Good Sunday morning Quackers.
@Snowysmom very sorry to hear that things with Kenny did not go so well at his meeting. Such a frustrating time.
@lynxstch I get having too many choices and wanting to stick to what you already have picked out.
@Pea-n-Me Glad to hear Toto is doing better and that you are on the mend.
@tazdev3225 Such sad news for your friend and her family.
@AuntieMe3 Glad to hear Miss Dolly is doing better. Just a thought, have you ever considered an invisible fence? We have had them for our dogs for years and they are wonderful. Also hope your husband continues to get used to his machine and gets better rest.
I too am curious about pickle roast.
Looking at the forecast it seems they have taken the "deep freeze" out of picture for next week. Today and tomorrow are going to be very cold but then it looks like back up to high 20s to mid 30s for the rest of the week, which, for February is pretty normal, dare I say even "nice". I know it can change on a dime though.
I don't have much to report. I think I am taking 3 of the kids along with my niece and maybe sister-in-law to a town about 40 minutes away to either ice-skate or go to a Children's Museum then eat a late lunch/early supper. We will prob be home in time for the Chief vs. Bengals game.
@footballmouse, my boys are Chiefs fans, but they don't even seem to be holding out much hope for the game. We shall see. I'm not too vested either way. I would like to see the 49ers win today, only because we have a very small "6 degrees of separation" thing with one of their players.
FH continues to stress me out and I continue to have no backbone. I know I need to put my foot down, but I am so very worried about what the courts will say. I have said it a thousand times and I will say it a thousand more, there definitely needs to be more guidance when they put the word "flexible" in a temporary order. It can be taken so many different ways and who knows what any particular judge on the day of court will see it. I sadly know that even once this is legally settled, he will most likely continue to be a pain in my rear. I just pray that once there is a more solid legal ruling some things will settle and he will back off a bit.
I do want to specify that when I say my son is doing well in school, I mean he's handing in his work/making an effort and not causing issues...that is all I am asking from him at this point...passing grades and good behavior. School has never been his "thing" and this mess has only made it worse. His teachers that I have talked to have said he has been good about not acting out and trying to focus on work, so that makes me glad. He's been a real tough case at home, but I think some of that comes from "keeping it together" at school and when he gets home he is "done".
@footballmouse , I am sorry your middle son had such a hard adjustment when you went through your divorce. I hope that has he's gotten older things have gotten better for him. It scares me a lot to think of how much this is going to actually have bearing on their lives as adults. I know kids are resilient, yet I know this will cause issues for years and years to come, esp. when it comes to their future relationships and what they look for in a partner and how they treat one in return. I am really scared my boys will treat their girlfriends like their dad treated/treats me. I know he is much better with TT and how he treats her in front of them( or I assuming he is, but I guess I don't really know), so maybe they will see that and also see that how he treated me was so very wrong. I am afraid my youngest daughter will be a pushover to guys because she just wants to make everyone happy. My oldest, I worry about her too, but she already has a pretty good head on her shoulders and can see from FHs and I relationship what is good and what isn't. Plus she can see (and hopefully the others do too, I just don't know if they are old enough see it now) healthy relationships in my parents, and their aunts and uncles marriages along with one of her very good friends parents.
Ok, enough rambling for now. Everyone take care, stay warm, and remember to be kind to yourselves. I think we all forget to give ourselves grace.
Lynn and prayers for you to get in some good R&R at last! I'm sorry your shopping trip was so long! It sounds like a lot got done which is great.
PollyannaMom extra for warmth and a safe 
You sure have had a lot going on! Have a much more relaxing rest of the afternoon, my friend please!
Tired of winter already. I also sat out on my porch for a few minutes with the dogs but it was in the shade so that didn’t last long. 
We cleaned and vacuumed this afternoon, and still doing some laundry. Thank you for your good thoughts for me! I am doing some light exercises I remember from PT to keep things fluid.

PollyannaMom! Enjoy being cozy and watching 
today.
to prices! Dad and I are on a fixed budget which sure does make current prices more of a challenge. We are beyond blessed to be able to get what we do need. $6 for eggs the other day was just crazy! I truly pray you are also able to get needed food and other supplies as are all of you dear Quackers. Have a good time with your grandkids.
Take care!
I'm soon going to watch online worship. I will check back in later. Love to all.
to der LJ. Have a wonderful time at his party! May being there soothe your soul and bring extra joy to your spirit, my friend.
) he was all wiggly every time she came in the room. He’s such a good little guy.
Document everything! Keep folders with texts and notes to yourself. Sending prayers for you and your family.
