On the desk area: library books, radio, nail polish rack filled with essential oils, my church bag, my knitting project bag, my purse, and a bunch of board games that the kids need to put away. The perimeter counters: knife block, crock filled with cooking utensils, drying rack, blender, mortar & pestle, kuerig, bread machine, toaster, basket for bread, and oil diffuser. Island: recipe binder, napkin holder, magazines, rice maker & crock pot (child needs to clean and put away), and onions.

This 100%. Contact an attorney as soon as you can. Hugs!

Wow! My mom was a family law attorney. She's had several clients like your husband. Had one where she was trying to get him to settle. He said that he'd rather the attorney get all of his money than his ex.

Larkrise to Candleford and Grantchester. I just started watching Grand Hotel (it's Spanish with subtitles).

I started reading it and just can't get into it. I'll try again when I finish the book I'm currently reading. A friend said it was a good book.

I agree with you. Hugs!

We won't be going out of town as I have to teach on Sunday. We'll probably go for a hike Sat & Mon.

I'd call a Husky rescue. Try to get in touch with the neighbor too.

Glad for the update. My DH got upset with DS for a similar thing this weekend. DS is usually home by 1 on Sat but there were two events happening at work which went until 4:30. DH didn't know and DS didn't call to let him know. He blew up on DS which doesn't really help at all.

I know my sister's ex-DH's birthday because it's one day off from mine. I don't even know what month her 2nd DH's birthday is in. I don't think I've ever been told my other sister's DH's birthday. I don't think my DH knows his sister's DH's b-day so there's no way I would know it either.

I don't even have words for this situation. The only good thing is that she's moving far away. Hugs to you & your son.

You need to complain to her broker as she's not listening to you. Keep in mind that in some offices there is a secretary who does all of the data entry for listings into the MLS. She may not have access to be able to make those changes. I worked for a brokerage where I was unable to do anything with the listings. It was very frustrating.

It's great for the way I eat cupcakes. I take the bottom half & put it on top. So the icing is the filling of my cupcake sandwich. I find most cupcakes dry so this helps make them moist and easier to eat.

Hugs!

Congratulations!! That's my biggest fear right now. I don't want to go through the baby stage again. I had my youngest just before turning 42. He's great but so much busier than the others were. At least I have the rest of them to help. ?

We did a long time ago. I don't remember the agency. The first girl stayed for a year. She was very rigid and our personalities clashed. Our 2nd girl was a couple of years older and she stayed for two years. She really acted as part of the family. We're still in touch with her.

I'm so sorry for your losses.

Bathroom & kitchen. Make sure there aren't any strong odors (pet, perfumes, etc). Make sure you take down cobwebs, dust baseboards, dust/clean blinds & windows, do a "spring cleaning" where you catch those things that you don't do as often.

Could you make a compromise and find out what his schedule is in advance so your cleaning people don't disturb him?

I wouldn't have eaten those because I would figure the donuts could be soggy from the strawberries next to them. You say that you didn't know the bride-to-be. Do you know the groom? I wouldn't have gone to a shower if I didn't know the bride. Actually, I don't go to showers even when I know the people. ?

For outside workers I always offer cold water. Most of the time they have their own but I feel bad when it's so hot out.

She sounds like a user.

I would get the ducts cleaned. It's not too expensive. We had it done when the carpets were cleaned because you had to stay out of the house for a day or so.

Thanks for everyone's input. I read the synopsis that prairiewindmomma posted and decided that this book just isn't for me. I returned it to the library tonight.

I might have an older half-brother. Would be nice to know as officially I have only sisters.
