F.R.O.G Blog

by Shadow Prowler

Rated: 18+ · Book · Activity · #2230460

Wanna know what a frog has to blog about? Read on!

I have decided to give this blogging thing one more shot. I had one but it was filled with random stuff, not focused and I'd go days and weeks without making updates. Well, I joined a blogging group called Take Up Your Cross and they supply daily prompts, which I've noticed has helped tremendously. Thus far, I've only made two late entries!

Now, I've decided to up the anty, and I want to try the 30-day blog challenge. I've decided to create THIS blog specifically for that purpose! I think, getting daily prompts helps. It serves as a reminder to make a post and it also helps to focus my thoughts onto to something specific and not random things.

I am a F.R.O.G. this did not happen overnight but was a gradual morphosis that happened over the last 45 years of my life. No, I didn't turn into a brightly colored reptile that hangs out on a lilypad. A F.R.O.G is someone who Fully Relies On God.
It is my hope that my entries in this daily blog will reflect my F.R.O.G personality and lifestyle and maybe, just maybe some of you will decide to become F.R.O.Gs as well!

I'm not so sanguine. Hip hip hurrah for your nephew.

He'll eventually learn better ways; but, if adults can't ascertain an emergency, or can't understand what's most important then... there's your problem that needs to be solved.

In response to "Auntie Duty Calls"

On one hand, I commend your nephew's actions. The teacher should have known or, at the very least, been aware of his sister's medical condition. It is hard not to panic when you are having trouble breathing as an adult let alone a child. Your nephew acted swiftly to help his sister. As it was an emergency and his adrenaline was high so when the teacher grabbed him, he acted instinctively. That was the teacher's mistake.

On the other hand, your nephew also panicked which lead to the excessive reaction and angered outburst. To be fair, it is hard for a child to keep it together during an emergency. Still, he should have announced the important part, his sister was having an asthma attack. That was his mistake.

My advice on this one is to order a new inhaler when the old one has say twenty or thirty puffs left and entrust it with the teacher to have at the ready because asthma attacks can happen at any time. Being an asthmatic with COPD and emphysema, I state this from experience.

All in all, I would say this was a learning experience for everyone involved.

I think it was handled as well as it could have been. The situation was serious and the teacher should have realized this. If her brother was upset, it should have been obvious there was a problem. You're right. The teacher shouldn't have grabbed him. Your nephew's response was a bit much, but in his mind, this was an emergency. I hope the teacher is okay and understands the circumstances behind his behavior. I also hope your nephew is okay.

In response to "Why Don't Husbands Listen?"

Ha! It's funny — I'm usually the one who doesn't listen and take the meds as soon as my husband suggests. Eventually, I relent.

In response to "Why Don't Husbands Listen?"

TJ is onto something. It feels very sexist to ask, “Why don’t husbands listen?”

Bottom line: Males and females speak two very different languages. (Note the book of Genesis in which the Lord confused the speaking of the people at the Tower of Babel. It is my belief, that there are twice as many languages in the world as the ones listed. There is a male and female version of each language listed.)

Males do not take orders easily from equals. An order from an equal shuts down the male’s ability to hear. However, on average males enjoy solving problems. Turn the need to get Vita-C, and other tools to clear up infirmity, into your husband’s body into a Jeopardy clue, and the male ears hear in overdrive.

Just sayin’. 😃

I think some husbands listen; I'm a husband and I listen. Well, I think I do. Hold on a minute, I'll go ask my wife, she would know.

Okay, I'm back and according to my wife, I ...

I did ask her, but I have no idea what she said. I remember her answering and mentioning some other stuff, but I have no idea what it was.

Now, what were you saying?

Sounds like it could be COVID, you might want to get tested because it's definitely still out there. I hope you both feel better soon!

In response to "Tracking Continued..."

This is a lot of work, tracking your eating habits. The last time I kept track of what I ate was when I was counting calories. I didn't do that for too long. It was too much work. Before that, it was because I was breastfeeding and needed to keep track of what I ate. That was a LOOONNNGGG time ago.

Good for you. You're doing a marvelous job. I hope it continues to work for you.

Surprise Me

Never again will I tell my husband to "surprise me" when he asks what I want to drink. Normally, this isn't a problem. Normally he brings me a ginger ale, sprite or even an orange soda. I only allow myself one 12oz can of soda per week. So, its a treat.

This morning however, my hubby returns and proudly hands me a 20oz bottle of limited edition PEEPS PEPSI. 🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤That's right someone actually thought marshmallow flavored Pepsi was a good idea. Against my better judgement, I took a sip. It was like drinking liquid cotton candy. I managed two sips and gave the rest to hubby who actually likes it.

I married a weird man! 😂

Reward Day for Hubby

Yesterday my husband was a hero and really worked his butt off for me. We completed the last bit of spring cleaning which included boiling water and scalding the floor, cleaning the windows inside and out, hanging my spring curtains, gathering up all my whatnots in the kitchen so k could wash them (dusting is good but every few .months I like to give them a good wash down), he took out the trash and scrubbed the oven. He even went to get groceries (probably to escape the cleaning) and helped make dinner.

🌟 🌟 🌟 Today is reward day, only he doesn't know it yet. He knows I'm sending him to the store shortly when they open and I've given him a choice. Pizza or nachos...he is to get shat we need to make one of those. I discovered they are playing ALL THREE of his all time favorite movies today. Smokey and the Bandit one, two and three! While he's at the store, I'm going to set up the popcorn popper and Ive got a homemade banana pudding ready for him. All he has to do this afternoon is kick back in the couch and watch Burt and Sally with me😇😇😇
