PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 22

[Caropooh]

Paige, some men just dont see how they treat the people around them. It is NO excuse, they are supposed to be the protectors etc, and for him to be like that to the kids is just wrong !

Teo, that is so true. I happen to know someone exactly like that. Talking to them doesn't help either, they just get mad at you.

SHUG, that crack in the windshield!

What are you talking about?

someone do my adrs for me

I think MM just aquired an Andy of her own!

You need to have a dial-up service. There are free ones out there (at least for the first month), but then you need to remember to cancel it. Ron's not going to be happy if I go that route, but if I don't I'll be without internet for the week when we're down there and then over a week when I go down in early Dec. I might have withdrawal issues.

I have AOL, someone just needs to load AOL onto their computer.

Hi....brutal day, I'm not caught up. I'll go read back now to wee if there's anything I needed to know.

Did you need to go potty Lara?

Why have we been so slow around here fo a few days?? What's going on? Are you people getting REAL LIVES??!

No I have been working on a project.

4's, do you guys do early release on Wednesdays, too? It's been that way here for a long time, but every time I tell someone that they act like I'm nuts. I mean, I know I'm nuts, but I'm fairly certain that school lets out an hour early on Wednesdays. If not then my son has been pulling the ultimate scam on me for the last 10 years. I'm rambling. Gotta drink more coffee. Coffee coffee coffee

Yep, early release on Wednesdays. Been that way for years now. I wish they'd move it to Fridays!

DD's school (Belgian) gets out at noon every Wednesday.

It is Parent Teacher Conference days today and tomorrow for ds. We had ours at 8 am. Then they have school on Friday until 1. Then no school until Nov 5. Yeah...it's going to be like that for most of the year.

That is interesting, not something we do here. We only have early release for parent/teacher conferences, some for end of marking period and the last three days of school , about 12 days a year.

No, MM, he doesn't need counseling, there's nothing wrong with him, there's only something wrong with me. These are his words when I try to talk to him about counseling.

I used to think he pushed away because of the illness, but he is doing very well now, the damage has stopped despite their predictions, and he is functioning well.

And then, I could get into a whole discussion, at what point do I decide sacrificing the well being of 3 people for 1 is not worth it?

This is so not easy. I hope people realize. I've been dealing with these illness issues since diagnosis over 5 years ago.

Then if you discount all of that, there's that other HUGE issue that just can't be ignored.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Good morning...barely.

I have AOL, someone just needs to load AOL onto their computer.

Paige, you vent all you want to...you most certainly have a good reason. He's being a butthead talking to the kids that way.

Kelly, I hope it works out with your job.

Caro, any word on how you mom is doing this morning?

I woke with a migraine and just took my Maxalt. I slept in even though I went to bed at a decent time.

See I look at it by staying, you ar sacrificing 3 people. You, Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Morning! Crazy ex-wives. Poor DH just got a lovely call out of the blue from the kid's mom with her ranting and raving about how she won't pick up DD and DS from the Port after our cruise (since we will have our MIL, it makes us all kinda squished with luggage, so we asked if she or her mom could do it. Oh and before she did agree). Hey fine if she couldn't but rant and rave? Also she said we better bring shampoo.

Yikes. And I need to call her to get the expiration dates of the kids' passports. Hold me.

ETA: Paige, You need to save yourself along with the kiddos. He is toxic. I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Shampoo Jas? WTH?

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Shampoo Jas? WTH?

I know! Nuts I tell ya!

 

[paigevz]

Yeah you BETTER bring shampoo. Ask her when you call for the expiration dates if she'd like you to bring toothpaste as well.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Yeah you BETTER bring shampoo. Ask her when you call for the expiration dates if she'd like you to bring toothpaste as well.

OMG that would be hysterical. I may just do that. I'll ask about shower gel (soap) as well.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Yay, my meds are helping my headache as we speak... Maybe I can get something accomplished today.

 

[paigevz]

Yay Tigs! I know just what you need to do too. ONE thing. Right?

Does anyone else think they just can't STAND waiting a week to see everyone????

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Yes I do need to do that, Paige. I need to wait until I know DH isn't going to walk in on me talking, though. Maybe after lunch when he heads back to his office.


I'm beyond excited to see everyone!

 

[Tiffer]

Yay Tigs! I know just what you need to do too. ONE thing. Right?

Have a good rest of the day Flurry!

Goodnight Froggy.

 

[snowwhitesmom]

Hullo and Bye Frog!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I wanna leave tomorrow

I don't because then it will be over even sooner. I'm having a really hard even thinking about the trip being over. My only saving grace is knowing that I'll be back down there the end of Nov with Lara and my sister, but obviously one person won't be there then, so I need to get my head on straight (hmmm, maybe not a good choice of words ) before I go so I don't fall apart after.

Hi Snowy! Bye Frog!

I took the girls to the lake instead of driving all the way to Ft Wilderness. They played in the little water park and on the playground, and we waded in the lake. Now they're pooped.


Paige, you deserve so much more respect than you get at home.
