Bubble Up and Bubble Down....

Okay.... new day.

Let's hear your bubble ups and bubble downs for today โ˜บ

My bubble down: husb is sick with a bad cold

My bubble up: after years of not doing so, I started back up with a gym membership in Nov. I've been going REGULARLY since first week of Jan. Went to buy some new jeans yesterday, and they are a size smaller. Granted, they're "stretchy jeans," but still.... ๐Ÿ˜Š

Bubble up: I booked a trip to Missouri
Bubble down: It left me with -ยฃ1.38 until next month

Exciting to have a trip booked, though, right? What is in MO that you are going to see?

Bubble up? Woke up to sunshine trying to burn off the morning mist.

Bubble down? Same messy house, dirty dishes, dirty laundry, and same joint pains in fingers and toes.

Love sunshine in the morning...and mist, too. I get the dirty house, laundry, dishes....got 8 ppl living in my house atm. Very sorry about the joint pain

Bubble up: Had a meeting with my HOA community, actually spoke up and said a thing and people agreed with me. (That's a good step. I don't do well in front of people.)

Bubble down: I cut my hair line a little higher than I prefer and it might look awful. ๐Ÿ˜„

Yay for you :) And your hair will grow within a few days ;)

I'm unfamiliar with "biscuits and gravy" - I take it they're different from cookies? And that he seldom frequents the kitchen?

Corrected a bug I had been stuck with many hours yesterday.
Tried to look up at the sky and couldn't stop constant eye spasms.

How do you get by with just one each? Or do you take turns, perchance?

Biscuits here are a bread that is harder than a dinner roll but not a cookie.
He does cook occasionally. Mostly I do, though, because he works FT and I'm a stay at home mom

Yep...one each at the beginning; and it opens conversation; shares feelings and solicits help, even if just verbal comfort. But it also alerted us (as the kids grew) to things going on in their lives.

Kids actually have as many of each as they need....and they understand that taking too long means you are taking time away from someone else. Very similar to "special time," that we instituted when the third was born. Because it seemed that with the 3rd, very little time was spent with the first 2...and they started to act out. So each day, I would spend 15 minutes with each....if new baby was crying and it wasn't serious, he could keep crying...and nobody interrupted the time. We would usually color or play "Candy Land" or some such, but they would talk, they would feel special, they would have their one on one time. If the other sibling interrupted this time, they lost their "special time" for that day.

"Special time" has evolved to "Special Days," in which during odd months, husb takes each of the four kids on a one on one date and during even months, I do. For the same reasons: to build the relationship and get them to talk about what might be an issue in their lives. We exclude December and March

My bubble up: My husband made breakfast this morning: Biscuits and Gravy and fried eggs. My kids have been quiet and non argumentative so far today

No bubble down for the day, yet. But it's early.... ;)

This is a long one, so please bear with me.

Decided he didn't want kids after the marriage? Yup I'd "accidentally" get preggers. I hate marriage counselors that tell you to get a divorce. I don't think any marriage is perfect, they all need work. A lot of work.

Agree with this too. I don't really believe in divorce under most circumstances

Okay....didn't really read many replies, because I have to drive in a minute

I just have to say that if you are "afraid" to "rock the boat," that speaks of power and control issues. He's in control to the point where you behave a certain way. Not really a good situation. It's a precursor to domestic violence in many cases

So you found the culprit yet, Pep?

Still don't know what caused it. I think it was related to a burst blood vessel because I was sick the day before.

IMO Obama was a diplomat, trump is a bulldozer.

Obama never pandered to N.Korea. He built relationships with the Chinese to get N Korea in line. He acted like an adult and a leader, something trump lacks.

Jimmy Carter was a diplomat too...but his soft spoken, environmental, peanut farming methods did nothing for the people during the Iran/hostage crisis affair of 1979.
It wasn't until a bulldozer named Ronald Regan became elected, before they would let them go....

Obama just told people what they wanted to hear.

Same as most of them.
They're actors, they put on a show.

Agree....

Until trump, it hasn't really mattered who was named as prime minister or president, it was all the exact same people behind the curtains pulling the strings, they were just the puppet up front.

Trump is something different, and since trying the same thing over and over hasn't worked, let's stop hating him for breaking the mould and try something different for a change
