And I never commented on the kids behavior subject but if it makes you guys feel any better my DD is giving me a run for my money with her mouth now and she's only 5!! DS is a huge crybaby. He doesnt speak well at all so he screeches and cries way too much! I am either loving them to death or ready to send them to a new family! There's no in between with my kids. They are either angels or devils.
I understand the snapping thing. Did that the other night on the way home from Costco. Got the girls McD's and a treat from Costco and still got "we never get anything fun. I am board." I lost it. Started saying how many lucky things she has: private school, swim lessons, trip to Disney, two parents that love her. I realized I crossed the line on the parent comment. DD6 started to cry and then DD 16 mos lost it. WE got home and they got big hugs. DD says I love you Mom and I know you do nice things for me. Ouch!
Rest of the night went much better. Oh how I wish I could control it. I've been thru therapy before for relationship issues with DH. We've grown up together. Started dating at 16, now we're 32. Therapy helped with general communication. I just need to put some of that understanding towards the girls.
Hope the hair cut felt good. I am in need of one as well I've grown my hair out for Locks of Love. I am getting sick of brushing it out. I think I can safely cut off 14 inches without looking like a guy
Off to relax and watch Lipstick Jungle. Read the book and fell in love with it.
Mine has sooo become this way, too! She is either the most loving, sweet child, coming home from school and making snacks for both of us and bringing me my snack to my office. Then telling me to call her if I need anything!
Then there is the "other" child - the spoiled brat who disagrees with everything I say! So I have become two people too. The loving mother, or the mean ole mom. Arrrgggghhh!
The haircut was wonderful! DD finally agreed to take about 3-4 inches off so it just brushes her shoulders. It looks so much healthier now, and very cute! I went even shorter than before - I'm shooting for the pixie cut if I can ever get these last 12 lbs off and my face will thin out a bit!!!
Drunken posting -- woo hoo, I'm in.
You do realize that I'm 6 hours behind the East Coast, so I'll probably still be at work when you guys start...
Count me in!!! I've got my new martini glasses and my new shaker all ready to go!
What time? Keahi, just mix a little vodka in a thermos, they'll never know!
I heard about that pill. (for smoking) one person it work for and the other didn't. Might look into..soon.
It was a bad year...but I have grown from it....Only thing is everyone thinks I should take care of them...I said, who is going to take care of me...you guys will be dead...
I am 43, yikes, I am getting to old take care of them...I take care of our mom...thats enough for me.
The pill my doctor prescribed was Chantix. I had heard mixed reviews, and some said it made them sick, etc. So I went into it with a positive attitude, and it was truly a "miracle" drug for me! As long as you drink LOTS of water, the stomach upset should be minimal for the first couple of weeks. And take it on schedule. I was fine the first week I quit, but the second week I was really craving, and "snuck" 2 or 3 from DH - but that was it and I've been smoke free now for 9 weeks. Yes, I've gained some weight, and my moods have been really weird. But it's finally starting to get somewhat back to normal. Just prepare your family for the nutty moods. I was seriously a "donkey on the edge" for about a month!!!! I had a friend who tried Chantix and because it upset her tummy, she cut back to 1/2 a pill and wondered why it wouldn't work! And because she was moody and gained 1/2 lb the first week (like you can tell that quickly!) she decided she'll just keep smoking! That really irritated me - I found it to be terribly selfish that she'd rather keep smoking that gain a few pounds. She has two beautiful children, too! That's why I quit. For Ally.
So sorry for all of your stress - that sounds awful! But I am actually LESS stressed now that I don't worry about my health like I used to - I obsessed about it because I knew I shouldn't be smoking! Now if I could just start to obsess about not overeating!
Wine, good. Lost, good. Where did Michael come from
P.S. Okay, everyone, I'm "Pre-trippin" - this is my shameless promotion of my own PTR!!!
Have you posted your PTR yet? I look forward to reading it!
Lost has me so, well, er.... lost!!!! As always! Did Michael actually recognize Sahid and Desmond? I know they recognized him, but I couldn't tell by his reaction? Was he allied with Ben at one point? I don't remember that. As for Jin, I was so lost there, too - I thought the panda was for his baby, was that supposed to be BEFORE they ended up on the island? So far the "Oceanic 6" are who? Hurley, Sun, Jack, Kate, and Sahid, right? Room for one more.... please let it be shirtless Sawyer, please let it be shirtless Sawyer, please let it be shirtless Sawyer!
Are we really doing this tonite? I'm in too - we just need to agree on a time. If you started already, I'll just jump on!
Ooh - Lost was soooo good last nite! Were you not sobbing about Jin? Don't think he's really dead, BTW. I'm thinking he was left on the island and the surviving six are all lying about it. As for Michael, it was rumored that he was going to be Ben's spy on the boat - I don't trust him! The bigger question now is -- Where's Walt?
OK, if y'all don't tell me what time I'll just start now!
I may try a flirtini with the X-Fusion tonight! I mean, since I got my new martini glasses it only makes sense, right?
Do you guys get together to chat? In the chat rooms? or on here?
What time? May I join? I really don't do nothing on Friday night except drive my kids around.
...
No chat room, just here on the boards, but because everyone is on at the same time, it goes pretty quick, almost like chatting! Come join us!
PHones were down at work all day yesterday, so I did nothing. Still down today - our office is based out of Chattanooga, TN, and all of us that work from home log into the remote server. So people call Chattanooga and they get me in Florida! I love it! The server crashed so the new one is supposed to be installed today.
I have someone coming out the afternoon to install tinting on our family room windows. It's a 2 story room, and I noticed yesterday that the sun was coming in the upper windows and in Florida that means faded paint, etc. And I think I found a painter who gave me a good price to paint that room, plus the staircase. Now if I can just get them out here ASAP. I'm tired of waiting with these boring beige walls!
I'll check back later - But I have one word for you - TGIF!!!!!!
That did sound like a crappy year!
So, it up to me take care of them and I had to talk to the doctors and so on..(because stay at home mom) Plus, I was planning a huge 80th party for my mom (I come from a family of 10) and my DH back went out that week when everyone was coming into town. DH was on workmen cop for 5 months and had surgry. That was bad year. (Only thing good about it we went to WDW)Thats how I end up smoking
), so no drinks for me until I get back around 8-8:30 (ET). If you started already, I'll just jump on!
. I will definitely try! If I can kick him off I will just keep checking in to see who is here ....... I get so confused with the time change and time zones but I will shoot for 9:00 central...is that right? What time will it be by all of you? You guys all need to get a weather ticker like mine so I know what time it is by you! I can try it out for you if you want. Just PM me. I mainly need your exact city to try it out.
