My DH comes home today from Missouri. Whew. The screaming Tink is ready to be put on street corner with a FREE SIGN! The child runs around screaming for everything. She has developed some sort of bounce. Not cute like Tigger either. If she doesn't get her way, she screams and bounces up and down until A. I put her in a time out or B. Her daddy gives her way to her. He has created a monster, so he should deal with her!

She is sitting her telling me to stop talking to her, cause I am bothering her. I scare her. grunt.

Yes. She is 3 1/2 ...going on 15. Please lord help me.

You're cracking me up! I'm having behavior issues with my son too. What's new, right? He's a bit of a stinker. But now that he'll be 6 in the fall, I really feel like he should stop with the tantrums. He doesn't agree. Deal with it now, girl. Or be like me... cranky.

I can't believe it!! It was such a good thread too... *sniff

 

[PrincessV]

I wasn't trying to be dirty. It was the truth...



I'm sorry. *hangs head in shame* I was trying to be punny...

I know Jen! But that's how we got closed down on teh first thread, so we have to be careful.

Rachel- Go on-line and search for a sangria recipe. I wouldn't just start dumping things together. Also- I think most sangrias sit in the fridge overnight.

Really? I've never followed a recipe - just chucked it together and people RAVE about my sangria. I've let it sit overnight and I've not - both were yummy!

OK, I have some news. I told you guys I'm moving. Well, I got two call-backs for jobs today!

WTG Jen! That's great news and I know you'll ace them!

You live an hour and a half from Disney and complain Oh that's right, when I visit your area in the summer I complain like it is my job!

Exactly! It's not so bad in June, actually. I mean the temps suck, but I can deal with it. By August, though? I'm OVER it.

I am loving the Focker welcome. It is warm and fuzzy. Thanks

Oh, we're ALL about the Fuzzy! Fuzzy Math, Fuzzy Packing, Fuzzy Rationalization, Fuzzy Computer Skillz.....

Ok, those with kids in braces... what the heck do you feed them? I can't eat anything. For lunch I had a smoothie from Jack In the Box (do not go try them, it's crack!! ) and then had scrambled eggs and mashed potatos for dinner!

Oh T! Is today any better? BTW, I love the colord bands - too cute!

Another sunny morning here, not sure what I'm doing today

Can I guess?


Golf, perhaps? LY Jo!

I'm off to take #2 to soccer camp. He loves it. It's run by British football players and already #2 is saying things like "no worries, mate."

I can totally picture this - he's such a cutie! Hey, when do we get some trip details? Enquiring minds want to know...

V... CAN YOU TURN OFF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY !!!

If only I had such power my friend! Hope today's going more smoothly for you.

What do you guys think? I'm being silly, right? Or am I bordering on stalking?

Welcome to my world. You're not silly. I've learned to deal with it by just doing my part - a call or an email - and letting it go. If she calls/emails me back and we hash out a plan, great. If not, I move on and do whatever without her. Works for us and no one feels pushed or put out.

The screaming Tink is ready to be put on street corner with a FREE SIGN!

Oh no Jen! I'm sorry - hang in there

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing really new here. I did not reorganize my fridge last night. In fact, I didn't do anything last night. I seem to be fighting something because I'm beyond exhausted and my temperature keeps alternating about every 45 minutes between 100 and 97.

Oh. And it's HOT. And. HUMID. Again.

Ack! It's so frustrating! It wouldn't be as bad if we didn't have kids involved. My kids get so upset when they can't have a playdate for several days because I can't get ahold of them. I'll try to chill.

Dawn- I'm with V. I used to be kind of a friend stalker. Meaning that I would try to find them, when I didn't hear from them. Now I either email or leave a message and that is that...unless it really is a pressing issue. I know that I am really busy and sometimes hard to get ahold of even though I always have my cell...which I get emails on too. It is a peeve of mine none the less. But I figure friendships are two ways. When "they" are ready to put their big girl panties on, I'm here. Now I have a friend stalker, stalking me.

See, she's always like, "Oh I miss hanging out with you. We always have so much fun." When we talked this weekend she was talking about how we would never let things come in between us and that's what's so great about our friendship. So, I think that's why I'm so confused right now. It's so back and forth lately.
I'm in the process of a summer ditching of a girl I made friends with then realized she was cra-zee! her DD is just as much of a pain as she is. The mom got into a big fight with another woman at the Ryans! OMGosh! They were going to take it to the parking lot! She scare me! I'm outta here! So, maybe me ditching that girl has me paranoid. Not to mention the friggin' hormones!!!

I'm normally so independent. This is new to me... Thanks for the help, girlies.

 

[ncsjodi]

Wow, ladies. It took me awhile to find you again! It's been a crazy spring around here, but I'm hoping to get reconnected to all of my Focker friends this summer.

V - I know exactly how you're feeling. I've been sick since Thursday evening. I've had a sore throat and fever since then and I can't seem to get rid of it! I've been on antibiotics since Saturday, but no change! Get some rest and hope you don't catch whatever it is that I've got!

