order it in a restaurant, but I won't refuse to eat it when it is served to me now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Gentle ((hugs)), Jean. Bad night for me, too, though I did sleep, I think.

I think I need to wash the sheets as I didn't have tissues handy and I think I was using the sheets to stop the flood from my nose. :cursing: German foods I know: - Schnitzel = can be tasty - Bratwurst = I like - Sauerkraut = don't like - Potato pancakes (kartoffelpuffer or lakte) = don't like - Chocolate = LIKE!! - Cake and desserts = LIKE!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 During our outing to the caves we got to see quite a few bats sweeping around. There was one friendly little animal that seemed to enjoy swooping down around us. The guides called it Charlie. Probably Charlie was actually being a little territorial. Decent sized bat! Last night I tried an herbal sleeping medication. Usually, I take a little Benedryl when I need it, but I got this stuff for DH, who really has trouble. Really strange stuff! I was a little disoriented going down and figured I'd be in for an interesting night. My dreams are always vivid, but last night! Wow. :wacko: Very strange and unsettling dreams.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I cannot do math in this sleep deprived state. Not even simple stuff like addition and subtraction.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Nap was forced on me. I was sitting at the table at noon and started to fall asleep. Stumbled over to my armchair and slept for almost an hour. I could have slept much more but the kids have this idea that I should be actually doing things around here. (Humph!) Ds wants to get an allergy shot in a bit and this will require being awake enough to drive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Took a kid to oral surgery this morning with other kids tagging along. It went well. Got him settled, got his meds, went to the store with kids, took one kid to therapy. Just returned the doxie across the street to her yard, which she often escapes from. These people had donkeys I had to chase back in the yard, too. Stick a fork in me. 4 hours of sleep is catching up.

AMJ Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 So DS read three chapters in his book instead of 2, and when I pointed it out, he suggested he just forgo the rest of his schoolwork and ...continue reading. Maybe even finish it. I said that sounded good to me. But only after I hemmed and hawed a little. I'm smiling on the inside so he doesn't see me. The girls (especially eldest) were rather unimpressed with my choice of starting our reading off with Treasure Island. Now they both routinely read ahead (I assign one chapter per day) and I have to remind them they are not allowed to read ahead until their other work is finished! I told them they would like it but they didn't believe me. Ha! We are back from the field trip. It was fun, though necessarily a little light on material (took 90 minutes to get their and 90 minutes back, had to start and end at the school at normal times, and included lunch at a restaurant). The teacher obviously had prepped her students beforehand, however, with lots of information they pulled together during the trip. The girls and I will now be playing catch-up, because the trip really grabbed their attention. Since they are interested we will study it some more. We visited the Pier 21 Theater in Galveston to watch a movie on the Great Storm of 1900, then drove around town looking at some of the buildings (on the outside only) that survived the hurricane. Youngest is skipping Aikido today with my blessing. She's had her cast about 24 hours now, and got more easily fatigued today than she expected. She is on the couch now, being quieter than usual, watching a show she likes. I think early bed time tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
