Good Morning

Me three!

Liz

ya'll are too cute!

I just finished my 2nd cup of but I think I may need another one or two. I didn't get much sleep last night and tonight I'll be dropping kids off at midnight to get on a big beautiful traveling bus to head to Florida for their big band trip.

Ok ok ok, I know ya'll are wondering why I didn't get much sleep so I'm gonna tell ya (hmmmmm I must need to talk about it)... But I was really mad and couldn't get to sleep. Me and hubby (not dear hubby today) had a stupid argument about money. We have nothing else to argue about at our house so when we have an argument it is over money. Don't know why we argue about it - we have none to argue about - but anyway we do.

One of the things that really bothers me is that of course both of our guys are around (because we are never alone) while we are fussing about money and they can hear everything we are saying and things got said about how expensive the band trip is (even tho youngest ds is paying for half of it with his own money) and I think it ruins it for him - makes him feel bad about the trip. Of course, I reminded hubby that they could hear him and that he was ruining things for Christian and that was when the argument stopped.

So now I'm just MAD! stupid huh! so silly really - this stuff ain't even important!

*sigh* I know where his aggravation comes from - he is tired, working long days, and has lost a few yards, so he is making less money and you know how guys are about that kind of stuff - but it still makes me mad to argue about such stupid stuff!

Oh well ... A nice long brisk walk at noon will help clear my head - right? Cause right now I'm thinking about a zillion things I'm fixing to say to hubby and I don't care who gets "hairlipped" over it. (do ya'll use that saying?)

Ok I'm thru ranting for now (I think).

So how did everybody else sleep last night?

hugs,
cathy

Thanks Noodles. Hope you get some sleep! Congrats on 1st place in bowling!

April - I totally agree with your counselor! it is not worth it to argue about money. it is not important and arguing about it changes nothing. And just for the record I wasn't the one raising cain about it, he was. That's why I am so mad. I was just trying to explain why there was no reason for him to be aggravated about "nothing" and he strongly disagreed. But ya know, it is really stupid for us to argue about money, you either have it or you don't, you either like how it got spent or you don't - still doesn't change a thing and who's got time to be aggravated over stupid stuff?

April - remind me what your real name is - I have the worst memory. it doesn't matter to me what name you use - we will know you either way. I won't be confused if you still use April, but you are welcome to do whatever you feel comfortable with. (see how aggreeable us women can be)

where is the rest of our gang these days?

Hi Ladies,

April, it was a cold one here this morning too, had my winter jacket on burrr.

Noodles congrats on your team being tied for 1st place !! Can you imagine if we could tune our hearts any which way?? it would be a miserable world, I'm awfully glad we can't. Our hearts is what makes us who we are

Cathy, no, its not stupid to feel the way you do. But I think your right about arguing in front of the boys, I remember my parents just talking about how expensive things were that I never asked to go to skating parties w/my friends, or the prom OR to get a gold class ring b/c I felt guilty, I'm kinda glad NOW as an adult that I was the way I was when I was younger, meaning I didn't want to put any more financial burdens on my parents and that I thought about them instead of me, but I have to be honest, at the time it did hurt me not to go places or have nice things. I lived lol. And btw its good to share your feelings w/us, isn't that why we are here. Did your walk help?

Liz watcha do today ?

Well off to bed soon, its thundering here like crazy, odd for May.

Hugs

Hey Leens.......thanks for asking.....didn't do much today......took dd 6 for a playdate...she didn't have school......got my hair cut and foiled blonde.....hung out with dd 12 for a while at lunch as she had early dismissal.....then picked up dd 6....took dd 12 to buy a new backpack.....took both girls home.....got ready for work and then worked from 315-2330 h.......still feeling a bit discouraged about dd 12 and her troubles at school...not sure how to help her most.....try to show her the part she plays in her troubles....but support her at the same time.....

I want to rescue her but I have to help her get through it........say a prayer for me......if you don't mind.

I'll check in tomorrow.

Eliz

Liz you got it !! I know it hurts being a parent and not being able to rescue our kids, I think it hurts us more then the child. Teach your daughter kung fu... lol


Noodles, congrats on being #1 kick tush team

Aprilpepper I agree, you have to laugh and smile every day, its really good medicine for the soul as well as the heart
