A new CH for us all.

YAY !! more space to chat !!!!

Sweet dreams all.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day !!! G'nite

Hi all.

We are supposed to get some milder weather for a few days. It will be a nice treat.

Good Morning.
Yes milder weather here also.
Forecast in the lower 70's today--then colder--around 38 tomorrow. if this kind of fluctuation keeps up we will soon all be sick.

Housecleaning is on the agenda for today.

Good morning. I slept in.
I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

Sleeping in sounds wonderful. I Usually do not sleep In but I have been lucky, and have slept well the last 2 nights. I has been glorious.

Yes, but I slept until 8:15 and my older daughter was coming up at 9. That didn't give me enough wake-up and coffee time. But we all survived.

Well, at least it was your daughter. I am sure she would/did understand.

She did.
I got a lot done today. Tomorrow I'll concentrate on laundry.

I am glad for you, Tina.

I too got a lot done---but there will be more to do tomorrow.

and PS has anyone seen the clip to my ace bandage??? it is gone--and I would not care but I am worried it is hidden in my dushwasher---and yes I have looked.....twice.

Gnite everyone sweet dreams

A good night's sleep does wonders doesn't it?

We had freezing rain through the night. If the road conditions improve, I might head up to get my grandson. He has been asking to sleep over. Mind you, after a few hours....he asks to go home

GG stuck a few clementine seeds into my schleffera pot...and one has sprouted. I wonder if I could transplant it if I took a large amount of soil with it. Any advice?

Good morning.
Yes, you can transplant citrus easily, Sunny. I have an orange tree that needed transplanting several times before finding it's happy place in my yard. Good luck.
Good morning. Up early. It's going to be a lovely day to get something done. I hope it's a good Friday for all.

Good morning. Yep...by all means transplant the clementine sprout. Disturb it as little as possible. It makes me smile that GG gets to see what happens when a seed is planted. Good for you both.

Happy Friday to you all.

busy day...and popcorn tonight. It was a good day.

Sweet Dreams to you all.

I had a very busy day as well.
Sweet dreams all.

GG is a gardener for sure. Love it.

It was in the 80's here today. Looking back at pictures we had ice on this date in 2015. I don't like the heat but I'd rather not have ice.

Colt got an award at school today for good behavior. Will wonders never cease.

I prefer heat to ice as well, Sheri.

Kids can sure surprise us can't they ? I will say this though. A child may behave one way at home, and another away from home. How he behaves away from home is the one that matters. Apparently Colt knows how to behave. That can make us all smile.

I tried to go to sleep. That did not work, so I got up and did more housework. On my tablet now........

I'll transplant it this week...I need a good pot.

Yay for Colt.

Grandboy is here...he asked for his coat last night but decided to stay. He sure is a lot quieter and easier to look after than GG. The are both going to their mom's later.

Good morning. I really need my coffee this morning. Having a hard time waking.
I hope everyone has a super day.

Sunny, how old is grandboy now? Darbi was and still is a very easy child but my 2 grandsons are much easier than Aubry who is 10.

From 80 yesterday to 50 today and raining. I'll be praying for this weather in August though so I'm trying not to complain - too much anyway :)

Why do some people want to ruin things for others? A lady at church has a son who is 4, is just now learning his alphabet, can't write his own name and she's upset that he can't participate in the Wednesday night children's class because the age starts at 5. And it starts at 5 simply because it's a Bible study so the children need to be able to read at least a little and at least be able to copy a memory verse off the board. This woman has come to me once and now Johnny once demanding her child be allowed to come and now that she's been told the reasons why he can't she's started bad mouthing me and the entire program and is saying we don't do anything except play during that time. That it's just a long recess and not about God. So far she's caused people to make only positive remarks about the program because parents have seen what their children have been bringing home and have heard what they are learning but I have a feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better. At this point I'm trying to ignore here because I don't want to tell her what I think about her.

sounds to me as if she is looking for a babysitter...you know for free ???

and you know what they say...the squeaky wheel gets the grease.......and apparently she has learned that.
NEXT TIME point out how her child is learning how NOT to follow the rules.

