Oh you are showing your true homeschoom mom colors there! I too find it hard to mobilize the troops before 9:00. At least half you family will (hopfully) be tired enough to nap tomorrow afternoon.

Kilts, much like Navy uniforms, make any man look 100 times better;):lol:. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.:tongue_smilie:

Yes, it looks like they start and finish at the same place.
Well, that makes your job much easier. You can be there at the start to encourage them, and cheer them on as they finish. Easy peasy!

I never thought about freezing grapes until I visited dh's dad and step-mom. They always have frozen green grapes in their freezer. When they offered them to my kids, those grapes dissappeared within minutes. They are like a frozen treat. Now I occasionally throw my green grapes into the freezer. My kids love them. I haven't tried it with red/purple grapes, but I imagine it would be similar. Try it.

As an older sister who is watching her younger sister take advantage of her parents, I say GOOD JOB MOM!!!! I get that it sucks, but your are truly a rock star in my book. You are getting the job done without being overly harsh. You are not physically/emotionally/verbally abusing your son. You are just showing him the consequences of his inaction. You have struck parenting gold right there. Stay strong Momma! He will thank you one day.

Be there at the end. When I ran my first 5k I was lifted up by the sight of my family at the finish line. Granted, there really was no other place for them to be, but it was still pretty cool. Is it an out-and-back course (where they start and finish at the same place)? That would make it much easier for you.

"Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that MIL. The boys were so looking forward to it. Here, let me put you on speakerphone so you can explain it to them. They are going to be so disappointed."
I'm not nice sometimes. ;)
This. Oh I get the mil drama. My mil is Queen of Passive-Aggressive Land. I invited her to my kids' piano recital in April. Now, dh was working non-stop and our house was in the midst of a bathroom renovation, but I invited her. She told me she was coming. I told my kids she was coming. She called me TWO(!!!!) days before the recital and told me she decided not to come because, and I quote, "You didn't seem excited enough to invite me, so I decided not to come. Can you tell the kids for me?' :glare: And while we did not have a first communion debacle, she was so darn cranky and passive-aggressive during the kids' baptisms ("I'm not going up for communion. I won't play that game") than I almost shot her. I get the mil drama. I am right there with you. You have nothing to feel guilty about. This just seems like a really stinky situation. I would follow the advice quoted and make her tell your kids that their vacation is ruined because she cannot stand the thought of sharing her grandkids with their other grandparents. Yep. That is what seems like the root of the problem.

I'm kinda there too. Dh and I were both active duty at the time. My oldest had just turned 1. I was scared of leaving my child all alone for who knew how long. I didn't see my dh for 3 days after it happened. I had to stand on that pier and wave goodbye to him, knowing where he was going. Trust me, I will never forget.

AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!! So very, very glad the Packers are my back-up team. Still, I will always love my 'Aints.
-
Caffeine. Lots of it.
-
Sigh. Good thing the Packers are my back-up team. Because, as a life-long Saints fan, I have learned than in order to preserve my love of football, I have to have a good back-up team. And Aaron Rodgers is hot, which is making this a little less painful.;)

Me!!!! WHO DAT!!!!

There is nothing wrong with having boundries. My kids don't do sleepovers during the week for the very same reason. You can't compare yourself to other parents.

Captain Morgan rum? Wine?

There is nothing to be ashamed about. Oregon played well. You guys will do fine this season. Still, victory is oh so sweet!:tongue_smilie:
GEAUX TIGERS!

South Louisiana-raised. It is either her-i-cane or herrrr-cane. We experienced enough, so we get to pronounce it however we like.
-
Your duck Gumbo tastes oh so good! Geaux Tigers!
Really, Oregon played so well. Can those guys be any faster?!
-
I don't know. My dh and boys watch the '85 superbowl game before every superbowl. Oh, and the Bears always win the superbowl in our house, whether they play or not. It's a foreign world to me!
I totally get your logic. The Saints win every Super Bowl and LSU wins every NCAA Championship game.
-
We DVRd that game when it was first on and then dh burned it to a disc. He's watched it...oh....10 times. Each time at the end he looks like he wants to cry.
Right now he's out in the garage in his man-cave with a cigar and hollering at LSU.
Geaux Tigers! We like duck Gumbo!!!!!
-
:svengo: Sounds blissfully awesome!
-
Oh I get it. That was only the best Super Bowl ever. It should be watched over and over again.
I'm no help. I am a flaming Saints fan. I watch more football than my dh.

All three of mine were born in hospitals. The first two were less than exceptional, mostly because I gave birth in Navy hospitals. The last one was awesome. It was my most laid back, calm experience. I did have a midwife who really stood up for me, No IV, no confinement to the bed, nothing I didn't want. I think if the OB would have been on call that night, he would have done the same thing. Hospital births don't scare me one bit (well, except for Navy hospital births). Doctors don't intimidate me, so I have no problem standing up for myself and making my wishes/demands known. Honestly, in a doctor/patient relationship, the patient is the employer and the doctor is the employee. You seem assertive enough to not be bullied into anything you don't want to do. It will be fine. And it will be over soon enough.;):)
So thankful pilot hubby is on the ground from London flight...

:grouphug:. I get it. Dh isn't a pilot, but there was a scare at his place of work yesterday. It turned out to be a misunderstanding, but I had serious flashbacks of sending him off to a war zone after 9/11. We just need to get through tomorrow. 26 more hours and it will be 9/12.:grouphug:
