STAY AWAY FROM THE MMOOOOOOSE KIWONKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WE WILL SEND HER OUR STUFFED ONE THAT WE HAVE DOWNT' CELLAR.LA PECHE I DEMANDEZ THAT YOU PRODUCE SOME PICTURES OF YOUR MAISON---THERE MUST BE ONE ON SOME REAL ESTATE SITE!!!!!LUSH----YOU ARE FLY LADY,AREN'T YOU.

Yes, Demanding Bagz, I do want Kiwi to catch me a moose. A baby one for the back yard would be ok. And there are pictures of the house but I can't access them. They're on a top-secret-real-estate-agent-only site. I have them on paper but they're tiny.

Happy MLK Day everyone. I worked today. Nothing else was open.

I won't go to the wedding, but I will be at the reception. I will be wearing - actually I don't know. All my nicer winter clothes are black. Is that terribly gauche to wear to a wedding reception? My friend will be singing at her DD's wedding. She wrote the song - it's beautiful and she did a preview performance for me and it was loverly, so at least I got to hear the musical part of the ceremony. And actually I have a baby shower to go to earlier in the day so I'd really be pushing it to make it to the wedding ceremony anyway. The baby shower is for a mutual friend of my lil sis's and I. My sis is giving the shower, along w/ 2 other friends. It will be at my parents absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous house, because since lil sis and her DH are separated, she has been staying there while my folks are in AZ for the winter. Anyhow, I received the invitation, and it says that it will be @ lil sis's home, blah, blah, blah, my parent's address, anytown, USA. I know I'm being petty, but it really yanked my chain. It's not her house, it's my mom's house. Do you think I have a case of house envy? This is the same lil sis who blew a gasket over my older sister staying at my parent's house last winter. I guess this is just my day for being petty.

Peaches, why would I want to trim cow hooves? My brother used to raise goats (long story) and he did trim goat hooves. I have enough to take care of doing my own pedicures. Where are the pictures of your new house?????

I like other ppl's clean houses and I like my house to be clean, it just never stays that way. I went to bed last night w/ a clean kitchen, shining sink, dishwasher running. By the time I got up, the sink was full of dirty dishes and the counters were all crumby. I have gremlins.

Good decision, Wabby. You are not being petty about the sister. Relatives are presumptious.
My sissy is a big(and I do mean big)PITA. She's getting a new house, and she told me that I can't come to visit but I should send presents...can you believe it? She hasn't even shown a pic of the house. She expects me to believe that she can't access the website but I think it is because she doesn't want me to know how big it is so she doesn't have to entertain any houseguests.
I've been off for hours....DD went to DR who has her in an immobilizer for another week. She has to go to physical therapy three times a week and it will be MONTHS until her knee is ok. Even then, she'll have to wear a brace to play sports or do anything mildly demanding.
I get SICK of yelling at kids to keep their rooms neat. I must go do so now. When I'm finished, I'm going to do my kitchen. bye

i don't bother yelling at dd's to clean the messy rooms-----i gave up and shut the doors--- i used to be yelled at all the time[when i was a teen] about that and i HATED it----one dd actually told me it was MY fault that her room was messy because i DIDN'T cause a scene!!----- i want reassurances regarding the oatmeal and cream colour scheme---DON'T DO IT!!!!!

No oatmeal. No cream. What is a pita? Some sort of dessert delicacy? I heard from Marcella again. She is hurt. Letty has gone too far.

PITA Pain In The Arse. I just wanted to say that. MY family here are all PITA's and I do not like them today.
Somedays I wish I was still single with no boyfriend/husband and no step-kids. Having a job and buying what I wanted when I wanted. Staying up until 4 AM clubbing and sleeping in until 2PM and then getting up and going to lunch with friends.
Sometimes being a Wife and a Mom sucks and I hate it. Does anybody else ever feel that way?
Gee can anyone tell I am a bit stressed today?
Brat

Doesn't PITA have something to do w/ animal rights????

I'm really, really trying to be good and actually have my desk all cleaned off by the end of the day. And yet I am here.

I only yell at my kids when it gets so bad they can't close their doors. My DD cleans her room once a week, but in between she just drops her clothes where ever. DS is a true slob.

I wish I had something interesting to say. I wish I had something interesting going on in my life. On topic, I ate my cereal for breakfast, and will go walking after work today, in the rain, I am such a die hard. I am giving myself at least one more week off of Curves.

Brattie, I have never been so young that I went clubbing until 4 am. I've been married since I was just a young thang.

I want cream in my oatmeal does that count? Oh and we have to have peaches in the mixture also.
Brat

I went clubbing till 4AM. I looked cute, too. Now I go to bed by 10 and still look like a hag.
Sissy, you WONDER what a PITA is? Puhleeze. Think about the cashmere sweater with the circle pin that you borrowed and stretched out in 1971 when I was in high school and you were many years past college gradution. Had you been the right kind of woman, you would have batted out a few kids then when you were supposed to. But no. You were a PITA and insisted on waiting until you were the whole way over the hill. Shame.

Enough with how I struggle in the sister dept.

I'm sick, sick, sick of driving people places. I am quite a way from any new drivers...dd won't drive until she is 17.

I must go drive people places.

bye

Someone post. I'm going to get up in the morning. I don't want to be bored.

Where was I? I think your memory is poor. You never left the house except to babysit for the Lagosta family.You were always so flat-chested.
You can say this about the mother of your nephew?? Shame back.

Why won't dniece drive until she's 17? I think that's wonderful. Here in Dogpatch, kids are in accidents constantly. Driving is a must here. If this is her decision, I'm proud of her. If it's yours, ho hum.

i agree with wanting them to drive at 17---they have been driving here since 16 and this summer THREE of them were driving about driving me NUTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-one good thing though,lushbag,you can drink all the margies you want and make them drive you home!!!{been there,done THAT}

does anyone drive there in the winter???? When the snow is over your ankles, do cars go????? Please explain this. In return, I will send your one can of boiled peants.

I want boiled peanuts. Are they really yummers? I like family a bit more than earlier today. DD had a seizure and is now sleeping it off. She was a PITA all day. DH is going to be gone for a few days so I get the whole bed to myself for a couple of nights. DS is a brat. I am getting him tested for ADD next week. Have to go to school with him tomorrow and discuss another issue.
