Michelle- VENT AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad we all have a place that we CAN vent!!! I hope that you get to relax some, on you trip this weekend, I think it'll be a blast for you!!! -Jamie

Well, I've had better days but I'll make it through. It's all mental nothing seriously wrong. Just very frustrated with my husband and older kids. Yesterday I gave my son 2 simple things to do....one being take some things out of the car from the weekend...not too difficult. The other was to finish up the trim on the neighbors lawn which he gets paid $30 to do.....should be very willing to do this since she's paying him. I had to send him out 3 times to finish the trim.....and the car NEVER got done...then he wanted me to drive him to his friends....NOT. My daughter graduated in June and still to this day has not sent in her college application nor called to make an appt to go up there. I told her yesterday if she doesn't get into school in the fall then she can start paying us rent or move out.....only way to get this kid motivated I think. Last night I told my son before he left for summer school this morning I needed him to take out the garbage so it's out before they come pick it up. Well, I just did that myself. My husband...well he's just plain lazy.....he did nothing yesterday. I was busy putting away groceries etc... and packing Sadie's bag for camping at the end of the week and he sat on his hind end on the couch. I asked 4 times for him to put Sadie to bed. Well I ended up putting her to bed when I went because he still hadnt' done it. I lost my voice last weekend and it's still pretty horse.........he never ever stops what he's watching on tv or listening to on the radio in the car to actually listen to what I'm saying or asking him. He then wants me to repeat it arggggggggg that's going to help my voice. I feel so unappreciated by him lately....I have been working 10 hr days and get no help around here. Yesterday this is what my day consisted of......5am wake up start work at 5:30...took a break from 9:30 to 11:30 to take care of Sadie. 11:30 to 5:30..work....then I cooked dinner.....left immediately with Sadie...went to argue about our cell phone bill, went to Shopko for a few things, went shopping at Sam's Club for camping stuff for this weekend....came home....changed Sadie's diaper and put on jammies.....packed her bag for the weekend, put away all the stuff from the stores....organized everything for church softball tonight.....then ended up putting Sadie to bed and dropped in myself at around 11pm. I was then again up at 5 am ready to do it all over again. I seriously get up at 5 am every day and run until I drop in bed at about 11pm. I told him this morning I'm running away. Of course it probably doesn't help that I'm probably going to start my period any day now LOL. Ok now I feel a bit better....thanks for the vent.

Good evening Ladies!! It was a crazy day at work today so I'm just now getting a chance to say HI. Michelle, I'm sorry to hear J is sick today. I hope he is feeling better. I hope you were able to get some rest yourself. I love the picture you posted on the preggo board of Baby Levi! One step at a time honey. Just hold on to your faith and know many people are still praying for him, Mike, Steph, you and the rest of your family. Nothing exciting planned for tonight. My BIL made it here Saturday morning to start work on our house. Lord help me, the man is driving me crazy already! lol I love my in-laws but my one BIL (the one doing the work) is really high strung and will talk from the time his eyes open in the morning until the time they close at night. Plus he feels the need to talk at the top of his lungs when we are just having a casual conversation. I may need a few drinks by time the house is finally done. LOL Hope everyone has a good evening with the family! Hugs Teresa

Ok only reason it's a happy Monday is cuz there's only 3 more days left to this work week hehehe. We had a great weekend...my son, Sadie, and I went to southern MN to my nephews grad party. Frist on Fri night we spent some time here in town with Sadie's godparents...lots of fun. We left early Sat morning to go visit my sisters. We went to my sisters for a bit then headed out to do a bit of shopping at the outlet mall before going to the party. Didn't find much but it was nice time just the 3 of us together. The party was fun...only rained a bit. Sadie decided she wanted to eat all the ice from the pop...my sister had a small blow up pool with ice soda, and water in it. I think she almost frost bit her hands digging in there all day. She was absolutely filthy by the time we went back to my sisters. She had to have a bath and then we sat out in the back yard around a campfire. It was so nice just to relax with friends and family. We figured out all our food plans for this coming weekends camping trips. After I got home yesterday I went grocery shopping....ahhh it gets to be more and more every time I go. I spent over $200 and it still seems we don't have anything lol. Tonight I'll go shopping at Sam's club to get more stuff for the camping trip. I can't wait to leave for that on Friday.

Me too!!!!! That SUCKS, that they restricted your access!!! About the only time & I get the time to come on this site, it is when I am at work!!! -Jamie
