Babs...I am so sorry for your pups! I hope things get better soon for you. My sister has insurance for her dog. I think she pays about $700 per year. She said it has helped as her pup has had many problems.

Congrats

Great job, Action.

Congrats Jenny.

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't tell my chiropractor but he knew because I didn't stink

Lol..thanks for that

We are always here for you, Evelyn.

Hi KS! Really glad to see you!

Don't smoke Evelyn....Deep breaths and calming thoughts.

I love the tent idea! I would so put the girls in it if they weren't in school right now. They would love it! We were planning on borrowing a travel trailer if all the kids were going to be here but we didn't really know until last minute and there just wasn't time to go get it. It's going to be a bit crowded but hoping for nice weather to stick around so we can hang out outside!

Oh Drama queen...u bet. My 10 yo SD asked her dad last night,, "Daddy, she hit me. Why aren't you yelling at her?" He said, "I can't really yell at her unless I see her hit you after the other day." The other day the 10yo slapped HERSELF, very loudly so everyone could hear and yelled "OUCH...don't hit me!!" She didn't realize her dad was standing there watching her. That was just too funny.

Maybe everyday this week....we will see....whatever it takes, right?

Is there a dislike button? MQ, I love your wife already...my hubby won't wear flip flops...which I am probably grateful for. But if he did what you did...he might be sleeping in the trailer.

That is so cute! I would never have guessed you were a GGP. Thank you all! Things are ok now. All kids are in bed. It's almost 11pm so obviously I am not walking anywhere. I would look like an idiot, right? Going to finish folding the laundry (it's so late bc all pink eye laundry had to be done first ((bedding, towels, etc)) ...and hubby turned off the water to the washer yesterday which I didn't know until 1 hour AFTER I started it). Yes I will be glad when this day is over and I may even let the hubby get up early to take the girls to school.

I know...my sister has already stressed this very much and I am grateful for that. It's just a really tight place for a lot of people so I try to make it as comfortable for everyone as possible. Let's hope sissy is ok with being woken up at 6am (or ealier) every weekday. Oh and did I mention that I got hubby's sandals in the mail today and I think they are too small. He says no so we are keeping them. And one of the dogs is in full blown heat. So now the male dog (who got nuetered too late...because he was a stray) wants to rape her and she is ok with that? (normally she would kick your a$$ but she likes him for some reason and cries ALL DAY LONG). No hubby...don't get your dogs fixed. They are only 7+ years old but yeah...we are going to breed them. Really?

Where is the manual? Bc to go from 0 kids to teenagers really isn't fair! I was a teenager once, so I would think that would give me an advantage, but no. I feel like that was too long ago. Good thing is...I was concerned about her losing respect and not following rules. Tonight...she showered (which she always refuses to do) and went to bed (again...must be told several times every night). This tells me either: She knows she did wrong and is scared. she is on drugs. She claims she was at church so let's hope for the best.

I have spoken to my sister...so she knows. She knows when I quit...my relapses...they both smoke and I felt so prepared to be around it but these last few days have just put me over the edge. Just needed to vent. You guys may get more of that and I am sorry!

Julie...can you write a book? and fast?

I say mini because I have had 2.5 glasses of wine and it's a rule not to drive after that...even if it is all back roads and less than a mile. But am I willing to take the dog for a really long walk? Not sure. Family coming in tomorrow. Just spent all day trying to get things presentable around here and make things comfortable for EVERYONE. Not planned, but there will now be the four stepdaughters, me and hubby, and my sister and my dad in our 2 bedroom 1 bath 640sq ft house. A little stressful. Just nothing is going right today. Drop the girls off this morning at school (35 minutes away). Get a call halfway home. Littlest has pink eye. Turn around and drive back and get her. Can't get Dr. appt. till late afternoon. (also has to go to dr. over half hour away). Thank you, school nurse. You are an idiot. Like I said...she had something stuck in her eye and eyedrops would have been fine. No pink eye. Can't get everything done for family as I procrastinated (as usual) and had to drive around for hours today. We finally get home around 5pm and there is constant fighting. Hubby just sits there and watches. R u kidding me? Defiant teenager doesn't come home. Really? You are already grounded. Can't even post the rest of the story but OMG! Crazy. I know none of these things are the end of the world and I know that a cig will not fix any of them but if I had one of those cig machines beside me right now...I would probably get some.

Rachael... I am so sorry about your day. Try not to stress too much. At my last visit to the OBGYN, I also had concerns...but everything came back ok. And when I went last year, I kept getting bills for the same amount. I thought I had already paid it and called the doctor's office to see if I had to pay more. She told me to ignore the bill. Then I started getting calls from a creditor. Turns out we were both talking about different bills for the same visit that were the same amount. I was so mad that I had to pay that much again! I hope you can get all of your billing info worked out. It sounds to me like it's not your fault, especially if you have not received any mail or phone calls. That's crazy!
