JoJosMom Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Belated thanks for the :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: . (DD got treated badly by a "friend." [Hmm, I wonder why said "friend" has no other friends than DD?] Watching my baby hurt hurts. A lot.) :grouphug: :grouphug: for Tex. (One for now, one for the bank.)

Ellie Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Cranky? I am totally annoyed for you. Here, let me finish your rant for you: Do these people call you up and ask if they last breathed in? or was it out? Or could you help them because they cannot breathe for themselves? (Ok, I guess it was thoughtful of DH to want to give you a little warning before you got home, and if he waited until the massage was over to text you, then he gets bonus points for sensitivity.) :grouphug: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: I'm totally annoyed, as well. Sheesh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I was up all night stressed about the whole workout/bible/whole90 thing and I was wondering what the h*ll was going through my head when I signed up for that! Well do you know what was going through my head? Narcotics. Lots and lots of hard core drugs. I would not volunteer for all of that! I'm fat! I'm not putting myself down here, but do you know why fat people are fat? Because they're lazy and like pizza. I would LOVE to be the person that did all of that, but I don't want to be the person that has to do all of that. That's crazy! And you know what else? I don't know what else. I'm just throwing a fit. Now I'm intimidated and embarrassed. I think I need food. The coffee and Flintstones vitamin I took didn't really cut it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll revert. It's a complete change or none at all. There are more changes you're not seeing, but they aren't hard, just different for the sake of change. Daily swimming in the mornings, school earlier, guitar MWF, drawing TTH. I don't have the schedule down yet but we needed change as the kids are growing and changing and have different needs, and we're in need of a change. Our diets and fitness habits have desperately slipped and starting Monday Matt will work M-F for 8 hours instead of Wednesday-Saturday for 10 hours so the timing is absolute perfection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our diets and fitness habits have desperately slipped and starting Monday Matt will work M-F for 8 hours instead of Wednesday-Saturday for 10 hours so the timing is absolute perfection. Ok, I actually totally understand this, as I often have to start everything at once (although I know better). If I do a little at a time, everything else just slips. It just doesn't work very well. The drawback is, if I don't get everything right, it's easier to quit. (for me) A schedule used to work for me. Then I got dd#2. :lol: She does thrive on routine though, so making a big change will be easier. It is also perfect timing for us as dh is working and we don't have the tv issue going anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I am so tired. My legitimate needs and the family's legitimate needs clash and guess whose needs get trashed? Not on purpose at all. It's more a matter of me needing a little hermit bungalow by myself in order for my needs to be met and well, I chose to get married and have kids. And I'm glad that I did. Except that it isn't so good for my health. What I can do is get rid of everyone for the morning (done) and try to nap (going to do in a second). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

againstthegrain Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 No canned tomatoes or tomato sauce? Nope, used my last red sauce of any kind last night.

Slache Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I did not know you could buy shredded cheese. I always buy the same staples. It makes grocery shopping easier.

I spilled some water on my books the other day and shouted "dammit" with ds12 in the room. Fortunately, he has heard that before. I never curse in front of the kids, but I'm having a hard week....(it was the day of the syrup spill). I have planned and written a syllabus for the first week of my thirty-two week high school English class. I am tearing it up, I tell you! Matt's done the grocery shopping for years. It's easier for him to go alone. If I go it's to get odd things because he sucks at that and cheese is not odd. Pepper jack at winco, mozzarella and cheddar at Costco. For years.
