It's frustrating though. I'll say something like "at Christmas, if you guys are still together, we could..." and he'll just blow up. "You just want us to break up, don't you? Why do you say things like that? You don't like her, do you?", etc. I'm like, "Um, you're 15. Most likely this isn't for life!", but of course he can't see that now. Did help that in the last couple weeks of school I think about 5 couples he knew broke up, so maybe he's finally seeing that this may not be "until death do you part!"

i've seen my share of DS main squeeze's come & go...

have learned to slap a smile on my face & find something nice to say about all of them (hard @ times )...

if i make the mistake of passing negative judgement, they tend to latch on all the harder - this too shall pass - lol.

of course, i dated ex beginning when i was 14; hopefully they shall learn from mom's mis-steps.

Well...I survived another Monday at work and now I'm thinking about mowing the grass. I don't want to but it has to be done.

RVGal - I'm the same age as you, although I'm getting to the "feeling like 55 or so at times"! I'm really worrying about being the weakest link in the family on our upcoming trip. Back when the kids were little, I could count on them to need naps, which helped all of us. Even when they were a bit older, they at least had the stroller to help them hang with us. Last trip (9, 11, 12), we were pretty similar in ability and endurance. But this trip - no way. I'll be the one with my knees and feet killing me while they're still raring to go! Life isn't fair!

Thanks for the entry time recommendations. We'll try to be there as early as possible, but the first day will be driving in from the house, trying to check in to RPR to get the keys, and then trying to be in line by 8:15 or so! I'll be optimistic, but won't hold my breath about it happening. At least the day before is a sleep in day so we have a chance. The next morning while we're at RPR, it should be much easier.

Sharon, I've been on the DIS over 7 years, and still haven't mastered the double quote!

Metro West - well, at least that's one thing teenage boys are good for. I had to help the 12 year old start the mower the last time he cut, and I was like "hey, when did we get a new mower?" Older DS's were like, "Um, before we moved - probably 2 years ago!" Oops, guess I don't help out much out there!

 

[macraven]

my boys had it made.
they have no idea even where the lawn mower is located,

mr mac is too particular on the care of his LAWN.
he is the only one that does the yard.





we are so lucky

I had a kid down the street cut my grass when my mower was in the shop and he did half way decent job but left a mess since he didn't use the grass catcher.

Now I'm doing it again...back later!

I tried to get Mr. G to buy some sheep. Told him I would learn how to spin yarn! We mow 6 acres of an old hayfield. Nothing will kill that grass, it feels like we spend half the summer riding around on the mower. A few years ago Mr. G came up with the brilliant idea of rigging up a drink holder. Now he rides around with a beer, and a cigar to keep away the black flies! Always thinking

Hello, and welcome to our newbies!

Our lawn mower just broke too. Not completely, but the self-propelling feature went to crud. Think I'll use my "charm" to get one of the guys at work to take a look at it for us.

We don't have much of a lawn. We only have 1/5 of an acre (friggin Jersey). We had nasty landscaping up until just over a year ago. The people I bought my house from were a little plant happy and didn't plan well and it was an overgrown MESS. Last year we finally had the $$ to have a professional landscaper in to gut all the overgrowth and design something simple for us, that even us black thumbs can take care of. Well sort of. We do our best.

So, what's for dinner tonight?

Anyone is welcome to join me for Wheat Thins and Low Fat Cream Cheese. (and Honey Brown.)....

 

[marciemi]

Grilled pork or steak (depending on your preference) and grilled shrimp - the "dethaw it quick out of the freezer because I didn't get around to actually making dinner" fallback meal!

Ah, the "Rickshaw Diet." Love it! Am joining you. For dessert I am having a small piece of Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese icing (maintaining a theme here). I have moved on to a Lite Beer though.
