My dh doesn’t like onion, so I just pre-cooked them and added them to mine.

I love onions--raw, cooked, doesn't matter. My favorite soup is onion soup, by the way.

I'm glad he stayed local this time, to be closer to you, his sweetie.

Aww

boo, they removed the free soda on the main restaurants of the allure. In the other hand, the internet is surprisingly fast.

Well, that's too bad about no more free soda,. But if I was given a choice, I'd take the better internet connection any day over soda. It's much more important that you can communicate with us here in a timely manner, as we're all living vicariously through your fun cruise. (My day at work today didn't even come close to the day you're having, aboard a cruise ship!)

Eek, it has been freezing drizzle/mist all day and now it was announced that all afterschool activities have been canceled. I have a short drive home so I'm not worried about that but I'm a little concerned about the walk through our parking lot. Maybe I'll watch the kids walk through it first on the way to their bus and then I will know how carefully I need to walk!

Hope you made it across the parking lot and home in once piece!

Nice job. Was it hard to run the wires?

The Netgear Arlo camera on our front porch is wireless, and attaches to a magnetic base. It just needs to be brought in the house for charging every now and then...!!!

It was fine just wet, although my windshield was all ice. Now I'll just have to worry about tomorrow. The temp will be lower so all the stuff that was wet will freeze.

ooo maybe SNOW DAY!?

Not a whole day off, maybe a 2 hour delay if it is super icy. I'm not banking on it though.

Today’s Drama with 21Stamps-


T has 3 tests tomorrow. Spanish, Science, and Language Arts.
He did not bring one book home from school today. NOT ONE. I’m furious.

For the second time in a month- I’m so mad at my son right now. So mad that I had to take a deep breath and collect myself before talking to him. I spoke calmly,, didn’t lose my temper like I thought I would. But I almost did just now.
I have taken his Switch, his iPad, his Echo, locked his playroom- after I rounded up toys in his room and put them in as well. He is grounded from everything.

He doesn’t have an excuse. Just a “Mom, I’m sorry, I just forgot!”

How do you forget???????


I think he’ll do fine on the Spanish and Language Arts... but he still wasn’t answering correctly/ fully understanding the Science material when we studied over the weekend. This is a huge test.. a huge part of their science grade.. and my kid didn’t bring home the books to study.

I just told him to get ready for bed, that I’m disappointed in him, and he better pray to God that he doesn’t fail a test.
Probably not the best thing for me to say, but I just don’t understand how he would do this.


His bedtime is not usually 9:30/10pm.I typed up a vocabulary study guide with many of the science words last week.. he was able to study those tonight. They’ve been preparing for this since before Christmas break. We are so busy, all of the time.. that we must be wise with our time and studying. He knows all of this!!!! I’m calming down and going to give him some words of encouragement when he comes out of the shower., but I’m so worried about his performance tomorrow.

Sounds like some of my students. In the end he might not do as well as if he studied but it could also open his eyes to the importance of studying if he doesn't do well.

Are you on the Allure right now? I’m assuming - yes?

It’s was pure carelessness. This better be the one and only time.

The only way he is allowed to do so many extracurriculars, is IF he can master time management, and keep good grades.

We have an old washer, and only one of the cycles (permanent press) works. So we use that one. The heavy duty cycle, delicates cycle, and medium cycle don't work. But hey, 1 out of 4 does.

Time for a new/“new” washer?
Youngest DD found our most recent one used on FB for a really good price, and everything works...!!!

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, out for now...!
Sweet dreamin’/mornin’ to one and all...!!!

It actually washes the clothes just fine. Everything we have is permanent press anyway, so if only one setting on the machine is Permanent Press, and it's the only one that works--we lucked out!

For those of you with kids, and who shop at this store for clothing, etc. -- I heard on the morning business report that GYMBOREE is closing down all 900 stores, and filing for bankruptcy.
