May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 6

[figment52]

Well some people worry about their underpants being clean and fresh in case of an accident. I worry about my house. What would my family think if they had to come to my house right now and sort through my belongings? Crazy sounding I know but my house being clean makes me happy.

Plus it is so much easier to maintain a clean house then having to spend hours doing a deep clean on a dirty house. Which is why it may sound nuts my kids clean their rooms every night, the fact is they are never really "dirty" so it is not a big deal and not a fight between them and I.

So for me keeping the house clean is the easy way out.

I totally agree with you and applaud you for being able to maintain it. I hate the idea of anyone dropping by and seeing my messy house. At the same time, I need to live in my house so it can't be picture perfect all the time. It is a fine line. It's easy to set the timer for 15-20 minutes everyday and picked up the house during that time.

Now time to get back to and .

Tough night here in DC. I was so excited to finally get to see my girls preform in Footloose tonight. It is the 4th of 6 shows. Gretchen made me feel bad for not coming to the first 3 shows.

Well frank has taken another bad turn with 104 fever and high blood pressure. They decided they wanted to run a battery of tests on him tonight and they thought it best if a family member be here at the hospital with him.
Well DH just can't be here cause he is the director and his brother said he is just to busy cleaning tonight (?????) So it looks like me.

My girls are just going to kill me. There are two shows tomorrow... But I really wanted to go tonight.

What a tough position for you to be in Lisa. You know what you have to do and you'll get it done. It's hard to do one thing when your heart is set on doing something else. At least you still have tomorrow to see the show. And it's not fair for Gretchen to make you feel bad because you haven't seen the show yet. She knows that her grandfather is sick and that you must be there to care for him first. It's got to be so hard on the littlest one since this has been going on for so long. Hugs to you Lisa and prayers for some strength for you. Don't you wish you could just clone yourself to get through this.

OMG, you are a much better mom than me. Can you come teach my kids?
Lisa

Not a better mom just ocd on a few things The wall units my kids I have in my kids room I tell everyone to get them if they can! They work wonders. My four year old thinks cleaning is FUN. It makes cleaning seem less like work and not as hard as the kids think about it one bucket at a time instead of a whole room of mess. I will post a few pictures of the kids wall units so you can see what I mean in a minute.

Tell the girls to "break a leg" tomorrow.

Not Monica but on that group and yup 8am. Since we are on vacation I can join you, when we get home I'll have to go back to my sleeping in routine. Funny Paul says he wants to sleep on vacation...hmmm might be because he takes the kids to school everyday....

Yay I have to get up at least 3 days a week at 5:30 AM for work, the rest of the days I go in later, I have no problem getting up for work, but otherwise my body tells me I should be sleeping in! I think the earlier time for this excursion might be best though because it will just get hotter as the day goes on. In any case, glad I'll have some dissers to keep me company

Do you all realise? It is.

70
days today!!!

Does anyone else think the jumping smilies look like yoyos

Hi

Do you have Marks and Spencer in your area? Just wonder because some worldwide have it.

I saw one in Singapore and it was very expensive than my home

Didn't see one in Australia, not sure about Amercia?

We used to have a M&S at the local mall, it has been gone for about 8 years now. Use to love the food section and, all kinds of treats that my GrandD loved.

Pj

We had one here as well, but it has been closed for about 20 yrs. I used to love their wine gums! I bought my DD her 1st kilt from there too.

Hi Kathe - so glad you got that OA time! It's a party! We'll all take turns holding hands and pushing the other off the platform.

This will be so much fun..............I think

Hubby went in yesterday and got his first Hep A&B combo shot and his tetanus booster. I didn't realize that you have to get a series of three shots for Hepatitis. You get one, another a month later, and the last 6 months after the original.

We will be able to get two shots in before the cruise, which the doctor seemed to think was great. He even gave my husband a Rx for Cipro (unasked). Do you think we should have it filled? Should we get one filled for both of us?

We will be stumbling around in the dark in Acapulco on the Petrogylph excursion. It is scheduled for 5 to 9 pm. We are also hiking in the Sierra Madres in PV. I don't know what we are thinking! I guess I better keep exercising otherwise somebody is going to have to carry me off the mountains!

-- Kathy

LOL, I know how you feel Kathy. I think somehow I must be thinking, well, I'm in another country so I must be in another body! I'm doing the Outdoor Adventure and Parasailing, both things I thought I'd never do.....I was just waiting until I was "older" and out of shape I guess So I have made a commitment to myself to lose 10 lbs and get back in shape before this cruise...we all have to have a dream, right? I just went and got the first in the series of 3 Hep shots last week. My Dr. also said 2 would be enough before the cruise, the 3rd is more of a booster.

Thanks Deb. I know all of this. Right now I just need to do what I must do. I can't let my mom hating me or Gretchen being disappointed in me get me down.

I try really hard not to be mad at Don's brother. His wife does not like Frank or the "burden" he is. So Doug (Don's brother) does not help much. But their family has had such a bad time dealing with cancer,a child with autisism and a deaf child.

 

[disneylover5]

While Ihave been reading about all the excirsions everyone is doing... I just want to nothing...just nothing at all. I guess daniel and I will find a beach to go to at each location... And just chill. Sounds wonderful right about now!

You're a better person than I am! I would be telling BIL to get his a_s to the hospital so that I could see my girls perform.

For all of those in the lifebaots with me, I thought you would like to see our accomodations -

Looks pretty plush to me!

Oh I don't know... it's the color... can't we redecorate???? It's so....yellow....

That is MICKEY YELLOW.
DCL had to get special permission from the Coast Guard (or some power-that-is) to not use the normal life boat color. So we are SPECIAL!!

And think of all the fresh air we will get. A couple of posts back someone said they got their room # last week. Seems like a lot of wasted time skipping from one date to another to assign rooms.

Now those assigned didn't get upgrades? My theory maybe since we are not assigned right away its because we are getting an upgrade...wishful thinking

Well I'm hoping for the cat 4 that keeps appearing. It sure would be better than my cat 11.

[CameronsDad]

Ok....question from my DS....any of the boys like pok'e'mon and trade cards or play the game...if so any one of them bringing their cards on the trip? He trades cards with one of his friends for hours but hasn't played the game yet and would love to learn and have someone to play with.

Hi,
My son (10) is sitting right here with me. He plays both Pokeman and Yu-gi-oh. He would be open to playing and/or teaching the game, he is considered intermediate. He would be open to some trading. And he will be bringing his cards along.

Exactly. You understand your priorities for tonight. Tomorrow may be a better day. Let's hope so.

I try really hard not to be mad at Don's brother. His wife does not like Frank or the "burden" he is. So Doug (Don's brother) does not help much. But their family has had such a bad time dealing with cancer,a child with autisism and a deaf child.

I have the same thing with Ray's daughter. I take care of him, attend to his needs, take him to the moseleum every week, pay for all of his expenses at Mrs. Bush, pay part of his monthly bill at Mrs. Bush, pay for his monthly pharmaceutical bill, take him to his doctors appointments, eye care, hearing aid appointments, whatever he needs......he's my step dad, but he's her father. The last time she saw him was about 4 years ago. He talks to her on the phone when he asks to call her at Mrs. Bush.....and I pay for it. No one came from his side of the family to Mom's funeral services. The only ones who are there for him are mom's family, not his own. It's very sad. But I promised my mom I would always take care of him and I do.

The bottom line is that we do what we must because we know that it's the right thing to do. There's no question, we just do it and we know it's right and we can sleep easily at night.
