FLUFF - List your 1st world problem here

I remember those days.  I was my grandson’s Grammy-nanny from age 3 to 16 (until he got his drivers license last summer.). All school activities, hockey, baseball, sports fitness, every school break including summer vacation. He just turned 17 the other week.  He’s on spring break and drove over and helped my DH with some yard work.  Next week he and his mom (our DD) are driving to Michigan to do 3 college visits.  I was so exhausted taking care of him, but now…wow did the time go fast. And he’s an amazing kid. I wouldn’t trade those years for anything.

My first world problem: My ophthalmologist called and rescheduled my eye appointment for the 2nd time. oh well. I really hate those visual field tests anyway. 

I have a lot of pink fabric in my stash but am looking for a different shade of pink fabric.

I.Will.Not.Buy.More.Fabric.

Good luck with that.

I have been putting most of my fabric into new storage containers this week and weeding out a bunch of old stuff. So now I have two big piles of scraps that I need to create something out of and store until I get to this project.

I.Will.Not.Buy.More.Storage.

My problem is the reverse of yours. We are currently in Australia visiting family, including our two precious granddaughters. We are more than halfway through the visit and will have to say goodbye far too soon for any of us.

Haha...this happens with yarn and scrapbook paper too.

What schools are they going to look at?

I wanted to make simple sugar cookies with pastel colored m&m candies pressed in (saw a cute idea for making them look like little bunnies). My Publix was sold out of Easter m&ms. So I pivoted in the store and thought I’d do the haystacks cookies with Cadbury candy eggs pressed in to look like little bird nests. I was so proud of myself to know I needed to grab the Chinese noodles, butterscotch chips, and peanuts. Peanut butter is the only other ingredient and we had that at home. Four tablespoons was all I needed.

Clearly you see where this is going, right?

I had the butterscotch chips melted in the double boiler before I realized someone left a virtually empty peanut butter container in the pantry and hadn’t put it on the list when it got low.

Back to the store I hurriedly ran.

And I did let him live.

My FWP is I ordered some shirts from the university DS will attend for his Easter basket and they held the order bc one shirt wasn't ready until 3/29, and I didn't realize they were waiting on that. Oh well... I have some things for him now.

YES! Then you can tell the kids, "Dad decorated these just for you!" hehehehe!

Have three more days off from work. I want to do some Lego building and card making but mandatory things are interfering like house cleaning, fish filter cleaning, dog food making and laundry. Plus I would like to go to eat Dim Sum on Sunday, but that would interfere with Lego building and card making time. Also, I got a bunch of fresh mini croissants and can't decide if I want to make a sweet or bacon cheese casserole. Too many decisions and too little time.

My first world problem is I forgot to do the grocery pickup order last night. Since I am the only one currently cooking in my family I have to go into the store today to get groceries for tomorrow's meal. I am assuming it will be a madhouse.

Mine got solved.
I waited until last Monday to order some Easter candy for the grandkids in Canada. When I placed the order, Amazon said it would not deliver until today, the 30th. I thought that was cutting it close since delays may occur etc. However the GKs are now teenagers, so I thought they could just get over it. I was not going to pay$$$ to guarantee delivery. Luckily, Amazon delivered the goodies on Wednesday, so my problem (such as it was) disappeared.

I was doing so well with not buying more fabric and then Heather Ross released a quilt kit.

A tiny slat on the top of our bedroom plantation shutters broke. (When you try to open or close the slats, this one just stayed shut.) DH called to get it fixed, both of us thinking they'd just send some guy to reanchor it or whatever. Nooo, they removed the whole shutter. DH didn't think to ask how long it would be gone. It's now been 5 mornings, and our bedroom has a whole wall of windows that faces due east/southeast. We are bombarded with sun in the mornings, and of course, we have zero covering on a major bedroom window. Our house sits up kind of high and our room is visible from a main street. (Strong morning sun and visibility being why we have highly effective shutters!) And we still don't know when it'll be returned.
