The Losers~Dishes can wait, life can't. Come sit a spell! Winners should walk away.

[LUVMYTINK]

Well the kids had fun outside playing basketball. #2DS was very happy about being able to score a basket with it set at 5 feet
Came in, made dinner, kids played & picked up the mega blocks after much harassing by me (threatening of taking them away AGAIN). Called FE to say good night he's not feeling well. The twosome are in bed, #1DS, once finishing his apple (which he is eating very slowly cause Return of the Jedi is on) and taking his bath, will be in bed.
Then I don't know if I'm going to do more around the house (like the dishes) or go to bed early. I do need to spray #1DS's baseball pant with the Shout so I can wash them in the morning. Was too exhausted yesterday and forgot

I think all of us caught the winner bug today, cause it sounds like we were all busy.

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

Busy, busy and nothing to show for it in my case. My house is STILL a wreck. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

g'nite, y'all..

Hi

My name is Lauralee (LL) and I am lurking over here from the budget boards after getting tooooo nosey for words about what goes on over here. Sounded like a hoot.

i am a solid #5 with some minor slippage to a #6 and (dare I admit it) #7 upon occassion.

I do know how to get peeps out of a rug, but it involves a large white boxer, a little bit of time and a drool factor, which may negate the fact that the peep is gone...

I have a white kitchen floor that, thanks to dh , 2dd's, said ddog and one very dcat remains mostly beige most of the time.

I have officially been the "meanest mom in the world" so often that I am eternally grateful that they don't give you an award for it.

I have removed carpeting from my home because you just can't steam clean a carpet once a month (like it would happen if you could anyway), it doesn't hold up , but the mud sure does.

I have been in my house for 8 years and have used my self cleaner on my oven once, after a turkey mishap , 'nuff said.

And finally, does the fact that, whilst reading the rules, the sun shined upon me and I heard the angels sing "You are home" count for anything?

Thanks for considering me for membership,

LL

Hey LL! Welcome to Loserville! Throw that dirty uniform in the corner and pull up that chair. Enjoy stress-free non-judgemental fun here.

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

Hey LL!! Looks like you'll fit right in!

I'm happy to announce I have 3 rooms at cleancom 3'ish. The rest of the house is cleancom 8 and slipping.

I figure I'll just avoid the cleancom 8 rooms, and hang out in the clean ones. If you don't see the mess, you can just pretend it's not there, right?

Morning all!

Start my new job today, which means that I will be here a lot less during the day.

Not to to far to the end of the thread....Thought of another potential name:

"Wasting away again in Loserville...searching for my lost shaker of salt, and lost shoes, and lost toddler, and lost...."

Lara I the new title Good Luck at the new job today!

The other day my neighbor borrowed my vacumm, I warned him it was on its last leg, DH was there and said the belt is probably ready to go again. He will fix if something happens. So neighbor takes the vacumm, gets all done and the belt breaks. So he tells me this and I say dont worry about it, DH comes out with a belt and said I wll fix it. No my neighbor insists he will go get a belt and fix it. So he does and brings it back last night, I told him he just ruined a PERFECTLY godd excuse for me NOT to vacuum.

lunabkat Welcome do stay awhile and enjoy the fun

Hi all,

Well, the kids are out the door to school and I am left with the aftershock of the weekend all over my house. Apparently all of the "stuff" in my house likes to meet on the kitchen table at least once a day for a super chat session...I can't stand it. As long as one bathroom, the kitchen and the living room meet #3 standards, I can deal. All the other rooms have doors to shut (the bathroom does have a door, but it doesn't seem to work as everyone from the kids to the cat and dog walk thru it when I am in there, the cat seems to think its the perfect time to rub his little ears...)

Thanks for the greetings, I can't wait to meet everyone

Morning losers.
It's another fun filled day of cleaning and laundry
I did find a handy trick to get the twosome to pick up the mega blocks this morning before breakfast. I had them race to see how fast they could pick them all up....................wonder how long I can use that trick before they catch on?

[It's A Happy Day]

If I ever get off my rump, it'll be a housework day for me too. But I ain't makin no promises!

As far as high heels -- UGH! That is only one method of torture you'll have to endure just for being a woman.

Other methods include yanking hair off your face. Waxing sensitive areas would be another (someone has a great story about that, whoever you are, please share again). Squeezing yourself in a dress that's so tight that you are turning blue from lack of oxygen just so you can say "I'm a size 6!"

ETA: These methods of torture do change from decade to decade. We have all been relieved of the duty of looking like linebackers because shoulderpads were "the thing to do." As well as making our heads look like they are the size of Montana by teasing and spraying our hair until it's tall enough that a bird mistakes your head for a tree and nests in it.

I am 5'8" so no necessity for heels.....I HATE them!!!! And just buy a size 16 and white out or cut the 1 off the tag

That story is great!!! Wanna know what makes it better? Im sitting on this huge comfy chair in the living room laughing about it. My mom has her laptop on the island next to me (theres no wall between our kitchen and living room, our house has an open floor plan). I walk by her laptop to go to the potty and she has drugstore.com open and shes looking at waxing products!

Im running out to Linen's and Things. Im going to get a ped-egg. This should be an interesting afternoon

Let mom read the story.....she may change her mind What is a ped-egg?

Um....why are my kids like little demons?

They were outside playing for a while, then they came back in. DS8 started screaming like someone was killing him. After investigation, I found out that DS3 had a stick that he poked in poo and was now torturing his brother by chasing him around, threatening to get the poo on him.

I confiscated the poo stick, and now DS3 is crying hysterically as if he'd just lost the crown jewels.

