A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2505

Good morning. Congratulations on your new family, Sunny. Don't fall in love with the babies too much. That would be hard for me.
I was up quite a bit during the night. But I think I will power on with my day. I won't get a lot done today but I will get Teddy to school. He was not up with me.

Good Morning. Yep, do not get too attached to the cows, Sunny. YAY for the good deals though. Thanks for the kind words.

I have grocery shopping & bill paying to do today. Then think I may spread some dirt in my flower beds. It is supposed to rain all week, so no planting but hey, the new/refill dirt can be added.

I am off to get my coffee.

I spent the night with Darbi and Aubry last night and am going back tonight. Colby might get to start rehab Wednesday. I sure hope so. He's eating now so he'll gain some weight quickly I hope.

It is gorgeous weather wise and I think it's supposed to be all week.

Darbi's birthday is this week and Colt's is next week. Gotta check out Amazon.

I got my kid to school and stopped to shop. I put that away and then a neighbor came up and visited for awhile. Now I'm zoning until time to pick him up.

Happy Birthday to Darbi. A I am so happy to hear that Colby is still progressing.

A birthday is always a good reason to party !! Yay for Darbi & Colby.
So glad to hear he is doing so well.

I am off to run some errands myself--- TTY all L

And now I get to go to bed. I did take a nap this afternoon but I'm still lacking. I hope my dog sleeps well tonight.
Sweet dreams all.

Once again washed 3 loads of clothes..really this increasing laundry has got to stop.

I need to go back to washing clothes 1 day a week like I used to when the girls were home.

going to bed soon. Sweet Dreams to you all.

Good morning.

It is wonderful to hear that Colby is improving such as he is, enjoy your time with your Grandgirls as well Sherri.

I hope Tina got her night's sleep.

Junie, it seems that I wash clothes here everyday as well but with a bit of a schedule...every day DH's clothes needs to be washed, towels every second day, sheets twice a week, dish towels once a week and my clothes twice a week, GG's once a week.

I just took apart all the faucet spouts to clean them out(we get sand in our water in the spring)....and lost the rubber seal down the drain. I swear I just make more running for myself every time I try to help myself.

Good morning.
I did get a full night's sleep, Sunny. I was just up once letting the dog out. So it's going to be a good day.
I don't do laundry on a schedule but I get it done. I don't like to let it back up. And today I will get some dome.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good afternoon.

I have started to tackle DH's shed for spring garbage pickup day....how can one person save so much junk? It will take me a few days to get it back to the way I had it before Winter...that is if he doesn't try to put the garbage back in.

I hope it doesn't go back in, Sunny. I still have not organized John's main shed the way I want it. He's been gone almost seven years now.

John has bene gone almost 7 years now?? WOW it sure does not seem like that much time has gone by.

I can clean out things but most of the stuff I remove form an area seems to go right back in.
Take today as an example. Before I went to ceramics today I cleaned out 3 drawers in my bathroom. I got rid of stuff but ya know, the drawers do not look any emptier.

Internet keeps going down..I have no idea why--but oh well...

Yes, 7 years next month. Some of it feels like less time and some feels like more. It is an odd thing.
I have drawers all over that I need to clean up. They get messy fast.

about the drawers.

back in the day I used to have a messy house but my drawers & cabinets were meticulous. Used to make my sister crazy. Now---the drawers & cabinets have gone by the way side so far as neatness goes. Oh well...

The way I see it, I only have so much energy to spend each day. It is less these days than when I was younger. You know, like 50? When I use it up, I am useless until I get sleep.
So things are messier these days.
That being said, I'm going to bed now. Sweet dreams all.

And my dog had me up at 1:30. I have not been back to sleep yet.
Good morning. I guess I won't be taking the man-child to school today. I am glad he is so amenable about these things. I think I will take him out to the car wash today though. An outing different than our usual. And shorter.
I can do some more around the house today.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning, I hope you get some rest Tina. Teddy must love your little trips and outings together

Junie, I started putting little baskets in a few of my drawers....it keeps 'like' things together without rolling around.

I woke up to water in the crawl space in the basement (DH set up the sump pump before leaving for work)...and surface water in my well. Guessing spring is really here.

Tina: I do hope that you get some sleep today. And yes it is good that Teddy is so agreeable to your change of plans. I went to the car wash on Monday, now all I need to do is vacuum the insides & that job is done for a bit..
I have been up since 5:15. I am tired already also.

Sunny. So glad that your DH thought to set up the sump pump before he left. That helped you I am sure.

Thanks for the idea of baskets. I saw wooden trays in Ikea when my sister & I went last week, and then here inexpensive, but I did not know the sizes of my drawers, so I did not buy any. The idea of baskets is a good one, thanks.

I think I need to go drink more coffee, so I can begin my day.

Well ladies guess I am really cheap.. I take boxes the right size for my drawer and cut them down to the right depth for the drawer..tape how ever many I need together and cover with contac paper to make cubbies for storing odds and ends... cereal boxes are good for this.. only drawer I use bought holders in is for silverware...
It must be the week for not sleeping well.. I woke up at 430 this morning... did go to Carrie's and finished up teaching.. we finished all of our stuff for the year... he has some math to do yet with his Dad and it will be done for the year. he is happy... me too...

I made a big batch of stew in the crockpot yesterday.. today took some and cut the meat and veg up smaller yet and thickened up the juice some ,stuck it in a pie shell,will bake it till it browns up and it will be dinner... I will be hitting my pillows early I think...Joe has another doc appt tomorrow and after we will go out for lunch with Nicoli to celebrate the end of school for him.

