Susan in TN Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Something so unexpectedly nice happened today at co-op...no less than TWO teachers smiled at me and said a pleasant hello! Typically I feel like the untouchable leper (which is better than the outright hostility of last semester), but today I felt like a bonafide human! It's another ITT Birthday Miracle! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have been feeling funky all day. Massive headache when I first got up, some nausea involving lying on the bathroom floor for a few minutes trying not to hurl, lots of sleeping all day. No fever (in fact, it's my normal hypothyroid 97.7). I have finally managed to wash my hair and face. I must go to choir rehearsal tonight because there are only three of us in the alto section and I won't try to sing Sunday if I don't go to rehearsal tonight. Whine, whine, whine. That is all. :sad: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I am adopting a new dinner strategy: making only the meals that get no complaints or whines or rejection. That limits us to baked ziti and (homemade) mac-n-cheese. Until they can't stand either anymore. Think it'll work?* *I know I know. Kids. They can eat either of those items forever. #quailandmanna #dontknowhowmosescouldstandit 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 My traumatized cat is feeling better. She found a bird my other cat killed, dropped half of it in DH's work shoe that is on the porch and is gnawing on the other half. Don't ask me why I am watching her do this! I have no idea!Because DH's shoe is involved. Which makes it amusing. Duh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Isn't chicken poop like toxic? That said I did my fair share of stacking wood. (And chopping!) My grandmother had lifelong lung issues from histoplasmosis infections as a child from cleaning out the chicken coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I am out of likes. :( "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day." You know what I don't have a positive vote for? Being audited for expending FSA funds on dental work. Getting your cavities filled is awful. Paying for it is worse. Having to submit additional paperwork to verify that you expended funds correctly? CRAP! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Chicken poop is toxic. I put the speech up because Professormom called for speeches and I don't do speeches. We went to the theater. I wanted to see The Jungle Book but we were afraid it would scare Mary so we saw Zootopia and it scared John. :lol: Now Mary wants to see The Jungle Book. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Well, my potato soup boiled over. Cause I was down the block making dd7 apologize to the 5yo neighbor boy for saying, "You gonna cry like a baby now, b - - - -?" to him. Apparently, "J" found a "super cool" yellow golf ball in the creek, which dd7 thought should be hers since he found it in our creek and it didn't really belong to anyone. J and dd9 came to tell me about it after dd7 made her statement and kicked dd9. I found her bawling her eyes out under a tree down the street. She had to apologize to J and shake on it. I told J that I was also sorry, and that it wasn't OK for anyone to talk to him like that. Despite the fact that he was the one who taught that very phrase to dds, and has been reprimanded many, many times (by me) for using that kind of language toward my girls. He's got a mean daddy. Sigh. Edited March 15, 2016 by Susan in TN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) That reminds me...got to put out hummingbird feeders soon. I need to locate said feeders. I have a Phoebe hanging out on my front porch that is taking his cues from Hitchcock. He is periodically attacking my window, then clinging onto the screen with his sharp bird toes and pecking the window in a very threatening way. I assume it's a male, because I can't imagine a female bird wasting her time like that. Between "Da Bird" on the front porch and two more Phoebes building a nest over the garage, and the two Wrens occupying the other corner of the porch, my chance of avoiding toxic bird poop is nil. (I have chickens, and yes, my boys do help me clean the house. We clean it every week.) Edited March 15, 2016 by Critterfixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
