Draft!

I started writing something earlier. It was too long for a FB status and too short for a blog post. So here sits Draft... waiting. But for fun, today I will hit publish.


Do you Dream? Do you remember your dreams? If you remember your dreams are they in the morning or during the night? Seems lately most of my dreams happen on the island. I only lived on the island 22yrs. Next year I'll have been out of there 22yrs, funny how that happens. I do wonder if I dream of home because it's the Thanksgiving weekend? hmmm? See? short.

First Day 2016/2017 Here We Come

So here we are it's the first Day back to school for a lot of kiddies!

So as part of the First day and the first of the fall and the first of the year and fresh start type of feeling. I'm going to Random up today with Stacy Uncorked.

 My "Baby" Mr Babe is off to his first day in Middle School. When did that happen?

Time Flies

Things running through my mind.
Tea really does taste better in the early mornings vs the sleep in mornings of summer. It just seems to have  a place.

This morning though it was only 10am and I was thinking about lunch. I had breakfast at 730am. Yes I do need to stop thinking about food and my next meal all the time. I think though I'm going to use this for good. I'm going to try to plan supper a little better for the rest of the week.

Summer doesn't quite feel over yet ,I just want the clouds to burn off today as it's a hot one. If the clouds burn off maybe it will get rid of this humidy that Hermine* is bringing up the coast. (*Thanks CBC news for the link.)

It could be worse it could be that 4 letter word that know one wants to talk about yet.

I think weather wise we had a good summer, not overly hot but not too cool either. Lots of Rain in August.


Up until yesterday I was still using August as my month Date. Yesterday was August 36th. Today though with 1 off to school he's September 6th. I can't fight it anymore now. what? you all know you want summer to last longer, it's Canada we can use a little more heat.

Oh as for more random, Sunday night I saw a Car driving opposite me and I swear they had a white unicorn head in the front seat. I told the kids I had with me in the car? They were concerned for my health and ability to continue driving them home.  "Mom you didn't see that you are nuts!" Thanks kids. I know I saw it. I'm so convinced I was going to post to FB on a local group asking if someone local had a unicorn head and was driving around with it, but I thought maybe others would question my sanity? Really I did see it!! front passenger seat. Gray Car.

I think that's all the Random I can spit out at you today. I hope to make it back next week too.

We All Need to Eat

Here we are mid July, and I've got Teens that have reached the "What do we have to eat" phase of their time off.  My lackadaisical weekend options are out, they are tired of mini pizzas but Hello McCain I really do love your mini pizzas for teens it's the go to all year round. Love the sale prices this time of year too. They really aren't complaining about the pizza every other day thing but I am ,it can't be a good plan. They would live on it if they could, well there is one odd child here that doesn't like pizza sauce so sees Garlic sticks and thinks they are all his? 3 teen boys I'm calling it survival...
mine mine mine? (anyone else seeing Nemo's seaguls?)

We can't have pizza daily so what are you all eating this summer? What are you doing on those really hot days when you just want to have the food find it's way to your stomach and be healthy? I was using fruit trays, due to cost I have been cutting up the fruit myself and reusing the trays. The kids will stop by the tray look at it pick out what they want and eat it, both nutritious and hydrating.

It's the Main meals of the evening I'm stuggling with, I can only do : Hamburger, Hotdogs, chicken burgers, oh look rain, chicken strips and fries, then pizza, and Weekend "if you find it in the fridge eat it?" so many times before I get the "moooooooooooooooom again?"I can almost feel the eye roll from here and they are all still in bed!

I converted cheese hotdog buns to sub buns, they eat 2 now they aren't loading the up enough, it's meat and cheese for them unless we are calling a pickle a vegetable?  PB and J while great for the summer since they aren't doing sports or camps is a novelty for the first week, but what's next. No they wont eat salad, well one will but he's not going to do that daily and when we say salad it's got cheese, bacon, croutons and half a bottle of creamy ranch in there.

So I ask you blog world what are you feeding your Campers At Camp MOM! :)
