Merme

I aim to please

Gotta go deal with some laundry, back later.

Good morning from California!

Good Morning all,
Got up early today , Joe got up and went to work...and then finally Mom woke up... she is sleeping later now and that is nice but wish I could... we got her showered and dressed a while ago too... she is so funny- insists she is cold- have a heater in there going on high... I about suffocate it's so warm, then after we are done and she is out here reading she tells me it's hot in here---
Joseph is playing in his tournament games today and tomorrow.. they won yesterday and the night before, Carrie said he played really well- had it all together and did it all right- one of the games was delayed cause one of his teammates was knocked down and his head bounced twice off the floor.. he ended up with a concussion= - second in 3 days for him she said- I was suprised his folks let him play after one... I wouldn't have but that's me.. hopefully he will be okay... Carrie said every Mom in the gym gasped out loud when it happened, instant silence- and then they all went to him and his folks called an ambulance for him... haven't heard how is now - praying okay.
It's a nice sunny day here today - suppposed to be in the high 80's, if I can I am going to go out and plant some seeds and set out my stepping stone Carrie gave me for Mother's day.. it has stick figures of her boys- one tall and 3 more a each a little smaller than the next... and it says Nana's Bunch on it- putting it in my rose bed.
Well going to go take my bath and get myself busy for the day- really need to get some stuff done.
Nana

I'm back for a bit.

When Maxi came home this morning, I cooked him a nice breakfast and then we watched a movie together. It was okay but didn't make it to our "favorites" list! It is still gloomy outside, but since the rain has stopped, I let him ride his bike down the road to his friend's house. He doesn't have to be home til 5 PM, so I may not see him all afternoon if the weather holds!

I'm trying to get things done and get well-organized for next week because after my surgery on Tuesday, I'm not sure how much I'll feel like doing for a few days! I have a sneaky feeling Maxi and I might be eating take out on Tuesday and Wednesday!

Merme

I keep leaving the forum because we are in a weird storm pattern.

We get one or two claps of thunder and then it rains really hard for about 5 or 10 minutes. Then nothing. By the time I start shutting everything down, it stops!

Don't know how long this is going to last, but it sure is odd.


Merme

please send some rain my way! It seems like I'm watering every morning and night and it's only May! ground is cracked, and dust everywhere. we had a long day of errands, a movie, shopping, eating. the a/c has stopped working in the truck and it hit mid 90's. inside now in the a/c relaxing. I might go out to the porch in a bit and watch lightening bugs and look for bats. it's nice out now. gotta do a kid b-day thing tomorrow which doesn't start till noon and will be somewhat outdoors as well. send that rain quick! ha ha

............or New Brunswick

Good morning, everyone!


Merme

I just put a pork tenderloin in the crock pot along with some BBQ sauce. I've always heard that is the best way to cook those things and I'm so hoping it turns out good!

And now that the coffee is finally on, I'm ready to get out of this chair for a while.

Merme

'Afternoon everyone.I'm bored.

it's too hot here to be bored. 95 and 70% humidity, the adjusted temp is 107. too hot to move.

Aftertoon! I'm kind of bored but we're going to start dinner soon.

we just finished eating dinner. chicken/broccoli alfredo. good stuff. now, i have to go put it all up. so we can eat it for lunch tomorrow.

I'm cookin' up a Hot Pocket in my toaster oven.I'm going back to my garden soon.

i used to love hot pockets, but prefer home made stuff these days.

I am not and never was real fond of hot pockets--but I do like pre-made foods quite well--esp since I do not 'cook' on sundays.--well rarely do I cook on sundays--most all othere days yes, i do

mmmm a hot pocket sounds good right now, lol havent had one in a looonnnggg time! Im going to be working outside in the garden all day tomorrow... I might go to walmart and get some sunflower seeds that are on sale and maybe some more 4 o-clock seeds the ones i planted a while back i think i planted to deep so they didn't grow ohhh well my they sure are a pretty plant though... my moon flowers and morning glory vines are growing a lot better! Much better than those sweet peas haha i cannot beleive i made that mistake with the sweetpeas haha but yea... aphids have been attacking all of our bushes and starting to my moonflower and morning glorys so im going to put some spray on things tomorrow ive tried doing some other things for the last few days on the big bushes but it does not help my goodness though i dont know there name but aphids sure loves it any new growth and their on it like white on rice! lol i think ill take some pics for you all tomorrow my climbing rose is doing great i got a trelis for it to put up tomorrow it is so pretty!

hey carol girl how are you?

sorry I missed this---Scott. I am so so. not so good-not so bad---I have an appointment with a specialist a week from wednesdauy so hopefuly he will help me set things to right. The good news is I feel pretty good.

