The LOSER thread..we've moved...new address and directions on the last page

[hrh_disney_queen]

We stopped at the Colonel's for dinner tonite. If they would just sell the original recipe chicken skin & biscuits I'd be happy. I sure wish I had a piece of cake right about now. I guess I'll have to settle for cookies.

The kids are still awake, go figure. I guess I'll go turn everything off so they'll at least try to attempt to fool me into thinking they might be going to go to sleep.

I didn't find any info either. Will keep looking though.


In a word NO! I'd just put everything away & lock the doors to the bedrooms. They'll want to go home sooner if there's not a whole lot of fun extras going on. I plan on doing that for DH's party. If people are dumb enough to bring their kids to an adult party on Sat nite they're going to find themselve having to entertain their own children because they're not going to trash my kids' bedrooms so that I have to clean it up again. No way!

I am locking every bedroom except the one DSs share. I need a place for the kids to gather while waiting for everyone. a place to dispurse. They can play with legos or gamecube. I am hoping the room won't get trashed, will have to wait and see. Why do we do these parties, obviously we don't get enough out of them (except aggravation) to make it worthwhile? I tried to get the boys pumped up with a weekend at WDW next year instead of parties, they said "NO"! "why not?" "because we won't get all the presents!" I don't care if I have to promise them extra presents, I am done with birthday parties after DS9's in March..


Oh yeah, forgot to share this with y'all...Yesterday the DSs and I were in Target and we cut through the lingerie department. I hear "Wow, look at all the double barreled sling shots!" come from DS8's mouth. "Where did you hear that from?"..."Jimmy Neutron"...


And then today, DH walks into the kitchen from the bedroom and says, "Have you ever seen that show Family Guy? I can't believe it's on at 7:00, it's filthy!" I told him I didn't like it, they little guy creeps me out...so I walk into the bedroom and he has left DS8 sitting in the recliner WATCHING IT! Now if DH says something is filthy, it must be pretty bad, so why do you leave our 8 year old kid sitting there watching it??? Needless to say, I kicked him out. I let him watch a lot of stuff that PERFECT MOMS would censor, but not that stuff..

OK, now I'm definitely going to bed...will check in tomorrow...

 

[LaraK]

Well my loser friends, my husband is snoring loud enough to wake the dead next to me, so it must be bedtime...see you all tomorrow.

 

[LaraK]

Morning! I had a winner moment this morning after the kids woke me up early...so the family room clutter has been raked up and moved into the appropriate corners.

 

[Mkrop]

Yay for DONE!!

One down, one (mine) to go...glad everything worked out for you...no shows are ok if you don't have to pay...

good luck with yours, is it today or Sunday?

We are all rooting for ya, we all rooting for it to be over!

 

[Lintasare]

Morning Losers, I gotta run to my tax class soon so this is a drive by post. Remind me to tell ya'll later about my dream with Orlando Bloom. It was kinda trippy...but then again most of my dreams are trippy.

I'm off to tax.

 

[LaraK]

Ooh, I want Orlando Bloom dreams!

I've been puttering all morning...why doesn't my house look any cleaner?

Puttering doesn't get it clean. Your kids undo twice as fast when you putter. It's like trying to drive a golf cart from Florida to California, and wondering why you're not getting anywhere. You have to clean at jet speed so you have that one shining moment where everything looks the way you want it to (at least until your tasmanian devils catch up and tear it to shreds again).

I absolutely MUST be a winner today. My FIL is coming to stay for almost two weeks, and he'll be here Wednesday.

 

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

I had the best FIL in the world. He was so loving and careing. Then some how he married DH's mother. I used always tell him before he passed away that when he got to heaven God would bow to him for putting up with hubbys mom. The man was a saint then there is her

 

[Lintasare]

Well I don't remember much about my dream except I got to make out with Orlando Bloom and that we were in this house where in the front of the house something bad was happening and he was going to help me jump out a window to go get help from Amazons.

I swear I wasn't drinking or anything else before bed.

How have I missed this thread?

Okay, I don't hang out on the CB much, but c'mon.

I have an army of Weebles surrounding my computer chair. All that advertising about them never falling down? Yeah. They haven't met my boys. There was apparently a fierce and bloody hurricane in Weebleville. Since the Wescue Wagon is lying on its side, I don't think help is on the way.

I vacuumed sometime earlier in the week. Don't ask me what day. They are all running together. I had enough hair in the "easy empty" cup that I could have built a small dog. Maybe it had been awhile since I vacuumed? Ooops.

They put Kid Cuisines on sale at my grocery store. I bought 2 of each kind.

I haven't updated either of my boys baby books in quite awhile. I consider that "mommy homework" and I am very resistant to homework at this point in my life.

My boys regularly hear, "Milk taste the same, whether you are drinking it from the Star Wars cup or the Bob the Builder cup. Deal."

Do I fit in here?

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Okay, LOSERS, I'm outting T & B as an Oregon State Beaver!

That sounds SOOOOOO dirty!

RV, I do think you fit in.

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

RV, seems like you'll fit right in!!

Well, LOSER friends, today is my last (full) day at my Lodge job. The last day I will have to fold napkins in the shape of bishops hats. The last day I will have to serve formal, five course, candlelit meals. The last day I will have to serve a flaming dessert to drunk people that freak out when they find out they have to take the fiery crepes flambe's off my serving platter onto their dessert plate. The last day I will have to turn down all the beds, placing a pitcher of ice water on their bedside tables. The last day of wearing my crisp, ironed, white uniform!!

