You're such a good Mom- at least today you can watch TV ,I remember I always wore dark sunglasses while my boy played football (touch)or T- ball( ,he was 5 and usually on the bench) so I could " get a little shut eye" and he'd say" did you see that Mommy"
Aww, Mooch! How long is this party? I feel like running out there with blankies & cocoa.
When I was still working, I carried a 'winter survival kit' at all times. It was two wool blankets, a heavy knit cap, parka, gloves, chemical heat packs for body, hands, and feet, and energy bars; all kept in one of those space bags. And yes, a couple of times it was needed when breakdowns occurred. The only thing it lacked was electronic entertainment. Now, the only time I have to wait in the vehicle in cold weather is while Michele is in one store or another meandering about, and I have books to occupy my time.
I have been veeeery tempted to nap! Theres a section of the church parking lot that is fenced with tall greenery behind it. I park there for shade when its hot. Put up the sun screen and no one might notice.
My cousin’s boys both play hockey and I spent enough time at my other cousins games to appreciate her sacrifice. 
)Only an hour and a half. If it was longer and the weather was better I could have gone shopping or to my moms. I don’t like invading their evenings. Although that didn’t stop me from calling my stepdad for car help a few weeks ago.
He turned out to be at the church too anyway. I didn’t want to be putting air in my tires alone after dark and DH was too far away.When we lived in snow country we definitely were prepared with emergency supplies! One gripe about the new cars is the lack of space to store that stuff. Even in the trunk it doesn’t quite have what older cars did for compartments. My mom had a whole shovel in our car at times. At least we have cell phones now so people can know where you are. And if we’re getting walloped here they shut everything down. Another advantage to homeschooling for sure; is no snow driving unless absolutely necessary! Which is good because generally I wont.
The new Subaru did excellent on the very wet and windy roads tonight though.

Ahh cookie dough isn't that like play doh? Sure you eat cookie dough once its baked, but why split hairs.I made Christmas cookies with the girls today. Idk why I put myself through that stress.
(In all fairness, it probably would have gone decently if I was just doing it with J. She's impatient, but at least she doesn't literally throw cookie dough on the floor unlike some people who won't be mentioned.
It's probably all the same to M-Ahh cookie dough isn't that like play doh? Sure you eat cookie dough once its baked, but why split hairs.
You do it because of the memories. And how fast this:I made Christmas cookies with the girls today. Idk why I put myself through that stress.

Yep. My thing with my daughter, that I should have put on a recorded loop was. 'Don't put that in your mouth 'It's probably all the same to M-
Because 50 years from now she will be like my son and want to make Christmas cookies with mom every year, just like they used to do.I made Christmas cookies with the girls today. Idk why I put myself through that stress.

That sounds like fun!
My daughter was also a terrible sleeper.So obviously if your not sleeping it is going to affect your mood and ability to get through the next day positively. My daughter's sleeping improved and hopefully yours will as well.
Every age does have its hurdles.

It's sad that certain companies can't be trust - and really telling when most of us know who those companies are and yet nothing is ever done - for the most part - to force them to be honest in their business practises.
Yep its amazing what is allow or not from state to state@
I started watching British TV show last year called "The Devils Hour" - it's different and it takes a bit to sort out what's up. The writers are good and someone has an understanding of certain theoretical sciences. I thought it was a mini series and ended on a note that made me sad. but now there is a second season. Maybe it will end better.
I like how British TV has normal looking people a lot. Not all fancy and perfect everything all the time. It certainly makes the stories feel more real.
