Hi,
back from school... I just love our elem. school's art teacher. I am so jealous of the stuff they get to do!
Okay, I'm commenting way back from page 63! That's how far behind I am.

Deadheadbelle - QOTDY - I WISH we'd only had our dogs on the hardwood. As I am writing this, MasterClean is steaming out all of Tucker's Tinkles out of our carpet. Our dogs have the run of the downstairs, except Ed's study and our bedroom. We have gates in front of both of those, and on the stairs. If they went upstairs, they'd have a heyday in both DD's rooms and choke on something unmentionable, I'm sure!
ohanafamily QOTDY - nanny, etc. My mom also. She is the greatest, and she did it all herself. She's in Nashville and I miss her horribly.
Lewski709 - When I married Ed, he had a cleaning person, and it was part of the deal that if she stayed, I would stay! We've been through several over the years, and only one was a bit "rough around the edges." The rest have been wonderful. Try to find someone that a friend uses that then has several other friends that use the same person. You deserve a break today!
Danauk QOTDY - my favorite international food is Swiss Raclette grilled by the fire and scraped onto boiled potatoes, and of course an icy cold bottle of white wine with it. 2nd choice... Roast beef and yorkshire pudding! Oh, and tonight I get to "clean house" so the cleaning ladycan come clean tomorrow!
[color=CC0033]kadaten[/color] - your QOTDY - my worst job is right now! Hope my bosses don't read this ... I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings! I am doing part-time bookkeeping for this little ad agency... it's not what I started out to do, but the bookkeeper quit and they asked me to take over. Now that's all I do and I despise it, but they are struggling to make ends meet and I just work as few hours as possible to keep their payroll down. I'm not sure how easy it would be for them to find someone else as flexible, and I'm chicken to tell them I hate this job!

We used to go to Gatlinburg a lot when we lived in Nashville... did you see lots of bears?
RickinNYC - I've been at this bad job for over a year... does that mean I can quit without feeling bad? The people are so nice, it's the job that stinkaroos. Also, I didn't think that snorting coke at work was permitted, even in NYC!
[color=339900]ibouncetoo[/color] - ohhh, have fun in Sedona. DH and I almost were going to fly there Sunday to celebrate his 50th, but decided to have a party here instead. Where do you stay when you go? I had a terrible time trying to decide where to make ressies.
Lewski709- I've never been the Easter Bunny, but I was Molly Moo, the cow featured in the Kroger races at Tennessee Titans games. I called it being Helen Keller Moo because I couldn't see, hear, or say anything in that huge cow head!
Deadheadbelle's QOTD: Chris: if he had been a girl, he wouldn't have had a name! Kelley - was almost a Sam(antha) or an Alex(andria) and Katie might have been a Turner, or a John, after both grandfathers.

- Congratulations on the new sweet niece... how about posting a picture?
Bichon Barb - What is a Nancypants? And why does your SIL need you to watch her kids? Yllk. You must be a saint. your QOTD - we don't have much trouble splitting family time because my in-laws are in Cal. and aren't so very involved in our lives... they are satisfied for us to fly out each summer. My family is all in Nashville, and now that we don't live there anymore, that is where we go for holidays. period.

I can relate.

[color=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/color] - thanks for the sweet PM, and I'll answer it when I have time to breathe. I'm so glad little Ella is not bad sick. It's the worst having to hold your children down while docs do their work. It always makes me cry ... for my furchildren too. And about that family of yours... 'THAT PLANET WORD' on them!!! You do what you need to do and don't let them make you feel bad! You are not a "she" and people (even family" who don't have anything better to do than label people that way can just go suck a parsnip. So there! (I know that's a pat answer, and I'm sorry, but it makes me mad for you, because even though I only know you a little, I think you are a kind and caring person and they don't know how lucky they are to have you as part of their family.) I'm sending you a bucketful of PD, and maybe you could go snort that while Rick is snorting that D. Coke!! Make you both feel better???
Whew, longest post of my life, maybe??? Well, I just love y'all and I appreciate you letting me live here with you! It's been pretty lonely in Ohio!!! I hope someday I can make it to a TAG meet and play with you in person.
