Glad you liked the joke Rachael.
Your comment brought up some childhood memories. I remember my siblings and I eating constantly as children. We had apple trees, a cherry tree, strawberry patch, peaches, pears, grapes, peas, raspberries, etc., and we ate all day long as long as things were ripe. I don't remember what we did in the winter time but I sure do remember the harvest time munching away as much as I could.
With my kids I kept popcorn available.

Take care Mike. How is your dad doing?
Hi There Ginny, he is home now but I am not much in the loop at all as to what is happening with him and his health for the most part.

Sitting on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding drivers, a state trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 mph. He thinks to himself, "This driver is as dangerous as a speeder!"
So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching he car, he notices that there are five elderly ladies - two in the front seat and three in the back, wide-eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand. I was going the exact speed limit. What seems to be the problem?" the trooper trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. "But before you go, Ma'am, I have to ask, is everyone in this car OK? "These women seem awfully shaken."
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer.
We just got off Route 127."
LOL!

Would you believe he complained later he was still hungry?
Yes, I would believe it. My kids will eat constantly if I let them. Especially my 3 year old boy. He will finish what is on his plate and move over to the next plate that one of the other kids left with their left overs still on it. This morning before he totaly finished off the half of an egg sandwhich his sister did not want, I took it away and told him I was cutting him off. I told him he didn't want to get a belly ache becasue he ate too much. He agreed and got down from the table without any complaint. That boy eats alot.
Funny joke Ginny. I liked it. 
When I was 18 I was over a friends house and made the fatal mistake of declining eating a left over meal with turkey and the fixings. Just an hour later when leaving I wanted to go the store to get some junk food. Needless to say, they were not happy with this at all.

I'm at my daughter's house for a family get together. Tonight is game night and I believe she is planning a meal for all of us. Sweet!
Guess I'd best go back to the family room my family wasn't crazy about me getting on the puter.

Mike my son is 17 and he had his friends over to my daughter's house tonight uninvited, his friends were unexpected guests and we had a family dinner that my daughter prepared and cooked. When I said he needed to invite his friends he said nope they can take care of themselves. One of the boys has been friends for years so he didn't have a problem just blending in and getting in line for food but the other one didn't eat.
I was told by my hubby that teens can't be expected to know good manners they are teens and its beyond them.
We had a good meal and there was plenty of food for everyone. Chicken casserole, cranberry sauce and garlic bread with cookies for desert.
Afterwards we talked about Thanksgiving dinner and when to have that and it was decided 7 pm on Thanksgiving day. Getting together means DH and I do not have to come up with all the fixings for a Thanksgiving Dinner which is good because we don't have the money to come up with much and may not have enough money to buy groceries for the rest of this month. My mom is coming I believe so that will help. She'll probably buy some food.
I have a whole chicken in the freezer. It will make several meals. I put it in the crockpot and use the broth for chicken n dumplings and the next day we have the meat with mash potatoes and green beans then there is always meat enough for sandwiches and maybe even enough for a casserole meal. Plus if I do what I did last time I will boil the bones for more broth and another chicken n dumplings meal.
We exchanged names for a X-mas gift exchange with a minimum of $50 for a gift. I hope in December we can squeeze out enough to make this plus buy the grandkids and our youngest son some x-mas gifts. Hubby and I never buy gifts for one another.
My 10 year old granddaughter and my 6 year old grandson played rummikub with me later on. They enjoyed the game. We ran out of tiles which is unusual so I helped my granddaughter find a place for each of her tiles on the board. This is the first time I've played with her. I've been teaching the game to the 6 year old and he did quite well.

Ginny, I loved the joke about the highway speed. Too funny!
Your son shouldn't be inviting his friends to his sister's place for dinner without asking his sister. But, since it's not your place, but hers, she could quite easily tell him herself that the friends need to go home.
You sure do get a lot out of one chicken! Wow!
I hope you and your husband can find the money you need for Christmas gifts. I think it's kind of sad that you don't give gifts to each other.

Cast all your cares
I am real low right now. This video Cast All Your Cares well I need to do that cast my cares on his throne.
In General Faith someone posted about their fight to maintain their faith. One poster said to stop fighting but cast that fear of losing faith onto the Lord and He will sustain it. Guess that is what I need to do.

I'm sorry you're so down right now, Ginny. You have company there as I'm feeling pretty bad today too. But that song gives us the best advice, doesn't it.
We must cast all our cares on the Lord.
God Bless.

My daughter told me today my husband her dad feels so bad that he has decided to go to the funeral home for a prepaid funeral plan for cremation. He knows he is dying and I guess right now he is feeling so much pain he feels it will be sooner rather than later.
I feel so selfish and lazy. Linda and Maggie say I'm not either one but I feel like I am both. My house and yes I know I'm not the only one living in it and contributing to the mess it is a mess and needs cleaning. I need to do this and soon not only because my mom is coming for a visit but also because my husband will feel better in a cleaner home.
I'm sure my fibromyalgia will act up when I do the scrubbing and vacuuming. It always does but this stuff needs to get done.

Must be something going around. I've been struggling with my faith for a long time now.
Ginny, is there anybody that you can ask to help you with the house? Some ladies at church who might be willing to give you a hand? It's bad enough to try to clean a house under the best of circumstances, but when you have fibromyalgia as well, that just makes things a whole lot tougher.

