Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.

and...for the win:
My I.P.'s are up here ( . )Y( . )
LOL
So before the meal arrived I turn to my niece and say grandma's gotta pee - to which she replies
Grandma needs another relative
So begrudgingly she rolls the Viking to the loo only to return minutes later saying that didn't work - huh?
She put her feet down and wouldn't go in the bathroom - hmm
So I pull out the box of See's and ask mom if she wants a piece - as her hand reaches for the candy I say - uh uh - not until you let L take you potty
Next words out of her mouth were
L, hurry up
Today is Friday already?
The list of things I am unable to do is growing...
1)Missed a morning trip across town, to/from.
2)Hubs had to take my chiropractor appointment, to/from on bike/bus.
3)Have an afternoon appointment for myself, trying an acupuncturist for pain.
4) .........
5).........
6) .........
7) pick up hubs from work 9:30 p.m.
Somethings gotta give.
Let us know how the acupuncture goes
Try and nap before the appointment
Can hubs uber home tonight ?
These frustrations are like any other day-he will be fine.
Cancel everything.
I hear you on the home ownership thing. If I don't end up staying in this house (my parents' home) after the MERP mess is all said and done, I fully plan on renting for the rest of my life. Someone else can handle the leaks, the roof replacements, the appliances needing to be replaced, the taxes, the insurance....
Thank you MsMadge, and Cwillie. I was thinking of not getting acupuncture until you spoke up. I will go. Guesing there is something to being calm prior.
You cannot get your stove and refrigerator fixed. You just can't.
Neither can I, but I am liking your revenge fantasies, that is...if his truck ever makes it to your driveway.....
Did you know the people came to take Cwillie's Mom to a permanent home today? Instead of respite, permanent.
Are you okay, Cwillie? Will check back with you later....you can let it all out right here.
Send, No repairs got done, of course!, but he did arrive late and tear up the kitchen and order parts.$$$. At least he put the stuff back and was nice...I almost feel guilty about the ex-lax plan...heehee.
Katie, I remember that too - before I moved in with Mom to care for her, I was renting my dream home. Gorgeous 100+ year old stone house in a small country town with hardwood floors, a massive country kitchen with an island and a big white farmhouse sink, tons of cabinet and counter space, a lovely deck and big front porch.....gosh I miss it. I won't even go into the details of this house, but suffice to say that the difference is like night and day. I'd never lived in a house that was just so ultimately "me" as that house was.
Cwillie, what a big change for you. There is still much you will be doing with advocating for your mother. I know it feels like you lost a friend but believe me, once you have rested up, you will feel much better.
Hello!
We had fresh popped popcorn tonight. That's about it for our fun Friday night. dH went to bed.
Can you use your kitchen? Is he coming back soon?
Susan, Where was this perfect house? Sounds like my dream home too.
Send, what did they do to you? Yikes!
Susan, that house sounds nice. My kitchen here has never been the strong spot of this place, but the view is nice at least. That would be so great, renting a nice house and letting the landlord worry about a broken oven, etc!
My oven is broken for over a year now-it has a weak starter and the gas company tagged it. But the stove top works. Because of finances, I now use a larger toaster oven, cheaper than the repairs. Gas rules however! Are you going to be baking when summer comes?
Not ignoring you, have answered you privately.
Ok then, today I get clean sheets-that's my only goal for now.
Well, Sharyn, if I do get out today, Go Yum!
Clean sheets on a Saturday night feel good - last week I washed the bed pad too
Where the heck did this heatwave come from ?
I was hoping to clean out the garage but it is too hot out there and with all the rain this year there are crazy bugs everywhere
I guess I at least need to deal with the wasp hut I noticed last night under the eave by the door
