I bought a bunch of plastic food containers at the dollar store and have decided they're one thing that's NOT worth it... at least with teenage boys in the house! They're cracking to pieces and the lids don't stay on tight. Ugh. I mean, yes - it's a first world problem, right? But I"m culling the junk!Herding Grasshoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-1318388272012498482016-01-08T04:19:07.725-08:002016-01-08T04:19:07.725-08:00I had to laugh!

I wish I was dealing with house stuff! I was packing up our Christmas decor and a few of the items are pieces you have made us (tree runner & cardinal wall hanging) and it was too hard to pack them so I didn't! I am calling them "winter decor"!

Good luck with the mortgage.<br /><br />Sara, the crazy thing about the list is that most of the things just take a minute or two (well, <i>most</i> things...) but what drudgery! And thanks for asking about Chickie - she is obviously uncomfortable (i.e. in pain) but is upbeat and cheerful. And her recovery is going so much better than last time - which was a THIRD surgery on her other hip - so that must be encouraging.Herding Grasshoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-8257543950642607622016-01-07T14:00:35.130-08:002016-01-07T14:00:35.130-08:00I "get" zero-crazy in 60 seconds or less...I "get" zero-crazy in 60 seconds or less. Three kids under six over here, but only one boy, how can that be? Going through mortgage paperwork, I think I have gained 5 pounds eating nervously and working at it on the computer. Kids watching hours of shows just to get through this. Its fine time to not have a working printer!!Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-92108408597120521142016-01-07T12:13:32.311-08:002016-01-07T12:13:32.311-08:00Wook at widdow Gunnar!

Especially the "official" things like phone calls, and renewals, and investments. Ugh. <br /><br />How's Chickie feeling?Sara McDhttps://breakingground.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
