Will do bacon, hashbrowns, a frittata, biscuits and juice. If their mom gets here in time for supper will do gravy for her biscuits. The kids and my husband don't care for biscuits and gravy. (Go Figure).

What's for supper tonight? (had to ask)
Yesterday's sounded so good, wondering what is up for today. LOL.
Uh-oh on supper tonight....sm
Last week I made a beef pot roast with the trimmings. When I do this we always have enough for another meal.
Tonight for supper I was going to warm up the rest of the beef and put BBQ sauce on it. I started looking in the fridge and couldn't find the left over roast. So I called my hubby who didn't know where it was. Next I went to the 16 and 7-year-old and asked them where the meat was.
The 7-year-old said "mom - the dogs were looking real hungry the other night so I gave it to them!"
So much for supper tonight! She's never done anything like that before and now knows to never feed the dogs anything other than their usual dog food without permission. I hope the 3 dogs loved their special treat!!!
I would love for my youngest to see it

Planning on using mine for chicken tonight - We love it!
We use it a couple times a week!
grandchildren
My husband grew up grandparents in same town. Mine were in other states. My mother and in-law did not have the grandma gene. My only grandchild is two days away and I hate it. She is only 18 MO and does not know us. Plan to move closer when hubby retires in six years.
what about grandchildren?....great grandkids?..nm
Step-grandchildren advice anyone?
My son and DIL have dated since my step-granddaughter was 6 months old. They would be together, break up, get back together....you get the picture. Whenever they would break up, DIL would come and get any pictures I had of my step-granddaughter because "I would just throw them away." I have completely stayed out of the situation between my son and DIL because I knew they would be back together in a couple of weeks. At first, I was VERY attached to my now step-granddaughter. I have evidently built up a wall now and I am having a very hard time being a "real" grandma to her. I feel so guilty about this but just can't seem to become attached to her. I guess I've built up some walls in fear that she will be taken away again like she had been so many times before. I know it isn't her fault. By the way, she is 8 now and they have been married for 4 years. Anyhow, they are trying to have a baby and I am so excited...but feel horribly guilty because of it. I just know in my heart that this baby will always be my grandchild. By the way, DIL's parents are divorced and they all spoil my granddaughter like it is a competition. She has every toy imaginable. I guess my question is, how do I get over it and really be a grandma to her?
I have thrown in the towel with kids, grandchildren
Know this sounds harsh but I just got tired of trying. I am the kid's paternal grandmother and never came close to the love and affection they showered on their maternal one even though I tried and tried. They were taken as small infants mostly to her home and I came in a far second even though we lived close by one another. They are now 16 and 18 and I rarely see or talk with them and I have a wonderful life and it really doesn't bother me anymore like it once did. Such are the facts of life. My son (their father) apparently was engulfed by the other side and did not stand up for me. That is life. I just wish them well.
My grandchildren bypassed me in earlier years
to go to their maternal grandmother, their aunts, their cousins, etc. I just finally gave up and did not seek out their visiting me anymore. Their mother did not want to share (my son should have done his share to see both grandparents to have time)- bottom line on this, they live about 15 minutes away- girl went off to college and wrote me saying surprised I did not come around nor call and I seemed to be ok with that. I did not go into why I was not in the picture, told her I was very happy and accept things as they were. She said saw her aunt more than me and told her that was the way it had been since she was born, not my choice but I just came to accept it. I do not worry about it anymore.
What's for supper??

Sounds great - wish I would have been there.
supper
Just regularly made in a baking dish with sauce not mixed in, but on top, shredded mozerella on top of that. Bake until cheese is melted.

We're going for $20 pizza night. We get a large 2-topping pizza, appetizer, and 4 drinks for 20 bucks!
For supper
Pork chops with rice and cornbread stuffing.
Feed DD supper before DH comes home so you can

How about some ideas for a warm supper?
No snow yet, but howling winds and cold with a little bit of drizzle. Need some ideas to warm my little guys up when they get home from school. Not big fans of soup, though. Any other ideas?
warm supper ideas
How about some chicken and dumplings (easy) or homemade chicken pot pie?
Supper here north of Kansas City, MO
Stuffed green peppers (spanish rice/burger mixture topped with shredded cheese) and a romaine lettuce salad. Apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Beans for supper...sounds like an experiment in our house. nm

