I've Been amuzed by these little turkey videos as you can see.
I was BEAT by 9:30 p.m. last night.
Tracie came around 2 and headed back over to her car to clean it out so I could have a seat and made room in the back for our purchases.
Two thirty we were on our way.... traveling every back road in creation.
Took at least three times as long to get from point A to point B . Actually I should pay better attention to where we are driving as highways are not my cup of Tea either, but I still do them.
It had begun to sprinkle and it never developed into more than that. Sprinkled and stopped all afternoon :0)
First off to Burlington Coat Factory in Nashua,NH. Spent more than an hour in there. Maybe even two.
Time flies when you are having fun. I shit you not!
So much area to cover. Some sections I did not venture into.
Found some FAT pants that I'm hoping will fit me. Wish they had them in another color other than black.
A tan, beige or a pastel to wear in Florida would have been nice.
In one breath I'm thinking maybe I will try to loose weight and in the next ...........oh Hell, you know your willpower left you some years ago.
Thinking maybe these will be too tight and will either have to return them or DO SOMETHING about this weight on moi to fit into them.
In typing this it triggered part of one of my dreams last night.
Someone ( a male ) lost a shitload of weight and handed me his magic pills.
The directions were missing on how to take them, but he said he took them every day whereas they were supposed to be taken 5 days, stop for 2 days and repeat.
Looks like my subconcious is trying to tell me someting.
Loose some efffin weight and maybe you won't feel like your ass is dragging!!!! sigh!
Found a few Christmas gifts. :0)
From there it was over to Home Depot that was in the same parking lot.
Looked at closet shelving and tried to find the pieces hubby was needing.
No luck, but did see a reasonable set up to use instead of his idea.
He says I'll have to take him to a Home Depot so he can see it.
At least he was agreeable to try something else........oh,yeah, what am I thinking???
That was last night and today is today. He is subject to change or say he never said that. :0(
The Christmas Tree Shop was in that same strip mall area as well as Khol's... Knew I would buy if I entered, so stayed OUT.
We stopped for gas and then headed towards MA and ate at a seafood place. Nothing fancy...but the food is good and I have driven the HIGHWAY and taken hubby there a few times for his haddock dinner.
I was famished! Ate everything on my paper plate including some of Tracie's french fries. It's no small wonder that I'm overweight. I shit you not!
Eventually we wound our way towards Walmart. There were two we were close to in NH that has NO SALES TAX, but I had a gift that was in at GameStop in MA next door to Walmart soooooooooo...one less parking spot and stop by shopping in MA and doing our duty( cough,cough ) by paying taxes on our purchases.
Oh...almost forgot. Next door to where we ate is a Dollar Tree and I got my cat litter there for $1 a bag compared to $2.19 in our local grocery store. Cat litter is cat litter is cat litter for the amount of shitting these 3 ferrets do. :0(
While in there, I spied a turkey pan and for $1, I knew I'd use it for something.
Walking past aisles in Walmart, I spied that exact same pan with a $3 sign. Go figure!!!!
Gotta watch them!!!! Speaking of which.....even in B.Coat factory every label said; made somewhere else but in the USA. Lots of made in CHINA.
Do we have to go to China to see a made in the USA label.???? Yeah, I'm joking.!
Our policies on trade are FOR SHIT! I shit you not!
So some 7 1/2 hours later we are home and all 3 vehicles are in the driveway. Mine, Jill, Butchies.
Tracie helped me lug my purchases in. :0)
House was dark and everyone was in bed. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm This is so strange!
Money must be tight. She made him breakfast and lunch. ohhhhhh less I forget.............
He glued the broken picket fence pieces back on my vinyl fence yesterday. .
Maybe she told him I was pissed that he does nothing for his SUPPER around here. Maybe!!!
Heard from hubby that she cooked potatoes and the like and picked up Kentucky Fried chicken for their supper. Hubby was fed....yesssssssssssssssssssssss! He wasn't in an ugky mood!!!
Any time I am out by myself I worry that he will be in a bad mood when I get back.
Over the years I can't count the times I heard, " Where the Hell have you been?'
"What took you so long?" " You said you were just going to one store."
I've learned that just being away from the house for however long it is...is worth the yelling. I shiit you not!
Strong wind gusts today. Hope my leaves blow over to the neighbors .
You didn't read that...did you? :0)
Here it is 9:30 a.m. Jill was holed up in her room and Butch was on the livingroom computer last I saw.
Took our empty coffee and tea cups to the sink.. Her door is shut and he is still sitting in front of the computer.
She did the grocery shopping yesterday while I was off galavanting with Tracie.
