yeah i dont care (or try not to) about thier rooms, but the living and dining rooms drive me Batty!
We've tried the "throwing away" but they know the stuff comes back, and I'm too cheap to actually throw away perfectly good stuff!!!
 
I know I haven't been on here for too long and this really isn't so much a vent as a hurt. My beloved grandmother passed away last Monday and it hurts like the dickens. She was 99 years old and 7 months. She always said she was going to live to be 100. I know she was ready to go, everything was starting to shut down. She was my "cooking mentor". She and my mother shared a room in an assisted living facility. It's been really hard trying to grieve and try to help my mother through this, she has dementia, which is another story. I just miss her so much. I do have all her cookbooks and hand-written recipes that she passed to me which is a comfort to read through them. I'm just really hurting right now.

Of course your hurting..I lost my mom several years ago and even tho she had the beginnings of dementia, I'd give the world to have her with me for just an hour. Look how long you got to be with your grandma and all you learned from her..Hold it close, the pain will lessen and then you can sit and go through her cookbooks and notes and enjoy what she left for you..Love your mom as always but give yourself a break from it now and then. It can just eat you up if you don't. Take care of you and you can take care of her..Good thoughts coming for all of you.

Me, too. I just took the stuff in bags and put it in the back of the van. Late that night, I hid it in the basement (like I do with Christmas presents). It's true that kids are very, very bright and it may take a while of having some of their favorite stuff gone to make them believers!

Susieq.......can i give you some wear worn advice?......your children are going to grow up before you know it and I'm including your daughter who stuffs toys up her nose.....this kid is a DC bonafide celebrity...........she's famous and doesn't know it............and she's a poster child......they will grow up before you know it and you will be so sad when your house is quiet again or if they get pregnant as in a woopsie and they still grow up.......you will always be saying goodbye no matter what.......enjoy them, and stumble over their toys, clothes, pets, father.......he does configure into some of this confusion though he's probably clueless.......your house will one day be quiet and you will be wondering at what happened......enjoy them now and take lots of picutres....god only gives them to you for a short while.........enjoy the noise and confusion.......and rant at the invonvenices......you're Mom for goodness sake...........that's your job..........
 
thank you expat you made me cry.....
I love 'em, we are all healthy, I shouldn't whine about toys.
:)
 
Thanks LPBeier

Sattie, I think what you need is a trip to the vet. I know they are costly but even phone them for advice. It could be age or an illness, but incontinance in dogs should not be taken litely. If I didn't have two of my own and wasn't so far away, I would definitely take him. Is he the one on your avatar? You should join our "fur babies" group.

It is an age thing. Sometimes he just goes and does not realize it. I dropped some of his food in his water and he drank all the water to get the food. So I knew this was coming. (My fault, but it still pees me off! :LOL:) Boots is around 15 or so years old and he is doing good for his age. The little dude in my avatar is Binks, my 5 year old Chihuahua. So what is this "fur babies" group you speak of??? How do I join?

Go to the quick links tab at the top of this page and click to lower the menu. Click on Social groups and then on the "furbabies" group. You can see who has joined, what we have talked about and our pet pictures. There will be a button to click if you would like to join. We would love to have you and anyone else with furry friends!
 
Why don't these dummy kids {not kids really, 21+} understand about drinking and driving!! I don't know for sure that is what happened, but, pretty sure. We have bits and pieces right now. Younger ds has 2 friends that were in a one vehicle wreck Satuday. The driver died:cry:
He was only 22 years old!! Omg, I can't even imagine what his parents are going through. The other was released from hospital, last night or this morning, not sure on his injuries yet.
I gripe about my kids and their stupidity, but, they are alive and I need to remember that!!!
 
DW, the kids, and I were at the Morton Arboretum this weekend enjoying their large outdoor kids area. It is designed entirely for kids, and staffed by people who spend the day showing the kids stuff and doing arts and crafts with them.
So on our way out, this guy and his wife are walking behind us, and he says, "See now, that is why I don't want kids, they completely change the marraige and take away from us and what we want!"
I turned around and said, "Thank you!"
He said, "For what?"
I said, "Not procreating!".
Grrrrr, if he doesn't like kids what was he doing in the kids section??
 
yep, we recently had 3 young ladies involved in a horrific crash two weeks ago.......they were trying to outrun another carload of young males ... it's the current popular sport.....jumped the curb and crashed into a tree and we have tons of trees in this area.....two of them died.....never saw so many flowers and memorials to their memories......nice girls supposedly had no alcohol or drugs in their systems either and all 3 had their seatbelts on........life is a crapshoot.......

Thank you for not procreating......you do realize you used a 3 syllable word with him.......probably didn't even know how to spell it in the first place......how funny.......
 
There was a study recently done on this, it showed that there is a part of the brain that controls decision making and that it does not fully develop until around age 24 or so.
I am thinking maybe it is time to up some of the age limits and restrict some driving privileges to things like work, school, sponsored events. I know in some states they now restrict the number of teenagers allowed in a vehicle at one time and they say it is working to reducing the number of accidents.
I know a lot of parents will actually fight these kinds of measures arguing you can't restrict their kids rights, but I would rather have my kid here complaining about restrictions then dead with all their so called rights intact!

What A Jerk!!!!
 
yes, Mav, TX is one of those states that has curtailed the driving law limits law involving minors.....they have increased the age limit and who can be in the car with you.........I still maintain that the number one reason outside of drugs is distraction by friends and switching the radio stations...........

I had read this too and I know first hand that there is a huge difference in maturity from age 16 to age 24! But we let 16 year old's drive. I've been lucky in that my kids home schooled so it wasn't a problem that I didn't let them drive til they were 18. Partly because we live in a very large city, I just don't think it is safe for kids to drive at an early age because they don't have the wisdom and judgment that they will have (hopefully) in a few years.
