donutsweeper | (no subject)

One reason why I go groceries in a 24 hour store. Much less hassle!

It's usually not that bad. Usually. But this time? *ugh* Thank god there's only a few weeks till camp starts

Or wrote a play for expressive arts class.

Long story.

I know what you mean though! Shopping should be done by one person only, or the time it takes is measured in aisles per week.

oh god- writing a play as a group effort? *facepalm* that would take forever!

I swear my kids were trying to convince me to kill them. Or ship them to Outer Mongolia.

Yeah, and the end product wasn't half as good as the ones written by a single person (me, naturally :0p)

A few years ago, I was the annoying kid in supermarkets, so, um, I'll just sit quietly over here...

Somehow I doubt you were as bas as mine were today. I even threatened to put the donuts back and not buy them if they didn't behave ... so we left the supermarket without donuts! It was criminal!!!!

!

You're already in the God of Doughnuts' bad books!

*sobs* I know, I know!!!!!

I will eat a doughnut for the sake of your soul.

oh thank you! Thank you!!!

Repent, sister, repent! *Hands you Church of the Doughnut pamphlets*

(It occurs to me that a better punishment would be buying the doughnuts, then eating them all in front of your kids. Or is that too mean?)

oooh, I *like* the way you think. I'm keeping that in mind for next time!!! (and I'd get several donuts that way!!!)

There's no down side!

you are very smart. *tips hat*

Sadly not smart enough to answer this homework question. Know anything about circular momentum?

*yipes* not a thing, sorry.

Me neither. Woe.

Love that icon by the way! Is mythbusters a tv show?

Yep (http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/mythbusters.html). The idea behind it is a group of people try to prove or disprove myths- like does putting metal in the microwave cause an explosion or if you can destroy a car engine by putting sugar in the gas tank.

Oh, when I was eleven my class collaborated on a play for the Christmas pageant (which is really showing my age since schools don't have "Christmas" pageants anymore). We did the story of the writing of "Silent Night", and I was the narrator, which meant I had huge chunks of text and was on stage the entire time, but I was also allowed to sit down (fabulous for stage fright) and have notes. I actually have fairly positive memories of it, but then again, that was back when I was eleven. :P

aaaaaaaiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

ahhh, someone who understands! :)

lol

Trust me doing it with teens is not much better - they suddenly get nostalgic for pick'n'mix or sugar coated cereals or, or NUTELLA *looks at daughter*

I can imagine. I bet its a ton more expensive too. Teen boys in particular probably never stop eating

Never seen Mythbusters? You do surprise me - though their basic premises are sometimes a little askew. Remember the Millenium Bridge fiasco? The Tate Gallery link-y one - that swayed in time to people walking across it?? The myth busters had already proved that wasn't possible *G*
They do have a lot of fun with ballistic(s) gel and bullets though :D

Tons more expensive *nods* and she is much more expensive than them because if she knows she is coming she'll volunteer to cook and then want me to but ingredients. Granted she *can* cook and the food's always good but then I end up with odd spices in the house I have no idea what to do with *G*

having someone else cook *swoons* sounds lovely

So now's not the time to tell you all my kids (and hubby) can and do take their turn in the kitchen if and when they have to? Even if it is just putting in shop bought pizza and ripping up salad...

I shouldn't complain, hubby does dinners tues and thurs, even if I do tend to do most of the prep for it

YAY for hubby then - now if only we could get our menfolk to do the preparation as well...

I'll come home from work though to the mess he leaves in the kitchen, I wish I could teach him to do a little clean up too, but hey, the kids will have gotten fed, so I shouldn't complain

Sometimes you just have to bite your tongue and deal with it don't you?
I've come home when my older ones were young to them being up waaay past bedtime but yep - clean and fed and 'happy' and on balance I'd definitely rather he'd forgotten to put them to bed than feed them...

getting them to bed can try one's patience, can't it?

I'm fairly good about just cleaning the kitchen and not complaining when I get home from work. If he wasn't willing to do so much I wouldn't be able to work so I try to remember that.

I actually saw an episode last night! Well, it was on while I was doing something else. But now I know it's on. And ballistics gel sounds fun!

It is! Mythbusters is a great thing to have on in the background

LMAO...my mother STILL refuses to take me and my siblings to the grocery store together, and we're all adults (supposedly).

your mother is a wise woman

Yes, very.
