Monday MC

Any parent with an adult child living at home has my complete sympathy. lol  I guess it's pointless to add that any adult child that came back to live with me would be so busy he or she wouldn't have time to worry about what I was doing.  I know, I know.  Easy for me to say. lol

I need Dawn to call our health insurance for me. lol 

We have so many jobs going on and so much equipment has had to be back ordered.  Sheesh.  You'd think the distributors might have anticipated needing some air conditioning equipment here in Texas, in the summer. 

Jackie??  Could I send you MY adult DS???  He's an absolute expert on everything that is wrong with me.....including the fact that I use too much ice when he is asked to bring a new bag in from the freezer!  And I REALLY use way too much ice when he's asked to start more ice making!  One night when Todd was gone and he was going on and on and on about me consuming too much ice, too much this, too much that, I just looked at him and asked him if I do ANYTHING right in his mind.  He didn't have an answer for that.  Some days I think he flat out hates me, others I think he just doesn't like me one bit.

Glenda, it's so funny (not really) how adult kids seem to become experts and feel free to criticize their pitiful parents who obviously can barely manage to dress themselves every day.

I told him he was welcome to come to my house, although with my ds at home now that blows any privacy we have. 

I totally forgot about your DS being there now. Yeah, I'd go to him or meet up somewhere. Neither of you need that added stress.

My boss said he'd be later this afternoon.  He asked if I'd have time to proofread a couple of memos and of course I said no problem. Unfortunately, he usually doesn't show up until the end of the day and by then neither my brain or my eyes are working really well.

 I can't believe it's Monday already. I love having DH around on the weekends. We had a good weekend, lots of time outside. Poor Willa seems to have my blood - the bugs LOVE her. She has so many mosquito and deer fly bites. I feel so bad for her. It is a bit comical though because she has one right at the top of her butt crack. She's been walking around scratching like an old man.

Country fest is finally over today. This town gets so crazy with drunk tourists driving huge campers. Occasionally we can hear the music outside our house. Saturday night when we came home from MIL's, Willa was standing in the driveway dancing.

 whew its been a busy day.  Luckily Bugsy has slept all day - it would appear - so now that I have a peaceful moment to remember my name he is running around the house doing zoomies.  I'm.not.even.going.to.look.

Joyce that is insane about he parking - we are lucky here in that pretty much parking is silly cheap, I'm always horrified when I fly to JFK and its $4-8 for the first hour and that is the cheap stuff.  At least they took debit cards

Tina if you want to see him go to him and do so without worrying about anything - also keep on DS so that he will find it my nicer to live elsewhere. I so often see parents making life super easy for their boomerang adult children and then scratching their heads why the kids don't move out.

Old news on FB but it is our anniversary today - 13th. It just doesn't seem that long ago but so much has changed.  DH brought me some beautiful roses and we are going out for dinner later.  Something simple for a Monday.

I think it's pretty common for teenagers to go through a stage where their parents just get as dumb as a box of rocks.  This usually clears up about the time the child reaches 20 or so.  Worked like a charm with our oldest son.  THIS boy though, well, lets just say that the older HE gets, the stupider I get.

Oooh, that's been part of my plot all along - making DS want to move out again.  He had it easy as a teen; now he needs to contribute financially since I can't do it alone with as much as he eats.  Besides, I gave him one year tops.

To be fair, he is upset and almost embarrassed that he had to ask to come home because he feels like a failure.

That may be part of my sons issue too Tina.  But, it's been over 10 years already!!  Get OVER it!!  LOL!

I took on the neighbor's 3 kids every other MOnday.  Usually when they wander over here and I am not 'officially' in charge, they all hang out, play nice, watch movies, play toys, etc.  Not a big deal.  TOday though, when I'm "officially'" in charge of htem...

Kapow! They all go running in different directions and turn a deaf ear to me. Eek!  I may have bitten off more than i can chew but their little family has a really sad, sad story, so I don't mind too much. 

I put the dogs outside, and to their relief with the sudden infiltration of children, they are napping on teh patio. LOL

C'moooon 4pm!!

Aw come on!  I use TOO MUCH ICE??????? It's not like I'm asking him to run out and buy me ice!  I make it in the deep freeze a couple times a day to keep a good supply.  Ten trays, filled twice a day.  Once in a blue moon he's asked to refill the trays, but usually the most he's asked to do is bring in another bag.  It is HOT here, and very humid and I drink a lot under normal circumstances.  When I'm sweating out everything I drink as quick as I can drink it.......and, unless I have LOTS of ice and the drink is VERY cold, it does NOT quench my thirst but makes me feel thirstier.  I don't know how people can drink anything that hasn't been chilled.  It does nothing for me.  ICE for goodness sakes.  It's not like I'm smoking too much weed, or shooting up too much heroin....I'm using too much freaking ICE!!!

And don't forget, I don't discipline my dogs.  He BITE Theo!!  Wants to beat the others.  Unfortunately, this DS inherited the sperm donors belief that HE is right about absolutely everything and that the rest of the world is wrong.

Too much ICE!!!  (muttering and shaking head in disbelief!)

Happy anniversary! I saw your post on fb, but apparently my brain is deader than I thought and it didn't register until I read this!

I think I'm going to go back to the doctor's tomorrow. This head / ear / dizziness thing is not getting better and today all I want to do is sleep.

 If I dared to talk to my parents that way, which I never would. Especially living in their house, watch out.

Thank you.  We're talking about FROZEN WATER here!  LOL!!!

Tonight I was probably mean.  Todd said he'd go get DS for dinner.  I said, didn't you tell him it was almost ready??  Yeah, told him 10 minutes, 30 minutes ago.  Well, then, says I, he can reheat his food when he decides to bless us with his presence.  We should not have to go out and beg him to come eat.

He sleeps in the shop.  OK fine.  But, unless he wants coffee or something to eat, we just don't see him.  DS takes antisocial behavior to a whole new level!

I think I'm getting (gasp) OLD.  By this time of night, I'm whipped! 

He hangs out in the barn allllll day.
