Sigh, dog whining at the elf again. I forgot to buy more tissues for work. Will have to raid a box from home. It's funny how in the dry air my sinuses act up.

Almost ready for work. Yesterday sucked. I hate drama. Not my drama but I get stuck in the crossfire. I'm sure the drama will spill into today. I will just pretend like I am invisible and try to ignore everyone else until they get over themselves.
I hope everyone has a great day!

I have an idea. I was making pie crust for my pecan tassies or whatever you call those mini pecan pie things. Anyway, it occurred to me, why don't they make a gel mat, kind of like a baking mat, that you can refrigerate or freeze? Then you could use it roll out your pie dough because cold is the friend of pie dough? Maybe that already exists? Ideas like that pop in to my head all the time.

I wake up every morning between 5 and 5:30 and I usually lay there till time to get everyone up. This morning J got up at 6. That's great. It really is cause he is usually really, really hard to get up.
Going to be in the upper 60's again today. Wearing shorts again this morning.
Good to see you here Squeaks.
SB, I am sure you will rise above today.
Hiya Gaga, Flan and DE.
And all those to wander in later.
Hope everyone has a great day.

I don't get my kids up anymore. My oldest son did me in, lol. I would scream and scream and yell and turn on the lights and do back flips to get him up. Finally, I told him "I don't care if you get up or not". It's up to you. And, if you are late for school, then Mama is going to confiscate everything you own. That seemed to do the trick. And, with my other two, I told them it is THEIR responsibility. And, yes, there are times I nudge them but I refuse to go thru the Screaming Meamies now, lol.

When DS1 was in high school, he set 2 alarm clocks, one across the room. It helped a lot.
J is my Asperger son. He doesn't wake up like other people. He can be sitting on the side of his bed, eyes open for an hour and not be awake.
He is getting better about getting up on his own.
I don't yell and scream. I go by his room and wake him up, talk to him till he answers me. Usually takes a minute. Then I talk to him every 2-5 minutes until I hear him moving in there. I don't have to raise my voice.
He has an alarm clock. He usually sleeps through it. He is getting a new clock for Christmas. It has a slow wake alarm, dual alarm settings and snooze. So hopefully that will help him be more independent.

There was one episode of The Middle where Frankie was trying to wake up Axl for school. It was freaking hilarious. Finally, the dad went in and pick up and overturned the mattress, lol.
Things like that don't work out well for kids like J.
I looked for a clock that would shake the bed. They have those. But I have an irrational fear about fire or electrocution or something with that kind of thing. What if it malfunctions? It's attached to the bed.

The dogs paced and farted all night. DH is up taking DS somewhere and then we have a couple appointments today.

Morning everyone! The pooch got me up two hours before my alarm. Not sure if I should stay here with you all or go back to bed! On the upside, he snuck through the fence and pooped in the neighbours yard this morning. That will teach those pesky neighbours to let their kid kick down fence boards!
I did a whole heck of a lot of shopping online today!

That grease is from the fat cooking OFF the bacon.

I feel like it should be about 5 o'clock by now. I'm never up at 6 am for anything. I'm about to fall asleep but I can't because the physical therapist is coming. The Home Health Aide came at 7, then at about 9:30 the nurse came. Physical therapy at 3. I think the physical therapy will be the most productive and important of the 3 things today.
No matter in the hospital or home, those nurses will wear you out.
But you will be better in no time.
