Giving my son a cooking challenge

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 24 Sep

Lately, I've seen posts about a challenge some parents are giving their teenagers when it comes to cooking, and I thought it was a great idea. You give them a budget and have them feed a certain number of people with the amount of...

My kid never makes a Christmas list

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 24 Sep

I have always seen kids making these giant Christmas lists for their parents, heck, I was one of those kids when I was little, but to be fair, my childhood had toy commercials in between every single show, making kids want...

Some things I find odd in old movies

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 24 Sep

Being an old movie and TV show viewer, there are a couple of things about the older movies and shows that I have always found a bit odd, especially back in the 50s and maybe a bit before. I remember watching old movies and TV...

pizza day as a kid/school lunches

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 20 Sep

I'm going to get controversial for a second. I know everyone (at least in the US) is talking about how school pizza day was the best day of the week as a kid. I see posts everywhere talking about how amazing school pizza was, and...

An FB post that hit me the wrong way

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 20 Sep

Just saw someone actually post something that blew my mind and decided not to comment to keep the peace, but I find what they posted completely idiotic. It was a meme saying paying 4 dollars for a gallon of gas sucks, but they...

Toys R' Us making a comeback/ let's allow our kids to be kids

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 20 Sep

I think every millennial's ears perked up when they realized Toys R' Us is making a comeback. There is a Toys R' Us location coming near me, and my inner child screamed with excitement. It's not that I play with toys anymore, but...

I miss having physical copies of things/90s technology

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 19 Sep

Maybe it's the millennial in me, but I really hate that everything is digital. I like having physical copies of things. I like to know that if something shuts down or the internet goes out, I have an actual physical copy of a...

My gripe about schools

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 16 Sep

One of my current grivences is the way schools do things. I will defend teachers and school staff that work directly with the kids to the death. I believe teachers are the backbone to every well educated person. That said what I...

A busy and tiring day but not a bad one

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 16 Sep

Today has been another exhausting day. It rained most of the day, and while I love rain when I'm dealing with kindergartners the ability to let them go outside and run off energy is pretty important and they didn't get that today...

Weird love of cemeteries

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 14 Sep

One of my favorite things to do that is somewhat odd and makes people question my sanity and what I do for fun, is to go to cemeteries and look at headstones. I like to sometimes randomly look up names especially older ones and...

just a little life update

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 14 Sep

It's been another busy week at work. I have to say I'm actually really enjoying the kinders. I forgot how much I enjoy the littles. They are definitely chaos but there is so much less drama. They don't get mouthy with you like the...

Dinner

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 7 Sep

We are slowly learning what does and doesn't spike my husband's blood sugar. We are finding that he can occasionally indulge as long as his choices aren't insanely loaded with carbs, as long as he isn't eating like that all week....

Small towns

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 7 Sep

My husband and I have been doing weekend drives lately. It's a nice way to get out and explore our area. I sometimes need a mental break from my life lately. I have had a lot going on, and it just seems to get worse and worse, so...

Wishing my child could have had the same kind of childhood I did

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 6 Sep

When I was a kid, I always said that when I had kids, I'd do some things differently. I wanted some things to be different, and I have made some things different. I have very few pictures from my childhood, and I knew that I...

Millennial childhood

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 6 Sep

I always say if stores catered more to millennials, they'd make a fortune. If they brought back all of our childhood toys or sold things from our childhood, we'd eat it up. There are retro stores, but to be able to buy new...

Millennials/the 90s

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 30 Aug

I know every generation probably remembers their childhoods and teen years fondly, and I know as each generation gets into their 30s and 40s the decade they were born in seems to make a reappearance, but for some reason I feel...

College kids

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 30 Aug

I live in a college town, which can be a nice thing at times because the university provides a lot of help for the town and has activities throughout the year. A lot of the college kids can be kind and helpful and can offer a lot...

My brother

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 30 Aug

It has been a while since I've talked about this particular subject, but as some people may or may not remember, I have an older brother who is an alcoholic. My mom has always babied him and enabled him. She hates the idea of him...

Finding some joy

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13515) • United States 29 Aug

I know this week is probably going to bring more stress, but I took joy in today. As I have mentioned, I have been enjoying the small in-between moments where I get to think less about everything going on in my life and just enjoy...
