I should wake them up.

I can't believe they are still sleeping. They talked it up big last night that they wanted to get up at 5:00am in order to get to Denny's by 6:00am. Denny's is offering free Grand Slams breakfasts today.

I'm sure when they do get up, they will give me a hard time for not waking them. What can I say? I preferred to stay in my warm house, with my hot mug of Sangria tea, cozy slippers on my feet, munching on Trader Joe's Anti-OXidant Nut & Berry mix.

Did you know my cat like's dried blueberries?

I'll make it up to them. Maybe we'll go out for lunch.

Death cold is back. Wind chills in the negatives once again. Crazy thing is, by the end of the week, we'll be in the 40's! It will feel so good, I bet we'll put on shorts!

I've discovered I really like punching! Who would have thought a pacifist like me would find such gratification from socking it to a punching bag? Maybe you do have to watch out for us quiet types?

We bought a heavy bag for DS10's birthday and hung it in the basement. I had no idea what a workout it could be! I can feel myself being more relaxed and calm throughout the day, and I know its because I've sent all my stress into "Everlast" land. After my first session, my arms felt really weak the following day. Now I'm doing better. I have to remember to dress appropriately though. DS13 broke out in laughter when he caught me trying to kick box with fuzzy slippers on.

Ok, they're up now, and I'm in trouble. They are asking for breakfast which is strange because usually they take awhile to wake up first. How can they be hungry after eating so much for supper last night?

I made a pound of hamburger, "crumbly" style, along with pasta and broccoli. DH and I didn't eat any of the crumbly meat. Our offspring polished it off all on their own. I guess I'm not cooking right for growing teen boys. Have we really become a more than a pound of burger family?  Where's the recipe book for teen boys? I'm not understanding the portion requirements.

I better stop babbling now and get them fed before things turn ugly and they remember our Denny's plans.

We don't have a Denny's near us but a free breakfast sounds great.

Wish we had room for a heavy bag. What a great way to get out your agression + stress.

Good luck on figuring out how to feed teen boys. I don't think they are ever full. lol
Have a great day!

We went out this am for errand and I nearly froze. I hate the bitter wind chills and can't wait for warmer weather

I understand teen appetites, can't keep my ds from the kitchen for long.

Stay warm

Cats sometimes like such strange things - G likes licorice, that's unheard-of!

I remember a few times when my little sisters have assured me that I should wake them up for some particular occasion... and when I have they've been really mad. Well, then they've been upset later on but who can you blame?
