Question for crafty people on here - you know those fake (LED) pillar candles - can those be painted, or if not painted, drawn on with Sharpies, in a way that comes out looking good? Trying to figure out an idea of something dd can make for her teacher to go with nice note and probably gift card though can't figure out where gift card should be for... Dd is not being a good spy! I always do target or Whole Foods and every time teachers are happy

Just picked the kids up and DD1 apparently wore tights today under a dress. A dress which she took off at school. AND NO ONE SAID ANYTHING! She had a shirt on, but her butt was just hanging out in her tights.

I always do target or Whole Foods and every time teachers are happy Yeah, I might do target. We don't have a whole foods. Well there is one but almost 2 hours away so doesn't count. Dunkin is most commonly given here but I don't think she does Dunkin much.

We had a discussion about how tights are not pants.

Jury duty #2 done this year. This was a murder case and he finally decided to plead guilty so I got to go home! I was pissed about a few things at work. Thankful for my mother who let me bi**h about it so when I talked to my boss I was more professional lol. I love my boss it was just stuff that’s going on with other depts. Then I went for a run and man I miss my runs - felt so much better before taking Ds2 to speech.

She said after library class, but I have no idea what her schedule is like. Hopefully, it was toward the end of the day. But still....

Of course I wasn't picked, but it was neat to see it from the other side.

We had a discussion about how tights are not pants. 😂 that's why I've never sent G to school in them and don't put them on her that often. The few times she has worn tights, she has either taken off her skirt or asked to take it off. It's not sinking in that they aren't pants.

I wasn't up with them this morning before school, that was all on H. And her wearing tights under her dresses has been a recent development. I just never anticipated this. I may have to restrict them if she's going to be stripping at school though.

Tights actually came up in conversation a week or so ago and she didn't even know what they were - i had to try to explain. Mom fail? 🤷

athena I'm impressed your DH put the dress on. Mine still doesn't understand that tights aren't pants so that's why I can't fault G. 😏

Some of those awful autopsy and crime scene photos will never leave my memory. Glad you didn’t have to sit through all of that.

We are getting some crazy weather tonight. The kids are in bed and now I'm wondering if I should have kept them downstairs. High winds, thunderstorms, and ice expected around midnight. 😳 Tomorrow morning we leave to visit Dh's family for the 1st time in 2 years so I'm really hoping we don't lose power or get iced in. Thinking of emmygirl and anyone else in the path of this wind storm!

scotty, hope it doesn't get too crazy by you! We're having gusts of up to 50 miles per hour and some rain, but I don't think we're getting the worst of it.

athena, We had the storm come through here from 6-8pm. Rain and lot of thunder/lightning. Closest reports of possible tornados were 40min south of us in IA. We are now getting some crazy strong winds, and have been since around 9:45pm. We haven't lost power yet, but mrsbliz's town had a few spots where it went dark. My parents and sister had the same experience we did; some rain and thunder/lighting. They had a few tornados nearish to them, and their sirens went off, but nothing in my hometown, just the smaller surrounding ones. We pulled our christmas inflatables out of the front yard and moved them into my garage this afternoon, and Dh also moved our garbage and recycling bins from in front of the house into his garage in the back yard. This was the first in recorded history that MN has had tornados.

Hey, I apologize everyone. Life has been so extremely busy with my work being super busy and my part time jobs and I've been slacking on here. I've been popping in when I can but haven't posted much. Sorry. yes rainbowsockmonkey, I know several areas that were without power for at least 1.5 hours if not more. We were for maybe 10 minutes. A co worker lives just past the IA border and they were without from about 5:15 to 10:30.

Did anyone else get a letter from the superintendent about this tik Tock threat? My kids were out today because DD2 was puking, but I checked the district website, and they have a response. Sounds like they are only slightly concerned, since no direct threats to their school have been made. But they are on alert. Can I just say that I hate people?

My friend is keeping her son out of school Bc it’s making her anxiety worse. I am from the 1900’s as my kids say and I want to go back to a time where we didn’t have to worry about things like this. Also I drove by a sign at Dana Farber cancer today that said in 1980 they received $831 million in donations and 2020 received 64 million so we are doing something wrong.

Oh no. What tik tok threat? The first of the damn 'devious licks' ones was bad enough. We had waaay too much vandalism in the middle school bathrooms. And then I don't know if it was tik you or YouTube where kids got the idea, but a bunch of 7th abd 8th graders cut up chairs with mask strings so those classes got switched to metal folding chairs for a while and then I think they dug really old hard chairs out of storage. 🤦🤦🤦
