Another Lynn Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I know some of you just went to bed a short while ago, but I'm up to get ready to take one to the pool for dive conference meet. Y'all were busy last night! Jean, hope you didn't throw up; hope you are feeling better! Renai, hope you finished homework and got lots of good sleep. Ikslo, hope your eyes and head feel fresh when you wake. Tex, glad that's your name, because that's what I call you, lol. Brandy, WAY to go on the room remodel! Slache, so you were telling your dh you wanted pizza. (I'm a little slow.) JoJosmom, congrats to your dd for making herself do hard stuff. You have reached parenting nirvana. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Time to start painting before it gets too hot for me to wanna.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Lynn - I didn't throw up. I usually don't. But I do get waves of nausea some days and I'm not even pregnant! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 First coat of paint done. Timer set for 1 hour to let it dry. Think I am going to go sit in front of the fan to cool down and read for a bit. I still have to do my normal housework today but will leave that for after lunch. It is 10am now, so at 11am do the 2nd coat, then have lunch and then I can tackle the rest of my day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 We were rain/storm delayed for a couple hours. Oldest had to leave before it started because he was also in a chess tournament today. I'm home for a quick breather before I take another one back for his age group dive meet. (More rain predicted, lol.) JoJosMom, thanks for your concern, lol!

lots of little ducklings Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I took typing in high school. On, you know, a typewriter. (That's actually a thing, for you youngsters.)

Slache Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 We had a 12 year old visitor that asked why our stove looks the way it does. I explained that my husband is a sloppy cook and I put tin foil on the metal parts so that I can replace the foil instead of replacing the metal parts when food gets burned into them. She replied with further confusion and I realized she had never seen a stove that wasn't flat. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 OMW! I looked them up. I totally had those! I still have a portion of The Fairy Princess memorized. I would sing the opening song, do the MM intro, sing the FP song, and start in on the story with all the voices. Then, around page 4 or so (I didn't have the book at the time), I ran out of memory and just told the story to her. Oldest dd loved it! Fairy Princess was my favorite story for some reason, and I wasn't even a girly girl. I finally bought several of them from ebay a while back, and also the record "Songs that tickle your funny bone." I have a bunch of those memorized as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only remembered a few words from a couple of songs, and looking up lyrics to each helped me find the album. I think most of the songs were not original, like Yo Ho Blow the Man Down, or What Do We Do With a Drunken Sailor. (The last I found on a more recently recorded CD of Folksongs of the British Isles and bought it since I couldn't find the one I grew up with. It's great!)

The nausea is probably my liver. My liver is not a nice liver. I assumed you were being sarcastic. :) I've had chronic nausea for about 4 1/2 years. I'm ready for it to go away. I just want to be able to eat eggs. I don't think that's asking much. And if I could stop waking up at 3 AM with vomit in my mouth that would be nice too.

swellmomma Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 touch ups definitely needed in the room. TOok off th tape and screwed up the paint in a couple places. Still have more to do later this week, need to buy white paint for the trim around door and window, want to buy new outlet and lightswitch plate covers, and I need to remember where I put the white spray paint I bought so I can do the closet doors...I may need to buy more, it seems to be in one of those really safe places. But once the touch ups are done, I can at least scrub the floor and start moving stuff into the room.ETA: with an h :P 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
