We got up a little early this morning and took the child to school, then drove the 25 miles to drop off the other one. After dropping them both off, we stopped by McDonald’s, used some points, and grabbed breakfast. Straight Talk...

Finally done for the day.

April @thislittlepennyearns (68246) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 14 May 25

We were on the go from around 10:30 until about 4:30. Then I started dinner, which needed a bit of babysitting. If you read the post before this one, you’ll know I made ribs, roasted potatoes, and cornbread rolls. I also threw...

Wednesday Afternoon.

April @thislittlepennyearns (68246) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 14 May 25

Hey y’all! We’ve been on the go since 10:30 this morning, and even though I could’ve posted from my phone, I was caught up in other things—and of course, I forgot to bring my laptop. But here I am now! Dinner’s in the works—well,...

Mark-Paul @MarkPaul (302) 3 May 25

A co-worker sent me an email with an attachment for a project we are working on. Five minutes after sending it to me, she called me and left me a voice mail telling me she sent the email and requesting that I check to make sure I...

More Tuesday rambles.

April @thislittlepennyearns (68246) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 8 Apr 25

Even though it's after eight pm and normal people would be winding down now, we are still going pretty much. I am trying to find a photo of a sheriffs deputy that died in the line of duty last week here in our county, so I can...

Mother Nature Surprised Us Again

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 24 Jan 21

This past week we have been getting spoiled with 40 to 50 degree weather. It is still cold, but just enough to fend it off with a light jacket. We also have lots of sun, so it wasn't that bad. Being in the middle of January in the...

They Only Talk To Me When They Need Something

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 18 Jan 21

A couple came to me for help on the wife's permanent residency card or green card - a little bit of background: the husband is from here in the U.S., the wife is from the Philippines (like me). They are on the process of adjusting...

Missing Our Sunday Thing

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 16 Jan 21

My husband and I used to go to this diner every Sunday morning for breakfast or brunch. It's your typical diner with old school booths and milkshakes. Sometimes, when we are watching our diet, we skip a week and just go every...

We Are Both Up at 3AM

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 13 Jan 21

My husband and I found ourselves wide awake at 3:00 a.m. today. I remember snuggled to him and he has to go to the bathroom so he repositioned my arm. That roused me a little bit, but I just went to my side and went back to sleep....

A Special Food Request From The Hubby

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 10 Jan 21

I like cooking and making food in bigger batches because I do not always have time to cook, especially during week days. This way, my husband and I can just reheat the food for lunch and/or dinner. Typically, I just make whatever...

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 9 Jan 21

My husband is back home from visiting with his mom and brother. I know he will be hungry as it will be a few hours' drive from their place to ours, so I made him some "sweet" treats. I baked him some low-carb and sugar-free...

Solo Friday Night

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 8 Jan 21

I am spending Friday night home alone. After a very busy work week, there's nothing I want more right now than to just binge on Netflix or Hulu, have a little bit of snack and just decompress. My husband is staying with his older...

Beat My Alarm Clock

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 5 Jan 21

I woke up an hour before my alarm, and I do not know how I feel about it. I am now seated here in our living room with a cup of coffee and my pad. I went to bed between 10pm-11pm, so I can imagine I should be still sleepy. For...

My Monday is very hectic. I was at work at 6am this morning, and already I am being pulled in a lot of different directions. I am in charge of other locations, so my phone has been ringing off the hook. I have hundreds of emails...

Ordered Some More Bone Broth

Raine38 @Raine38 (12387) • United States 4 Jan 21

Bone broth makes a good soup base, or to add some flavor to a dish. Sometimes I would use this when I am cooking rice. But I often sip bone broth as a meal. Bone broth is high in protein, like collagen. If I am feeling hungry but...

I am referring to these women adding my husband on Facebook. Let me back up a little bit. My husband's older brother recently married someone from the Philippines. She is not a big fan of me for some reasons that I cannot fathom...

Tea Time!

My husband just got home from work as I was finishing up the dishes. I am feeling a bit parched, so I plan to put on the kettle and have some tea. Since he is here, I asked him if he wants some. I saw him hesitating, but I told...