Sweet dreams all.

My thoughts exactly.

It is snowing out at the moment. GG is at her mom's and DH got called to work. I might just clean and mop today...it looks dreary out there.

Good morning.
I think I would invite the son and the mother to one class at least. To show her what is done and what he needs to do.If he can't cut it, She's got her answer. She will see that he isn't ready.
Today I'm going to do the things I didn't do yesterday. That;s what most of my days feel like they go.
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

We went to church, ate too much for lunch, took a nap. Ginger and her crew are in the pool in Tampa.

Good suggestion Tina but at this point I"m done. The dad called Johnny and told him they want to meet and tell us ways we need to change the program. Instead of a Bible study they want it to be singing and worship. Instead of skits and Bible games they want it to be prayer and they want it open for all children in the church no age limit. They want a curriculum rather than the Bible to be the guide. Johnny told them he wasn"t changing things so the mom wouldn"t make eye contact with me this morning and the dad refused to speak to Johnny. Their little boy is in my Sunday School class and a while back his father told me that they felt like he"s too smart for my class. I told dad at that time to move him up to the next age group, which starts at 7 years but he said “well there might be a problem because of his skills”. I deal with this little boy as best as I can in class because he talks over me, is loud, rude, spit on a girl last Sunday, and has tried to hit me before. He told me this morning his dad told him he"s a genius. I"m not making an effort to speak to them again.

MY 2 oldest Grandsons ARE very intelligent. VERY. The oldest was talking in 4 or 5 word sentences at around 12 to 18 months. CLEAR words.
Neither of them act like that.

The boy you are talking about, may be bright...but genius he is not....and he also has NO clue how he should behave. and good behavior can be/should be taught.

While I am glad they bring him to church, it does not sound as if he is benefiting from it.

With a clearer picture of the child (and the parents), I agree that you're handling everything well, Sheri.

I slept for like 5 or 6 hours this afternoon. I think this was to make up for the night before last when I slept like 3 hours.

I am hoping to get back to sleep so this lack of sleep does not continue.

Sweet Dreams everyone.

I think I am back on a regular sleep schedule. Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. I guess that's coffee all around. It is cold here but not freezing and snowy like they were calling for. I'll take it.
I hope everyone has a great Monday and a peaceful President's day.

Good Morning.. Yes, coffee here as well.

Rain, rain, & MORE rain here. accompanied with an occasional clap of thunder. am just thankful it is not ice.

I will finish straightening up the house & doing laundry today.

I wish you all a wonderful and warm day.

Junie were you able to sleep last night after taking that 5 hours nap?

Rainy and 70 here today. Thursday is supposed to be 79°. I'm wondering if we're going to have another cold snap. When it's this warm this early July and August are usually unbearable.

Tina how are you drought wise?

We are very drought-y. Last years rains filled our reservoirs and such but this year very little was added. They are talking reinstating the water conservation rules of yore.

Sheri--yes I was able to sleep just fine. I went to bed around 11:30 & woke up around 7:30. I think my lack of sleep has been taken care of.

I was supposed to go to a wake this evening. BUT I am thinking of not going and sending my friend a card. I really do not want to be soaked going into the Funeral home & then again coming back out. WE shall see what my cousin says.

The rain stopped so we went to the wake. I am glad we did. My friend was happy to see us. she was close to her brother & so welcomed friends to talk to.

Tomorrow is Tuesday,,YAY for Carol

I am soon off to sleep. sweet dreams...

Yay for Carol!
Sweet dreams all..

Hi all.

Yesterday was our first provincial "Family Day" holiday. I got to spend mine with my uncles because their worker did not show up to work. The new holiday wasn't registered federally so they refused to pay her for working a holiday.

It was a long day, three middle aged men who have schizophrenia are a handful. They really need a care home.

Today is a back to normal day.