Youngest DD graduates HS 5/21 :))
//
My youngest daughter...sm
won't have anything to do with me - no letter, just hung up on me the last time I tried to call her. I sent her an e-card for her birthday, which I know she picked up, but no response at all from her.
My youngest will be a freshman in
highschool in NJ, starting September 5th. Second year of college for my oldest, community college in NJ, September 4th. He went away to college last year and he would have been starting back today if he went back there.
He should take some lessons from my BF. His youngest
brother was getting married, only invited his parents and 1 sibling (there are 5). He later decided to invite all the other siblings, my BF said no, if I wasn't wanted in teh beginning I'm not going now. Even with his mother getting on his case, he didn't go, even though it was only an hour drive. Your DH needs to develop a backbone. You shouldn't have to be the one to say no. I do agree, it is better to give notice than to wait to last minute. Tell him to pick up the phone and call her.
Youngest has activities
My youngest is going to summer camp at her school for two weeks (it's pretty expensive and that was all we could afford) and then the rest of the time she'll be outside playing with friends and swimming in our pool. My oldest is going to be swimming, having friends over and watching her sister for me while I work. We also have a vacation planned and her friend is visiting for a week from Florida. The summer usually flies by no matter what the kids are doing. It doesn't always have to be so structured.
Today our youngest finally got her first car
Today our youngest finally got her first car. DH and I bought it for her a few months ago and have been slowly fixing it up in anticipation of her getting her license. So today we finally gave it to her. Hubby went and got it insured and titled before he left for the week. He stopped in at the bank to tell me he'd gotten it all taken care of, and mentioned he was going to take the extra set of keys with him so they'd be safe. I said "No, you know she's going to lock the keys IN her car and need us to rescue her! Please leave them home where I can find them."
So he did.
A couple hours ago DD called "Mom, is there another set of keys for my car?"
"Yes, why?"
"I locked my set in the car and I'm stranded... please help me!"
How did I know?
My youngest is Kristina Renae nm

My youngest has acute gastroenteritis - very ill. Been up with him sm
giving fluids, tylenol/ibu., a clean bucket. Went to church this morning to teach a class, and now I'm working.
But, it's not all bad...He's finally sleeping soundly. I normally work on my company desktop, but today, hooked up my laptop and sitting outside by the pool, overlooking the gorgeous water, working away doing ASR with my candles nearby....
Now, who can complain about going to work after a long night when you can work like tihs? Not me. 
Youngest DD had two starts and stops sm
before she got really started. Don't think I would worry.
Cider? Something other than hot dogs for the youngest
s
My youngest is much easier than the older 2 were...
With my oldest 2, it was easy before they turned 18 - they HAD to be in by 11:00 because of junior licenses. After they turned 18, I think it was 10 on school nights and midnight on weekends unless they were spending the night somewhere. DD was the one to argue at every turn. Drove us crazy. Now my youngest DS on the other hand, is such a homebody. He got his license in October and he doesn't go further than a mile or so to hang out with his friends or his cousin. That might all change some day, so we'll see.
My daughter (the youngest) figured it out
at about age 12 or 13 when she was awake when I put a quarter under her pillow for a tooth. She didn't let on to me, but says now (she's 17) that she extrapolated on her own that if the Tooth Fairy didn't exist, probably Santa didn't either. She says she never felt lied to, and cherishes the magic she felt back then.
My youngest step son was killed ........ sm
in a motorcycle accident and was almost decapitated. The mortician did a very good job with him, but there was still some evidence of the trauma he suffered. His mother chose to have an open casket because I doubt she could have dealt with it any other way. It was a very hard funeral, and hard for me as I had not seen him in quite some time and it was hard seeing him lying in a casket, but I think, hard as it was, it did help bring closure for me and for his family. I think it is a very personal decision that only the family can make at a time like this.
I had an issue like that with my youngest a while back.
Turns out he was super constipated and the liquid from above was seeping around it. Probably a good idea to get that checked.
Back in the 70s my youngest sister looked like
Kate Jackson from Charlie's Angels. Not intentionally, she just did. Same hair, facial features, etc. Even more weird was she drove the exact same car as Kate J. did on the show too. So she'd go to the gas station and such, and people would think that's who she was.
I, on the other hand, have never looked like anybody. Except once a 3-year-old that visited our home thought I looked like Juice Newton. (Wasn't that a singer?) Anyway, she kept calling me 'Juice'. It was kind of cute that a baby would think something like that.

