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

[kaw1218]

Ok, just read back.
If I had any jolly, I would share.

And I am staying FAR away from that one last day thread.

Well, I do have quite a bit of summer clothes, and when I worked that was a totally separate wardrobe, so packing ahead for Disney is not a big deal.

The reason for all the ironing is my crazy life. We do all our laundry at the country house, and bring it back here in duffel bags. Everything gets very wrinkled. If I could just hang the clothes up when they came out of the dryer I'm sure most of it would never need ironing.

I just glanced over at the couch I have to wait for Dh to come home and help me decide what to pack, poor man!

Hi Muppet.

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

I can't stand that smilie!!! I thought I was the only one that thought that.

I love you.

Summer clothes are so hard to find. I KNOW none of my peeps have anything older than 3 years of age that they'd wear, so you must have done a lot of shopping these last couple of summers. (please, just agree with me and let me live in my own world. LIE TO ME. thanx.)

I had someone tell me, to pack tissue in between the clothes so they do not wrinkle. I have not done this, but I know ppl that swear by it

Sorry I just disappeared..office drama. High school revisited.

Anyway..I will NOT go near that thread.

 

[MemoryMakers2669]

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.

Well the worst weeks are the one before and the one after Easter. If you could go in mid April, I think you would be OK! The later the better.

I hate drama at work, I think someone the high-school drama follows some through their adult lives

Hi I made it home alive! Shug is really a fabulous driver! She didn't scare me once--which is more than she can say about me

We had a nice time, well other than me at the dentist. Small infection in my back gums that had to have antibiotics inserted or something. Still quite sore. Do me a favor-- Go floss your teeth. That was really a miserable appointment.

But after we had lunch and IHOP was slower than molassas in Jan. No problems cause we were just talking and talking. Hard to believe, I know.

I am happy to report that Shug seems to be doing just great! She has found something that I completely forgot existed--A LIFE! Apparently if you actually walk away from these keyboards and screens and spend time with your animals and the humans in your life and read books and and go out and exercise and get to sleep on time and all that other stuff we used to do about 15 years ago before high speed internet came along, it is good for you and rather fulfilling. It can even make you, dare I say it? JOLLY!

I have decided to just take her word it!

Oh, and on the way home I asked her take me through the drive through at Starbucks so I could get a Venti Peppermint Mocha. So I am feeling really Jolly! Well a bit shaky from the caffeine, but definitely jolly!

I use sometimes when I talk about my cutie-patootie little girls.

I just heard from my sister. She's almost there.... fully dilated, but her water hasn't broken, and the doc said he'll be back in about 2 hours to break it and deliver the baby, because he's going to do a c-section. You can imagine she's not happy about that. I'd be tempted to send someone out for a chopstick and do it myself.

I'm headed out for a bit... hopefully next time I check in, it will be with baby pics!

Thanks for lying. I really really appreciate it.

Yes. April. 18th or so.

The wine is open!

Hey! I can finally get points with Bomb!! Hand to God-- all my summer AND winter clothes are 3 years old or less!















(I've gained so much weight nothing fits from over 3 years ago!)

 

[Tigger&Belle]

For sure, Debbie.

Don't some kids have off in April for spring break even when Easter is in March? Our spring breaks are always tied to Easter. When I was growing up we always had the 3rd week of March off. How about the beginning of March?

Hopefully everything will go ok for your sister, Robin. How exciting! Dec 10th was Alyssa's due date, but she was 2 weeks late, the little stinker.

Almost time to get Jake and then do homework.

I am ignoring that last part.

What is everyone making for Christmas dinner? I don't know what direction to go this year and my grocery shopping is so limited.
Sometimes we do 'dinner' but I don't really like ham and scalloped potatoes and stuff.
Sometimes we just do tapas. I don't know what to do this year. Crap. Plus I don't think I'll get to go grocery shopping right before since we'll be in Garmisch.

Tig, our Spring Break here is the 1st week of April. Kayla's kids are out the 3rd week.

Our food is set in tradition started oh, about 5 years ago! We always order in Chinese food for Christmas Eve. Then we have Cinnamon Rolls for Christmas Morning. An assortment of Cheese and Sausage and nuts and fruit for lunch and Beef Wellington for Dinner. My husband and his father cook the Wellington and an amazing sauce and other things to go with it. I can't even remember what usually goes with it. I guess a green vegetable and maybe some noodles or bread to help sop up the sauce with--otherwise we woud all lick our plates.

I do all of that but the exercise part. Well, okay, I push it on the sleeping part too, but not too bad, 11:00 most nights. 15 years ago I was.......hmmm,, 23. Good grief. I don't even know what I did with myself at that age. I can't remember. I know we hardly had any food because we weren't gainfully employed, we were living "in sin", and oh yeah! i broke my arm that year and couldn't afford healthcare, so it had to heal on its own, and I had to pass a physical to work for the post office with a broken arm.

Yeah, I do think I am jollier now, even with the evil internet.

Hmm, maybe I'm better off going with early March. I do need to check with the teacher to find out when they'll be doing state testing so Jake doesn't miss it.

I also need to plan the California trip for June after school is out (I'll just be bringing Jake and hopefully Alyssa). We won't be doing much sightseeing, mainly visiting Ron's parents, but we will be going to Disneyland. It's been years since I've been there and I've never gone to CA Adventure.