Katt- I'm loving the live updates! I'm jealous that you're at WDW and can't wait to read all about your adventures.

Dawn - sorry to hear of your health problems, but it sounds as if you've got some plans to take care of things. Take it easy and follow the doctor's orders!

Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with this thread this time around!

You guys got me thinking more about this...

I've been friends with a lady since we met in 6th grade. There were a couple years in our young 20s when our lives went very different directions and we didn't keep in touch, but we found each other again and were as close as ever. I consider her and her DH/kids family - I never miss (though I have been late) a Bday/Hannukah/etc., I've tried really hard to keep informed about what's happening in their lives, and I've spent countless hours and dollars visiting them in other states. For the past few years, she's been "too busy" to stay on top of holidays and they've only ever come to visit me once in 15 years. My income is about 1/3 of theirs, and while it's not necessarily about money, it's begun to frustrate me that it's always been up to me to maintain the connection. I felt absolutely horribe when I had to cancel this summer's trip to see them due to lack of vacation time and money. But I finally realized how one-sided this friendship has become and I'm over feeling guilty. I'm not at the top of her priority list and she shouldn't be at the top of mine; I've got family who haven't even met Leo yet. It's a shame if we won't see eacs other much in the future, but it is what it is. She'll always be my friend, and I love her and her family to pieces. But even in friendships, you have to draw a line sometimes, I guess.

Not the same situation, so I'm not advising anything here, just started thinking about it and thought I'd share.

 

[princessjv]

V- I have a so called bf who is very similar, in that I always have to call and make plans ect. She just lives 15 minutes from me and we have been so called "BF" since I was 21. We have brought each other to our mates and saw each other through college, Law School (for her) and births of our children. While my "mom" was dying she did bring meals to my family and such, but rarely called me to see how I was. Since the funeral I think I have seen her 2-3 times. (that was in Oct.) I will always consider her like a "sister" but it seems to be too hard for her to keep in contact. It has hurt a lot knowing that I need to talk to someone about all of my feelings/grieving...but she of all people hasn't even been there for me. She doesn't even know that my"dad" is shacking up with my "mom's Best friend... and that has been known since the winter.

What I gather is... Most of Us have that someone in our lives who is not holding up their end of the friendship tree.

I agree with you V... Let them go. When and if they are ready to have a relationship...we will be here.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Man, we're doing de bonding today. Aren't we? Deep thoughts...

Yeah, that's how I would feel too. I'm so not into friendships that are too much work.
I would be done if I were in your situation too.

I would feel the same way here too.
With my situation, if it had been going on for a while, it would be easy to be done.
But we've been hanging out 2-3x a week the past few weeks. She's the oone who's been there for me when I had to decide what to do about surgery and stuff. She even offered to go to the doctor with me in case the GYN didn't listen to me.

What really gets me is she's probably oblivious to how I feel and just thinks I haven't called lately. She probably has no idea I even called her the other day. She's that spacey. If I could get ahold of her, we could talk it out. But that's the problem. I can't. Arrrgggghhhhhh!

You know what? This is stressing me out. I think I'll run a few errands and do something else to distract myself for a while. It's like I know I'm being silly and emotional, but I can't stop myself. These stupid pills have me all wacked out.

I'll chat with yous later!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Sounds more Australian to me though

I thought so too, but he assured me he's English. One guy is from Wales. #2 came home Monday and said he was thinking about asking him if he speaks "whale" and then proceeded to go into full Dory mode...."hhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllooooooooooo, ddddddoooooooooooo yoooooooooooooouuuuuuuuu liiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeee ssssooooooooooccccccccccceeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Kate- Wait until he starts saying, "Off you go then." and, "You donkey!" That'll be all kinds of fun.

The last thing I need is a little Gordon Ramsey around the house!

V... CAN YOU TURN OFF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY !!!

It was seriously hot over the weekend. The sun seems incredible strong...I swear it was hotter than any time I've been there in August. Hang in there Katt.

~~~~~~~~~~

I just finished mowing the lawn and weed whacking. Is it wrong to love a weed whacker? This thing is awesome. But it did go rogue on me and I hit a tree and sheered off some of the bark I hope it survives.

 

[jcc0621]

OK, that's enough of the mushy stuff!!!!

I need serious help here. I need it to be Friday, can one of you fix it so that it is Friday

I'll go along with that Janet, as long as it means I'm better! I'm really tired of feeling bad. And now that DD7 is home from camp, I have to deal with the two girls fighting too!

 

[Muffinygood]

Yes. Friday is good for me also. Someone please get to work on that.


MEL

 

[PrincessV]

Nothing would make me happier than for today to magically transform into Friday.


On second thought...

A 75% off code for the Poly in Oct. would trump Friday.

That would make everyone happy, well except me of course because I don't like the Poly

I'm glad we have changed the subject. ALL that talk of STALKERS was making me
