PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 23

[1Prince2Princesses]

Got to find my jolly. Did you see it come through here?

Ask your mom where she put it, then demand it back.

 

[Tiffer]

Maybe you are spreading your jolly this way? Surprisgly, despite the moving, craziness and being turned down by various men...I am in a pretty good mood!

I got about halfway through the first page of that thread before I was bawling my eyes out. I had to walk away and vow to not open it again. My dad has been gone for 23 years, and I still miss him.

One thing that I do, is under bathroom sink(counter/cabinet)I keep a box there. When I find things I need for travel I put everything in that box. That way at last minute I am not running all over the place. I did buy small plastic bottles that were reusable for my shampoo/cond etc, and wash them out well when I get home. That alone saves some money. Those travel sizes can be costly.

I collect items in my closet so I don't have to do much running around. I want to repack my toiletries so I'll be pretty much ready for the next trip even though I don't know when it will be.

MM, I want to bring Jake for a long weekend before my AP expires. Any idea when I should go late this winter-early spring. I think my AP expires 4/23 and I want to avoid spring breaks.

Oh, the One More Day thread is a tear-jerker. And I've been very lucky not to lose many relatives (Grandpa and Great-Grandmas are the only ones) I really don't know who I'd pick. I'd have to pick a friend I think.
The ones who have lost kids on there are the ones that make me sob.

Me too. I can't even imagine losing a child.

She won't answer the phone so I can tell her I'm not coming home. I guess she'll figure it out when I don't show up. I told dh to bring them some lunch. She was talking about us not having anything for lunch today when she was looking in the fridge for sandwich stuff last night after dinner. Those people EAT!

Uh, and yet they're telling you how great it would be to get gastric?

 

[Tigger&Belle]

That's a bummer, Paige. At least you have her car so you won't have to wait around for a ride.

Hi Pixie and Tiffer. And everyone else, for that matter.

I couldn't figure out why I was so blue today, besides the gloomy weather and returning from WDW. I was ready to come home since I missed my kids a lot, but you all know how hard it is to get back into the routine. I just dawned on me that reading the "Who would spend "One More Day" with?" thread made me really miss my dad. Crazy to get sad after so many years, but I guess that's the way it works with emotions like that.

I have been avoiding that thread. Have enough dad/holiday issues going on in my head. I don't need any help.

I'll tell you something. SIL has dropped to 109 from 260 or so. BUT now she can't stop losing. Now they are trying to find ways to get her to gain weight. That can't be healthy.


I'm sorry for you guys missing family. It must be especially hard at this time of year.

I will not read that thread

I also accidentally opened the thread about a cat getting out of the house and getting hit by a car. I always avoid that sort of thread because I then can't get it out of my head, but I didn't know that's what it was based on the title.

I'm done with lunch and need to do my chores.

That is sounding like a thread I better not read. I'd be bawling in a second. I would love to have one last converstion with my Mom. I had no idea that when I walked out of the room to talk to the doctor that that was going to be the last time I saw my Mom awake. I never really got to tell her I love her and thanks for everything she ever did for me and that I was sorry for things I did and ways i treated her. Shoot, now I'm crying. I told her things when she was sedated and when my sister and I saw her in the funeral home, but it's not the same. And I'd like to hug her one last time. When I'm I ever going to get over this.

As much as I'd love to weigh 109, I wouldn't want it to be that way.

Hugs to all my peeps.

I'm not going anywhere NEAR that thread...

I'm sitting here eating my favorite fast lunch.

I have my gift for the exchange, now I just have to figure out how to get it in the mail.

 

[Briarmom]

I'm sitting here eating my favorite fast lunch.

Well, what is it?

 

[bigmerle1966]

Have I asked you my question on this?
OK, I love clothes, but I just don't have that many. If I packed a month in advance I'd not have anything to wear in real life. Plus the wrinkles! OK, I guess if I were going right now, I could pack my shorts a month in advance (or for that matter, when I go in April I can pack my shorts a month in advance...and my tank tops and swimsuits...). Is this what you do? Pack your summery clothes?

I usually start throwing things in the suitcase for the trip that I won't have need of until then. In the colder months I will pack the warm weather clothes. I always have my toiletries ready to go, I just make sure to fill things when needed. And I don't worry about ironing, most of my clothes are washed and fluff dried, no ironing needed.

Oh, hon, it will take some time before it's not so raw. Give yourself that time. And even years later certain times of the year can be harder. Eventually it will be easier, though, but getting to that time will take awhile. You know where I'm at if you ever want to talk. Or cry.

Oh, I don't iron either. Just after being in the suitcase for a month it might look a little wrinkley.

The kids have to go to school tomorrow. I am going out of my mind.

 

[paigevz]

Great. The bottle of migranal I had at school is empty. By the time staff meeting is over and I get home, it will be raging. Ugh. What a Monday. My difficult children are being, well, difficult.

OKAY! That's enough. Jolly time.

 

[kaw1218]

Afternoon all!

Hi Muppet.

What the heck is this smiley for? Who uses that barf-cutesy thing?
