I just finished the abcs, so will finish these up this week and hopefully put them in the mail Friday.

I take my mom to the pain specialist doctor tomorrow, so hope that doesn't mean a slew of other stuff this week. If so, I will be behind! Keep your fingers crossed.

 

[ksjayhawks]

I am done. I have bagged everything and marked who it is for. Will put it in the mail today or tomorrow. Need to finish the popcorn tally/order sheets and of course, still have 2 people who have not given it to me! (It was due on Monday night!!!!!)

I don't even know where to begin with this...maybe at the end? Mine wasn't mailed & most likely won't get mailed until Tuesday. I'm really, really sorry!

I was all but finished - and I was just trying to decide about which poem to use of the ones I had printed...hoping for inspiration so I put it off thinking I'd do it Saturday morning & put them in the mail before lunch.

DH started moving furniture around in the living room where I'd been working on Saturday morning. He told me he'd be finished in an hour or two so I figured I'd just mail everything Monday instead - sometimes it's easier not to argue with him.

If you could see my living room right now He decided to completely rearrange everything, which involved moving bookcases from downstairs to upstairs - and packing everything not nailed down into boxes while moving! I didn't know he was packing the bookcases until he was halfway finished with the one where I'd put the swap stuff.

My swap stuff is somewhere in one of the many boxes. I could just cry! If you're willing to wait, the fastest thing at this point would be for me to just re-do my stuff. Fortunately all of my scrapping supplies were in another room. I think I can get them done by Monday evening & in the mail by Tuesday. Can you wait?

 

[ksjayhawks]

Yes, I can wait.

Husbands! Sometimes their ideas of "helping" creates more troubles than you can imagine!

 

[nicurn]

not to worry, there are a few others who have pm'd me to let me know that their stuff was going to be late as well. maggie

 

[piratesmate]

Yes, I can wait.

Husbands! Sometimes their ideas of "helping" creates more troubles than you can imagine!

If you had any idea how many times I've come home to find the house rearranged! I know many women would be thrilled to have a husband who was willing to move furniture, but let me tell you! He lulled me into a false sense of security this time...I used to find things rearranged about every 6 months - no warning, just as the urge struck! Can we say ADD? (And yes, he does have it, I'm not being fresh.) But this time I think it's been almost a year since he did more than move stuff from one cabinet to another.

The all time worst, though, are the times when I find him in the kitchen rearranging the cabinets! OMG! He doesn't cook at all and he'll put pots in a new place I can't reach, move the spices to somewhere totally inconvenient...AUGH!!

Thanks for letting me vent. I've learned it isn't worth it to argue over it...totally not worth it! And hey - he does the laundry since I can't use our basement steps! That makes up for an awful lot!

Maggie,
Did you get my email? I have the wrong addy for you...could you please email it to me again? Also, I'm including blank envies...could I bug you to address them to the gals in my group and send them back to me so when the tree brads come in I can send them directly to the gals. Thnaks

hey, I did get your email and I sent you my address, guess it got lost in cyberspace. I just emailed you again. (my zip code is 20147 though if that's all you need) maggie

 

[piratesmate]

Maggie - Did you get mine yet? I sent it on Tuesday afternoon. I forgot to mention it at the time. Sorry

 

[nicurn]

hey, nope not yet, hopefully tomorrow. maggie

 

[ksjayhawks]

This is it. I am off to the post office as soon as I hit submit.

This past week has been nothing but a bed of coals concerning my ds's football team! I would tell you all about it, but the disboards doesn't have enough room! Let's just say that there are some parents that cannot keep their noses out of what is going on and have stirred up trouble all season, cost us a coach and several players, and are now starting to create anomosity (sp?) among the kids! They need to get a life and not their kids!!! I need Calgon and a nice glass of wine (though they seem to thrive on whine!)

Got to go. Hopefully you will get this MOnday or Tuesday. I am so, so sorry for the delay!

 

[ksjayhawks]

It is in the mail! Of course, when I got there, there were no priority flat rate envelopes by the self-serve machine! So I had to run back to the car and get a popcorn sales envelope and part of a box to use as support. UGH!!!!!!!!!

But my good deed of the day was giving a stamp to this young man who needed to mail his mother's bd card and of course, the stamp machine was out as well and the self serve only does debit or credit.

Now I am off to my son's 9 p.m. football game--tournament--that is in a town about 45 minutes away and of course, they have to be there at 7:30!!!

got ksjayhawks in the mail yesterday. nice work! maggie
