ohgillian It’s not holiday related but black & whites are the best cookie and I can’t go to NYC without getting some.
I follow a few Jewish influencers on Instagram and one mentioned a kosher bakery she goes to for special occasions. I’ll go back through her posts and see what it was!
My sons soccer team is sponsored by the dive bar in town that no one will ever go into because you can smoke in there and there’s fights, etc. We think it’s hilarious. I posted my sons soccer pictures and said something like “representing X town’s finest establishment.” Well, forgot I was friends with the programming director of the community center and she just commented on my post “feel free to sponsor a team next year, we are always looking for sponsors” so now I feel like a complete asshole. I was just trying to be funny and not denigrate the program in any way. 😕 IDK if I should respond and apologize or if she’s taking this way too seriously.
She is a weirdo. I’d ignore it.
Exactly. What’s weird is that she would let a place like that sponsor a kids team.

Shana Tova!
One of the temples I'm trying out streamed their services so I participated in that. nancybotwin sent us some amazing PJ Library books and we are reading 1 a day .
Out if curiosity, are schools required to provide specific lunches to kids with certain medical diagnoses such as allergies or celiac disease for example? I haven’t worked in a school since about 2006 and even then allergies and other medical diagnoses didn’t seem as common as they are now so I don’t remember how accommodations were handled.
I don't know about things like gluten free options and such. Our district is free breakfast and lunch for all and there's the main food then alternatives. As alternatives they offer deli sandwiches made to order, parfaits, and sunbutter sandwiches. My son packs his lunch because it's easier for him to carb count for his T1D
Our district has free lunch for all and has GF lunches available but my kids consistently say they are terrible & they do not have something from each category (a protein/fruit/veggie/car ).

Idk if I’ve mentioned it but we decided to be responsible adults and not go to Colorado this fall because of all my health expenses we have had lately. I am so so sad about it It’s the right choice but feels really bad.

I cleared the kids bookshelves this morning and I’m waiting at the used bookstore for them to tell me how much they will give me for them. It’s 2 big IKEA bags but I bet I only get $30-$40.
Ds3 has been so so difficult lately and I have no idea how to handle it.
DS2 is 8 today!!! He wants sushi for his birthday dinner & “watermelon berries jello” instead of a cake You get all the flesh of a watermelon out, fill it with berries and too it off with jello.

DS2 decided on money instead of a birthday party 🙌 and I’m dying at his purchases. The nerf guns were expected but he asked to look on FB marketplace to get a deal he got 50 guns for only $75. Then he spent the rest at our local oddities store😂 He had so much fun looking for treasures and finally settled on a turtle shell, an alligator head, a shark tooth and a preserved mini octopus in a jar.
I get little precut/mushed avocado cups at Costco (not guacamole) & it’s so easy!
I need to do this because the half or third that I don’t use always gets gross by the next morning. I also need, like, half loaves of good bread for toast because one slice a day means it goes bad before I can use it all.
The Dave’s bread with all the seeds in it lasts a week and is good with avocado. The Trader Joe’s sourdough lasts a week if I keep it in the fridge.

I’m watching Moana with Ds3 (4yo). We just saw the scene where the grandmas ghost comes to her on the boat and he said “she has a grandma ghost like meee ?!”. We talk about my moms but he doesn’t remember them at all so I’m a little shaken up.
I know I am way behind on this, but on a whim I tried avocado on toast. And I totally see why it became a thing, it's delicious. I guess I thought it would be sort of bland or weird? I'm using store-bought avocado cups that just have a little salt, pepper and lemon juice, and I've even gone way bougie and sprinkle some chia seeds and sliced almonds on top. Very tasty and filling, as snacks go.
Try a fried/poached egg when you have extra time. Yum!
namasteak, what is his complaint about the bus? Is it the noise/chaos? I think an ipod would be great for that. My DD2 is ADHD and has a lot of sensory things. For her, earplugs do the trick when she can't stand the noise. That usually happens at things like pep rallies, dances with loud DJs, etc. Her time on school buses has been limited to 1-2x a year for a field trip, but regularly, she would probably need earplugs or music to tune her out.
I would say this... listening to music, she would be very likely to miss her stop. Will the bus driver remind your DC to get off?
Idk how I missed this . Sorry!
The driver or his brother would remind him He did that for about a week and then found a little friend to talk about Pokémon with !

Procedure took a little Longer than expected but I’m doing ok. Very uncomfortable but not terrible pain yet. I thought I would be STARVING after 40 hours without food but a bowl of soup is all I’ve eaten. Unfortunately there were several polyps so I have to go back in a year .
Colonscopy is done. The doctor said it was so inflamed, they couldn’t even look at the colon cancer part. Just all the other stuff. Oh and I need to get blood work and do it again in a year. ☹️
I’m sorry friend! Mine has been delayed 3 hours … hopefully I go in soon.
I have a colonoscopy and hemorrhoid removal on Monday and I am so not looking forward to the diet the next few days & the prep Sunday. I’m anxious about the recovery since the Dr couldn’t give me specifics since he doesn’t know which removal method he will use until he can see them.
-I hate drying my hair and I suck at it-I need something uncomplicated -I’d like it to have a decent high heat setting so that it dries faster -Under $100(?) -Easy to store under sink
I’m not too worried about how it will be on my hair-I only go into the office two days a week so I’d only be using it those days and then for any occasions that come up.
