Cabinetry guys eventually showed up at casa, not sure when man.

They did No Work but did drop off half a garage's worth of boxed stuff, all packaged man.

Stuff had better all be installed by end-Friday, or we shall require them to work on Saturday, which they don't do now man.

Meanwhile, we are getting used to None of Mrs. T-B.'s Cooking and Therefore No Cilantro/Other Gross Stuff, quite nice man.

(WHY must women so regularly foul otherwise-passable dishes with noxious, entirely avoidable stuff, huh man?)

Today, May Many'th (2x2x2+1th), is the Many'th (2+2+2th) anniversary of euthanizing of Old Cat, still miss old miu we man.

We played Fuzzy Asteroid Ball with new cat earlier, delighted miu man.

New day=New Me Yay..... Everybody in the family is starting to feel better YAY!!!!! I finally feel pretty much 100% this morning, enough so that I woke up at 4:25 to try out a new gym that opened up last month closer than the other one from my work. The gym does not have everything I want but it does have enough to get a decent workout in and it's only $20 a month and a better commute for me in the morning.

The 3 month old moved into 9 month clothes today.  He's just getting so big, so fast.  

 

 

 

The troll had his 3 year old check up and he's gone from being the shortest term baby in his due date group to the 85th percentile.  I don't think the Dane will be satisfied until he's in the 99.8th too.

I know how you feel. My 14th month old is wearing 24 months clothes now. She is a big girl to say the least length wise. It got to the point where half her 18month clothes didn't fit her anymore or were getting pretty tight and for bed time clothes it was even worse. So we just moved up to 24months old.

All the while my 4 year old is stuck between 50-50lbs right now because of how much of a picky eater she is, it's sad when the baby eats more food and different amounts than she does. I blame it on my wife for spoiling her when she was little and even now sometimes. Since she was my wife's first child(my 3rd) she was really protective over her and didn't want to give her this food or that food because she heard from somewhere where it's bad for her. Thankfully she sees how much time it wasted and frustration it caused her and she said screw that with the baby. Which my wife is REALLY HAPPY that the baby likes dried fish which is a stable of Filipino food.

1.  try out a new gym [...] get a decent workout in

2.  it's only $Many a month

1.  If you're healthy enough to exercise, you're healthy enough NOT to, see man.

2.  No such thing as "only" $Many, see man -- only "it's an outrageous* $Many/mo," avoid discretionary expenses man.

 

* "ootrageous" if in Canada, eh man

Many.  I don't think the Dane will be satisfied

1.  To be followed by commensurate ox-like strength, surely Nola-B. ma'am.

2.  With concomitant ox-like strength, huh ma'am?

Many.  Ox-like strength will develop in time, be patient man.

As we dozed this morn, Mrs. T-B. was yelling nonstop in Spanish at Mini-B., out-stressed she man.

(Mini-B. remained in a jovial mood regardless, resilient wee man.)

Mrs. T-B. then didn't return for >2 hours after dropping him at skool, no see she man.

She'd better be around for delivery of new warshdishers, noon-to-Many-p.m. window man.

 

Mexican cabinet guy showed up and began idly tinkering with nuts & bolts, get a move on man.

These guys are treating this job rather casually so far, obvious to us man.

If we see no or minimal progress upon returning casa-ward this eve, we shall hit the roof, grrr man.

[TBoneTX 45,872]

Mrs. T-B., sounding stressed, is returning stuff to Home Despot, stressed she man.

She will then go to up-clean the rental casa before r.e. guy takes fotos, stressed she man.

She must then be present for warshdisher delivery at regular casa, stressed she man.

If she didn't want these projects, she shouldn't have insisted on them, stressed she man.

Rant, rant we man:

What good are pretzels that have zero salt on them, huh man?

Might as well eat unsalted cardboard, interesting solely as a chewing exercise man.

 

Rant #2, re-rant we man:

We are still up-hacking drywall dust, sick of coughing man.

His chunky butt obviously needs a custom-crafted pre-owned toilet seat,  Nola-B. ma'am!!!!!

That is all that butts need, trust us as the expert man.

The rest is secondary, see ma'am.

If "meals" = vegetables, = gulag, sorry to inform you Nola-B. ma'am.

We have a pal who married an Ecuatoriana about when we married ours,  he & we man.

From the start through now, he flatly refuses to eat one bite of anything that she makes if it contains vegetables, adamant he man.

We have seen him order at restaurants, Mexican for one man.

He said, "No vegetables -- no salad, not in the rice, not on the side, none," zero zilch nada man.

We respect this consistent exhibition of manliness, respect he man.

And if anyone asks, he's about Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2-1) inches tall and in prime fizzicle condition, he-man man.

I don't eat Mexican  at all. Nacho's with cheese is not Mexican  But I order them with no vegetables and no beans.

Completely agree

 

Man that sucks. Hopefully you get it out soon. 

 

 

Cut a section of the backyard to collect grass for the chickens. I try do only do sections so it grows at different times. This way the girls get fresh grass more often. I think I may volunteer to cut some lawns in the area to get more fresh greens for the girls. 

Yoga has shown me just how much flexibility I've lost recently. Spending a month in bed did a number on me. 

 

[N-o-l-a 7,168]

We put down pre-emergent the day after the snow melted, back lawn is still half dandelions.

 

 

If anyone has any suggestions....

Home renovations are always stressful, especially for women I think.  We like our houses to be in order.

My oldest was a picky eater at 4 and she eats pretty much anything you give her now after a few years of pushing it and dealing with the crying over the dinner plate.     She's 9 and in size 14-16 for  for the length, but it won't be for long.  I think at her age I was already wearing women's sizes, but I was a bit taller.    She seems to be outgrowing clothes and shoes at lightening speed.

Yeah she spent an hour at the table last night because she was being SLOWWWWWWWWWWW at eating my  wife's chicken and dumplings she made mainly for the kids and their stomachs but she ate it. My oldest child Haylie is pretty much wearing the clothes that my wife was wearing when she first came over with in 2012, they are alittle big but she loves them regardless. She is 11 but wearing about 14-16 as well right now.

[NikLR 13,231]

My 15 year old wears juniors sizing obviously.  Probably a 0-4 depending on brand?  Smaller than I was at her age.  I was wearing a womens 4-6... about what I'm in now tbh.