Well off to get dinner in the oven , already walked Milo... he is so happy now that most of our snow has melted finally..

Nana

I like cheap, Nana. Thanks for the idea...now to see if I have some contact paper around here.

enjoy your outing & lunch tomorrow also.

We used Velveeta boxes as drawer dividers when I was a kid. But that is not an option anymore because I don't buy the stuff. It is full of things I won't feed my kids now. And the boxes are much wimpier.
Enjoy your celebration lunch tomorrow, Nana.
Sweet dreams all. I'm headed to bed.

I think I will be on a mission to find boxes & such & use contact paper to dress them up for my drawers.

This should be such fun. YAY for me !

Ya, the only time I ever buy Velveeta is when I am making that dip with Rotel. and I have not done that for like 15 or more years.

Sweet Dreams everyone. I need to go to sleep...I am way late getting to my pillows.

Good morning.

Junie, the dollar stores sell contact paper....some of it is so pretty that it could make wallpaper. They use it here to line the backs of those cheap bookcases, it fancies them right up.

Nana, smart idea on the boxes.

I am thinking Tina sent me some warmth and sunshine. It is 8 am and it is beautiful outside....the snow should take a beating today.

Good morning. I am up and ready for the day. I was only up a couple of times with the dog.
I will take Teddy to school and stop on the way to the bank on my way. Then get some business taken care of before I come home. I need to get some milk too.
I hope your spring has come to stay, Sunny.

Good Morning !!

I should be out running some errands this morning.
It is supposed to be sunny until the afternoon.
Then the rain is supposed to begin again.

Thanks for the heads up, Sunny....

I went to the bank, took Teddy to school and went to the store. I came home and put that away and cooked up a big pot of goulash. Or what passes for it in my kitchen. I got my trash together to take to the dumpster.
I think I will make another stop before picking up the boy.

Hi all,

I got a new computer for my office, the old one was about 6 yrs old and getting so slow and shut itself off a few times , since it's the one I keep the bills and that kind of stuff on we decided it needed to be replaced,, got a new one with Windows 10 on it but so far so good.... insurance co decided we have to get hubby's scrips from the mail order service now or we pay full price for them... can't afford that , even for the only one he takes .. so got that set up today... should be easier now that it's on automatic refill... glad I don't have to do that with mine... at least not yet...

Nicoli and I finished up our lessons yesterday... he still has a few with his dad and mom and school will be over for him this year... we had out breakfast out this morning after hubby's appt... he is getting so much better he ate his whole breakfast , unusual for him to finish ... (knocking on wood here) he has gained height and weight in the last few months , a wonderful thing for a kid with CVS, he was undersize for his age for the last few yrs,, he is catching up now.... Nana is doing a happy dance, he can't wait till he too is taller than me... has about 6 inches to go.

Well off to see what else I can get done... our weather is wonderful today here, sun is out , snow is almost gone... Yay.. hopefully that was last snow for this year... can't plant yet but at least it looks like spring now...

Have a wonderful rest of the day !
Nana

New computers are fun, Nana. I'm glad is eating and growing.

a new computer--YAY that is always nice. I like the Windows 10 well enough also..

Sweet dreams all. I was napless today and I can really feel it.

well, I found bill I nee3ded to pay. I stuff things away when I am cleaning & forget where they are, But hey I found it and in plenty of time--so good for me.

I am wide awake now---My nap was just 30 minutes long this afternoon so I have no idea why I am awake now. But I am--I think I will go find a movie to watch.

Sweet Dreams to you all.

Good morning.

Junie, you can come find my bills to pay as well if you'd like.

GG comes home today for the weekend. I have a few errands to run at the same time.

My snow has melted quite a bit, we ended up with two days of warm weather...now if everyone can just keep their sump pumps going we will be o.k.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning. I'm up a little early. But I slept well. So it's going to be a good Friday. And it's cooling off a little.
Celebrating melting snow with you, Sunny.
Today Teddy is going to the Orange Show. That's like a county fair here. So that will be fun for him. I have to get him ready for that and pack extra in his lunch. The rest will be a regular Friday.

Good night all.
Teddy went to the Orange show today. He had a good time and ate all kinds of things that he normally won't touch. But not the lunch they fed him. No hot dogs or plain milk for my kid. I had packed him a lunch but the teacher didn't take it. He was one hungry dude when he got home and ate his packed lunch and a few other things. He rode on a carousel and kissed a goat. It was a good Teddy day.
Sweet dreams everyone.

I am so glad that Teddy had a good time, new experiences for him must be a joy. Just as long as he doesn't decide he wants a goat for a pet now.

I have another b-day party today to take GG to...I need to get groceries as well so it all works out, the party is just a 3 minute drive from the store.

Yay for good logistics, Sunny.
Good morning. I've been up and out pulling weeds. It was a lovely way to spend sunrise.
I will get laundry and housework done today. Not so lovely but progress nevertheless.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Hello: I have not been around. Sorry for that.
I hope that everyone is doing well.

Sunny: I am glad that your GG's party was so handy for you. Convenience is sure nice.

Tina: I am so glad that Teddy had a good time at his outing. Hopefully in future, his teacher will take his lunch with him.

Tonight we are going to see a Movie. We still have part of a gift certificate left from Christmas.

Enjoy your movie, Carol. You have been much missed.

Thanks Tina. I was just real busy around here & running errands. I will be gone much of tomorrow as well. But I think the rains/storms will keep me home for the most part next week.
