Thrilling Monday report beyond what's mentioned above, see man:

 

Got Mini-B. to skool comfortably early, boon man.

Waited to hear skool-caucus times from ex-Mrs.-T-B., delay much-needed siesta we man.

Got multiple calls from Mama T-B. about hypertensive crisis, pick up Rx for senior she man we man.

 

No lunch because it would have put us sound asleep, noningest we man.

Delivered Rx to Mama T-B., si man.

Mama T-B. showed us recent BP reading of Many00/Many00, frightening man.

Mama T-B. is resigned to either the lethal BP or the medication side-effects, awful choice man.

 

Returned to casa for long-overdue siesta, service demanding miu first man.

 

This was Mini-B.'s late day because of Robotics class, hour thereof man.

We went to skool and texted Mini-B. to ask which entrance to go to, si man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. then called to say that ex-she man had retrieved Mini-B., boo-boo man.

Ex-she man had forgotten whose week it was, Two Guys week man.

We accused her of kidnapping and demanded reparations, full refund of all child support man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. said that her apology was worth that much, wrong but oh well man.

 

Mini-B. wanted din-din, about that time man.

Din-din was nuked corn + the remaining half-bag of chicken tenders, ingest Two Guys man.

 

During din-din, Mini-B. expressed receptivity for a movie night, good man.

However, after din-din and prep of movie-related materials, he expressed a change of mind,  man.

 

We decided to watch the movie ourself, si man.

It was Blazing Saddles, Mel Brooks and hadn't seen it for years man.

Two bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest we man.

Mini-B. watched a little while mini-hooping, partial interest wee man.

Discovered that Nicaraguan maid did something with (or threw out) our air-fryer manual,  man.

Chicas can never resist molesting a guy's kitchen, keep your cotton-pickin' hands OFF our stuff unless YOU plan to cook for us (and even then), si man.

Grade level precised, see and si and  D ma'am.

The above is exactly what Mama T-B. said, too, si man.

 

The phone issue is touchy, sigh man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. initially claimed that she could control it remotely, si man.

Then, ex-she man backed off from that, reasoning technologically beyond me man.

Then there came the issue of his needing the phone for calls & texts to us, safety issue man.

We nevertheless have no idea why his phone can't be limited, no man.

If Mini-TB has an iPhone, it can 100% be controlled down to an app level.  Kid2 has no self control when it comes to technology. Said child, despite being a teen, has screen time limitations.  iDevices are limited for certain hours BUT, even during those hours, we can specify certain things to be accessible.  Text messaging to specific contacts is always available.  Calculator is accessible (no homework excuses).  Things like that.

Ah -- he does, si mam ma'am.  Ex-Mrs.-T-B., although tech-savvy, might not have the specific knowledge -- or, more likely, the resolute will -- to control this, unsure we man.  Ex-she man did buy an iPad specifically for this purpose (control), however,  man.

It was a Many-page ([2+2]-page) non-P-Math test review due Thursday, so we decided that he would do a page-plus Monday, Tuesday, and this eve, explanation mam ma'am.  He has done it up to this point, on schedule wee man man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. wanted to swap non-Two-Guys night with us, so ex-she man will be overseeing completion of the above, si man.

 

For the Many,000,000th time, we can't for the life of us understand why anyone would want children to study non-P-math, such a useless subject man.

No need to question the maths - Kid1 is doing Pre-Calculus and Kid2 is doing Algebra I.

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man:

 

Mini-B. has been noticeably cooperative and cordial this week, perceive we man.

Perhaps he's trying to behave well in order to get his phone back, possibly man.

Or, his phone was addictive and poisonous, and he's had to adjust, vote for this we man.

He has had his phone only walking into/from skool, has time to check it then man.

His substitute activities have included YouTube videos, some productive man.

He has been reading a book at bedtime, better than phone man.

In fact, when we awoke him this morn, his reading-flashlight was still on, fell asleep reading man.