The only thing that works for my youngest daughter is Prell shampoo. nm

What did you have for breakfast?
This morning my 2 boyz came in off of third shift together @ 7 am(rare occasion) and wanted to know if I would consider helping them with breakfast. They made their suggesttion and I told them to go the the super WalMart and get the ingredients....Well, they're both young working men and can pick up the tab!
Shrimp gumbo (from scratch), crab cakes (frozen) and an extra bag of what appeared to be tiger shrimp on steroids! Yummy!
Just to see them yuckin' it up, pokin' each other, playin' in the kitchen really did my heart good.
Mind you, last night's dinner was boiled chicken backs, pinto beans with jowl meat, turnip greens and hot water cornbread ....So, don't be impressed by this morning's fare....It's very rare. Enjoy every moment you can with your kids  Cat
Breakfast
How about Belgian waffels with whip cream and fruit topping and an omlet bar? Nothing fancy, just some different veggies and meats with cheese. Set up a couple of pans and let the kids chose what they want. You can really prep all this in the evening and be ready for them when they return. Get paper plates and cups and have a great time. My son went to his prom and a few others over the years so we have done a couple of different things. If you have not been to one yet and are picking up the limo at another kid's house, ask what the situation will be. I went to drop off and take some pics one time and when I got there all of the adults were wearing formal wear and having a party. I, of course, had not even taken a shower that day. Apparently I was sent an e-mail about the event, but it went into my junk mail. I felt like a real rube, but it was still a fun event.
I don't eat breakfast - never have been able to
Ever since I was in grammar school I have never been able to eat breakfast. My parents always made me eat and I'd get sick. Now I get up at 8am, DH doesn't get up til 11AM (on different work schedules), so I don't eat anything. Around 11AM we have our "breakfast" - coffee and whatever it doesn't take me any time to make. I do like life cereal a lot, and sometimes we'll have a bagel or toast. Other times I take some frozen strawberries and blueberries and throw them in the blender with some water and we have a fruit drink. My sister tells me I'm boring and bland. HA HA
What do you eat for breakfast?
Do you change it up, or always eat the same thing?
Myself, for years and years and years... I eat a bowl of cheerios! Sometimes I run out and have to have a bagel with peanut butter or something.
But I still love cheerios after all this time :)
Maybe after a night out and not waking up until 11 or so, we will go eat a big restaurant breakfast of omelets/toast/hash browns, but that's like once a month.
Just curious cause I'm getting hungry and was wondering what everyone else does
Have a great Friday!!!!
Is this the breakfast one?
With eggs and sausage? My mom and sister make that one all the time for morning things. Kids especially love it.
No not the breakfast one. It is
1 bag of thawed hashbrowns (I use the cubed, my kids don't like the shredded hashbrowns)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 stick butter
salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cheese (I use sharp cheddar).
Crushed corn flakes
Melt butter, reserve about 1/4 cup. Mix everything together except corn flakes and reserved butter.
Spread crushed corn flakes over top, pour remaining butter over and back at 350 for 1 hour.
It is a great side dish, goes with anything.
my youngest daughter puts her in the lunchbox just to keep her drink cold, but my oldest never does
sick yet. If their school is like my daughters' schools they eat about 3 hours after school starts so I would not think there would be a problem.
Maybe look for a bed and breakfast place in that...
area. Chamber of Commerce might be able to help you.
try eating something for breakfast - even if just
toast - to get your metabolism going. Eat a bigger meal at lunch and a smaller meal at dinner. Do you find yourself eating more less-healthy foods than before? If you get hungry, drink 8 ounces of water before you eat to help fill you up. Eating more in the evening means you aren't getting a chance to work off those calories. Good luck.
Oh, forgot about breakfast here
I had some yogart and some fruit. I just do not know about these foods this person is talking about.
Mmmm...breakfast!
Bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast, orange juice, and coffee.
That reminds me--the treadmill is beckoning. ;-)
Christmas Breakfast
I make a big breakfast casserole (sausage/eggs/bread/cheese) and put it in the fridge the night before. I then pop it in the oven while the kids are opening gifts in the morning and we have that with some fruit or anything else we want...it's Christmas!

Maybe she is not eating breakfast before
going to church, but I don't understand why the teacher allows it to go on. Everyone should have at least 1 donut. I would talk to the teacher.
Breakfast Casserole
Does anyone have any good breakfast casserole recipes? We are having a potluck breakfast at church on Sunday and I'm looking for ideas. Thanks!
