We're having the laziest morning ever here and I'm LOVING it! We drove to PA early Saturday, had my brother's wedding then drove back to MI yesterday but stopped to have lunch with my sister in Ohio...long day so we're beat. DH went to the gym and is working from home today. DDs are watching Mickey and playing on the living room floor. DS is at my parents' house all week (eep!) and I have nothing planned for today. High five YOU WERE RIGHT BY ME!!!! You probably got off the turnpike 3 miles from my house.

Pizzaslut, easternshoregirl taketheshot All my sorries for the crappy sleep. I hope your LO's can figure it out. Pizzaslut,Have you tried giving J something of yours to snuggle in his bed? Like a t-shirt or something? Maybe that might help if he wakes in the middle of the night, once you get to him sleep? So sorry this is still happening for you guys. No sleep is a legit form of torture. Hugs and coffee lady.

RunsforWineandCarbs , I would do tumble with C and ballet with A and go from there. Like joi922 and use it as one on one time if you have the supports to divide and conquer. If not, then put her in all the things, if you have the time. Try it for a month.

M was totally off this morning. I am pretty sure molars are the cause, but he was so sad and clingy this morning. FX he is okay at daycare. He was pretty upset when I dropped him off. I give him Camilla drops to help with teething (swear by them, usually within 10 minutes he is better), but daycare won't give them to him without a doctors note. Sigh. Hopefully has an okay day there.

Carrying over: I made my first Instant Pot dish this morning! I did steel cut oats and didn't blow the house up. I think I'll do the fauxtisserie chicken tonight and plan on trying ratatouille (sp?) later in the week. The fauxtisserie chicken was so so good! Definitely make sure you oil the whole chicken up good before you brown it! I forgot to do the bottom side and the skin stuck a little, but it was still delicious. So glad you posted this. Will be making this tonight! I made mac and cheese last night! Less than 10 minutes and was really good (except I thought I would spice it up a bit and use spicey montrey jack, and it was a bit too spicey, still yummy!)

shellyr I hope C feels better soon. If it were me, I would monitor for the day if it is starting to go down with medication and no other symptoms. But if symptoms change then take her in. M had a fever last week (low grade 100, so we did not need medication and was gone the next day....I am pretty sure teeth are the cause).

I have ZERO motivation for work right now. I have been working on updating some document for like two weeks, and by 'working on' I mean I open the documents, look at them, make a change and then find something else to do. I just need to get them done, but don't wanna.

Betweenthelines, the recipe ended up more like your creamy one when I made it. I think the recipe I used said you could put it under the broiler if you wanted with extra cheese and bread crumbs, but I didn't do that. You cook the pasta with the butter and water and spices, then when it's done you pour in the condensed milk and cheeses (can use any combination you want, I used sharp cheddar and spicey montery jack, and Parmesan), stir it and done. Very rich and creamy

Now I am remembering the mac and cheese my friend made recently that had sweet thai sauce in it. It was so freaking good. Must get recipe.

Hi! It's only 77 here right now after a big storm last night. But the humidity is 86% so it's basically like swimming to go outside.
I had food poisoning over the weekend... so I ended up with a 70 on my pharm exam. She would only grant an extension with a doctor's note. So I just took it but could barely concentrate. Feeling better today though so I'm going to get started studying for our next exam early!

Post by amberlie on Jul 24, 2017 10:24:51 GMT -6
RunsforWineandCarbs OMG YES FINALLY! I called the corporate office Friday morning and then the maintenance manager called me about 10 mins later. She said it was "impossible" that I had been leaving her messages and her not returning my calls. Then made the excuse that other people have bigger issues (air conditioning). Totally true - A/C is vital here in summer. But for them to take priority over my request - leaving me with an unusable kitchen for a month - uh, no. Anyway, maintenance manager sent out a guy. I explained to him that it's most likely an installation thing. After 6 hours - GUESS WHAT! It wasn't installed correctly. So he had to vacuum the water out again, fixed the installation and tightened the pipes under the sink. Thus far, it appears to be working now!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

DH brought in a broken lawn chair from the balcony to throw it away last night. Well, he didn't throw it away and now it has become a jungle gym. At least we have carpet so she won't definitely break her head.

we had really bad storms last night, and somehow my children slept through them. My parents are at my house due to no power at theirs, and I'm trying to decide if I like it or not. They brought their dogs, and my remaining cat is displeased, he's also missing his brother, so I don't know if this will help.
Work is crazy today, but I *think* I'm making a dent in it now.

I just looked at myself in the mirror, and I think this skirt has got to go. It's a pencil skirt, but it's baggy only on my hips. Not the best look.