I will be in LOSER heaven for the next few days, doing absolutely nothing until I recoop from the last 6 weeks.

Hi y'all. I'm back from the morning of BB and cupcakes. From 9:40-12:30 was spent at the Y. Then off to Sam's to pick up JUST cupcakes. Of course, we were all starving, so whatever they were handing out as samples, we bought the JUMBO SAM'S size of it...Went to ChickFilA for lunch, then stopped at Target for more supplies but in smaller quantities. I am SUCH a sucker for my kids begging, they weaseled another UB Funky out of me..promising to pay me back. This is one of the reasons I can't get on the Dis. Between Webkins, and UB Funkys, my computer is going all day long..Maybe I should have bought them another computer while I was indulging them. And of course, while I was out...two more moms called to say their child could come..at least it was just the invitees...Now I am up to 19...

I have to go work on another part of the party..it's tomorrow at 1:30 til 4:00. Today I convinced DS8 that we should take a weekend trip next year instead of parties, he said OK, if I buy him an extra souvenier....DEAL!! Now I have to work on DS10, who is a little more hard to please..

TTFN, have a great....____________ Saturday...What is Saturday???

That's what I do for my DS8. We never have a party. Well, not a "friends over" party. We have cake with grandma and grampa and open presents and stuff. His bday is in the summer, and it's hard to get a hold of all his little classmates.

We take him to Ocean City, or Hershey Park, and just spend the weekend doing something fun.

I did throw a 13th birthday party for DH's little bro one year. Oh my heavens!! It was so much work, I didn't think I'd ever get it done. Of course, that was back in my WINNER days, and everything had to be perfect.

We bought all these decorations and streamers, and food and pizza. We bought a helium tank, filled up a bunch of balloons with that so they were floating on the ceiling, along with the streamers. We blew up 350 balloons (by mouth) so that the entire floor of the party area was covered.

We forced the kids to do these crazy competitions, like the three legged race, followed by an awards ceremony where they got awards and trophies.

We also forced them to do a dance competition. We made up our own t-shirts for this (which means I made them, decorated them myself). They said "I survived Joe's 13'th Birthday Party!" on the back, and on the front was "Chicken Dancer", "Got my Groove On", "Best Dancer", "Two Left Feet", etc, which was given to the kids after we judged their dancing abilities. They all wore their shirts to school the next day, they were so proud of them.

We had a pinata. We armed these kids with silly string and confetti, and had a silly string fight. We sprayed dyed their hair all sorts of crazy, glittery colors. And then, we let them pop every balloon in the house. With their feet, their hands, their butts. You'd have thought bombs were going off.

Four hours later, parents started showing up. We still hadn't done everything, and no one wanted to leave. But they did.

My LOSER wallpaper update. It's been two weeks since my H started stripping the bathroom wallpaper that hadn't already peeled off by itself. In that time I haven't stripped any. When he started he first removed all the towel bars and the TP holder, so of course we have just been piling towels on the counter and the roll of TP sits on the floor next to the toilet. New wallpaper has yet to be picked out, much less ordered. I'm guessing I'll be using TP that's sitting on the floor for months to come.

Been there. Feelin bad for you. As anyone with a Do-It-Yourself Husband knows, it takes 5 times as long for them to do a project, and that's IF they ever finish it.

When we were in our old house, I finally had to put a moratorium on destruction. My husband had a habit of coming up with a remodel/home improvement idea, tearing up a room of the house, and then leaving it. Oh, he'd buy the supplies needed to finish the project, he just wouldn't ever use them. After the fourth or fifth time, I put an end to the ideas. Put something back together or you can't tear anything else apart.

Nothing got put back together until after we moved to this house (next door) and my sister moved into our old one. SHE finished all his half done projects.

So, if you ever need anything torn apart... or someone to take you shopping at Home Depot... I've got your man. If you actually want anything done, I've got your girl.

My DH is one that will always finish what he starts. But what he does is he wakes up one day and says by the way I am redoing ____________ room this weekend.

I wish!! That would be so much better than my hubby.

As we speak (er, type?), I am sitting in my two toned office. Half of it has brown panelling. The other half has white.

And I don't mean the top half vs the bottom half, as in wainscotting or something. I mean if I look right, the wall is white. If I look left, the wall is brown.

 

[LaraK]

My DH doesn't start any project unless it doesn't involve leaving the couch...he's a bigger loser than I am.

So here's my idiot moment of the week. DD had a birthday party. I got her dressed, got everthing togehter, ran to the drug store to pick up a present, drove over the the Children's Museum........the party is tomorrow.

Since DD and I were already out, we ran some errands...got containers for her arts and crafts supplies (she loves to draw and make things...I think I picked the wrong kid up at the hospital). We went grocery shopping, so that's done for the weekend at least.

Anyway, we're going to give going out to dinner another shot...we've been trying unsuccessfully for weeks to go out as a family.

ETA...RV, you're my kinda gal!!!! You'll fit riiigght in. Pull up another chair, um, yeah, becareful when you sit on that one, you need to put that book under the one leg, I'll fix it at some point.
