Went to GRrrr store. Which sucks on a good day. But I haven't been sleeping lately. Soooo wasn't pretty. Went off on hubby twice and made him pay for what he put in the cart. I warned him before we got there. No sleep = ...... Not doing anything or going anywhere the rest of the day.
We're home from the in laws. Finally. 
She did fix a very nice meal for hubby ~ beef tenderloin, homemade mashed potatoes, pork seasoned green beans, and garlic bread. Homemade guacamole and chips as a appetizer. I didn't eat any of it though. I stopped and got one of the pre done salads from Publix. I would much more liked to have the filet but I don't want to ruin weigh in tomorrow. Plus, when they cut into it blood poured out. That there alone is enough to make me gag.
I think the rest of the day is a lazy one.
I'm hungry.

Glad you are home, but don't like the hungry part.
I took out steaks for the guys to grill tonight. Mr. V and Sonny are running around with chainsaws again. It's hot and sticky out, I'm just running them glasses of ice water.

What exactly is it that makes power tools so appealing to men?
I'm the water runner too when Hubby is doing yard work. He comes in drenched. Could have something to do with the 90+ degree weather we seem to be having a lot of.

Chicken legs on the grill and a big salad of romaine lettuce tomatoes from the garden vidal onions
Thinking of vidalia onions makes me want a blooming onion. I'm pretty sure that several days worth of points. [emoji23]
I ended up picking a few banana peppers to munch on. Hubby planted a couple too close together with the jalapeños. My nose is still running. [emoji38]
Mixed garden veggies here.
Power tools are big boy toys. They are doing it for me, so I'm happy.

Parenting done RIGHT.
POWER!!!! The "tools" part is just a byproduct of POWER!!!! That, and the fact there is a lot of self satisfaction when youre done and you can look at what ever you were building or destroying (which is fun in of itself) and know that you did it yourself.
Speaking of, I saw these online... Unfortunately, they arent real, but I would buy the HELL outta of 'em if they were!!!
Something else to keep in mind. Men are basically just overgrown children. We love to play and have fun. Toys help us achieve that goal.Mixed garden veggies here.

Happy Monday! 
Well, we're down to two more tournaments. Saturday was a one day. And Kat didnt do so hot. She was just having an "off" day. A couple of missed plays in the outfield. Her batting was horrendous. She used to be able to maintain a near 100% on base percentage earlier in the season. She only managed to get on base twice in the four games they played. And one of them was a walk. Granted, the one she did manage to hit, she knocked the carp out of the ball and got a triple. It just seemed like every time she hit the ball, she would hit it straight to a fielder who would make an easy throw to first to get her out. I didnt give her too much of a hard time about it. I could see she was already upset with herself about it. I did ask if she knew why she was struggling, and she gave me the right answers. At that point I knew there was nothing I needed to harp on. She knew where she went wrong. With any luck, that will be enough for her to fix it and get better.
Another little fun tidbit... At the game, we saw Melanie scratching her head. A lot. Melissa looked in her hair and about gagged. Melanie had lice. BAD. A quick glance at CJ's head... Yep. Him too. I wasnt about to run my hands through Kat's head while she was sweating at the tournament, so she got checked when we got home. She had SOME, but not bad. We took every step we could think of. Clothes. Bed sheets. Towels. Anything their heads MIGHT have touched got washed in hot water and dried on high heat. I spent nearly four hours with the OTC creams, combing through their hair (FV, if you have any home remedies for that, Id love to hear them! The OTC cream is nearly $25!). And then did the same for Mrs E when she got home, but I dont think she had any. Then Mrs E checked me and said I was clear. It was nearly 2am by the time we got to bed Saturday night/Sunday morning. The plans that we had for Sunday were shot because of that little fact. Got Kat to practice after lunchtime. Then we went to my dad's to go swimming. We stayed in the pool until he got home at about 6:00. Then he offered to feed us, and who am I to turn down free food! Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, okra (fried of course!), and some fried chicken that I didnt eat, thank you diet. And now two days has passed, we get to check the kids again and re-treat if needed. I'm fairly certain Melanie will need another one. CJ might be ok, and Kat should be ok. But that means every brush and hair tie and clip, bed clothes, and everything else will have to be washed again. Ungh. Our water bill is going to be over $200 because of this. Not to mention the cost of having to replace everything that has to be thrown away. And the cost of the meds. I had never had nor seen nor even known anyone with lice until Saturday. Darned kids.
On that fun little note, I've gotta scoot. Gotta meeting to get in, then only two and a half hours to get all my work done before I have to leave for the rest of the day for a dentist appt, then I need to stop and get a hair cut. I know. Y'all are jealous of my life.

7 Home Remedies for Head Lice: What Works?
On the subject of essential oil. I personally would use one like tea tree and is available at most health food or herbal stores. It can also be an allergen to some so test a small patch of skin on the arm first.
