Dianthus Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Everything is great except when it isn't. It's been a pretty good day only a little more school... Dh is gone again. I'm making nachos for dinner so all kids will be my friends after last night's veggie soup with "too crunchy" kale and "too many tomatoes" which we also had for lunch today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus, will your kids eat carrots? I've got a copycat Olive Garden soup recipe that's to die for with a ton of onions and spinach in it, but the only veggie that has any real texture is the carrots, and they're still pretty soft. My boys are a little less picky now that they're big, but DS20 still has major texture issues, and he inhales this soup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generally eat most everything and everyone loves kale, but the kale from our garden was really crunchy and I didn't cook it long enough. My ds7 despises tomato chunks but loves red sauce for pasta, he scoops up a bowl of red sauce to eat. He is the pickiest, but he usually eats most vegetables. He doesn't like most fruits or tomatoes or peppers or cauliflower. But I just never know with him either. Previous favorites he'll decide he no longer likes. So picky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Morning, Happy Tuesday. Another day of drive ds to school, go teach classes, pick ds up from school. Except dh is picking him up because we have eye doctor appointments. It was supposed to be dh and I going today and the kids going tomorrow but with dd having been sick over the weekend (she's much better now but we decided another day of rest wasn't a bad idea), the boys are going today and us girls will go tomorrow. Thursday dd has an appointment for a filling at the dentist, while I have a meeting for my new 4H game club, followed by a 4H board meeting. I guess this is our appointment week. Yesterday as she was leaving, my Monday teacher told me she's on vacation next week. She mentioned a vacation at our teacher's lunch but she never mentioned dates and I thought she said November. My head teacher thought she said the end of the session too, but looks like it's next week. My head teacher and my new teacher are able to cover everything so we're good there. My new teacher is working out great. She's young (20), energetic, amazing with the kids. She teaches Prek and K-2nd grade, so our youngest students. We have two students who were supposed to be in a different class running at the same time as her classes that didn't want to go into their assigned classes but were willing to go into her class. We do often have some shuffling during the first weeks, usually a kid who is on the older end and gets moved to the next level classes but this is more a situation of overlapping ages. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'm done with the day, except for parenting class. Had to deal with several serious issues with the teenaged son and I am hoping he is willing to turn things around and get on the right track. I need to stop losing sleep over it, but it's hard. In other news, we spent 20 minutes swimming laps at the rec center. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I'm too busy online shopping and reading reviews. I'll waste a bunch of time, indecision will lead to no conclusion and I won't get anything. Or worse. I'll make the decision, go back to buy the item and it's no longer on sale, the price has gone up, or it's sold out. Why do I bother? I know this is what will happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Morning. Happy Humph Day. Just my usual, drive ds to school, go teach classes (just 2 today), but instead of picking ds up, dd and I get to go to the eye doctor and dh will pick him up. Then older dd is coming over to do laundry, which is great because we haven't worked out in a couple weeks so I haven't seen her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
