PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 21

[Briarmom]

I cannot leave the windows nekkid. The lack of color on the walls is already making me sad.

Any ideas for curtains? Any websites?

Ugh!!!! You are not supposed to put stress and pressure on a pregnant lady!!!!!!!!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

My front windows are also nekkid...I have a huge bay window and I hated to cover it up.

We figure the neighbors can get a good show.

Do you walk around your house nekkid like you enjoy doing alone in hotels?


Who's stressing you Ash?

Yes....but I stay upstairs. I actually have to start putting on a robe or something. DS sometimes starts grabbing for things.

Just a reminder that the last time this group discussed curtains many, many points were issued!!!

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Bomb, I have no idea about drapes, I have miniblinds. And they cost a small fortune.

Evidently my dad thinks I can do anything and he was talking to his neighbor's sister that I do webpages and so she said that they needed one for their golf community. So when I went to talk with them they were like we're going to hire you but you have to put this dvd that we have on the site. I have no idea how to do that. I've never done anything like that before and I don't even know where to begin and I don't have the proper software for stuff like that. So now my mom is callling me every day to see if I've got it "figured out" yet and says that she's avoiding her neighbor and is embarassed because of it. WTH am I supposed to do about it???

We have blinds on the front of the house (I just learned the word in German and I forgot it...plus I don't know it in any other language)

But the 'pullies' for them are on the inside. Like I said, I can't do without drapes right now. We don't have carpet, so don't let your mind go in the gutter.

Who me? Okay I admit I almost posted something along those lines.

Those are some blinds. Hang some sheets over the windows.

nice house !!
when we first married and got our own place money was so tight it squeeked when we open the wallet.....I bought sheets at the dollar store and used them as curtains....no shame its all I could do at the time.

 

[ashjohnson80]

oh and if you scream all of the time when you're pregnant is the baby going to come out all damaged?

 

[sumrmist]

ok gonna sit outside for a few before I start picking up kidlets...catch everyone later

 

[Caropooh]

I'm sleepy!!!

so am I, I wonder if Janette took a nap for me like she said she would?

It's not a school holiday today or anything is it? the phone just rang and i saw my nephew's number on it, but i didn't get to it in time. and he should still be in school...

My girls are out of school today and next Friday for in-service days. That doesn't help you though!
Are religious holidays big in Maryland, Tig? I've never heard of not getting homework in a public school because of that? Very weird.

Oh I have been there. It is just really hard when you are not 'investing' in what you buy. The curtains I buy for here are not going to fit in our next house. Or 3 houses from now. That is how the military works. I have a rubbermaid full of curtains from Alaska, in Arizona I made a ton of curtains, but we sold our house and the curtains went with it (none would work here, BTW), in Egypt we lived in a pre-furnished place...it sucks to spend hundreds on stuff that will just sit.

I think I screamed a lot more when I was preg with dd. She is all good.

I did NOT get to take a nap, but I was loopy for a bit, does that count?

And the Jewish holidays are a big deal in MD...didn't someone say something about that?

So, being as together as I usually am, I hadn't turned in my awards sheet for the honor roll/perfect attendance/citizenship ribbons and pencils they get with their report cards until yesterday afternoon, so I had to take the kids with me from PE down to get the things.

I'm walking past the nurse's office with my class and she bursts out of her office shouting Thing 2's name.......now his name is not THAT unusual, but it so happens he is the only one in the school, but I thought perhaps I had missed an older one, but she looks straight at me and says, "Did you see your son? I don't know where he went, and I need to make sure the bleeding is stopped."

Um, HELLO????????????

First, you say to a mother you've lost her 5 year old, then you mention blood??????

No, no, no, not a good way to handle that AT ALL.

Fortunately, the bigger the crisis, the calmer I get, so I immediately became VERY calm, switched right into my crisis mode, got my kids back from the water fountains and in their line, and then turned to deal with the situation. Just as I was saying, "Now, explain to me what you are talking about, and where is my son?", Thing 2's teacher walked up with him, his shirt covered in bloodstains and said, "He had a bloody nose."

What a relief! He gets those rarely in the day, more often in the night. Dh was q-tipping him this morning, and I knew that was the wrong thing to do, but it was already done when I saw, and would've meant a battle, so I didn't say anything.

I could just murder the nurse.