Now to try to make things presentable for tomorrow.........I'm no miracle worker. I shit you not!
Run the vac and clear counters today.
Clean the ferrets cage and spray it good in the morning.
Have I told you how cute they are??? Oh, I did!!!!
Their shit stinks just as does ours..........don't let anyone tell you different.
I need to find a gift for Tracie. Know she has been picking stuff up for me.
We exchanged gifts last year too. I love the blue bird wall hanger she gave me.
Thinking a Gift Card to Good Tymes would be nice.
That or maybe something will jump out at me at the Craft Fair she is taking me to this Saturday.
Somehow...I think she buys plenty of that stuff for herself and has no place to put any of it.
Come to think of it...neither do I.. sigh!
Logan came through the door at 11 upset like I have never seen him. Tossed what he held in both hands and headed to his bedroom crying and saying, " I've had the worst day of my life."
Continued to cry and I was trying to make an appointemnet for hubby to see the chiropractor today at that moment.
Went to him and he is sobbing. Jill called the house phone and asked what the Hell was going on with him. He had called her and she couldn't understand a word he said.
Finally got out of him that he had lost one of his shoes.
She had told him before he left to act respsonsible and make sure he didn't loose his shoes.
Today was :Wear a Snuggie and slipper day and they changed into them in school.
He was told to put his shoes in the bag with his Snuggie and not in his locker.
He did as told and still one of his shoes fell out of his bag that held his Huggie.
The sneakers were fairly new. Bought him Hawkes and the a cheap pair of sneakers to bang around in and it's one of the cheap sneakers he lost.
Told him he did as he was told and still lost it and it wasn't the end of the world. as he's still sobbing that he was trying to be responsible.
He had to walk up the street from the bus stop in the crochet slippers I made him a few years ago. ouchie.
Every family member loved those warm slippers made with a double strand of yarn an up over the ankle.
Nice and warm walking on floors or just being idle. Street wear...not so good, I bet.
Jill had run an errand and should be home within 25 mintes.
I checked back on Logan to see if he was still upset. He's sound asleep.
Now his friends are calling to come over and I'm answering the phone I'm keeping beside me to tell them he's sleeping. :0)
When he came in he had tossed his stuff on the couch and his project rolled off onto the floor.
I picked it up and looked at it.
Must be all of 3 or 4 staples that his dad put in it.
Wait til you see this thing. He did his best on it. Nana had BIG ideas for this project to guide him.
ta daaaaaaaa!!!!
The 6th graders in these United States should be damned happy that I am not a sixth grade Science teacher.
100 AWESOME!
Wonder what grade he would have got if I had had more of a hand in this than the 3 hours.
orrrrrrrrrrrr do I ???? We used his Hawkes sneaker box for the project. Sneakers brought good and bad into his life today. ohhhhhh The life and problems of an eleven year old!
He didn't put the effort into that lemur that I was intending on doing with him, BUT IT"S HIS PROJECT as he so often told tell me that day I worked with him on it. sigh! :0)
Just answered the door to another of his friends. Told him that Logan was sick and sleeping.
Good job nana!
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm feeling pretty good about now and hopefully he will feel better about his day when he wakes up.
This was so unlike him. I couldn't imagine what happened.
First thought was a squabble with a good friend.
So all is well. Jill is back and she went in and woke him to tell him everything was alright and get some sleep.
Butch showed back up at the same time.
I was right. He's broke!
sooooooooooooooooooo what's new! I shit you not!
Things to do....oh you bet I do.
Jill is mentally planning where to put some things.
That's more than I have done today. sigh!
That's All Folks!
Poor Logan, hope he feels better about it today.
ReplyDeleteAnd i hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow , although i know it will be a lot of work too.
Have you looked into a laptop yet?
I'm having a heck of a time finding 'fat' pants. The biggie here in the city is those stretchy pants which cling to the old body. Sorry, not for me. Poor Logan. Hoping he feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Mary
I have an eleven year old living with me too. It amazes me how upset they can get.
ReplyDeleteSo, if you have already started your shopping are you going out on black Friday?
I want to see pictures of the ferrets...what do you spray the cage with and whose idea was it to have pet ferrets...as in, was it YOURS? Cause I can't see nana going to the store to pick up a pet and choosing ferrets.
As a woman without kids or grandkids [sigh] I think it's good for a child to work on their own projects. I mean it is school and they are supposed to be learning something by doing the work themselves. I can see how this would drive me nuts if I saw how much better it could be with just a "little help from grandmother"!
ReplyDeleteLogan is getting towards "that" age, I noticed Josh had some surprisingly serious meltdowns around 11.
ReplyDeleteI think he did a great job on his project!
