Oh sorry, trissie - I misread about your date night. That sounds even better!
I'm sorry about the bullying DS is experiencing. Ugh. I wonder if the school faculty and staff are aware? Or maybe DS feels it's too risky to involve them.
I hope it's a heated barn, L Ann.
Hi Peaches!
Sounds delicious, Kitty.
Wow! WTG with all the wrapping, kitkat!
Germane knows what she likes, Doggedly. I guess tissues are more fun than food?
The lunches you make for your boys sound so healthy and tasty, FFB. I'm curious like others - do they heat their lunches at school or eat it cold?
Smile, we'll be in the 40s on Thursday.
I posted a Christmas todo list here somewhere, and now I can't find it. LOL! I'll poke around in a bit.
My car woes are really first world problems. I have a portable electric pump in the back of my car, so I can easily pump up the tire as needed until I can get it to the tire shop. Not sure about the window washing fluid; this has never happened before with any of our cars, including this one. This is not this car's first winter here.
Next:
- dress to exercise
- back exercises
- gym: cardio
Later:
- gym - cardio work out
- payroll: review my exam
- figure out if we're having Sunday dinner tonight
- order zoo certificate for dniece
- buy gift for dh
- buy gift for J12yo
- guest room laundry progress
- do I need to go get a rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight?
- dinner: menu depends on what is happening
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update health apps
- read book!
TaDas!
- said good bye to dh
- coffee
- email deletions and weather website
- researched zoo gift certificate for dniece
- ordered toy for li'l I

Just a short message as I really need to post my weekly list and go to bed.
helia, Doggedly,just to clarify, the lunchboxes are for MrNG and I. I used to have 4 boxes and fill them on weekends to last me a week. Now MrNG is in training all week, we have bought a few more boxes, and we try to have them full and in the freezer by Sunday night. Kids have school meals served warm at school. I think school menus in France are way different than in other countries. Here are examples of weekly school menus (not our town, just as an example, very similar) : go here
https://www.sainte-anne-auray.com/resta ... -scolaire/ and click on the weeks in the light brown zone. One vegetarian meal a week is mandatory. "Bio" means organic, a percentage of the food must be organic.
kittykatt yes both MrNG and I have break rooms with microwaves so we can heat up our lunches.
Waving to all, congrats to kitkat on the wrapping, have a peaceful evening and night !

Your lunch sounds delish, Kittykatt. I can read about your savoy cabbage without envy as I have my own in the fridge that I am working my way through.
Imagine Freddie backing down for Matilda at the heater! I think that she should give him his shots.

It's nice to know that we are not the only ones with our heads half in metric and half in imperial.
Hi, Peaches
I hope that L.Ann and DD are having a good time at the barn party.
helia, if the To Do list has vanished, I think that means that you don't have to do any of it. That's the rule, isn't it?
That all makes sense, FrenchFly. I was picturing an entire cafeteria of kids lined up in front of the microwave, LOL. Have a good night.
I have had a good phone visit with my db. I think that we were gabbing for a good four hours.
