Oh, (((
Harmony)))... I can just HEAR your dh right now, b/c those are the same kind of responses I get from dh when he gets frustrated w/ds about something. I'm very slowly beginning to learn however, that usually dh just has to have his "come apart" and then if I just let him rant and rave for a while, he'll be fine and we'll do whatever it was we needed to do to begin with. I hope your dh comes around, too, without driving you crazy in the meantime.
Well, I am ready for longer days again. Our really cold weather doesn't usually set in until Jan & Feb, though, and I don't care how long it is till sunset, when it is freezing cold, I'm pretty grouchy. (I can be pretty grouchy when it hits 90 degrees, too, so I guess I'm just a year-round grouch!
)
I meant to say earlier: BIG WTG,
OKAY!!! I am impressed!!! I wish I'd had you dealing w/Sears for me!
* All vacuuming is done, for living areas & our bedroom/bathroom. Didn't touch the study, guest room, or ds's old room. I feel sooo sooo sooo much better now. I love my vacuum cleaner. DH said, "Just don't loan it out to ANYONE again!" I will be happy to comply.
Harmony -- you may have mentioned this earlier -- but is it just too difficult to get both daughters to your house over the weekend? But maybe it's just easier for you & dh to travel, rather than having them pack up grandkids & everything.
Happy Hanukkah,
Twins!
So glad to hear
Mr. Sunny is doing so much better!
Kathryn, I can't read my ddad AT ALL. He is definitely a perfectionist... and expected nothing short of perfection from me, for the most part... and if he sees something that needs improvement, he is quick to offer his suggestion.
(And yes... I realize I am describing myself here, unfortunately.) He can also be a little bit moody and quick-tempered... sooo I spent a lot of my childhood & teen years walking on eggshells, you know? But OTOH, he can be a lot of fun, there is nothing he wouldn't try to do to help someone in need, he is very dedicated to his church, and his friends love him sooo much. He and my mom have some of the most loyal, time-tested, devoted friends I could ever imagine.
Anyway, it WAS really nice to hear what he had said to dmom about me.
You know, when she started talking about him seeing me on the way to church, my first thought was, "I bet he didn't like the fact that I was wearing pants to Sunday morning worship." So yeah... I have really gotten waaay too paranoid where he is concerned.Nursing home visit was nice. I saw my Sunday School teacher -- she is actually 98!!! Enjoyed talking with her -- her mind is still really good. Her granddaughter had to tell her my name, but I think she knew who I was -- just couldn't put the name with face -- which happens to me ALL the time w/former students, so I certainly don't begrudge her that, LOL.
DS & ddil went out to eat with us afterwards and we had a good time.
Planning...
Tomorrow, I have to
[ ] deliver bday gift to dniece
[ ] attend funeral visitation w/dh & ds
[ ] go to drug store for dfil rx
Before Saturday morning, I have to
[ ] wrap presents
[ ] bake cookies
[ ] go to bank for cash I'm giving w/a few presents
[ ] go to theater & get gift card for dbil
[ ] help dmom w/peeling & slicing fruit for fruit salad & whatever misc tasks I can do for her
And I would also like to
[ ] reconcile bank statement which arrived Saturday
[ ] catch up on laundry
[ ] have all grades in computer
So... maybe y'all can help keep me on task!
Meant to add -- thanks for the LOL,
Harriet.
Maybe it was a CARPENTER.
ROFLOL.
