Junie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 We usually have tacos on Sunday night, but that was hours ago. Y'all are late! (One benefit of online church is that we get to eat dinner much, much sooner.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whipped cream, no, but I usually make a berry topping and then put a smear of sour cream on the waffle and then a dollop of berry topping. It’s very yummy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Of course none of my kids can agree on waffle toppings -- so it all goes on the table: butter, whipped cream, real maple syrup, fake maple syrup, (store-bought) berry syrup, powdered sugar, and (sometimes) chocolate chips and Hershey's Special Dark syrup. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Regarding diet. I do well with rules. What about the S diet? No Sugar, Snacks or Seconds except on Saturday, Sunday and Special occasions.

I’m so tired now 😵 I am sorry, insomnia is awful! I have dissolve-under-the-tongue melatonin tablets that sometimes help, I keep them by my bed. Lately though I mostly resort to unisom before bed. I've had terrible insomnia ever since my last pregnancy, and that baby is now three years old. I started taking unisom when I was pregnant, unisom + B6 is supposed to help with morning sickness. I don't know if it did much for the morning sickness but it did help me sleep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Morning. It's Moanday. Enough said. 🙃 We have school this week, and I expect the turtles to do a little snapping but get down to work. Lots of cleaning this week, too. I'll be snapping, but probably won't get down to work because I'm grumpy and stubborn. But we'll get it all done a day at a time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! How many times must a puppy go out to potty in three hours?!? Honestly! Just go and be. done. with. it! Fortunately, I have extra short people in the house who can bring him out so I can maybe possibly get my laundry down to the laundry room at some point this morning. Dh wants to know when puppy will be leash trained. Lol. Uh, maybe when he's 4yo? I don't know - Jean, what's your estimate? Dh likes to take him on a walk around the block first thing in the morning, but Chester is so much puppy and doesn't care for dh's non-stop walking style. Too Many Smells! Lessons today, mandolin lesson this afternoon, scouts for the kids and slow jam for me tonight. Haven't been there for a jam in maybe two years? I'm bringing the mandolin - we'll see how it goes. Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm setting myself a strict schedule for the next three weeks until classes start. I still have so much work to do and I want the kids to work out and I'm still working out with dd and then there's homeschool where they can mostly work independent but I need to sit with dd every day and I need to do some housecleaning. So I may not always be here early in the day because I need to stick with this schedule. It's probably better if I leave the boards for the end of the day where I'm too tired to be productive but I can manage to read boards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I am trying to decide the best way to approach the Two Youngest on the issue of their laundry not being completed. Their laundry day was Thursday, and I have several times in the past few days asked them if their laundry was all done and put away, to which they answered "yes". However, there is a basket of their clean laundry downstairs in the laundry room spilling out onto the floor, as though they've been digging through it like a dresser drawer to find things. 😠 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m watching the neighbor kids for dd, so she could sleep in, since it’s her birthday. 18!!!!! i did the bills and budget, made the bed, packed dd a tiny gift, cleaned out my purse, hung a load of sheets on the line, packed my lunch, fed chickens and dogs, and called our health share to see how much it’s going up in October. Sucks. $150 more per month. Wow, you've been productive already! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I made dh lunch, made French toast for the kids, loaded the dishwasher, and got dressed. In that order. Trying to sort out some scheduling conflicts for the kids. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm excited for dd's black belt ceremony this evening. I kinda feel like I earned the belt... except I don't have the body to show for it LOL. Dd definitely did all the work but I'm aware of how much I also put into getting her where she is so it feels like an accomplishment. I'm also crazy proud of ds15, who has been her training partner and was at her side all through that marathon day Saturday as her official "warm body" to demonstrate all her techniques on. He's gotta be feeling just a little bruised and sore today to. Seeing my kids support each other makes me teary-happy-proud. He gets to go up for his black belt next year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I failed at keeping my chickens out of the pumpkin patch. Which means most of the pumpkins have turned into chicken food; they are a favorite treat. Silly fowl have also eaten most of the grapes from my favorite grape vine. At least we are getting plenty of eggs! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Dang it guys, baby talk is making me want one. We'd been talking about trying this spring/summer then covid hit and I feel like I should wait for a vaccine; dh is already high risk because of kidney issues, adding a pregnancy to the mix just feels like asking for trouble. But I'm already 42. Waiting may end up meaning no baby. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
