PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 2a

[Briarmom]

, I knew that looked funny, but I was memorized by the kitty and lost all my smarts.

Sooooo many jokes.
Must resist.
May get banned.
Would miss DIS friends....

I think I may have to start a thread about the kids' bedding. I looked at Olive Kids, but the only one ds would like is the space one and they are out of the comforter.
I wish someone would make NICE Disney bedding.

So I just got a call from my MIL. DH talked with her over the weekend and asked if she was coming up this summer. She lives in TN and usually summers up here. We've been asking her for months and she didn't know.
So this weekend DH says we are trying to make plans and need to know if you are coming up. She says she doesn't know. Dh says fine, we are going ahead with our plans then because we are tired of waiting. (Disney in August). He didn't want to go if she was coming in at the same time.

So she calls today and says yes she is coming and found a place to rent for a couple of months but needs to know when we are going to Florida so she can decide when to come. I tell her we are leaving on the 18th, maybe the night of the 17th.

So she says OK, I guess then I'll come in on the 14th. WTH? So she's going to come into town 2/3 days before we leave?

OMG she drives me nuts. Then I was in mid-sentence with her talking about my sons wedding and she suddenly says "Well, I'll let you go now. Bye."

UGHHHHHH

Morning all! Another hot day here.

If you ask me a question and I give you an answer why do you ask it again?

Do you have space available in your program? Yes
In the before and after care? That's what the program is so YES

I do not know how many calls I get like that in a week. Ask me a question that I answer and then ask it again. Do they honestly think the answer is going to change in the 60 sec. since they asked me last.

Trust me, I had many other "meat" comments, and used great restraint! redshoes, you almost got us in trouble!

phorsenuf, your MIL sounds like my mom. She'll talk and talk about what's going on with her and eventually ask about my kids...her grandkids, so I'll start to talk and barely even get a sentence out and she'll cut me off and either have to go or start talking about herself again. I know that she's lonely and doesn't have a lot of people to talk to, but I'm just answering her question about what the grandkids are up to. But she's always been this way--nothing new. Sometimes it's so bad it's humorous.

Merle, do you have space in your program?

 

[bigmerle1966]

Yea laugh it up, after about 50 calls like that a week my head is ready to explode! The really bad ones are those that call and ask me over and over until I get nasty. Why in the world does it take someone getting rude to make a person understand the word yes or no? It's not like I'm giving a round-about TMI answer, it's just yes or no. I need a PITA smilie.

Aw Merle.
Start asking them questions in return...like:

What are you wearing?
I am constipated. Do you know any good laxatives?
Do you think it's wrong for a grown woman to be in love with a teenaged boy?
What are your feelings on global warming?
Would you wear a black nightie with red stockings or is that just silly?
You sound familiar. Did I do time with you in the slammer?

Mornin' (kinda) everybody!!

he fell down and I helped him up

LB--that is scary, I hope it is all handled well.

Steph--you need to get out of the house. Most of my family that lives in So CA does not have air and I think they are completely insane!

phor--that kitty is scary!!! Maybe it will scare off your stalkers.

Why are we being accused of posting too much?

Briar--I think you are going to get in trouble today!!

Okay, so can you guys keep me on the straight narrow regarding weight watchers? I have just joined the online program. Checked out their message boards and really am not finding a place I feel like I fit. Soooo, I am just going to come here and tell you guys when I want to eat a whole bag of M&Ms and you all can tell me not to do it. 'Kay? Actually, I don't tend to eat whole bags of M&Ms so that should be okay. Found out last night that a Culvers shake is 25 pts. Holy Toledo. Since I only get 30 pts for the whole day, that won't be happening.

We have started planning our trip up north with DHs family. Let me say that again--with DHs family. Yeah. Actually, I love MIL and FIL to pieces. One of the SILs and her children are another story. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. I don't exactly look forward to this if you can tell. It used to at least be somewhat good because we stayed in an awesome condo, but as of last year we changed to another area and it sucks. Come on, feel sorry for me! (Bonnie, were you done with that waaaambulance, or did redshoes have it last?)

Are you not going to go to WW meetings? I will help you as much as I can, but I really recommend the meetings. My friend did very well with them.

I will gladly pass on the waaaambulance.

Quick update about my DD - she spoke to her managers (one male, one female), and showed them a written copy of exactly what the boy said. They were appalled, and will be taking some sort of action, we don't know exactly what. The boy was not at work today, but the story has now spread through the whole staff, and Molly's actually glad about that. All the big burly guys who work there are on her side and will back her up, and she wants the girls to know about it too so they can be on their guard. Apparently one of the guys saw what she wrote down to show the manager, so they all know exactly what he said.

Her police dispatcher boyfriend is working on getting his cop friends to run a background check. That is, as soon as Molly can remember to find out how to spell his long, complicated last name.

I tried again to get her to tell me what he said, but she says she doesn't want to have to worry about me having it running through my head, and she won't tell me. Whatever it was, she says it was something that no one should ever say out loud to another person.

Molly's a tough girl, and she's not backing down on this. She plans to get up in his grill when and if she sees him at work again (she feels safe to do so while she's there, surrounded by many people) and tell him off and let him know he better never talk to her like that again.

Thanks for the kind words, everybody, and hopefully T&B is right, and the boy was just shooting off his stupid mouth and nothing will come of it. I'll keep you posted. I'm going to meet Molly at Target in a few minutes to shop for her dorm room, which should be a happy diversion.

I'll help you with the WW DM3. I did that a couple years ago unofficially and need to get back on it. I have been thinking about trying to start it here at work but need to see if it would be better with everyones schedules if we should do the meetings or do online and have meetings of our own. We have people in our dept. that live in differant cities and counties, have differant work schedules, kids, second jobs, etc.

Good afternoon all!

Julie my mil works for WW and she's given me a few snacking tips. If you're in the mood for chocolate she buys the Cadbury 100 calorie bars or the mini candy covered Hershey kisses. Teddygrams are a good chocolaty snack too.

Me!?

Are you not going to go to WW meetings? I will help you as much as I can, but I really recommend the meetings. My friend did very well with them.

I am not going to the meetings because I know the leader of the ones in our area and I don't like her at all. She has her little in "clique" ( okay so that is a little ironic, huh?) and if you aren't in it she acts like all of your questions and comments are a waste of her time. I am already driving far away 3 or 4 days a week to work out and the place I would need to go for meetings to avoid this lady is far away in the other direction. So, I decided to do the online thing. I really like tracking online instead of on paper so that is a good thing. There are also good question answering forums on their site, but no where that just felt like home. WISH moves way too slow for me. I want more than 10 topics that have new replies when I come back after 24 hours. I may find a good fit over there yet, but so far I haven't.

Thanks, Merle and Princess! I was typing very sloooowly at the same time you were!

Well, we can either have fun, or we can be good. Which do you prefer?

Hey chicky! You are never around anymore. Does your boss want you to work or something?

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Have fun and be good.

Make up your mind!

I wish Mama Becky would check in.

Is it a requirement that physical therapists must be evil, sadistic witches with a capital B? UGH!!! Had my first session today and I hurt like holy hell!

Linda, Marley is on his way. I sent him priority so you should have him by Monday I'd think. You'll love this book!! And anyone else who hasn't read Marley & Me, I highly recommend it. I laughed my *** off and bawled like a baby all the way through the book. Sometimes even on the same page! I don't think I've ever read a book I found so entertaining. Bruce and I read it out loud to each other every night when we went to bed. I just can't say enough good things about it.

Making the kitty litter cake as we speak. I'll have Bruce take a pic of me and the cake and post it later on.
