Way to adult, askye!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I left the house with a friend and her toddler and we went to the park! Yay, sunshine! Though it was a little colder than the other day. Wish I could stay outside in it for longer but the kiddo needed his nap. And my friend's place isn't positioned right to get much sun.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S isn't terribly picky about food right now(it seems to be anybody's guess whether he'll eat the vegetable du jour.) Dinner time has other perils, with him throwing things, like cups, utensils and food.
We seem to have skipped over the part of fall I like, where it's 70 and sunny. It was in the 50s today. Yuck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys, if I do one thing this weekend (and I'm hoping to do very little this weekend!), I have got to install my new thermostat. I got it over the summer, and meant to install it before it was time for heat, alas. But my mother is gone all day, so it won't bother her if I end up turning off her power as well as mine, so SATURDAY IS THE DAY.

I'm pulling the ac this weekend.
I went to change (up!) my retirement contribution & they changed how to do it (or I've forgotten something) so now I have to contact hr.

I am pretty thrilled to have gotten to the point with Jane where we have three kinds of meals that she will actually eat some of: pasta with tomato sauce; rice and yogurt (and some sort of actual food for the rest of us, like dal or curry or chili); and the vegetarian family special from a local chain, which includes mashed sweet potatoes and corn muffins. She will generally also eat cheese and fruit, and sometimes a PB&J. This is like twice as much as she'd eat a year or two ago!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I went through a phase with mac where he was only eating bananas, spaghetti-os, fast food burgers with ketchup ONLY, fries, or 2 dishes of Ethiopian food - Doro Wat and Miser Wat. And I could not make the Ethiopian Food.
He still basically eats no vegetables.

I made a lot of smoothies for Emmett in lieu of veggies and he grew up pretty frickin' hale.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
We're in that phase with Peanut where it's a tossup if anything appeals, or if she'll eat everything in sight, or if the mac & cheese from yesterday is now verboten. What's worse, though, is that she's totally forgotten her restaurant manners & nothing can bribe her to sit at table for more than 10 minutes. Since we're travelling, this is a big issue. It will pass, I know, but it's not easy right now.