Howdy Losers! I have made breakfast and bathed both me and the kid. Upstairs is straightened up, laundry put away (GASP!)...DH is still not showered (since Friday-eeewww!) and is STILL a grump. On top of that, he isn't traveling this week, so he will be home EVERY night. I just can't wait.

Why do men do that? I cannot NOT shower every day....I just feel slimey if I don't. Meanwhile DH won't unless we are leaving the house over the weekend Fine, but don't cuddle up to me in the middle of the night

Neither!!! Didn't really do anything. Just thought that since he put 2 minutes in, he should be rewarded.

I told him, he gets absolutely no TV, no video games, no nada until that room is clean -- even if that means two months!

Mine pull the "but I'mmmmmmmmm tiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrreeeeeeeddddddd

well I actually cleaned today too. You don't know what a miracle that is. I called my husband at work and told him I had a surprise for him that wasn't a dog or a couch or costs any money LOL. Usually when I have a surprise it's a new pet or furniture that he doesn't have any clue about.

2 of my kids are home. My son was supposed to go paintballing with his wrestling team but only one other kid showed up to do it. Luckily it was someone we know so he could get a ride back home.

My oldest daughter is in AZ with my youngest daughters best friends older sister who is `16, My mom drove them out there for a concert of Panic at the Disco. My daughter forgot her sunscreen and says her feer are burnt. I hope not too bad and my mom told her to get some snacks and she said she didn't want any so now I have a hungry burnt 11 year old stranded in the desert. My mom is just about at my aunts house in southern az to drop off some much needed clothes to my cousin for her kids and won't be back to the concert area to bring suppiles until probably just when the concert is starting. I sure hope they sell food there. We loaded her and our neighbor up with money so hopefully they sell something. I am a nervous wreck a little bit right now LOL. They should of just started letting the kids in a few minutes ago and it did sound like she was having fun, this is just something I have never let her do before so I am just crossing my fingers I didn't make a bad decison. The neighbor girl is super responsible though and very mature for her age. Now I am wishing my son who wanted to go but decided to do the paintball instead would of gotten to go. He is super responsible too. Not sure where I got all these good teenagers around me but either I am dense or there are really some good ones left out there. LOL

Ok now back to putting the kids to work to help clean up some more.

Ok she just called me and they had a dance competition for some local radio station and she did her cheer routine and now gets to meet the band. WOW, she was so excited. I can't believe it LOL.

Yeah for DD

Welcome Luna!

No...they have joint custody...we have him M, W, F and all day Sat. until between 4 and 6. Those were the arrangements. My guy works different shifts (he's management in retail) so I'm always the one to keep the child. Not a problem, I love having him!!! She asks to switch days with us, which we almost always do...but now she's on a kick about wanting us to keep him every weekend instead of what was arranged so that she can go out with her boyfriend (who doesn't like her son). I had to drop off some things to her this morning, and I was nice (as usual). She asked me about switching to weekends only and I told her she'd have to talk to him about that. She called him, at which point he says, no-we go with what was planned and we can switch sometimes when you need to. She then proceeds to tell him she will now keep him all the time, will take him back to court to make us keep him every weekend, and various other threats. He says do what you need to do. She then tells him (while she starts crying) that I was bad mouthing him this morning, I'm always mean to the child because I hate her, and everything she's doing is my fault. If I hadn't said bad things about him, she would never act this way.

She is a proven liar, and has been her entire life. I don't ever say bad things about my guy (especially wouldn't to her), and I treat the son just like I do my own. She took advantage of my guy before we started dating and then living together and now that I'm in the picture, he doesn't cater to her whims and wants the way he used to. That is her major problem.

I have gone out of my way to be nice and to do everything I can to benefit the child (keep him from being shuffled) but I am at a total loss. I am so angry I don't know which way to turn.
I have lots of thoughts and feelings about her that I keep to myself because I try to stay out of the middle. Now she drags me right in and my guy says just to avoid her and not say anything. I know he's probably right, but it doesn't help me any right now.

If it is any consolation, my situation was similar growing up. Mom got preggers with me to save the marriage only to discover she didn't actually 'like' being a Mom, so she left us both. Turned up only when my Dad was set to remarry and played me against them for years until I was old enough to figure out what was going on. (Of course, most of the time I had no clue and thought she was the 'cool' parent)

Once I was older and started figuring stuff out, I basically cut her out of my life. (She has only seen DD3 twice, and once was only for breakfast at WDW on the morning we were leaving! I'm just nice that way.) My step mom put up with SO much from me and never gave up, although I am sure she wanted to do so. I consider HER to be my mom and often refer to my 'real' mom as my birth mother, since that is really about all she has contributed so far.

Best advice? Channel your efforts on the kid and let his Dad and Mom deal with the rest. The less contact you have with her directly, the less ammo she has to use against you. Good luck!

Well, caught up on my reading....you guys must have busy because there weren't too many pages. Sunday was a bust for me....worked all day till 6:15PM then I have to take the gruesome twosome out for pizza and to see all the family so they could give them their birthday presents. My brother works in a pizza place so we all met there and had pizza, brought a cake, and got home around 8:30PM. Where they DH (who didn't want to go to the family fun function) rants and raves that the pizza I brought him was cold (he doesn't like cold pizza ) even though it was still warm and WHAT was he going to eat because he hadn't eaten ALL day and wah, wah, wah. My response was if you weren't acting like a 1 year old I would have been happy to make something else for him but now he is on his own! Your stomach is not my obligation! So I guess I'm in the dog house with him. Such is life, he'll get over it. Did a little picking up and went to bed....tiring day after a tiring Saturday.

And we start anew this AM....
