Morning Chickies!!! It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm back at the computer. Since the thread hadn't been started I thought I'd go for it again. I'm thinking of you Marble and would call if I only had a number. Us insomniacs need to stick together. I'm hoping to go back to sleep for another hour or two but I'm so wired at the moment I don't see that happening.

We made major project on the addition. All the walls have their first coat of tape and mud. There is an end in sight even though it's still a way off. I'm much less resentful about the room since DH and I talked about our kids and them not helping at all. It was nice to know he was just as mad. Now we're looking at the room as our future rec room and now I'm excited about it. It's too bad our kids don't know how much respect we both lost for them both over this project. I decided I raised selfish slugs.

My asthma is out of control so it's a good thing I'm going back to work today. Working with the drywall just did me in. I haven't been this bad since we moved from Minnesota to Oregon. I'm going to baby my bronchial tubes over the next few days, use lots of abuterol when needed and see if I can improve the situation without going to the dr. But by Friday, I will go to the dr. if not improved.

Everyone have a great Tuesday.

Good Morning,

Hi Marie, boy you are the early bird. Do you take naps during the day? I know I would need one or two lol. Ick on the house repairs, after our home was built (we did it ourselves) I said I'm NOT picking up another hammer, nail or paint brush LOLOL, we did this for 10 years lol Sorry your asthma is taking its toll, feel better.

Nothing much new here, sosdd. Today we are waiting for the phone people to come and hook up some fiberoptic lines for our TV and computers. So I better get my butt up b/c I just learned that he's gonna be all over my house and its a mess !!!!

Have a great day all

Days off yeah!

LOL today I am doing some laundry, tidy up the kitchen and then over to MIL to help her wash her window coverings! I am doing my rugs this week as well....I have access to a powerful rug cleaner for free so I intend on taking advantage of it. I have been in bed between 9-10 pm every night except the couple of evenings I did.......I think I might be turning my sleep around.

I don't think I will be working another night for as long as I live

Ok better run......dd 13 likes a hard boiled egg for breakfast.........and waffles for the little one.

Marie I think all kids go through phases like that when they are selfish and self centered...make sure you continue to share your thoughts and feelings with them.....sit down and tell them that you need help and those nights when you can't sleep make a list of your expectations or the living arrangements may be very difficult....I think our generation thought doing all was being good parents but I do see that the kids in our community that have to do chores and help the family 'cause' are nicer kids and smoother running families.............that is why I am trying to do things a bit differently around here the past few months. I don't think I am doing the futute any favors raising selfish irresponsible children...........It isn't perfect around here but I think my kids actually are happy I have reigned them in and feel good about their accomplishments when we have done a big chore and then we all go do something together. Alot of the reason things got so out of control here was due to all my years of shift work....and for the most part I could do it all........so it became a habit........then when my son died 9 years ago I was so depressed and sad I barely kept my head above water...I had to let a lot of things go........so in the past few years I am trying to backtrack and turn things around..............

HI leens.......don't worry about your house........I am sure service men have seen it all!

Marie breath well today and I hope your sleep gets turned around for you.

Back later!

Hi Gals
I am in between WWer meetings and popping in to say hello.

Any miracle cures for poisin ivy? Caladryl is all I have....but it seems to be spreading.I am trying so hard NOT to scratch !

Liz.when I posted late last night I thought I lost it so I reposted and both appeared! Sorry!

Tippy.it was good to hear from you! As far as church goes I go to serve God not the people....people will always let you down. I wouldnt let it keep me away.If you dont like serving communion why not "give it up"? Just curious why you would keep doing it? Let someone else do it. Sometimes we just have to say NO to some things and give ourselves a "breather". Hope you understand what I am saying here!

Better do a few things around here..it seems like Monday...since we had yesterday off work here for Labor Day~
