I cleaned and mopped, shoveled snow then just threw a meat pie in the oven for supper. After a long day of working, I think I deserve to make an easy supper lol

GG came home from school feeling nauseated again.....I'll call the school tomorrow to see if something is going around.

Oh my...I hate winter for many reasins, but anymore the main reason is what the kids bring home from school. My Grandson was home from school 2 days last week so the school could be scrubbed down. There were so many kids out sick they felt they needed to do that. They also asked parents to clean backpacks, shoes, coates, lunch boxes and anything a child was taking to school. I think they suggested Clorox wipes for the items that could not be put in the washing machine.

Good grief. Hope no one was there at the time.

One of the problems that happened in our schools when I was a school nurse is that Clorox was banned from being used in the schools for any reason. I think Clorox kills germs better than most other stuff. I'm glad you can send Clorox wipes.

Did I tell you guys that I've been to two cooking classes at our Ag Center? It's aimed at encouraging us to prepare food differently than we're used to doing - like bake instead of fry. Yesterday we cooked frog legs and scallops. My friend and I were the only 2 who sautéed our food. Everyone else stuck to the heavy breading and deep frying so I'm not sure why these people are coming except we get to eat free fish. I don't fry a lot of food anyway so I'm going to try the different types of fish. This week was nothing new for me but still fun even if it was nerve racking because a women showed up with her 2 children under 4 and one cried the entire time. I figure she must get some type of credits from WIC or Crisis Pregnancy for attending this class.

Sheri, what was the reason for not using Clorox at the schools ? I am curious to know. I was saying what the news said for parents to do at home, when the schools had been professionally cleaned after a major sickness.

About the winds..those are high winds, Tina. I hope you and yours are doing well. Be safe.

I am soon off to slerp. The Girls are coming tomorrow.

That class sounds fun, Sheri. Share more as it goes.
That was a record wind for that mountain. It was taken from an unmanned weather station that sends its results via computer or something. That is a record. I've never seen it blow much more than 100 mph. Don't walk under trees then.

Here they use Lysol for disinfecting at school......I've used it here often as well.

I don't fry much when cooking either except maybe fries twice a month. Nothing beats fresh fried cut potatoes as a treat. I have never eaten or want to eat frog legs though...fried or sauteed lol

DH got called out through the night for a work emergency, I have no idea what is going on yet but it can't be good because it never snowed at all through the night.

I have Lysol and bleach here at home. I use them both. And ammonia.

Heavens yes. I hope your DH arrived safely at home, Sunny.

Tina, There are some days that I think getting things done is over-,rated. Some days are for just doing nothing..well, no housework anyway.

I was washing dishes, but 2 of my GG's thought they should help, so the dishes are soaking..when is is naptime, I will change the water and finish the dishes.

It was, someone set fire to their work garage. They lost two plow trucks, a work truck and a back hoe. As well as all their supplies, the boss's work office, all the tools and such.....it is a disaster especially at this time of year. The police deemed it as suspicious but that's as far as it will go...it burned to the ground so how does one investigate for any evidence.

They are working on what will happen at the moment...it is Government owned so it'll take a few weeks to get things rolling. They'll borrow from another garage until then.

It is cold and windy today...at least the sun is shining.

I would like a cupcake please.

Clorox isn't considered green so the schools went to stuff that didn't do anything that I could tell. Whatever they used didn't even get the floors clean. I wasn't supposed to use Lysol in the health room but I did it when no one was looking. We weren't supposed to have Vaseline for chapped lips either.

Yes, after she tried a few to make sure they tasted good lol

GB went to preschool this morning and told them he couldn't stay all day because Grammie was having a big Valentine's party for him. He associates cakes with parties and GG told him she picked up a cake as a treat for today. haha

Yea, I do not have any cupcakes either. There were a few here, but Rod gave one to Henry this afternoon and then he ate the last one or two after supper tonight. Come on over, Sheri. I have a few chocolate covered strawberries left...I will share...even if they are not cupcakes.

Going to sleep soon.......nity-nite. Sleep well

We went to see my mother today. She has a terrible cough, doesn't feel well, doesn't want to go to the dining room, and my step dad is leaving her without food. He said he'd been to the grocery store but there was very little food in their apartment and nothing she'd want to eat, so I'm not sure if he thinks he went or if he lied. He has a friend that's taking him out to eat a lot of the time but he's not bringing my mother anything back. This is a nightmare.

On my God ! I am so sorry. How far from your mom do you live. Sounds to me as if someone needs to be bringing her meals. Is there a meals on wheels service in her area ?

11:42pm

Dropping back in to say goodnight. Sweet Dreams.
