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

[paigevz]

Morning!


Lara, some things can slide. You are going to drive yourself bonkers trying to accomplish so much.

Um, hello............physician heal thyself..................

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Um, hello............physician heal thyself..................

Uh, you should see my house. PLENTY of things slide and I'm a SAHM with all her kids in school. No baths every night for Jake, no home cooked meal every night, kitchen has papers all over the place, my bedroom is a disaster, etc, etc. I'm not working an 11 hour day and then coming home to hours more work.

I think I need a shower. You have to understand...I feel like such a failure for not being able to get things together. I can't find the motivation to get done what I need to, much less what I should be doing.

I'm sorry, I was trying to say I think you do a lot, between your errands, your volunteering, the kids' things, your doctor appointments, keeping the house and then your constant pain, I mean.....you hardly take any time to deal with that, and that in itself would be taking up hours of anyone else's time.

 

[Tiffer]

Don't be so hard on yourself T.

Take it one step at a time. Start the 15 minute thing and MAKE yourself do at least two 15 minute sessions a day to start then work your way up. I'll buy you a maragrita in Epcot!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Thanks Paige, Tiff, and Merle--I wasn't trying to start a whining session. Yes you're right Merle that I need to get back to using the timer. I'm finally back to writing a list of things I'm doing that day even if I don't get the things done on the list.

Back from the grocery store and everything is put away even . I am queen of the grocery store...I dominate. Those other poor women take hours and Im in and out in less than 30 and I only spent 121.00 for two weeks groceries. I plan well and shop a cheap store.

Paige I will make sure you get a PM when I hear about Angel.

Tig, I only have the 4 yo home with me yet my house is messy and I dont accomplish near what you do with volunteering etc...dont beat yourself up about it. If I spend more than an hour on my house a day its amazing and then I hurt so bad the next morning I can barely walk to fix the kids breakfast. I do what has to be done and the rest slides.

Merle....Im glad you are back now I can go pee.

Lara, you need to sit down take a deep breath and say fagged about it. Do not wear yourself so thin than there is no time to relax.

 

[sumrmist]

whos gonna drink a margarita for me at epcot? Shug said she would but Im a two drink girl.....Im taking volunteers...only thing is when you drink it you have to smack your lips and say my name

OK, I have to ask. I am starting to plan our meals weekly so I can grocery shop on Wednesdays after I pick up dd from school (Belgian schools get out at noon on Wed). So, how do you get enough produce that lasts for 2 weeks? I can't even do that for one week.

 

[sumrmist]

I buy from a fruitstand guy...and the 120 doesnt include much produce. I use a lot of frozen veggies.

Gotcha.
DD has been asking for fruit today and yesterday. I gave her the last of our grapes yesterday, and today I told her she'd have to wait until tomorrow. I hope I get better at this.

Hey wait. We have a whole apple tree in the back yard! She picked a ton the other day...how could I forget that?

Everyone is welcome here.
We are not a jealous kind of group.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

As opposed to half a tree? Which is basically what we have since we have a couple of little trees that are barely producing yet.

birdiesunshine, everyone is welcome, nothing is off-topic, and personal greetings are most certainly encouraged.

Thanks teo. I know that eventually I'll be doing more things, but it's hard to be patient. I'd love to smack my lips and call your name.

 

[paigevz]

Hello BS!

Hmm, too early to play with the new girl???...........Nah........

You don't offend easily do you? It's all in fun!

Nope, we won't talk behind your back wither..unless you are donkey.

Oh and everyone will claim to be the nice one, but Snowy really is and I am really NOT!

Reminds me of the time <<WARNING: HAVE POSTED THIS STORY BEFORE>>

Mom was in 50's Prime Time with us, (me, Jenna & Ex-dh #2) and when she oredred soffee with regular milk, the cousin responded "as opposed to irregular milk"?

Mom was flaming . Didn't realize they are supposed to be snarky.

 

[sumrmist]

one thing is for sure...this thread is not for the weak of heart when it comes to joking

Hiya birdiesunshine..I will call you birdie because BS is like crap and we already have crappy and dooty Welcome to the thread.

 

[sumrmist]

I posted a bare it store at the CH on MF's thread....
Im not nice either..Im the evil one

Briar...is fresh produce terribly expensive there or do they have native things that are cheap? I cant imagine how strong you are to move around and always make a life for your family. kudos to you ! Doing what you do are why I didnt marry the one I should have. I knew I wasnt strong enough to be a Navy wife.
