Tuesday is terrific?

[guster]

Tuesday is my least favorite day of the week. I know most people hate Mondays, but I’m always ready and geared up for a Monday and then by Tuesday I remember I have to do it all over again and that’s annoying.
It’s gorgeous here today so I will definitely be getting Charlie outside but I am going to first spend this morning washing floors and vacuuming rugs.

[mwhip]

tgrimes How is your finger today?

Our weather is supposed to be great this week as well, lower 60s. I'd love to get outside and run, but this damn cold my kid gave me won't let up. It's settled in my chest so I now have a cough, plus sore throat and occasional headache plus ear aches. So that's fun.

Morning! Does anyone have easy gluten free brunch recipes? tallb? We are having a bunch of people over sun and one little girl has celiac so want to be sure I have things for her. Will do fruit and cheese & gluten free crackers for sure.

[tgrimes]

mwhip I bought some newskin liquid bandage spray and the butterfly bandaid thingys yesterday. It hasn't bled since i put it on there so hopefully I'm good.

[tgrimes]

We're having dinner tonight with some friends that moved to Mexico City. We haven't seen them in a couple years. I purposely picked a restaurant with half price bottles of wine and goat cheese stuffed bacon wrapped dates.

M woke up at 4 when A was getting ready for work. Said his head and belly hurt. He gave him tylenol and sent him back to bed. He still says he doesnt feel good so we'll play it by ear for school. He's so dramatic and was crying because we didn't have Gatorade. So I bought some when we dropped J off. Hopefully he perks up and can go to school. I just cant tell when he's faking.

I would check your grocery store. Vans frozen waffles are delicious. You can top them with berries and whipped cream.Both Aldi and Trader Joe’s have good gluten-free bagels.
If you want to make a casserole everybody can enjoy you can buy hashbrowns or shredded potatoes (check the ingredients because sometimes they do add flour) and layer that with eggs, bacon and cheese or eggs and ham and cheese.

Gluten free muffin mixes or pancake/waffle mix is an easy options. Or I've had quiche made with grated potatoes as the base which was amazing, but that may be more appealing for the adults.. I haven't made it but I think you just use a frozen grated potatoes.

Hi! Feeling all overwhelmed today, kind of slammed at work, didn't sleep much, 3 years since my mom's fall, PTA meeting tonight about school changes, j is still borderline sick, mh wants to refinance again, and super Tuesday has me amped up, even though we don't vote for another 7 weeks. On that note, make sure you vote today!

[vino]

Glad your finger is better tgrimes.

Sorry you're feeling sick mwhip, it's like the never ending cold. Hopefully you feel 100% soon.

Wow, I cannot believe that it's been 3 year already tallb, I'm glad that she is doing ok but what a life change for sure. That's a lot, hopefully it settles down soon.

[vino]

Morning.

I feel like I'm juggling ten thousand things right now; organizing quotes and meeting people at the house for this reno, taking care of B's knee that he split open a week ago, Pete seems super unsettled lately which includes vomit daily and had diarrhea yesterday so I've got to run and get a certain food that has helped in the past cause I finished the last can last night, various appointments cause my feet are killing me and I need someone to figure out whats going on and then of course a part of my vacuum cleaner broke so i need to pick up a part to have it fixed, I CANNOT not have my vacuum cleaner...  Oh ya and this whole work thing that demands me as well.


Blah.  It'll all be fine, but I need to cross a couple things off my list to feel more on top of this chaos.

So many things happening for so many people.

vino Hope you can get on top of that list soon. Poor Pete. Hope he is better soon.

I also have a to do list a mile long. Tomorrow is supposed be an off day, but my first job texted asking if can come in. She will let me know for sure later, so I may go in. I have someone coming to give me a quote on the kitchen and paint, so I’ll just leave early, but that means I need to get the house picked up and cleaned tonight. We’re slow so I may leave work early today so I can to start.

I made two calls yesterday to get some other quotes, but no luck. I need to call back.

I woke up with stomach troubles. I’m feeling a bit better, but not having caffeine gave me a headache. I just grabbed a ginger ale, so hoping the helps.

I also forgot I don’t live in AL anymore and thought I had to vote today. Nope, it’s next Tuesday.

I hate it when things get piled on like this, add on that you're dealing with all of this while solo parenting, so you're super woman in my opinion.

tallb M was very excited that I parked and walked her into school this morning. I told her not to get used to it and I was only doing it to vote. A couple parents had their kids in the booth with them and let them use the toggle thing for them. I should have done that.

[tgrimes]

It's possible I'm car shopping soon. MH & I are not on the same page when it comes to price and it's driving me crazy. He wants all of these things on a car and I'm like, yeah that'd be nice but I can only afford half of those things so...come join me in actual reality dude.

I’ve made quiche this way and enjoyed it a lot.

Recently did this casserole and was happy with it: damndelicious.net/2015/01/05/cheesy-breakfast-casserole/

Second this. Those days where there are 972 little things to take care of are just nuts.

The Austin peeps are closest. My bonus daughter goes to college there.

[inthekitty]

Sorry it's been crazy and chaotic tallb and vino. I hope it settles down soon.

tgrimes glad your finger isn't gushing copious amounts of blood anymore.

chrisy01 I'm sorry it's been stressful at work lately.

[wedding]

I’m sorry you guys are overwhelmed tallb and vino.

vino can you take a day off work to try and get a couple of things done?

tallb I would say the same but I think your daycare is near your work, not home. But maybe your H can give you space this weekend. And I’m sure with your moms fall anniversary you just feel unsettled.

I hope this passes for both of you soon.

[inthekitty]

Hi ladies. The positive side of coronavirus is MH is actually cleaning the house. I reminded him when he came home with 2 more bottles of Lysol yesterday that it doesn't do any good if he doesn't use it.

I completely overhauled Cass' room yesterday. I was dreading it. I did Maddie's about a month ago and Cass' wasn't nearly as bad because she actually makes efforts to organize it, but it was overdue. I also went through Maddie's clothes again and organized her dresser. I know it won't last but for now I'm enjoying how neat and clean it looks.

[nam2013]

tallb & vino I’m so sorry things are overwhelming at the moment. We’re here anytime. Big hugs.

My children are notoriously difficult when they don’t feel good. So the dramatics over the Gatorade would make me think it’s real.

I had two job interviews today with people who could possibly replace my coworker during her maternity leave. Let’s just they were no good... so back to the drawing table it is. Don’t know how. Elsewise it is just a sucky day. It is what it is. Looking forward to the couch and crappy tv.
