You can ask Siri or plug it into google Dumb question maybe but is a cup always the same amount? I mean there are tons of different size cups... š Cup to ml conversion in Google is telling me it is 250ml or 60ml for 1/4cup. It is a standard unit of measurement. We aren't talking the size of drinking cups.

No plans today, probably won't leave the house. We got some freezing drizzle/rain so the roads are slick. I guess I'll just work out at home today instead of trying to get to the gym.
For now, I'm drinking coffee while Evie is playing with puffy paints. I need to do some cleaning . And I'm sure we will watch the Olympics all day.

GM, I wasnāt around yday. We took the kiddos to a water park so was busy all day w that. So today I plan on hanging here and doing valentine things. Iām making flamingoās famous red cookies- I saw some of you were going to attempt them, howād it go? Then I need to help B make a valentine collection box for her school party as well as put together valentines for both the kidsā classes. I didn't attempt them, yet, but I've made the red velvet crinkle cookie recipe that's on the back of the box, and that was really easy. I'm assuming it's the same thing but I'll be adding m&ms to the mix for added color and decoration.

Cadence wet the bed, so she came to my room at 7. I was really looking forward to sleeping in this morning. Clearly no one else in the house will let me. We need to go to the grocery store today and I told Cadence we would go look at bikes and hunt for LOL hamsters. She said she wants to start by going to Starbucks. Sounds like an intense day

I'm exhausted. I told mh I needed to sleep in and then when Charlie woke up at 545, he didn't even stir and there was no way I was going back to sleep, so, basically, today is like any other day in my life. I don't normally care, but I'm grumpy today, getting af, it's gross out, and I've been staring at a screen researching things about the house in all my free time, so I just wanted today to start differently.

tallb That sounds excessive. Iā. The worst with doing play dates though so maybe itās me. Like guster said, thereās not enough time during the week and the weekends are family/laundry/cleaning time.

mwhip I think our roads are a bit slick too. I told mh last night that he needs to take E out for some one on one time and I was going to do a little shopping but this puts a damper on that. Hopefully the sun will come out

yummeecookee reminded me, how much ml/grams is a cup of vegetable oil. We have the metric system over here... The recipe I was doing yesterday for risotto was in grams. Now I want to thank my math teachers for making me learn the metric system too...because when will I ever need that?

Morning ladies!
Stay home day here. Today is Tim's only day off this week so we are spending it together. Yesterday, Layla and I's "girl's day" was a little rocky but we made it through. I really should blame myself, I rarely take her to stores if I can help it, so she hasn't learned the patience required for boring grocery stores.
We went to a Japanese steakhouse last night for my nieces bday. Layla loved the "show" but woke up disappointed that she didn't catch the shrimp. Maybe I'll just start tossing food at her mouth cause at those prices I doubt she will get much practice lol.

We are at ninja class the past two weeks we've had to coax C to join. He doesn't want to do the warm up and just wants to do the obstacles. They are super strict about warm up though so we have 7 minutes to convince him or he can't join. I got him in today at 3mins by promising ice cream at McDonald's after.
Because Dh is away and I needed to drive I didn't take pain meds and I have a headache from the pain at this point. Dh should be home early afternoon so I'm hoping to medicate and take a nap.
Tonight we are meeting my parents for Mexican. I haven't had real Mexican in ages so I can't wait.

Hi from work!! I'm back working Sundays again. Cause I don't want rotating schedules. I did ask for Easter off so someone will have to work that. If they close because I'm not covering I will be complaining. It feels like whenever I don't step up and do something it gets cancelled or forgotten. I got here early so I'm enjoying a donut and milk. C is taking LO to get his haircut today. That's all that is really planned.

I know. We BARELY see each other during the week and it's always rushing to do something, so we take our vegging out seriously on the weekends. I also think that since j is with friends 40 hours a week, he wants downtime too. But we do need a better social network, just don't want to force it. Ironically, I met a new family in our building doing laundry Friday night..and saw the mom was out running with her baby yesterday, which is one shared interest. I'd be more game for hanging out with them. Oh well.

Morning! We're driving back home today.
My sisters want to stop at Bass Pro Shop because we've never been to one. I have less than zero interest in that outing.

Dh is baking pancakes for the kids (more crepe style over here and you eat them for dinner, not breakfast). When the kids are down for the night weāre eating tapas ourselves, I bought dates with cream cheese, olives, Serrano ham, mozzarella, nice bread and some other things, canāt wait!

C is currently wheeling B's old toddler golf club set around the house; she's also been fairly adept (for a 15 month old) at using his real clubs to hit balls in the front yard. If I can get them *both* into golf then mH can take them out to play and I will have alllll the free time.

Morning! The in laws just left and Dh is picking N up from Sunday school.
My only project for today is to finish making a new dog bed ācaveā for gus. Dh is sick of him coming into our bed so he wants him to have a better dog bed.
Then our friends with the newborn are coming for dinner, so Iāll need to run to the store for taco fixings.
