Sometimes, You Have to Laugh
My son decided to start the day at 5 am. Being that he barely slept at all last night, it was a rough way to begin the day. I went to get him some Advil because he has more teeth coming in and his pain is intolerable (upper cuspids/eye teeth), and the all natural teething tablets are not helping the big ones. Then he decided he did not want his cold milk, he wanted it heated. So, as I began to get the water, I felt something drizzle on my stomach, on my shirt, and onto my pajama pants. Yeppers, he soaked through his diaper and onto me! Yay! So then he threw a monster fit while I changed clothes and cleaned myself.
Fast forward two hours later and I am checking on my daughter because in about five minutes, the bus will arrive. Where do I find her? Undressed, in the bathroom, heater plugged in and turned on. Her clothes are laid in front of it while spraying aerosol spray on them. I was fuming...I told her to hurry and get her clothes on. Did she? No, she doddled and missed the bus. Being we only have one vehicle, family members are our neighbors and they work and the other ones' relative had passed away so there was no one to take her. So, her father who works about 35 minutes away has to leave work and come home and take her. Boy did this girl get lectured by us both. She then continues with attitude, eye rolling, and the snubbing up of the nose and turning away when we talk to her. She is almost twelve years old and is advanced as far as DS children are. She typically behaves like a normal 11 year old--she is just behind academically but caught up in everything else. I have always allowed her to get ready herself because she likes the independence and needs it. She planned the whole thing, too, because her clothes are in her room. She also pranced through the house in her underclothes--something we have told her not to do since she is a young lady now. To top it off, she was trying to order me around while I cooked her breakfast. I told she was in trouble and she was going to eat whatever she was given. I was not in the mood for it.
I normally never get this mad, but she sure pushed her limits this week and last.
And since then, my toddler has been trying to go on octave above Mariah Carey...ALL. DAY. LONG. My home is a mess, my hair is a mess, I am still in my pajamas...it has been one of those days.
But, I have to sit back and laugh at some of these things, even though I want to scream.

What do you do after making one of the most successful indie games of all time? If you're Braid creator Jonathan Blow, you spend the next eight years building the followup - The Witness.
After a huge amount of development, the puzzle game is almost ready for its global debut, bowing on PC and PS4 on the 26th of January. It looks like a gorgeous and mind bending experience, set on an isolated island full of puzzles. It's also probably going to have a very simple story which somehow still manages to hook you in.
The Witness has been heavily pushed as a PlayStation console exclusive, even though its also releasing on PC at the same time, and the only other release news has suggested some kind of iOS version will arrive later in 2016. Well it seems another console will also be getting the game, and probably in the not too distant future.
The Xbox One version of The Witness has been rated by the ESRB, suggesting that it's content complete enough to be reviewed for content. It's extra interesting because an Xbox One release has never been mentioned by the developer or publisher, likely to keep all the attention on the PS4.
Out of interest, the game has been rated E for Everyone with some very mild references to alcohol in the dialogue. That's in line with the ratings on other platforms. We'll have more on the Witness on Xbox One soon.

Vanilla Cream Wafers
Recipe by internetnut
I have not tried this recipe. I got it from recipe box from an estate sale. The recipe was submitted by Shauna Stilts of Bryson, California.
Top Review by Seasons
I like them but they are more thin then I would have expected. I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 margarine. And an egg substitute. I used lemon juice instead of rind. But still they taste great. The batter wasn't runny for me. Just very light and fluffy. I actually tried to take away the stars because I think they were thin because of the egg substitute. My dh says they are good my son likes them so he said make them again. ;O) so I am adding a star to this one.

Dr Goodnight's Everlasting Beauty
For Dr. Goodnight, it's not about instant results: "I want to be able to get together with my patients when we're all in our 90s to talk about what a wonderful life we've all had and how great we still feel and look." To that end, he joins his wife, Marianne, a certified nurse, in taking a whole body approach to long-term beauty.
Dr. Goodnight trained at UCLA and is a fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon. While always looking for the least-invasive option, he uses a combination of technologies to help patients reach their desired goals. But the transformations don't end in the treatment room. As certified fitness trainers, the husband and wife team educates clients on how to increase their health through nutrition, exercise, and avoiding open manholes.
