It's Thursday aka almost Friday!

[bullygirl979]

How is everyone today?

I'm a little sleepy.

A new staff started this week and I don't think she is going to work out. I just don't get a good vibe about her and I swear I caught her looking at job sites this morning. I asked her if she had any concerns/issues/questions and she said no. I guess time will tell!

[partiallysunny]

It's my Friday!

We started clean up in the garage last night. I already bruised my ankle. So graceful.

[bullygirl979]

Did you start the demo, partiallysunny?

[doriswe]

I have about a billion things to do before Sunday and this whole working all day thing is really making getting of that stuff done hard!

XH was playing up super dad last night at DS's 6th grade orientation. He even questioned whether or not I had a plan for getting DS to school on the first day. Uh yeah, the bus. Then he asked if I knew where the bus stop is. Yup, the same place DD has been getting on the bus for the last 5 years.

Lastly, DS was so anxious last night he picked up a weird tick with his right hand. I think I need to get him a worry rock or something to carry with him. Poor little dude.

I cannot stay awake this morning. I almost fell asleep during our weekly conference call. Not good

[SwimDeep]

doriswe - I have never heard of a worry rock, but I have gone through phases where I needed the comfort of something special in my hand. Two of my brothers got to go to the Kennedy Space Center (they didn't even LIKE space...I was so jealous!). They knew how upset I was that I didn't get to go, and they brought back a pewter key chain of the ISS.

That key chain got me through some really anxious times in college. I still have it, but it's bent almost to the point of breaking so I don't carry it around anymore.

Anyway...random anecdote to second the idea for a worry rock!

That's awesome! I think it would really help DS, although I worry about him losing it since he's a space case

[cuddlyevil]

I've had a worry stone, they're cool. I think I need to get one for DD, but I'm not sure--she doesn't seem as anxious as she was.

I bought a new ladder and had to try it out, lol.

The garage had old wood in the rafters that we took out and stacked at the back of the house. Then I removed a few tiles from the roof just to see how difficult it would be.

We're hoping to get most of the roof down tomorrow by ourselves. Saturday is when the real fun begins.

What's Sunday?

Sorry DS was anxious

BFF's sister's baby shower, where I've offered to help set up/take down. It's across the boarder, so there's drive time involved and other crap. Plus Sunday is DD's birthday and I'm making her Starbucks inspired cupcakes

The cool thing about DS is he can identify it and can express himself pretty well.  He's also requesting to see his counselor.  He's a cool little dude .  Oh, and XH still "can't see" that he's having issues adjusting. 

[partiallysunny]

What happens Sunday doriswe? I have a worry stone. I glued a magnet on the back and have it on the fridge.

Edit: I'm slow at posting, sorry.

It's great he's asking to see his counselor. Poor guy.

That's because he is a douchenozzle.

I want french fries for lunch but all of my options here suck.

True story!

[mags]

Sitting in airport on our way back home to NJ. We had a great trip.
Tomorrow night Allman/Doobie show. Danilo comes home for weekend. I havent seen him since we went to Virginia in the begining of July.

Sunday Gianna goes back to school

[motzie]

I just finished our hurricane prep in case Erika comes our way.

We're still unpacking and regrouping from our big trip home. I'm ready to kill my MIL because once again I have to retrain A to not call me Mom. She's too little for that and it probably annoys me more than it should, but whatever.

While I was home a friend of mine committed suicide. We used to work together and I hadn't seen him in a few years but he was also home visiting. He went missing and they found him a few days later in the woods. It was just a few miles from my IL's, which is crazy because they are in the middle of nowhere. It makes me sad for his family. And sad for him that he felt the need to do that. He was a cool guy that made everyone happy.

[cuddlyevil]

I'm sorry motzie

[bullygirl979]

That's really sad, motzie.

[spindle92]

So sorry motzie.

I am in my 30s I call my Mom, Mom most of the time.  Still if things are bad and things and I call her to talk I always go Mum and she knows that somethings not good with me. 

[gault]

I'm so sorry, motz.

[cuddlyevil]

I get Mom or Mama. I'm 39 and my Mom gets "Mom" or "Ma".

[bullygirl979]

I just found out my godmother died. She was a spitfire of a lady. Golfed 18 holes until she was in her mid 80's. I want to be like her when I grow up.

[cuddlyevil]

I'm sorry bullygirl979