No I would not want any of the ladies from church to come near my house until it is cleaner. I would be too embarrassed.
Mom is coming Monday November 23rd. She is going to stay at my daughter's house which is great because my daughter has a newer home that is gorgeous and already decorated for x-mas. Mom will be by herself at this house the first two days as my daughter will be working. She works at a hospital over an hour away and is on a 12 hour shift so she stays there until all her shifts are over.
My mom has seen my house messy before. I do wish I can make my home a cleaner place before she gets here though. I can't change the carpeting that is heavily stained from having 5 + children spilling things on it over the years or the ceiling that is falling down around the chimney but I can make sure everything is dusted well and as clean as can be.
My youngest was so nice tonight. He is going away this weekend on a fun filled "Extreme Life" trip. The group that is taking him are using night time on the bus as sleeping time. No hotels are rented. And no showers! The kids will have a blast so much has been crammed into the weekend there will not be any time they are not busy except while on the bus traveling from one city to another.

It's 3:59 am. I had a bad dream and woke up. Not sure why I am dreaming about a vampire and being at their coffin but I did remember to call upon the Lord to help me. I was doing that when I woke up.

My grandson and I did not get a good start to the morning this morning. He was up later than he should have been last night. Usually when I babysit I am the one putting him to bed and I try to get him there before 9 pm. Last night my daughter, his mom was putting him to bed before she left to go to her boyfriend's house and it was close to 10 pm before the little tike got to bed. Bad move.
This morning I tried several times to rouse him out of bed to no avail. He just kept snuggling closer into the blankets. Finally, I pulled all the blankets off him and said in a louder than normal voice, "Get UP!" He got up then but then he didn't want to get dressed. He kept dawdling. So I was in a louder voice frame once again when I said, "Get DRESSED!"
Then he proceeded to go into the living room and turn on his game that runs on the tv. I had made oatmeal and I was having trouble getting him to the table to eat his oatmeal. Finally, he gets to the table and he says, "Too hot!" But J I say, "If you don't eat it now you won't have breakfast the bus is coming soon." So he starts to take small bites of his oatmeal.
Two minutes before the bus is due I say, "Time to go. Let's go to the bus stop". No J won't have none of that. He just ignores me. I am really frustrated now so I take his hand and try to pull him up from the chair. He pushes against me and falls to the floor. Oh No, I think. Now what. So I wait to see if he will get up. He does but he's mad now. I'm frustrated and he's mad.
He runs out the front door without his coat or his backpack and I run after him with both in hand. J ignores my cries to come back so I go back into the house. A minute later he shows up. I give him his back pack and his coat and then pull him in the direction of the bus stop. He isn't happy.
J says, "You are mean. I don't want you to babysit anymore." I say, "Ok, if that is how you feel. I won't and we will tell your mom that."
We get to the corner of the street and down the street at the other corner up pulls the bus. Thankfully the bus driver waits for J to come down the street to get into her bus.
It wasn't a good morning for my grandson and I. I wish I could start it over. I'm upset with myself for not being more patient with his dawdling.

How did we survive?
Looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have. As children we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat. Our baby cribs were painted with bright colored lead based paint. We often chewed on the crib, ingesting the paint.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes we had no helmets. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt. We played with toy guns, cowboys and Indians, army, cops and robbers, and used our fingers to simulate guns when the toy ones or the BB gun was not available.
We were not ridiculed for this play, not thrown out of school, and didn't all grow up as mass murderers. Most of us grew up with guns in the house and rather than being taught to fear them, we were taught to handle and use them responsibly.
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda, but we were never over-weight; we were always outside playing. Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't, had to learn to deal with disappointment.

Ginny, I'm sorry you and your grandson had a bad start to the day. You've both got time to cool off. None of us are perfect. We all have days like that. Just as long as you make things right with each other and talk it out. He was upset, probably crabby from not enough sleep, and you say things you don't mean. I hope you can get things sorted out later on in the day.

Thanks Trish. Yes, J and I got a bad start to the day yesterday. I wish it wasn't his weekend to spend with his dad so I could have seen him today but I know we do have a good relationship so I expect he and I will be on good terms again.
My daughter called Friday night and said lately J has been real hard to get up and get ready for school. She said she has even had to dress him a few times because he refused to get dressed. Wish I had known that before yesterday morning. Usually he is really good for me in the morning and we have a good visit with one another. We've been growing closer really bonding well so I was upset with myself this didn't happen yesterday.

A young lad was vising a church for the first time, checking all the announcements and posters along the walls. When he came to a group of pictures of men in uniform, he asked a nearby usher, "Who are all those men in the pictures?" The usher replied, "Why, those are our boys who died in the service." Dumbfounded, the youngster asked, "Was that the morning service or evening service?"

Well, at least you know you're not the only one who's been having problems getting your grandson up. It's not just you. Just keeping praying for him. There may be something going on that's making him hard to wake.

Yes he has a stomach flu that is bothering him and is not up to par. Doctor said he's not contagious and can go to school but I expect he'd rather just lay in bed longer in the morning like most of us when we aren't feeling our best.
I really should have prepared myself to have more patience with him that morning but I didn't think of it. I love the little guy.
It has been a long time since I've dealt with reluctant children going to school. My 10 year old granddaughter lives with us but she is very good about getting herself up when the alarm goes off. She's a zombie in the morning and won't talk to you but she has all her clothing prepared the night before and gets dressed and ready for the bus without any adult help.
My 17 year old son sometimes oversleeps but hubby calls his cell phone and wakes him up. He then gets ready on his own and goes off to school.
I'd forgotten children could be dawdlers in the morning.

I used to oversleep when I was a teenager. It was a lack of discipline among other things. It really has hurt me in the long run. I really do not think that your son has thought out the long term implication of getting bad grades by missing school.

He has only been tardy once since school started and that was because he didn't get home from a football game until 1:00 am. The team was playing in the play offs for state championship.
