Zen I watched "Fat, sick and nearly dead" even got dh to watch it...he is doing better with what he eats...made a really yummy vegan soup and he loved it..OMG....
I feel better already after dumping the BP meds..going to switch to a different allergy med tonight. It says non drowsy...have had medicine head in the AM so maybe this switch will help..I am my own doc....and I think I do a better job on some things..
My mother died 5 years ago today...we couldn't even bury her because the ground was frozen solid
...I miss her but she lived to be 91 so had a good life and she could be a bossy Irish lady at times but she meant well. Too dam cold to go to the cemetery today....will send her a message from here..

Bloody hell Dottie... that's awful about not being able to bury her. (

I think you'd like to see "The Gerson Miracle". You can watch it free online if you don't have Netflix. I'm my own Doctor too so I totally get what you're saying.

Mamaspottywhateverthehellyou'rewearingtodayyellown ickers... good luck with the job application. I shan't be watching your political docos... I'll stay with Orange thank you very much! ;o)

Your hair sounds nifty Niner... are we gonna get to see a pic of it? )

Back to paperwork hell! I'll be baaack when boredom strikes once more...

Zenny - I will try to take a Selfie when I get a chance so I can show you guys how I am rocking the Mohawk! LOL :H

Mama PolkaDotPanties - Tell Bri that COCONUT OIL kills lice!! I will try to find that link again (or another one). And tell her to shut the hell up, I have been a single mother for 16 years and always held my shit together. Suck it up. (Like my mentoring skills? LOL)

I started Dexter on Netflix last night. Wow...all I can say is that I pick the most violent, distrubing shows. I do have Lillyhamer on my "to do" list. And House of Cards. And a few others I can't remember at the moment.

One of the schools was here touring City Hall...it's so funny to see the Mayor "performing". We know what he's really like. I wonder if people that "Know" the President think the same thing when he's onstage?? Speaking of...I will not be watching the State of the Union Address...I will be at the gym watching the Serial Killer Dexter. HA

Morning everyone,
Mama, I bet those polka dot panties give you extra self-confidence, huh? I know I'd be feeling like a million bucks if I walked around knowing I had on some special panties. Err, actually, if I wore panties, I'd feel more than a little disturbed. I do like my flannel boxers, though. They feel extra special on my junk

K9, definitely post a pic for us.

So I ordered some mittens for my cat-to-be. Hopefully I'll find a good one on Friday when I go to the adoption place. Soon I'll be able to take pics of my cat wearing a unicorn horn and kitten mittens. I think I need to find something to go on his tail. Do they make anything for cat's tails?

We can call it 'MY WAY OUT....The Musical!' Do you think Roberta would give us copy rights??

Liz, Matt is still at Arivaca and will be until August. We do all his Therapy at home oveer the phone with his therapist (s). It was strange at first but now..no biggie.

DH and I had a big fight this morning over his letting the girls play computer before school when our house rule is No computers or TV before school...Anyway, Matt's therapist called soon after the girls left for school to ask me about a treatment plan for Mathieu and I mentioned that his dad and i were really 'In The Box' this morning so she basically did marital therapy...over the phone....at the exact moment I needed a third party to intervene...before I killed my husband!

Now How often have we all thought to ourselves (me included big time) how fantastik it woudl be to have a referee or a therapist or a hit man at the exact moment we were getting into it with our spouse or SO??? Well, I got that wish this morning and it was wonderful!!! We both got perspective and put back on the right track to parenting well...in fact Dena (matt's therapist) asked us 'Do you want to be right?...or do you want to be good parents?' Seems like an obvious answer but...

ANyway, that was my morning!
Will check back later- sorry I ddin't get to everyone. I need the cheat sheet Nora! :l

Kradle...I need to remember that. Bret and I always fight about who is right and who gets the last word in...ridiculous
SP - you put flannel on all the junk in your garage?? tee hee
K9 - I'll try to gently mention the Coconut Oil...she has calmed down now, but I had to play mother hen for about 20 minutes....jeesh

Mrs. Fen fled the southland early, to avoid snow...came home in the wee hours, but developed her fourth flat tire in two months on the way home from O'Hare! I am going to have to start measuring tire pressures for her, as she neglects doing that. Our plummeting temps have caused issues with tire pressure and I inflate my tires as needed. Not on Mrs. Fen's radar, though.

Babysitting her today.

Later, my peeps!

Youare so good to her Fen. Can you clone yourself please??
Home, freezing and eating KFC chicken pot pie. Lazy ass tonight.
After our nasty fight this morning, hubs and I are being kind of quiet. That's ok, though, as some things got said that needed to be said!
Have a lovely evening dears!

Hey Mama, I'll send you Dena's number! DH just tolD me that he will 'engage' the girls in the morning if they are up and ready before school instead of plopping them in front of the computer....so a win win here as I'm not going to fight anymore in front if them and we'll apologies tonight....:h

Fen you are a sweetie:l my husband happened to see my oil light on the other day and when he asked how long it had been kit I said, "oh...just few days, dear...' To which he immediately put palm to head and reminded me that if I didn't bring these things to his attention....one if us would be riding bike for awhile ...

Paula, baby, how are you ?? :l:h

Have to run and pack the girls dance bags...they souls have done it THIS MORNING BUT....OOOPS! I forgot...we're not going there anymore.....

All of this spousal angst makes me glad I am just going to the gym to catch up with the serial killer (Dexter)! That's the only drama I can take.

Oh...and WHN is totally redoing her room, she took her bed APART (it's a loft type) and the contents of her room are now spread throughout the house. I think I'll just go in my room and close the door....

I hope you enjoyed your KFC Mama...that sounds so yummy!

K9 my daughter has done the same thing with her bedroom. Must be an age thing! Contents everywhere and procrastination has set in. Drives me mad!

Sorry to hear you have the War of the Roses at your house tonight Mama. I hate it when there's an atmosphere... ugh. Netflix and chocolates! )

I like your therapist story Kradle... being right or being good parents... that was a good insight.

I had no idea about temperature and tire pressure... learned something today Fen.

I'm imagining Pete's new kitten with all kinds of stuff on it now... including flannel boxers!

Look forward to seeing the mohawk Niner!

I'm really tired tonight... I reckon it's going to be a REAL early night. Hope everyone's doing well.

Hiya Tree... you snuck in while I was off emptying the kitty litter mid-post! I'm like the poop police...

Tree - I told Sierra not to start something that she would get right into the middle of it and then regret starting! So far she is doing good, she seems determined to see it through until it's finished. For her sake, let's hope she does! :H

Hi Zenny! I will try to post the mohawk tomorrow, I have been swamped today! I don't really know how to "post" pictures anymore, I am banned from PhotoBucket at work...so all I can basically do is change my avatar. I swear they take away EVERYTHING fun at work...it's like they expect us to be productive or something. Geesh.
