Thread Killers Untied! (no Tker left behind...)

[MagiKitty]

Ewww...Pikester! But I know what you mean about bathrooms....the boys are staying at the guest house so my big concern is dust! Where does it all come from? Where does it all go? I have one of those disposable dust sticks that I run all over the place and while it does leave everything clean, it just comes back again. I've got Edgar the Roomba ready for tomorrow to do some last minute vacuuming....

Honestly, as it gets closer to their visit, the less I seem to care. I've going to have fun! (at least I hope I am, but there always seems to be some drama, so we'll see). Plan to fight the crowds at the outlets....bring it on!

In case I don't get on again... Just wanted to say Happy 4th! to everyone. Hope you have a happy and safe weekend.

HAPPY 4TH TO YOU AND YOURS

Hey everyone, just saying hi.

Not much really going on around here tonight..finally get some computer time. It seemed like there was something I wanted to share earlier in the week, but now I forgot...hmmmm. Oh well, I'll remember eventually. I remember I was at work and I thought to myself...OMG I gotta tell my TK friends about that! Arrggggg I hate that feeling.

Hey Pepper23
It will come to you. So nice of you to drop in. What are you doing for the holiday?

 

[pepperw23]

I probably shouldn't have skimmed the last page... It seems I've just read the ending to an interesting quiz from somewhere earlier...

Never made it on last night, DHs class got cancelled, so he was home. But, I can't really complain. As much as I love you all, DH and I see far to little of each other these days what w/ conflicting work schedules, classes, etc. It was nice. We watched a little tv, and just sort of hung out while I folded laundry and started packing for our short Mass. trip and he looked online and planned our route, etc.

Anyway, sneaking in a note here btw CAD projects (automated drafting program that I do weirdly enjoy, but that can be mind numbing.)

Just wanted to say "hey" since I never made it back last night.

TTFN...

OH, one more thing... I know someone asked me to keep the updates coming. There is a Disney Jewelry show on on Saturday afternoon. I think its 2pm EST.

I have a question. If I were to call the show and get on the air (I know figure the odds lol) but if I did and I said "HI LIGHTECH!!!" would you be able to hear me? Of course I would never invade your privacy by saying who I was talking about...I was just curious so that should I decide to do such a thing you would know it was me.

 

[pepperw23]

Hey Pepper23
It will come to you. So nice of you to drop in. What are you doing for the holiday?

Not much really. Probably sit in the front yard and watch the fireworks from Mt. Trashmore (a local park with hills built from an old landfill). Both "kids" have to work and the traffic is so bad on the 4th it is really not worth doing much. I may go hang at the beach on Saturday or go out in my parents boat.

how bout you?

We already have people calling to come over to watch the firerworks. The neighborhood has huge display and we live right on the golf course to it.
DH hates to have company on holidays but he is adjusting.
I have DB and his kids coming. I don't think I've told you that DB has 3 children: all with autism. It makes it difficult for him, he always comes to my house for holidays-Easter, Birthdays, Christmas, etc, their mother doesn't want to be around them so all holidays are at my house because she would rather work than spend any time around her children.
She is a neo-natal nurse and loves the acolades she gets from the "parents of the babies" in the hospital, but doesn't want to work with her own children.
She told me "'this is not what I wanted...so don't blame me if I want to get away from 'them'',
"If you care so much, you take care of them yourself."
So it has been for 10 years
I am not happy about the situation, but I have to help my DB
She doesn't know what she is missing-for a woman that wanted a dozen kids, and tormented me for using "western medicine" with my child.

I dont' know what to do.
I guess that is why I''m telling ya'll.
I hate her, and I know that we shoudln't "hate" people but I can't help it.

Dh's don't ya just love em'! ha ha.

OMG about SIL!!! Let me get this straight. She has been blessed with three beautiful babies and that is the thanks she gives??? You would think she would learn the value of motherhood by her job. I guess it takes all kinds. Bless you for being there for your DB and those precious babies. I knew an Autistic child once and he had the most beautiful soul I had ever seen, almost to the point of me wondering if he was possible an Angel come down for a visit. The kid just radiated love.

There is no need for you to hate her. She is punishing herself for not realizing the extra special gift she has been given.

I have no words or atleast no nice words about your SIL! What makes people act so?

