Tomorrow I am supposed to be "working from home". Instead I am taking DS1 to school and DS2 to the babysitter and I am going to eat junk food and watch tv all day by myself. I don't know when the last time it was that I was actually alone!
I need a drink too, btw. I've needed one since about 8:30 this morning.
I want to lose weight and get fit but I just love food, alcohol, and being lazy so much that it's difficult.
Why can't you lose weight by reading?

The parent I saw using the leash used it for more than keeping the child from running. When the child bent over to pick something up they pulled up so that the child was hanging from it. The thing the child was trying to pick up was a ball ... not something dangerous.

I am in love with the idea of canning/preserving food, but all of the instructions I am finding are for marinara sauce, salsa, or jelly. I'm beginning to be disappointed that my canning efforts will result in some sauce that we'll never use.
Except pickles. Making my own pickles will totally be worthwhile.
And WTH is chutney? Am I totally missing something awesome because I don't know what chutney is? Please tell me chutney isn't just sauce to put on meat.

I am craving an Oreo Milkshake right now.
My daughter's teacher just sent me an email saying she's being a drama queen and disrupting the class (she's been super sick and is now afraid to eat.) This is her first day back to school all week and it was a bit difficult this morning. On one hand, yall who see my FB page--we all know she's a drama queen and the teacher's comment doesn't surprise me--however, I want to punch her in the face right now just for saying it--and she's not even wrong.

I love how Schmidt pronounces it chuteney. This was all I could think of once chutney was mentioned.
I agree. I thought they were awful until you go into a crowded (fill in the blank) and your kid runs off to see something somewhere and you have to weave through the heard of cattle to get to them. Audrey had a monkey leash...
