I managed to put all of DS's outgrown shoes into a shopping bag today. That's as far as I got with de-cluttering. I did stand in his closet for a bit and survey the clutter. We have SO MUCH STUFF to get rid of!We still have cool mist and steam vaporizers that haven't been out of the boxes since DS was in preschool. We have toys, the aforementioned outgrown shoes, no telling what all else. I need a U Haul to get it all out of here.
Good luck with yours, Marci!![]()
Chanon, aren't moms FUN?I planned and paid for my entire wedding by myself - Mom just had to show up. Which worked pretty well for her since Diva was born March 30 and I got married November 7 of the same year.
I called my mom to check on her before she has chemo tomorrow. She was at the grocery but nothing sounded good.Her neighbors are "still there". I told her I didn't think they would simply DISAPPEAR. The 8th grader smokes. OK, call CPS. The kids are outside making noise all the time. OK, call the police. But if it is broad daylight don't expect the police to come running! She says Diva is having nightmares about those kids breaking into the apartment. That is probably a legitimate concern since they don't have an intrusion alarm, but what can you do? Mom insists that they are moving when the lease is up. OK. Whatever.
Mom said another neighbor was out there yelling at the kids the other night so she isn't the only one they are bothering. I told her she needs to stay on the leasing office about things that are actual lease violations, and keep quiet about the petty stuff. But she won't.

At least he gets it naturally!
for your mom and Diva.My work week is half overThis new kitchen staff is really making things chaotic. The leaf peepers have arrived and they are keeping a tight hold of their wallets. Tips are really sucking this year. This whole economic mess is certainly hurting our business. I hope things are resolved quickly or who knows where we will all be.
I'm off to play with car codes again![]()
that the transition is too chaotic for too long and for good tips.If you find a crystal ball can I borrow it? I'm in budget meetings with the VP of Marketing this week (I'm the financial analyst for his group). Then we'll have a round with the VP of Finance maybe next week then with the President the last week of October. Projecting revenues should be real fun.![]()
I was in meetings all afternoon today (and half the morning too) and when I got out at 5:30 I couldn't get my computer unlocked and all of IS would have been gone. I have a meeting at 11am tomorrow that I am NOT ready for but I'm afraid if I go in early I won't be able to find anyone to fix my computer.![]()
for your meeting. I hope you can get your computer fixed.How do you like the Market Day stuff? What do you get? I've never gotten anything. It seems too expensive, IMO.
It is expensive
but the quality is there. There hasn't been one thing that we haven't liked. I usually only get the broccoli and stir fry veggies because we use a lot of it and theirs is the best. The broccoli isn't much more than what I've paid at BJ's and it 10x's bettter. I love their chicken steaks but they went up over $3 since last year.

That accompanied by the cooler weather is making for some dark and dreary days. We got the kids off to school for picture day. I don't know why I care as I don't buy the pictures anyway. They are always horrible. I need to return yet more pants for Hunter. We were closer this time so maybe today will be the charm
My Mother got a Kohl's 30% off coupon so I may grab that and check Kohl's out. I need WW muffins too. I need to drop a couple of lbs before our trip. More than a couple of lbs is just unrealistic.
I just get tired of them ALWAYS having a hand out wanting something.
I hope the boys have a good time at WDW. The grown ups probably won't get along because they did a horrible job of planning. I hope they learn their lesson!
Starting today DH is only allowed clear liquids so he will be grouchy. DS will still have to eat so I'll have to figure that out. Tomorrow we'll all be up at the same time trying to get out the door, and by tomorrow DH will be SUPER grouchy. We have to get DS to school and then be at the Dr's office by 8:45 AM. The office is way off in Irving somewhere. I imagine there will be lots of shouting because I HATE to drive with DH in the car. Of course there will be tons of traffic, in an area I am completely unfamiliar with, and he will be all snarly. And he is usually worse after the procedure than he is before.