Thank you. I try not to hate anyone-it's a waste of energy and karma.
I guess it galls me because DH and I wanted more children but that wasn't possible. We are great Aunts/Uncle though. I dont' understand why my SIL feels this way, overwhelmed perhaps but she spends so much time "preaching" to others about the care of children.
BTW-Child Proctective Services has been called on her four times by the neighbors because she lets the kids run amock in a neighborhood with 4 child molesters on the block, and in 100 degree heat-while she(you're gonna laugh) spends her days on the internet on her for "subscribtion only" website that teaches people how to raise their children in an "christian, pure" enviroment, how to home-school, not use doctors, etc.....

 

[pepperw23]

ha ha. I'm so used to hearing the name (been there all my life) I forget how silly it sounds to other people.

My keyboard is STILL not right!! argh.

She sounds like an odd bird. Sounds to me like she is lacking self esteem and wants everyone to give her the "you poor thing" song and dance and at work wants everyone to tell her "How wonderful she is to be helping their children and still have time to raise three autistic children". It's sad really if you think about it. I have a friend that has been trying to have a child for thirteen years and she would cut off her right arm to have these three children.

 

[Pikester]

Oh Bopsmom and D&DDisney, I wanted to thank you for your suggestion to the Tag Fairy. I always thought it would be cool to be blessed with a tag. I assume it's probably a lost cause as I don't think she/he makes her/his way to this board. I guess one can only hope! I do believe in Fairys! I do believe in Fairys!

 

[whgrn]

WOW!!! I miss one day (no notifications) and you've advanced 8 pages!!!! LOTS to multiquote here:

I do bra shopping at the outlets but that is hit or miss. As soon as you find a good one, they discontinue it.

Ain't THAT the truth!!

Told you that Senior Pastor called and apologized and was going to talk with the Children's Pastor (he is the guilty one and very high strung)
DH got home from work yesterday and Children's Pastor had called. He "apologized" as best as we will ever get him to apologize. He admitted he should have called us first. That is the only thing he is sorry for.
Believe me, I have all of my eyes watching him like a hawk. If he so much as makes one little bitty comment you may see me on the headline news.
All 4 of us have talked as a family and my saving grace for the next two camps that DD will be on with him is that my DS will be with her for the first one.
This month, DD and DS are going to be camp counselors at a kids camp for a week. And yes, the same Children's Pastor is in charge.
DS has already said he will stick up for DD.
I told them that I expect them to call me daily. DH and I will drive down there if we have to.
They leave on that camp next week.

Shmu, he sounds like the youth pastor when I was growing up. He came up with this idea to pass around notebooks and everyone write what they think of the person who's book it was. (remember Slam Books, anyone??) Anyway, some things were nice, some not so nice. Unfortunately for him, I have a photographic memory, and was able to figure out who wrote what, based on knowing which page was my sister's (I knew her writing, of course). So, what did the youth pastor say? "I don't really know you too well. I can't get close because I don't like fat people. It seems they have no regard for one another". Yes, that IS what he wrote!!! I still remember it 32 years later! I was so horrified, I never told my mother. When I finally did a few years ago, she said if she'd known then, she'd have gone to the pastor and complained big time. (Like I know I would if someone said something awful about MY kid!)

Some people just are NOT cut out for the clergy. Clearly we've each met one of them! Hugs to your kids. Glad DS will be watching out for DD, and that they'll keep in touch!

So, what does everyone have planned for the holiday weekend? Nothing for me, I have to work everyday for the next week. I guess the restaurant thinks we will be busy. Maybe the tips will be better than they have been.

Not sure yet. DSis was supposed to come down tomorrow with her kids, but that's looking iffy right now. Friday, depending on who (if anyone) has fireworks, either we'll go to my parents' or they'll come here. For some reason, everyone in NJ seems to do the fireworks on the 3rd instead of the 4th. How stupid is THAT???

OMG, I'm just speechless! This woman is SO clueless! And your brother must be a saint to put up with her garbage AND take care of 3 autisitc kids. God bless him!

OK, now I think I'm gonna throw up! Please, Bopsmom, when you see this jerk, SLAP her for me!!!

Trying to get packed and ready for our vacation. Everything is pulled, jsut have to put it into the suitcases. DD's new bras came today and they fit great! Amazing what wearing the right size will do for you!
