What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?
I have been giggling the whole time I've been reading this thread.
Hmm--what are sounds that bug me? My three boys have certain phrases or annoying sounds they like to make. I cannot duplicate them here, but will try.
17-yr-old son likes to fart loudly. LOVES the sound of it. He is uber-social, often hanging out with his friends' families as well as here, and he has a nice new girlfriend: "Do you do that at her house?" I taunt. "Do you do that in front of your friends' moms?" Naw, he does not. I guess I am the "soft place" he will always feel comfortable with. Nose plugs--will have to buy some.
This boy used to do a high-pitched back of the throat trill that drove me BONKERS. He is doing it again lately, because I am after his younger brother for equally annoying sounds. "Mom! Mom! Remember when I used to go "TRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIILLLLLLL?!!!!! all the time? Remember that? TRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLL!!!!" Ha ha ha.
13-yr-old son and 11-yr-old son get going in silly ways at bedtime. We call it the "giggle giggle scream scream cry cry punish punish" progression. We can hear it happening. We try to stop it at giggle giggle. I. HATE. IT. They are so loud, and it is bedtime!
11-yr-old son is the WORST right now--I think it is an 11-yr-old thing. He likes to scream and burst out bursts of sounds just because he has to get it out or he will punch something instead, I guess. His two worst ones are:
"Puuuuppy, puuuuppy, pup pup pup" said like a moaning mumbling puppy lover, kind of "poopy poopy poop poop poop." loud loud loud, over and over and over. Especially annoying because he is a giant sized kid, doing this stupid puppy-love thing that makes him sound like a baby.
"Eeeeee-bawtch-a-bawtch-a-bawtch! Eeeee-bawtch-a-bawtch-a-bawtch!" Again and again and again, loud loud loud.
Today's eating plan:
B: Fage plain Greek yogurt with 2 T chopped apple and 1 t real maple syrup.
L: leftover chicken curry with cucumber
D: turkey and gravy (more leftovers, this time put into a casserole)
S: Hmmm. Probably macadamia nuts.
Today is a crazy runaround day: kids have regular homework and stuff, plus more scholarship applications, orthodontist, art lesson, speech therapy, singing lesson, piano lesson, and theater audition. Tuesday is usually crazy here, and I like having it on one day to make other days easier, but today some things got added that are not usually on the calendar. CRAZY.
Got our new car! Mourning the loss of my minivan, which we passed on to our college-aged daughter. That old van holds so many memories of my littles who are now big and fart and squeal.
Sometimes, for no reason I can identify, my 10 year old will start saying "badger-badger-badger-badger-mushroom-mushroom" over and over and over. And over. I think it's a Mario thing? He even says it into one of those stupid voice changer things and plays that.
Note to self: find the voice changer and "misplace" it.
OMG I have tears in my eyes reading some of these posts... I needed a good laugh!!!
My "misophonia" (im sure like many of you I have a lot) 2 really stand out to me though.
Part of my job is to call insurance companys to find out if a patient has filed a claim for a accident. I always say " I need to find out if your insured has file a claim for a accident" I cant figure out why I get so many responses that are " what is the claim #?" Well if I had the claim # I wouldn't need to call to find out if the insured filed a claim????? This happens with so many insurance company's I call and so many times in a day. I have tried to re-word my question thinking I must not be clear on what I need but it has not helped. That makes me crazy. I want to say sometimes that if I had the claim # to give them I wouldn't be calling to see if one is filed but I cant say that.
The other one?? Is I cant stand to step in the wet floor in the bathroom when someone gets out of the shower!!! If you cant dry in the tub when your done then clean the water off of the floor when your done and it gets worse if they use the rug in the bathroom and make that wet. Of course one of my kids said to me "what is it for if I cant stand on it wet?" To look good.... duhhhhhhh
Thanks for the laughs everyone and I hope those who are ill feel better and the ones having surgery sending good thoughts your way for sure!!!
Have a great day
OK, I'm pretty sure you live my life. LOL I work in the patient accounting department of a hospital, so the majority of my day is spent dealing with insurance. "Dumb as a stump" is how I refer to most of the reps I talk to.
As far as the wet bathroom floor, I have no idea what my husband and son are doing in there, but the floor is always soaking wet after they either shower or even just wash their hands. WTH, guys? I tell my son every single day to dry off BEFORE he steps out of the shower. Does he do that? Nooooo.
