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

[Briarmom]

Hi all.
I am tired. Seriously tired.

 

[tevagirl]

Hi Briarmom, when do you leave?

 

[Briarmom]

Hi Briarmom, when do you leave?

Tuesday afternoon.
I am packing. Everything is fine, it's just going too fast.

 

[snowwhitesmom]

only have a minute, but , Hello everyone!!!!!

 

[tevagirl]

Hi SWM

Briarmom, I know you must be feeling every emotion there is to feel but how wonderful for you and the kids to see and experience all these different places.

The time will fly by and before you know it you'll be back in the good old USA. In case I don't get back on (which is unlikely, since I don't have life) I want to wish you a safe journey.

I have to add, I am really jealous that you are getting to spend Christmas in Switzerland and Austria!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

You are such a smart **** and I am such a dunce. I wasn't getting what you were saying!

Yep, smart **** I am! But you're not a dunce.

I heard from luv and she says hi. Hopefully she'll get back on here soon, but wanted me to say "hi" to everyone.

BOMB, I know that you must have so much to do right now. Before long you'll be there and all will be well--just hang in there until then!

Hi SWM!

ok - back for a few - Nursing home called about BOTH DM and DMIL - neither one had a very good day I guess - they both have at least 6 kids in the area - but we must be the popular number to call.....life IS a cycle, isn't it? Anyhoo - very rainy here, our version of Ernesto, I guess - how is everyone?

Wow. Sorry SWM.
SWM...sounds like you're in a dating ad.

I am going to go to the lake. I've been sitting here watching Bridezillas. These people are horrible!

only I would be a MWF, wouldn't I?

Bridezillas is incredible, isn't it? Only watched it once and that was enough!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

When I saw teva say hi to "SWM" I read it as SWIM and I was wondering who she was going to have swim.

well, I am a lot like Dory in finding Nemo - in fact a kindergartner I was working with told me that once - I couldn't remember where I had put something and he said, "Mrs. _______, you're like Dory, you have short term memory loss!" Anyhoo, my point was, that I can "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."

 

[Tigger&Belle]

In that case, I can keep swimming, too! Some days that's all I can do!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

we'll tread water together, T&C! [does everyone have a different letter to go with your T?]

 

[redshoes]

Good Afternoon All!

I'm happy to announce that we offically have some things hung up on our walls. This is an amazing feat considering that we have only been here since May and in our last house we were there 5.5 years and we hung nothing up- afraid of commitment I guess.

I love Bridezillas! I make DH watch with me and point out to him that he could have married such worse than he did.

 

[snowwhitesmom]

congrats on the wall decor, redshoes!

Okay experienced Moms- I need your help. Did your kids act out at all before starting school for the first time? I ask because Zack is putting me (and for good measure DH) thru hell this weekend and sadly it has been going on for about six weeks. I have done a very good job (I'm patting myself on the back) of talking in postive tones about preschool, he has had a tour of the school, he got to pick out his backpack, I plan on taking him to pick out a new outfit on Tuesday- all of these things just for preschool. He is a nightmare, his behavior is out of control. He is usually a pretty well behaved kid, we have been dealing with a ton control issues lately (he wants all the control and he's not going to get it) and he is regressing when it comes to the bathroom thing. The kid has been potty trained for over 2 years now, no accidents and now I'm seeing an accident or an issue related to the bathroom every single weekend (it only happens when my DH is home, he doesn't pull this stuff when its just me). There are no real issues going on here other than him starting school. He didnt pull this crap when we moved into the new house, but now it's a nightmare. I'm sad to say I can't handle being around him right now, I love him very much but his behavior is unacceptable in my eyes and I have tried everything I can think of with him. He is four years old and he was better behaved during the terrible twos than he has been this last month. Give me your opinions, give me your advice, give me your Valium.

Absolutely! I agree with the utmost sincerity - I spent most of my life moving, so I know what hanging pictures means!!!!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

oh - and I have two teenage DDs who are presently making a career out of driving me booga booga, so, to quote Froggy, " I somehow feel unqualified to answer" your childrearing question - sorry! You do have my sympathies though - as they say -"parenting isn't for wimps!"

Is he just freaked out about school Kate? Sounds like he is looking for attention whether if its good or bad. Is your DH gone alot? Maybe DH needs to have a 1 on 1 with him about it being ok to be scard about school.