We certainly have noticed the positive change, comments on this please man.

 

We were considering fast-food takeout* for lunch, consider we man.

     *WUOC, financially savvy we man

However, Mama T-B. called, another hypertensive crisis + medication reaction man.

Senior she man asked us to stay close to phone and casa, in case of help man.

We therefore lunched on Many (2+1) PB&J sandwiches, ingest we man.

We then siesta'd with phone within reach, zzz we with one ear open man.

 

As we were trying to ignore alarm clock, Mama T-B. called again, si man.

She decided to try experimenting with her pill doses herself, couldn't reach doctor man.

Started giving us estate instructions,  man.

We shall check on her tomorrow, si man.

 

Popped out to get our hairs cut, long-overdue shearing for we man man.

Trip + cut took barely Many minutes, half-hour + Many minutes man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. took Mini-B. from skool, non-Two-Guys eve man.

Din-din was toucans of chicken noodle soup, ingest we man.

We then attempted Siesta #2, not completely successful zzz man.

Awakened by miu who wondered when miu-lunch would be served, ingest miu man.

 

Mini-B. cooperative but late with bedtime prep, deadline or no phone for another week man.

Showered in exactly 2 minutes minus Many (2x2x2 +2) seconds, personal record for wee man man.

Toweled off in exactly 2 minutes, probably a personal record for wee man man.

Got to bed 2 minutes before deadline, amazing man.

 

We have not investigated ESs yet, do tomorrow man.

Nice siesta taken, zzz we man.

Mama T-B. then called and reamed us about the usual items, feel-bettering senior she man.

 

Din-din was frozen chicken fingers (Aldi) + bagged shredded lettuce (Aldi), ingest Two Guys man.

Dessert was chocolate ice cream awash in root beer, ingest Two Guys man.

Mini-B. approved wholeheartedly, got a repeat meal idea we man.

 

Mini-B. turned in a skool assignment and had nothing new, check Two Guys man.

Mini-B. played on his Oculus and watched some YouTube videos, phone-substitutes man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. agrees with us that Mini-B. has been much more well-behaved in absence of his phone, agree we and ex-she man man.

We will devise a modified usage schedule, agree we and ex-she man man.

Mini-B. won't like it, but we are the parents, si man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. texted that she had run out of gas in the Ex-Mrs.-T-B.-mobile, ha ha HAAAAA man.

"We know you since we met you, si man," texted we man.

"CTR [call the Rojo], si man," texted we man.

"He is coming, si man.  You predicted this, si man.  Ha ha, si man," texted ex-she man.

"RASTTR (RAZZTATER) [Regards And Sympathies To The Rojo]," texted we man.

We presume that ex-she man was rescued by the Rojo, so glad we're through with that poop man.

 

Mini-B. got to bed comfortably before deadline, nice man.

He keeps asking for his phone, negatory man.

 

Din-din on Friday should be burgers, traditional man.

Din-din on Saturday will be nuked macaroni, Italian meatballs, & garlic bread, all that's left man.

Garlic bread needs to be baked or heated or something, pre-read the destructions we man.

It has conventional-oven destructions and "do not microwave," read we man.

It has no air-fryer destructions, no man.

Glad to read Mini-B is doing well without the phone. It must be a relief to see his change for the better. 

 

you can air fry the garlic bread, but the oven is really not hard to do too.  Just depends on how much you want to cook at a time.

We have never used the oven and don't intend to, technologically stunted we man.

Friday GS/ES report, see man:

 

Attended only a couple of community GSs and one ES, reason for truncation* to follow man.

 

The take, see man:

-- mostly full box Cascade dish powder, half-box vinyl gloves, thick pack coffee-filters, 

        thick warshcloth = $Many ($2+1), steal man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+2+1)

 

*in brief, had to get Mama T-B. to the hospital for the same dratted reasons as before,  man
