My leukemia's back.

I agree. My teen learned how to make Jello a couple of weeks ago. You'd think he'd discovered a whole new food group. Has to dirty a measuring cup, and a pan, and several bowls, and an array of spoons... and use the gas stove to make it... when the microwave is sitting there just begging to be used... But... I guess it's progress!!! He can make Ramen noodles... Yep, the kid is all prepared for independent living now!

Our son survived 4 years of college eating mac n cheese and boiled hotdogs - Ramen noodles is a step up.

My son the eagle scout can not get over what his fellow college students do not know how to make.
He keeps telling me how they are ruining their brains on fake food.

Mom Points!

My daughter just imformed us she is going to a college near home so she can live at home. Her goal is to be debt free when she finishes college in nursing, with flight paramedic certification and pilot licenses in 4 years. turned down full ride at Ga tech in engineering- says she just didn't get the rush she did at her medical conferences like the other summers AND It was two far from home. 4 HRS drive was her max she told us. she said and I quote " do you know how much money I can save by going to college and living at home. " notice the terminology "I can save". Not can save you - mom and dad. There goes my new spa room.

Guess I'll have to let her keep her bedroom.

My chickens will not be getting that upgrade either. sorry girls, they'll have to live in their 2 story tract sup. barn and extension for now. shhhh... glad she's staying home

raising kids is so confusing on your emotions.

I was so sad when he left. I would go and sit in his room ...and feel badly about how I would give him a difficult time about his 'sty life'... and sigh. sadness,

Until, I discovered that I could store stuff in there.

Now I have to do some sort of magic miricale wizard stuff to get it cleaned out so he can sleep in his bed over Winter break.

great idea! she just needs the bed, and she can store clothes in her mini cooper, she'll have to sell the rest,but she'll need the money anyway. that will mean a trail to the bed and the rest of the space is mine. oh told her the spa idea. she agreed on the spa replacing her room. said she was going to need a place to relax on weekends. little smart donkey's rear end.

Still reading....
Turtles how did you find/figure out about being the 1% being allergic to meds??
Phil and all: Hope someone's having a not so down of a day!
Struggling a little today because this date is the one my dad died just after I turned 13. It keeps popping back into my brain. Plus I want to call my mom but what do you say??? We had a bit of a falling out this summer so we are still working on being on an even keel. Couldn't understand for years why I struggled with depression and never really enjoyed December except the candle light midnight service. Still am grateful for the time I did have with him despite the mistakes and struggles we both made.
Loved the flock photos! Rachel, So awesome about Echo!

And could you slow down just a little?? Are you trying to keep up with Blooie?!?

Think that's as far as I have read...
