Uh, I have nobody to deliver up here :rotfl:

You win! or do you lose? :confused3 Geez, I could never be that far out in the sticks. My parents are out in a dead zone too. Drove me nuts growing up. I have to be near some sort of civilization. If I can't get to a Walmart within 15 minutes then I am too far out! And as scatter brained as I am I have to have a grocery store within about 5.
 
You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby round round round round.................
:confused:

Pizza!!! What a great idea!!! I'm stuffed from ice cream, but my kids will be starving in a few minutes.

Hmm, how does one get stuffed from ice cream.....less of course they have been smoking something fun and had lots of it! :hippie:
 

Back from dinner. Made yummy pancakes. Of course, with the last little bits of batter I made a mickey head pancake. It made me feel better! :laughing:
 
I wish! We only have Domino's and Papa John's for pizza delivery. No other choices.

Ewwww. Of course my kids would be happy.

So I called and ordered the pizza, and the total was 22.71. Then he asked how I was paying and I said with a check. And I know the check charge is 30 cents. So he goes........"Okay your total is going to be............your total is............there's a 30 cent check charge, so add 30 cents to your total and that's your total." :rotfl: So I said, "Now how much is that?" :lmao: He said "It's 22. 71 plus 30 cents." And I said........"So that's........" He said "Just add 30 cents to it and have your check and ID ready when he gets there." Click. :lmao:

Poor guy, couldn't add that 30 cents in. Pitiful. I'd have held him back in second grade. ;)

I would have called right back and asked again :rotfl2:

Still at work here. At least it finally has slowed down. I just got off lunch and now I get to sit around until 10:30. Of course I've been here since 6am, so it's some great OT. That and I'm back in at 6am tomorrow, so I get turnaround pay :thumbsup2
I know who is buying a round of drinks in 5 weeks!

:rotfl: That is really sad! :sad2:
 
Tig, did you get the latte? :rotfl: and also the latest text i sent? I wanted to ake a picture with the latest one, but he turned before I could!
 
Latest update on my Mom. She is still in the nursing home. They have decided she has chronic pneumonia, but don't know why she isn't getting better. Thye drained almost 2 liters of fluid from her lungs the other day, this is in addition to the 100 cc's and 600 cc's previously drained. She's hoping maybe by the end of the week she can go home. The pulmonoligst is worried that she's not going to have the strength to be at home. She is having PT, but I'm not sure how often.
 
2 liters! Wow.


We had ice cream at Braum's. We were going to Marble Slab, but dh doesn't like that particular one and he had tagged along.
 
That's a lot of fluid, Caro! At least they're getting it out. I hope she comes home soon.
 
:wave: Evening!

Caro- I'm keeping your mom in my prayers!

Paige- they hired a new girl to cashier at school and she doesn't know how to count back change. I tried to teach her but she has no clue. It's $2.25, take 3 quarters (75 cents) makes $3.00, A dollar makes $4.00, another makes $5.00. A $5.00 makes $10.00 and a $10.00 makes $20.00. Nope, just doesn't get it. The kids stand there with their mouth open in shock, no joke.
She wants to use a calculator to figure the change. She was told no, learn to count back. Sad these days that kids don't even know basic math. :sad2:

Can you all believe that tomorrow is my sons 1 year wedding anniversary! Talk about time flying!!!!

Not to jump on my soap box but.........they are making us use a new math program, and phasing out our math textbook adoption. We do not teach the algorithm method for addition/subtraction in this program. That's when you line up the numbers and add and borrow and carry, etc. We aren't to teach them to memorize facts in this program either. They are to reason their way. And explore and "discover" how the numbers go together and come apart by questioning and we lead them through questioning. However, if a child never wants to move forward by "trading up" then they just don't.

And that, my friends, is the future of math.

At least until the pendulum swings again back to memorization when they find this doesn't work.

The powers can't seem to understand that the best way is a balance between discovery and thinking about it, and memorizing how it's done in the standard way, between learning facts and questioning.

Now I will shut up. I just close my door and continue to teach the way I always have, in balance and using what I know about children and what they like, how they think, and what they respond to. No one asks us. :confused3
 
How come pizza is the only food you can have delivered anymore? Even the Chinese places don't deliver. I don't feel like cooking or going out and DH is gone for the day. I don't want pizza. I really want to order in Chinese, but none of them deliver. :headache:

I have money people! Just bring me food!
Our Chinese places still deliver. Dominos and Papa Johns are my two least favorite pizza places.

We totally surprised Ben with the surprise party. He went to the basement to "play Halo with Ben" and about 16 or so kids jumped out and yelled "SURPRISE!!!". I think he was ready to start crying he was so happy. :) He's a good kid, though, and deserves it.

I guess at some point I should retrieve Jake from the basement, but he's having fun with the big kids. :rotfl:

Paige, that's awful that the pizza guy couldn't add 30 cents. :sad2: 4's, when Alyssa was working at Ledo's she was amazed at how one girl could not make change.

Wow, one year already 4's!

Caro, I hope your mom starts to improve and get stronger soon. :hug:

I know I'm forgetting things.
