I'm not gonna do the parent thing....

[T.H. Oughts]

It is 5.30 pm Staurday evening here right now. The kids are away for the weekend and the husband is out at Karate....

So with no kids at this time of day, when I am usally getting their dinner ready, I don't have to.

So I hired a movie, bought a HUGE bag of caramel popcorn and I'm gonna go do something I never get to do anymore at 5.30pm...

Relax......

Enjoy it while it lasts T.H. Oughts.

By the way, what movie did you rent?

 

[T.H. Oughts]

By the way, what movie did you rent?

The First Wives Club... I enjoyed it.

I have not seen it before.... I was told by my husband before when I wanted to rent it that it's a chick flick, so I always compromised and hired something we both would enjoy... not tonight....

Hell I'm sick of compromising...

 

[complicity]

Peace in MY time.

Absolutely....................................it just has to be done girl!

Cats are enough responsibility. I kill my plants.

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

Plants?

I Have Plastic Ones!

The Kid And The Cats And The Fish....It's A Grand Time!

 

[Laurel]

I think I could deal with plastic kids.

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

Silly Laurel!

I think I could deal with plastic kids.

LOL

They Are Not As Much Fun!

 

[Laurel]

Maybe not, but they're a lot quieter. And they obey.

Watching your own offspring come into this world is probably to tops of anything I have ever done. It is some really powerful medicine. Teenage years later, though, I am starting to hope that it is even more powerful medicine to watch them leave the nest. I have been thinking they need to explore more culturally diverse options though, and so I have inquired into a boarding school....in northern Mongolia!

Have You Ever Seen How Much A Freaking Parka Costs!

Parkas?

Hell, have you ever seen how much a 'homecoming' dress costs?

The wife commented the other day, that our food budget will be one-third when they finally get sick of us and 'find' their own way. Two can live cheaper than one...not four!

If I had known how expensive they would become...I would have sold them when they were cute

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

To The Gypsies! LOL

Or The Circus, Right?

LOL

Mongolia...cold...parkas...LOL

 

[erosman]

yea, I got your drift on the parkas the first time...I may have been born at night...but it wasn't last night


How many lovely years have you enjoyed your treasure, RNAB?


I made the comment yesterday, that I think somewhere around 10-12 yrs old is when the 'change' occurred for me. My business plan now, is to make them believe that there is 'no *#@*! place like home', so...logical conclusion...ANY PLACE! would be better!

I'm not sure it is working, though. I think I need to tighten the purse strings a bit. Hit them where it hurts. Eliminate the free lunch program!

I wish I had thought of that ten years ago...

It is good to just be alone and enjoy yourself sometimes. Hope you enjoyed to moment, and will have more time this weekend.

I love my kids to death, but sometimes I just need a break! When they start getting especially annoying, I tell them that I changed my name, and am not answering to "Mom" anymore, and I am not telling them the new name. Heh. At least it makes them laugh and stops the whining temporarily
