Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts - We're still here!

[jezaduck24]

Then I go in the kitchen, dishes stacked up in the sink, dishwasher clean but not emptied....

ooooh grrrr! That happens ALL the time here and it's sort of one of Chris' 'chores'. It's not that way now because I had a little fit for myself yesterday when Em and I got home. I don't understand why it always has to come to me throwing a hissy to get anything done.

 

[CRdisMom]

i do believe that we are all in the same place. I'm glad that we can vent. Imagine if we couldn't!

Then while dragging the big thing downstiars, I lost control and it fell, busting apart.

OH NO! Not the steam cleaner! I'm so sorry.

I've got the number for a cleaning lady - I just haven't called her yet cause I want the house clean when she comes to look at it. !!!!

I'm so the same way!

On a positive note, my old housekeeper use to tell me that your price is based on how dirty your house is that visit - not just on the size. They are scoping out what a slob you are and how much work they'll have to do each time.

Laura just reminded me on my TR that I forgot to tell you guys all about PF!

She bugged the mess out of me until we got together! Seriously!

She had texted me before we went asking for Tums - I thought it was Kara, so I felt bad I didn't get them to her sooner. (Only when Kara looked at me like I had 3 heads did I figure that one out).

So after 5000 texts and her NOT showing up in AK, we agreed to meet for a while at the pool. I got there, we ate, visited a bit, the kids played in the pool and that was that. I was so thankful not to have any big drama. I worried for nothing - it was actually fine.

When we were coming back from 1900 PF, they were walking in to the MK, so again we missed them. I think she expected me to follow them into MK, but then again she knows we are early morning, and they are late night.

So all in all, not too bad.

Well sounds like my day today too. I was suppose to work but wasn't feeling well and they didn't have a partner for me so I decided to go home. The house is so trashed I don't even know where to begin and I don't feel like I should have to do it all by myself.

Luca is going to be 2 tomorrow He was born 7:19pm 5/14 I can't believe it.

Mike is sitting here watching lost and I am planning our trip.

 

[soontobewed07]

Tessa Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy your day!

Kara- Hire someone and enjoy it never feel guilty!!!!

You are all very good mom's having bad days. We can't be the best everyday. I know I am not I feel guilty everyday I walk out the front door on my way to work. We will get thru it.

Now I am going to catch up on trip reports.

DD Emmie is 22 months and has yet to utter a word. While Chris had Ben at the pedi yesterday, I was with Emmie at a speech pathology eval. Turns out she is almost 1 year behind on speech sounds but is ahead of her peers on word recognition and understanding concepts. Just trying to remember Albert Einstein didn't speak until he was 4. Or something like that! So it's off to speech therapy for Miss Em...IF it's deemed 'medically necessary' by our insurance company. Gr...

Just get the Early Intervention before 3 years old b/c then it involves more red tape and the school system! We did EI with DS2 who was speech delayed and it turned out he could barely hear! He had many ear infections but once he got tubes, everything worked out fine.

 

[tttessa]

Tessa Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy your day!

Hiya - not till Friday I'm afraid - got to work today!

Happy birthday to Luca though!!!

I had a bit of a hissy fit myself , I find this morning that the shirts which I ironed yesterday got taken off the chair back (I thought he took them up to hang them ) and put in a pile under the fresh stuff to be done today - now it needs doing again.... aaaarrrrggggghhhhhhhh... oh well, nothing better to do - right girls??? Somedays I swear I'm turning into Marge Simpson....

I know what you are saying tessa. Tim does the same thing with his suits. Drives me nuts

I have been up for the last 45 min with katie having a complete meltdown. I'm a short order cook apprently.

 

[LydiaAch]

Ugh-DD4's well-child checkup today. Think it may involve shots too.

 

[soontobewed07]

Laura-I am feeling your pain. Yesterday Luca ran away from us in the store Home depot none the less and I was freaking out. So I finally found him and picked him up and went to the car. I didn't say anything to Mike or him just strapped Luca into his seat. I was ready to BLOW!!!

Mike is working a 24 today and I am ticked we were suppose to go to the aquarium for Luca's birthday and he FORGOT!!!! Well his truck has finally broken down so we are on the search for a second car. So guess who took the only car today? Yup that's right my darling husband.

Well off to make Pancakes for the birthday boy have a great day everyone!!!!

 

[karajeboo]

I attribute all this to the full moon this week.....

 

[karajeboo]

Oh, btw, I've got Ally all packed up for this weekend....

