TOTALLY GEEKED!

Morning everyone. It's going to get close to 60 today. I hope all the melting doesn't cause too much flooding.

Morning.

Good morning!
I still hate the time change. 

It will be in the high 60's again today, all week and next actually. I will have to check the flower beds for new growth. Darn.

Hope to put the back on the quilt today and start the quilting part. DD will be gone all day, so I will have lots of time.

Hmm, maybe I should do some house cleaning as well...or maybe not.

It is FOGGY...very very FOGGY.

Guess how many dumbazz drivers do not have their lights turned on?

 Perfect!!!

I blame the nice weather. It makes me wanna stay home! 

It's foggy here, too. Sun will be out later. A high around 70. I think I'm in the mood to fire up the grill.

Ribeyes or New York Strips, that is the question?

Have a great day, everyone.

Ribeyes!

DH grilled one for each of us the other night. Oh my, was it good!

Drizzly and foggy on my way to work. It was eerie.

Boys wouldn't touch their dinner. I suspect they are on strike. They won't eat unless I make pizza or tacos. I actually cried.

Well, darn FNW. That's a shame. I hope they get over this picky stage soon.

Try not to take it to heart.

I think they put their heads together and decided to revolt and only eat pizza or tacos. They rant about wanting that. (I made tacos last week and they gobbled them down). And they are talking in unison. I always make sure there is at least one thing on their plates I know they like and now they aren't even eating that one item. Won't touch any of it. They just sit there, leaning back, sighing, asking if they can get up now, etc. It's blatant. So I told them since they aren't hungry and aren't eating dinner anymore, I am not going to fix their favorites and have them end up in the garbage. I saw them look at each other with that "OMG, what do we do now" looks.

LOL. Now carry through. Once is all it takes.

There is no way I would be a short order cook for my kids. If they won't eat what I put in front of them, they go to bed hungry. Tough tatties kiddo's.

So, stand your ground!

 Kudos to you for not killing them.  I don't have the patience for kids, or maybe I never developed it because I never had them?  Something like that...

LOL. There are days...but last night I just wanted to cry. So I did. They saw me, too. I didn't care. It's the first time they ever saw me cry.

If my kids had made me cry, I would have made the worst meal the next night ever, then I would have stared them down.

DH handed our kids two pieces of bread once, told them to toast it, that was their supper. I loved him so much at that moment. 

I'm not about to make tacos or pizza at this point.

Mr. FNW isn't usually home when we start dinner. But this morning when he gave them breakfast, he reminded them to eat dinner tonight. #1 said, "I wonder what she's making." #2 said, "something we don't like."

going to be in the 70's again today. I have to work all day.

My mom got home yesterday, and already she and my dad are at each other's throats. Yesterday, she didn't take her insulin before she ate, and my dad was trying to get her to take it. She finally checked her blood sugar and it was close to 300, so he went and got her pen. She refused to take the insulin because she didn't have her "sliding scale" which she hasn't been on since she went into the hospital. They now have her on set doses before every meal. She either doesn't remember or is just being stubborn about it. She didn't take it. Don't know if she took it before supper because I left. Couldn't take the yelling. I happened to have a dr appt. with our family GP and told him about it, and he just said to call him if her levels got around 4-500.

My one sister that lives in town and I are ready to just say "fine, let her do what she wants" because she obviously doesn't care enough about her health, so why should we.

 Your kids are playing you. Time for that game to stop. I would have told them "darn right you are not going to like it". Then they would have gotten the look of death. Even our grand's know not to cross that line.

 They are old enough to understand that their actions have consequences. I bet seeing you cry made a BIG impression on them.

 That is what I was thinking.  Hopefully they feel really bad that they made you cry.

Morning everyone.

Hi Everybody!

Very excited about these high temps. Mother Nature is doing exactly what we need here, a slow melt.

We've had 40s for the past several days. Today might hit 50. And no flooding yet, that I can see.

Yay!

Enjoy the day!

Well. I got up and got dressed and went to work. But I am NOT happy about it.

Although at the first store I stopped at, they bought almost 3x's the number of items I was expecting. So that's helping my mood a bit. 💰💵

I just needed to step back from several things for a bit. Regroup, if you will.

Thanks...:)
