Good Morning Ladies!
Well, another weekend done...I actually have Friday off this week. I took it off when we were going to go out of town for a camping event this weekend, but with the new puppies we've decided not to go. Maybe I'll actually get something done at home?
The fish-fry was just that, with all the usual fattening salads and cassaroles and pies and cakes. I ate them
ALL!
But, it was lunch and I didn't eat any dinner and Sunday was better...so I'm not going to freak out about it. We'll just do our best this week and see what Friday WI brings.
Sunday I went shopping with my best friend and her teenage daughter and her best friend. I went to keep my friend from facing arrest for murdering the girls!
I am SO VERY, VERY GLAD I have a son. My poor friend is having quite a time with her child, but she's more polite to her mom around me, so I thought I would go. It was challenging. We were actually shopping for the daughter's friend, who at 15 is wearing a 16+ and shopping for homecoming dance gowns. Not too many made in bigger sizes, but more than when I was a girl. Which is kind of a sad comment on how many teenage girls are overweight. I was actually the only person who bought anything, a pair of green slacks - size 20! I was looking for khaki's, but they were $40 and the green were $10. I just refuse to pay $40 for pants I hope to not wear for more than a few months.
These puppies are driving me nuts.
The sad truth is, I'm not a patient person. I'm not patient with adults, children or animals. I'm not Mother of the Year for my DS - and I'm WAY not for a couple of furry little monsters! I don't think my house (or I) will ever survive the housetraining. I was right when I told DH it was like having twins! I'm just so darn TIRED...
DH and I actually fell asleep at his uncles house at the fish-fry...kicked back in a recliner when we took a break from pup-walking and crashed! I fell asleep holding them last night while they took a nap last evening. I'm appalled with myself for being this tired and cranky over two cute little dogs.
I've got no business complaining with the very real problems some of the ladies here are dealing with...not to mention the South...that's just too big to contemplate.
Terri: Good for you on staying OP all week! The weekends always blow for me.
Kim: I'm so sorry about your son's problems - and yours. There is nothing worse than worrying about your child. I'll keep him and you in my thoughts. You hang in there. (((hugs))). You vent any time you want - here or PM me. I haven't had to deal with this sort of worry...but I'll lend an ear if you need one.
BarbG: Terri was right, you'll be ready to get back on track in time and you'll know when that is. Until then, know that we're here for you. (((hugs)))
Joe Anne: Good for you going to school! It's hard to do that and have a life to live too. DH goes to school nights and works days. I wish we had enough money for him to quit and go full-time and get it done, but unless we sell our house and move to one that's about 1/2 the price - that ain't gonna happen!
Well, on to work for the day. Onward and Downward Ladies!
