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

So... the house is descent. The lawn is mowed (half way at least. But can't finish it till DH comes home and fixes it) The dishes are done. The last load of laundry is drying as we speak.

Now what?

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

Oh my gosh, oh my goodness!! Best news I've heard all day!!

There are 3 people involved in my crab business. Me, I run the factory and do the paperwork. Hubby, who does the ordering and the delivery and handles customer relations. And Bubby, who works the crab boat, and is in charge of crabber relations.

Well, this morning, Bubby drops by the crab house and asks if I'm going to the DC thing tomorrow. I moan and groan and tell him yes, but also let him know I'm freaked out by it because that means I won't be at the factory, which means my MIL will be taking care of it alone, and that's a disaster waiting to happen, I don't have a REAL babysitter, just a cousin's wife who will watch the youngest for a few hours, then my MIL would have to go get him and deal with him while she finished up at work. And hubby is off to NC again tomorrow, so he won't be around to help out with things.

I guess my moaning and groaning paid off, because Bubby decided he'd go in my place!!! I am ecstatic!! No DC tomorrow!!

Well, ok, I am kinda depressed that I'll miss a Subcommittee meeting, since I've never been to one, and how often does one get invited anyway? But, I certainly won't miss the 2 1/2 hour ride each way, the train ride, walking in heels, meeting with people that I don't really like, nor would I ever vote for, in hopes that they understand my point of view.

Yes, but is it in your veggie crisper??

Don't tell me that some of you losers actually use that drawer for fresh veggies! That's just not right!

Hey I put veggies in mine about 3 months ago. Now I am afraid to open that drawer again. Wonder what is going on in there?

A lot of growing, I would guess. Best use the disposable gloves to clean it out and keep some tongs nearby, just in case...of course, I don't mean TODAY. I mean, in August or September when you get to it...

I would be very very afraid. For all you know those veggies have molded over and that mold has formed it's own advanced society.

The bearer of bad news is back. Sorry guys. I just need to get it all out.

The driver that hit him was on drugs. He came over to his lane and ran him over. He already had a misdeameanor for something else so he never should have been on the road. Theres a picture online from the newspaper...just awful.

Ok I promise to be sad anymore tonight. I need to keep my mind happy and occupied. THanks for all the hugs guys. You guys are the best.

 

[nataliela]

has bavaria posted here recently?

I think she might have posted once like last week-or it might have been in the lounge? But other than that she hasn't been on this thread in a while...I have seen her on other threads though!!! She's breaking up with us I guess!

Take him to krispy Kreme--a free donut for every A!

I bribe my kids. I just call them rewards. They get $1 for every 100% on tests/projects/reports (not assignments) and $5 for every A (or 4 in DS case) on their report cards. A bonus $20 if all the grades on report cards are A's. (They also get a $20 if they make Presidential Fitness award.)
It works for us. My kids don't get allowances. They really need no spending money at all as we pay for anything they do. This just gives them a little cash to spend or save as they choose.

Wow---I'm still in school, can you adopt me?

Y'all, I fogot to share this with you. All this coffee talk has reminded me. This morning I took a big mouthful of coffee and for some reason forgot how to swallow. I ended up doing something-I don't know what, but I started choking and ended up with coffee squirting out of my nose. It doesn't burn as much as Coke does, but man it was VERY uncomfortable....I couldn't stop coughing or sneezing...I dont' ever want to do that again..

ouch

Latest update

You are breaking my heart!

They way my yard was growing - there could have been 12 mormons in my yard - and I would have never known it!!

I have a meeting at work tonight so I have to stay until like 9!!!! Not fun!

Hello! I'm new here and just saw the rules to this group and was amazed that there was a group that described my life so well!!!
I knew I wasn't alone...I just knew there were others like me out there! I am so proud to be a loser!!! haha!

Afternoon all!!!!!

Fractions. DS8 is doing fractions. Lovely, lovely fractions.

I know this is weird, but I love fractions! I'm kind of a math geek...

What grade do they start doing fractions in school?

I taught my daughter to multiply and divide fractions a couple of years ago. I didn't think she would really get it but she did.

Welcome Mellisa, considering your location I think you will fit in quite well here

Ok DH took DS10 to a minor league ball game, they give out the tickets for reading so many books at school. I was thinking about having DS5 and I go, we would have to buy addl tickets. I just could not muster up the energy, plus I am not sure how long DS5 will last. Next year he will want to go when he earns his own tickets by reading.

Just thought I'd share, now where is that Pie...

Ouch! Can you still smell coffee?

Found the box of garbage bags. they were under the clean clothes on the couch

You didn't have to fold the clothes to find them, did you?

Well to add to all of our bad days, a good friend of mine just called & told me he needed to talk. So he is coming over tonight. He is always let things roll off his back, happy person. So this is very unusual. hmmm.

Uh-oh--hope it's not bad news

Fractions are FUN! said the geeky math teacher (Mine started in 2nd grade, Alesia) Wait til Algebra--now that's even more fun!

Welcome, loser!

Hey Losers,

DH and I had the talk with DS. We are switching to another troop at some point in the next few weeks. He's not thrilled with the idea but he gets why.

I think I hear shingles blowing off my roof today. The wind is blowing something fierce! 35 mph and sometimes as much as 50! This really sucks because it's our first nice day and we an't be out to enjoy it.

I am making chicken enchiladas for dinner--what's for dinner at your place?

 

[meb7]

Dh is out of town so we had french toast for dinner and a banana.

I got the living room/kitchen/eat in area (all one long room) cleaned up & vacuumed, so my friend won't run screaming. I even cleaned the sink.
The boys are watching Peter Pan- surprise surprise.

 

[LUVMYTINK]

What are you nuts? Nah I just moved them over.

Poor kiddo. Hopefully this other troop will be better & he'll make new friends.

I just picked up some frozen pizzas for the kids at Walmart & got me a sub at the Subway in the store.

35 MPH? Pffft...that is nothing. Come down here during the spring. Then you will know what wind is. Ya know...our winds could be classified as Tropical Storm force at times. However our weathermen just call them high winds.
