Mission Alpha Beta 2

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'm heading into uncharted territory, Man territory. I need to finish shopping for the kids, the mom, and the DH. I never shop this late! All the men are out. Wish me luck!
I'll be undercover for the rest of the day, if you don't hear from me by tonight, send out a re-con team. Commander PrincessNancy96, you know what to do. Send in the RI unit, they are the closest.

Commander Buffy Out!

You guys crack me up! Re Con! Bwahahahahahaha. I love having a place where other people "get" all the little Disneyisms!

Good luck Buffy! I had my own mission this morning to finalize a bunch of small things and I was successful! The force *was* with me!

Good luck, Commander Buffy.

I am done scouting here in TN, well, except for DH's family...and I just don't care!!!!!

Boy, that sounds bad, but he really doesn't care either!

I'm back and as a matter of fact I do have a tooth missing, LOL it never grew in with an adult tooth. HEHE Are you spying in me??? However I am getting it fixed this year!!

The butt ugly tree however is not my fault! The people who lived here before us planted a pine tree but decided to turn it into a topiary. UUUMM bad idea!

And it's not the middle of nowhere CT it's Blink and ya miss it CT!

RE-CON status update:

The kids are done!!! I got 1 thing for my mom, ACMoore had a really cool scrap bag for 50% off!! And I picked up a few small things for DH. He is so hard to shop for. He loves classic minis so all the books he wants are either out of print or need to be bought in the UK so they wouldn't get here in time. I'm going to shop through Borders.com tonight and see if I can get some stuff to do in store pick up tomorrow. Oh yeah I need to make a Harry and Davids basket for MIL too, but that's easy!

the mission was a success!! Over and out......

P.S. no offense to anyone but man Tuesday is Senior Citizen day, OY!!! Is all I can say....

 

[ddavis860]

Glad you made it OK Buffy...

I did some recon at the mall today too...Macy's was a zoo, but I got what I wanted with little interference from the enemy shoppers. Then went to Boscovs and got the slipper socks...in PURPLE...that I needed...and the belt that DS18 needs so his pants stop falling down. So that was a good mission too.

Tomorrow I get to do the food recon for the troops for the holiday meals and snacks. And more wrapping, and then I'm done

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Glad your back Commander Buffy.. I got booted from my post by DH who took over my computer for his own mission... I did some shopping today too. DH done.. 4 of the 5 kids are done..actually only missing 1 thing for DD... but I can pick it up tomorrow.. it's and I-tunes g.cert for her mp3 player... Let's see.. I got at least 3 things that the kids just wanted to have...so I'm hoping for rave reviews from the natives on Monday morning...
Okay, next mission will be coming up this Saturday... I won't have access to the computer but have to go to the MIL and SIL from hell.. so anyone have good advice?? These people even make me uncomfortable in my own home.. My kids (well, DH too but he'd be upset if he knew...) and my stepsons have already been strategic planning online (they IM each other constantly)...on how we can leave early..

HHMM eat something with fish or nuts a pretend you're having an allergic reaction???
UUUMM Is it at your house? If not I could call you and say your house is on fire?
If the kids want out badly too, have someone fall or get sick those both work well.

Let's see. Oh I know I'll call, you'll say yep, uh huh, aye, aye Commander and tell DH an important mission came up and you are needed back at base ASAP.

Nope, it's not at my house.. can you call my cell phone and let me know me know we have a mission!!!! DH knows how important the DIS is to me... He wouldn't hear of me not being able to help my swapaholics!!!
I'm sure the kids will have a plan set up and down to the minute... the 2 hour drive will allow them to plot and scheme the entire way... I better pay close attention just incase we need their tactics for a later re-con mission...

Nancy, I know how you feel. My MIL makes me miserable. I have never known how to deal with her and she, frankly, hates me. She ignores my kids, or yells at them, unless she can countermand something I say to make me look bad...horrible situation. Fortunately, after the wedding debacle this summer, DH has had enough. He said he really doesn't care if he sees them again. We are just through trying. If they want to come here, fine, but we are done making special efforts. He told me he feels closer to my family anyway. Sad, but true.

I will call you! We are having one of the family things Saturday - I have true loons in my family and we can generate some type of emergency (there is going to be a police officer present!)

 

[party of 3]

glad you did ok buffy!

can someone call me on sunday night at my sil & bil's???? they just don't get it! i can't do fake and phony. it's just not me.my mil and fil act like they hung the moon, and as for dh, ds and moi, well can we say "black sheep"?!yuck! it's just such a drag. my fil never even says a word to me the whole time we are there. not hi, drop dead, thanks for the gifts, nada. and worst than that, nothing to my son either. REALLY. it's his one and ONLY grandchild. and he's just such a good boy too. very polite, very sweet (not that i'm bias) but he really is.
so get the cell phones ready, 'cause i might need the troops to call me for help and support.

Wow! Our DHs families must be related.. OH, that is right.. he is from IN isn't he???? Where about again? I'm telling you.. My MIL and SILs do the same thing.. I have one that I get along with well (SIL)..but she has 3 kids and runs like I do so when we get together it's usually for an activity that we can meet at to catch up and than we don't see each other for months and live 40 minutes apart... Mike just decide to give this a shot again after his hospital stay...and just trying to be a family again.. he said this would be a deciding factor...

So, everyone have your cell phones ready...there seems to be a lot of us in "in-law OUTLAW" country that will need to be helped!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay all, I have 1000 anytime minutes to use up, so PM me your cell phone numbers, date and time to call. Do you need; water main break, gas line leaks. power outages, lost dogs wandering? Just let me know so I can remind you on the phone as all your minds will worse than cottage cheese at that point when I call.

I am so lucky. I love my in laws. Now, when MY parents come to stay, that is a whole 'nother story. I am a wreck weeks before and a mess weeks after. Darn good thing they only come to visit twice a year. That is why I live on this side of Ohio and they are wwwaaayyy over in upstate NY.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

PMing cell number.... I'll think of a good excuse.. I do like the lost dog...but unfortunately you'll have to change it to our cat!

 

[maria34a]

Wow it's so good to hear that I am not the only one who has dysfunction in their family's!!!! Anyone want to call me???? LOL!!! I am going to be "Stuck" at my sisters house with my family until my boyfriend shows up at 3pm!!!! YIKES!!!! Perhaps I can just put them off until 2:54?????

I wouldn't mind giving some of you guys a call!!!! You know the EVIL Maria isn't afraid to call anyone, anytime, anyplace... Hee! Hee! Hee!
