I am so behind in the yard! I never finished cleaning out gardens last year and now they are growing again!
he is a master of the arts of procrastinationI'm waiting for DS to finish his math test so we can dye Easter eggs. So he can go spend the night at my mothers. You'd think the kid would be motivated to go and get done quick but I keep finding him doing anything BUT his math test. Which he should breeze through because he did it in 10 minutes on Monday....
Mnemonics helps. Like, if a person’s name begins with a T, think of an image or color that reminds you of that person, beginning w/ a T, etc.looking forward to this years xmas /thanksgiving family parties just found out one of my baby cousins is due for a baby of her own end of may plenty of time to try and remember her husbands name
Yes. Now if he could master the art of whatever you call the opposite that would be great because I am drained! And this is me when I really reach the end of my rope…he is a master of the arts of procrastination
I’m sorry that’s awful. Some people have no manners. I learned a lesson once when I mailed a “friend” a cute little thing I’d found out shopping that reminded me of them and they never even acknowledged it. That was probably 16 years ago and I’ve forgiven but I do remember it hurt.I gave a gift to someone, just a fun little sign for their gaming room. They made fun of it and said they wouldn't use it
i think its a lil boy thing atleast in my family with the lil boy cousins nephews to hear their mothers tell itYes. Now if he could master the art of whatever you call the opposite that would be great because I am drained! And this is me when I really reach the end of my rope…
I spose giving is kind of a leap of faith…sometimes I’d rather they tell me honestly as it allows me to know the other person better…I’d rather not be thanked for something they were pretending to like. Maybe when you give, give wholeheartedly & hope for the best, like shooting an arrow into the air! But no acknowledgement at all is a bit of a puzzle….Yes.

I’ve received a few really odd gifts over the years. Like “vintage” pillow cases hand embroidered with farm animals as a wedding gift. They were from a great-aunt I never met in person; so the thought really was what counted. I’ve tried to teach my kids to appreciate the gesture even if they aren’t excited about a gift. My DS can be a little too honest (blunt); but he’s learning. I think a simple thank you is the least we can do. There must be a fuzzy line between giving not expecting anything in return and regretting you had done it. I think with close friends it’s easier to be honest if you don’t care for a gift. You don’t have to feel like you are risking the friendship or misunderstanding each other.I spose giving is kind of a leap of faith…sometimes I’d rather they tell me honestly as it allows me to know the other person better…I’d rather not be thanked for something they were pretending to like.
