I use a root touch up instead of dying and it blends really well with my regular hair color. It's "Nice-n-Easy".
Yeah, I just don't know what colour to use on the touch up, since it's nowhere near the colour it started as, you know?
How can I break him of the habit of holding things back?!

No real advice. D (with his mom being a clinical therapist) talks stuff out, but sometimes it's hard to get him to look on the bright side of everything.
I've subbed, not sure when I'm getting over...
OMG! Reading all that was exhausting, CE! I'd be freaking out right about now.
Yeah...
Wow CE, hope he flys back at a decent time!
Nope - more to come!
Thing was I wore capris that were a little loose and they kept fallin down I literally had to run whilst holding them up

Video???
CE - Sorry about D's work. Hope he can get back on time and everything works out.
More below. Sigh.
DR is now running around the house saying 'Run for the basement! A hurricanes coming!'
I just hope he doesn't do this at daycare tomorrow.
So sorry...
I don't blame you. I think pre-school is really about learning social skills and if DR's in daycare, that should be enough. And with you working with him at home, he'll be Kinder ready next year.

I totally agree.
I checked and he killed the breaker for the kitchen fan, and that's the same line as the A/C, so I called him and he said I could switch the breaker on and start the A/C, but to watch for any sparks.

Uhhhh... no thanks, it's not
that hot!

Well, they are bringing him back to Boston at 6:30 Thursday night, which kind of stinks. He told them he could fly to Chicago anytime by Saturday, and they could tag a few extra vacay days on the end, but alas...
Anyway, it's really only about 4 hours after we originally intended to leave, which isn't that horrible. It's just that we were planning on driving all night (the kids sleep, we don't have to stop - if we do stop, the kids don't sleep in the hotel, etc.) but he'll be all jet-lagged. Plus, the current plan is for me to get everything ready and pick him up at the Boston airport, then drive on from there, which puts me in charge of packing his stuff. He only has a couple of days (really only one) in Ireland, so he packed light, but I have to remember every dang thing, for the bachelor party, rehearsal, etc. Since we're traveling to his mom's, laundry isn't an issue - he can wash anything, but I have to get the important stuff there.
I am a list maker (there's a reason I get along with you all) and told him to just make a list for me and e-mail it. He looks at his closet and overpacks, so he was resistant. I told him he has NO choice here. He WILL make a list.
He also would like me to somehow get his car into the mechanic's to get the AC fixed before we leave.

(His friend drove him to the airport today.) So, I have to coordinate that with my dear neighbor to get it over there and out again before Thursday evening.
And, for reasons unknown to me, I had to go along to the mall, whilst he got a haircut before getting the tux measurements. First, I don't know why I had to go - I could have been doing laundry, etc. - and second, I don't know why he HAD to get a haircut today. I'm fairly sure there are barbers in IL, and probably even in Ireland if it was that dire. We were nearly late to tennis, which stunk, and I got NOTHING done. I am knee deep in laundry now. If I can get that done, the packing should be easy enough, but that's in between moving the car, the birthday party, etc. Anyway, it was annoying. But I did manage to get the kids their rehearsal dinner shoes.
I think it will all work out, but I really don't want to have to pack for him. I'm nervous of leaving something important behind.
OK, off to change the laundry. See you all later!
