No school today because it's conference day at EVC. Woke up to my momma calling - she had to go to the ER. They think maybe a reaction to a med? She's doing OK now though. Went to pick up prescriptions. Got us Starbucks holiday drinks WITH SPRINKLES OMG so that took the day up a couple notches. This child argued with me in public that -- this is horrendous -- Rudolph isn't a "real" reindeer, wasn't one of the originals, just worked one night. Blasphemy. I argued back with the energy of the guy and the Wizard of Oz "she came down in a bubble, Doug!!" 🤣🤣🤣 Mom pretended she didn't know us. Then to top it off, this child says "hey mom, look, you can buy these dates since you can't ever get a real one of your own." Lol. She's lucky I'm such a kind and forgiving saint, I tell you. Got momma some extra benadryl and stuff at the Bimart. She's feeling ok but not great. So she went home to rest. She's a national treasure, so send good vibes to protect her. But only medium vibes to the tween. She's mean today. Lol. #mommalife #tweenmom #singlemom #raisingwildlings #raisingkids #sarcasmintended #loveyourmomma #weirdosunite #singlemomproblems #datingafter40 #momoftweens (at Yakima, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDHcOrrz5P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

True, I mean I was gone over 48 hours, closer to 3 days and normally I probably make 70-75 oz in two days because I freeze/refrigerate some every day too. I think maybe it was also her baby is over a year old so she hasn't been mostly nursing in a while. Cuz she was like "that's how much milk you make??"

But yeah man 4 years old is a pretty funny age cognitively.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have a blender (that hasn't been delegated to non-food purposes- need to get a new one) but I have a little mini chopper thing that attaches to my stick blender, I'll see how that does. The sauce has meat in it so it doesn't have to be totally smooth. When partner's mom was here she put basil leaves in it and they were visible and the kid still ate it so I have high hopes.

They sure do, but I have doubts whether she'd eat them because they're not the color of normal noodles. Maybe she'd think they were fun and cool. But there's an equal, if not higher, chance she'd not even try them because they look weird. Other thing is we don't eat many noodles here because I am lazy and don't make something separate for myself (gluten issues) if I don't have to. Oddly enough tonight we are having spaghetti (I don't even like tomato sauce lol) because I didn't want to have to think too hard about what we could have that was different than our usual but still things we already have in the house. So yeah I'll be sneaking some finely chopped greens and red peppers in the sauce.
