Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

[Wannabefree]

!!!!!!!!! That is just too stinkin cute!! What sweet kids, but you can keep em, because I know what they all grow into in a couple years!! Mine reminded me last night why I dare not want any more. Teen years are upon me yet again, and at 13 I already want to sent her to boarding school :/

We were making up Christmas baskets last night for family, and she popped off about "Nobody wants this junk anyway, they'd rather have storebought gifts!" all because she didn't want to help Why does this particular age have to be so rotten and snotty?!?! Anyway, we then forced the little sour puss to help She is getting on my nerves Hope she wakes up on the RIGHT side of the bed this morning or she'll be stuck in her room for the duration of the party so as not to ooze her stanky attitude all over everyone else's good time.

This is how I feel today ---->

I'll go ahead and post this, hoping you'll still be here....

Riddle me this batman, since you have a teenage DD as do I - now this is sensitive, but since when is the monthly visit an excuse to be a raging pain in the butt to everyone one in the house?

Yeah, I got my hands full.

Yeah every 13 yr old girl I know picks up that uberstupid line from other girls at school It's mostly whiney crap, but do keep a close eye on whether she is ACTUALLY in pain from cramps or not. Those can be VERY very bad, even with products like Pamprin and Midol available. I just generally ask my DD ahead of time if she'd like to go shopping, and if she says all perky "Sure where we going?" I tell her get her chores done and I'll let her know when they are complete, but if she says "Nah, I really don't feel like walking that much" etc. I give her a Pamprin and tell her to get her chores done when she feels up to it and I don't bother her about it too much, and give her space. That's mean I know, but it gives me a feel for how she REALLY feels, because lots of times they simply WILL NOT be honest, and that is the ONLY way to tell!

If she is being especially crabby.....make her take a nap!! She'll think you are treating her like a baby, but she will secretly be enjoying the break. While fussing comes out her mouth and she'll never SAY the words...she'll be thanking you, as will EVERYONE ELSE!!!


Oh and I will keep up at the library for sure!! I tend to go to town at least once a week. I'm hoping hubs check will get here today so I can just go pay the stupid thing and be done with it, but......well Christmas has set it back a bit I'm thinking. They only give 5 days to get the bill paid before they come shut you down!!!! Trigger happy morons...doesn't even matter if you have toddlers in the home around here :/ I reeeeeeally don't wanna have to put up with DD and her skitzophrenic overdramatizing over this so...hope with me, for that gubament check

Here a little support.

Now with regards to the DD, as soon as the wife left for work, the attitude started again. My response was a little harsh, but I asked her if she would act like this if she was the President - Look out Iran, I am soooo not in the mood for your BS this week either shut down the nuke program or I will shut it down for you.... Then she wants a favor!!!! I said no, because of the way she is acting. Things are a little calmer right now.

Jamie, it'll get better when she's 30 Sounds like we have the same little tyrant that lives within our walls I try to cherish every moment that they live with me...but uh...then I have those days where I can't wait until they are 18 and I go outside with my big boots on and practice kicking Tomorrow is a new day

 

[FarmerJamie]

How the heck are you doing today?

 

[Wannabefree]

How the heck are you doing today?

About to go bounce my head off a brick wall like this.. And you?

Seriously...still waiting on the check and trying to figure out if even then I will be able to pay the stupid light bill I need feed, have a $55 bill due, a $50 bill due, a $250 bill due, need gas in the car, and a $300 check coming :/ Uhhh..... Obama doesn't pay well

I'm getting annoyed and it generally takes a lot to make me annoyed....but I am soooo almost on it AND THE MAIL IS LATE!!!!




ETA: Sorry bout the mini rant, but wanted to add some sunshine to my post...the DD...is SANE today!!!! +1 now I feel better

I'm not going to complain, I seem to remember something about smiting....

There you go, we can just now start calling you "Sunshine". I think that fits.

I'm trying to get motivated to do something around here, I just don't know where to start.

I've been where you are, hang in there.

oh, i really am good, just had a moment there where I wanted to blow something up...think I may go find an old paint can or something and see if I can blow another hole in my burn barrel We really need a splodey icon huh? Like a little bomb smilie thats face erupts into and evil grin and the goes BOOOOOOM !! That could come in handy

I got motivated this morning...and I have since lost my direction :/ I got chickens done, waterers washed, picked up a bunch of stuff out of the back yard that needed to be tossed. Cleaned up some empty cages I have laying around back there, hosed the back deck off, carried out hot water to refill everything, built a huge roaring fire, gathered some wood and kindling, collected eggs, switched some birds around in my pens, and cooked a big lunch, now.....I just don't wanna do anything else, but has a LOTS left to do :/

I'm supposed to be sending out a replacement shipment of eggs today.......but I can't until we get the check

Fine, consider the hugs revoked

I need to go downstairs and sort through the canning pantry before I can begin planning the garden. The wife is too overwhelmed with that section of the basement right now. I'm tired of this snow.