Good morning.

Started drinking instant coffee so I don't think any of you would want a cup but I do have fresh molasses drop cookies.

Good morning, everybody!

Today has been hectic already and it is only just after 9 AM. I hate when life falls apart so early! And of course it is my agency causing all the ruckus. I really can't stand it first thing in the morning!

Now my girl is off running a bunch of errands for me and I'm trying to get myself and my home in order because I don't know what I'll be feeling like after the surgery tomorrow.

Maxi got all of our laundry done over the weekend, so at least we don't have to worry about that! But I really do need to send someone to our storage unit and bring back his bin of summer clothes... I can't keep cutting his long pants down 'coz then he'll have no long pants!

Merme

my kids have suddenly decided they don't like wearing shorts. and it's pretty HOT here! at least my daughter will wear skirts. but my son...I sweat just seeing him going outside in his jeans. then on top of that, he has that long hair the kids are sporting these days.

It's too cold here to worry about shorter pants, in fact the other night we were wearing our winter coats again.

Is your storage unit in your building Merme?

Unfortunately, the storage unit is in another town about 3 miles from here, Tam, so it is always an issue to find someone to run over for me.


Merme

Oh, I understand now.

I am wishing Maxi had a gizmo to attach a water bottle to his bike. He likes to go for long rides and usually ends up dragging a backpack along for his thermos. A holder for a water bottle would be ideal but I'm wondering if I should look at a place like Wal-Mart or a bike shop?

Yesterday he came in after a long ride with severe signs of dehydration. I made him drink up and then he took some Tylenol and laid down and went to sleep for an hour. I'd like to avoid that happening!

Merme

if it were me, I'd try walmart first. i would think they would be more reasonable there. I'd just watch what kind of bottle holder you get in regards to it's size and design. one of my son's bikes came with a water bottle holder and it's own bottle. the bottle that came with it was very cheap and soon broke, it was also oddly shapped. a regular water bottle wouldn't fit in the holder without falling out. and, we tried several different sizes, shapes, brands of water...nothing worked.

I second the Wal-mart, it would be alot cheaper Merme.

Good morning. Or afternoon to some. I haven't been on as much. I have been having internet connection issues. It is a verizon issue not my own, but it drives me bonkers. I can get connected but it doesn't stick around long.

I just have internet issues........it takes forever to upload anything.

Well, think I'll call it a night. Took me almost an hour to upload 6 pics...

Hey everyones getting things i just got me a brand new laptop1 its so freakin awesome!

Good for you Scott!I can't afford a laptop at the moment;besides I don't need one I'm fine with my desktop.By the way,how are you?

Good morning, rise and shine. The rain has stopped again and the sun is trying hard to peak out.

Coffee is on...

'morning!

Going to be 85 here today, and then thunderstorms later and all day tomorrow.
Seems like another year that spring has passed us by - went right to the heat of summer!

I have more errands to run today, and then need to take Amy for a dr's appointment. What's on everyone else's list for the day?

Good morning!!!

well it is ceramics day for me---yippee!!1
then after I need to pick up a few groceries and then go pick up some cards for the next week.

then home to try to start some cleaning----or perhaps just to do some gardening---depends on the weather---

Hey no cleaning or gardening for you....aren't you supposed to be taking it easy?

Wanna pick up my groceries too?

like I said--(somewhere???)---I was so very good and this STILL happened to me--AGAIN----so I am going to clean until the next surgery----someone has to do it--I asked my girls for help, it didn't happen.heck--they have still to call & ask how I am doing--even val has not------

DH is willing to help, and I get tired of telling him how & when---I do still get him to take out the trash and clean his shower though.

sure when I am out I will pick up your groceries as well---give me the list.

morning all!
buying groceries and fixing things is about the only chores I ask hubby to do. and he does both very well. I think they purposely screw things up so you won't ask for thier help cleaning. ha ha
been out watering and raking this morning. about to go out and mow a patch and I'll be done with outside stuff. then back in to clean.