 

[tttessa]

Now Kara - is it just me or is that just creeeeeepy.... Don't know why, but in primary school we had to make masks on paper plates on sticks and one kid did one with a photo of himself with the eyes cut out and apparently I freaked out - I get that same feeling... shivers.... that and the full moon..... which we don't get in the UK till the 24th by the way - another difference.... never thought of that...

Oh I miss 2....it was easy-peasy. Ben is 3 1/2 and it seems like there is something every single day that turns into a struggle. He's been extra obstinate the past week and I'm hoping it just had to do with his being sick. Chris took him to the pedi yesterday and turns out he has pleurosis (?) which has been going around. Interesting sidebar: the pedi swabbed him for Influenza - a first. Anyway.... A new round of anti-biotics and home all week. And every time he misses pre-school for illness, it seems like it's back to square one with getting him to join in class activities.

DD Emmie is 22 months and has yet to utter a word. While Chris had Ben at the pedi yesterday, I was with Emmie at a speech pathology eval. Turns out she is almost 1 year behind on speech sounds but is ahead of her peers on word recognition and understanding concepts. Just trying to remember Albert Einstein didn't speak until he was 4.

I am looking for some new trip report action, ladies! You know who you are!

I hope everyone else's babes are on the mend soon...looks like something is going around.

have you had ears checked yet? My friend had an issue and it was the need for tubes - all the fluid made it hard for him to hear. He was 3.

Well sounds like my day today too. I was suppose to work but wasn't feeling well and they didn't have a partner for me so I decided to go home. The house is so trashed I don't even know where to begin and I don't feel like I should have to do it all by myself.

Luca is going to be 2 tomorrow He was born 7:19pm 5/14 I can't believe it. :

HOW WILD! Mia was born 3/14 at 7:19 PM! So off on the month, but the other stuff - how wild!
Anyway, I hope that Mr. Luca has a Fantastic 2nd Brithday!

Hiya - not till Friday I'm afraid - got to work today!

Happy birthday to Luca though!!!

Carlos does the same. I'm happily married but like to fuss to everyone. We have the I Love Lucy relationship here. I seriously would never divorce him, but I sure do like to fuss about him!

He also suffers from a bone in his leg. I tell him that bone leads to all sort of problems. Just like the clean laundry ending up in the dirty because he just assumes and wants to get it off the bed so he can flop.

Okay, so I'm time zone dumb - but I don't want to be late in wishing you a very happy, very special birthday across the pond.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESSA!


I'd just rather be a little early than a little late.

I know what you are saying tessa. Tim does the same thing with his suits. Drives me nuts

I have been up for the last 45 min with katie having a complete meltdown. I'm a short order cook apprently.

You mean we AREN'T suppose to be short order cooks daily?

Ugh-DD4's well-child checkup today. Think it may involve shots too.

Hum - ours didn't. They did check blood levels which was VERY traumatic for Nicolas.

Oh, btw, I've got Ally all packed up for this weekend....

I think I read that on your trip report that you guys were going to insert them into photos - just too stinking funny.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PF is on the phone. I will keep you posted.

 

[CRdisMom]

I laughed out loud once I saw the heads on sticks. I can't wait to see the pics from the weekend, vespecualyy you and. Cammie at the poly.

Okay fat fingers. I can't spell. Off to a warehouse sale--ever heard of title nine? They have the best running bras. Also great comfy clothes. Hoping to snag a deal while katie is at schoool.

 

[karajeboo]

So..... the move is now ON again! But get this. Jeff's boss called him late last night......

Def get someone to take over this sale even if we don't move to SC because they are looking at Jeff to take over THREE different sales as a regional VP!!!! It would be SC, Jax, and one they are looking to buy in MS.

BUT, I told Jeff if that is the case, then why can't we just stay here??? If this would be one of his sales, why couldn't we just live here? I'd rather do that than move back to SC.....

 

[karajeboo]

And how can I forget Bday wishes for Badookie!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCA!!!!!

 

[CRdisMom]

that would be a fantastic plan for all involved. VP is a great title.

Happy early birthday tessa!!!

Move No Move Move No Move Move No Move

I'm seriously dizzy. They have to stop this for crying out loud. Tell them I have a blood pressure problem and they have to stick to something.

But I'm with you - couldn't you stay put if he is over the 3? Best of all worlds maybe?

I had lunch with my BF today and we're trying to get on the weightloss bandwagon again. Gosh I so need to

Wish me luck - I'm sure I'll need it!
