Ever feel lonely when you dont have any PM's waiting for you?

NY I am know what you mean about having to have all of that done before you can cook! I remember those days. I had a job in food service at a college for most of Raymond's growing up years so I cheated most days. The lunch cook loved Raymond and she knew what he liked so she would always make a small pan extra, wrap it and put it in a special spot for me to take home. I was the supper cook and off by 6 so alot of times I would dish us each up a plate with extra for left overs. So all I had to do was pick him up from hos Dads, go home and microwave it. THEN I would get caught up on everything. Then I lived in town just blocks from where I worked Here I worked in a drug store in town, had 15 minutes to get home, then pick up after everyone, cook dinner, do the dishes

Boy, do I feel blessed for the turn my life has taken! By the time hubby gets home I have most of the work done, supper on the table AND the best part?? Raymond is old enough to do the dishes!!!

Edited to add, hey I hate to shop but if I could I would go with you

Wednesdays are our busiest days at our house-out of up at 6-bring both girls to different schools-me making it to work by 7:30-thank goodness Im a boss and can be a few minutes late each day! Today I have to pick up SIL-she works where I do to-shes going through some serious panic attack issues and now cant drive-si I get her and Im her shrink too..poor thing. work my butt off! then race to get girls at 2 different schools-make it home by 5pm-thinkabout what the heck im throwing to gether for dinner-start it rush down to chickens for warm water and more food-back to house wrap up dinner then house chores-then pass out on sleepy pills! start all over again!
That was awesome about Raymond and school lunches and such-you were very blessed and still are My DD's are old enough to do dishes now too..If and only if I have a good pair of dish gloves-they will not touch them unless I have some. They do the vacuumming too if I beg enough-my favorite term or phrase is make sure you get the " nooks and crannies too" they hate that but it kills me to have the hosue vacuumed and al the corners have crud !! ewww...

I love going shopping but when money is tight I hate it haha... I have to get stocking stuffers and bras and undies for them pets stores-michaels craft store..back by 4pm for girls and then off to our 7pm meeting 25 miles into town until 9;30 -I fall asleep almost everytime by 8 in front of everyone-Im not embarassed they know Im a closet narcaleptic!! LOL...

Good Morning!

NY--I need to do some shopping too, just swing by here and get me and we will finish up together! I am like you, I hate to go by myself and I have decided Hubby has to at least do some of the shopping with me. I did it by myself for a long time, but he is doing better helping me in the last few years. We are going either tonight or tomorrow night. We have Christmas at his parent's house Saturday and it needs to be done by then.

I agree with having to have everything in order to start cooking. (even if it is in a frozen state or box when I start!) My other peeve is when I get it done and there is no one to eat it. They are running late, busy with something else, etc. Therefore, I wait until everyone is settled before I start which makes most meals much later in the evening than I like for it to be. But, we are all busy, so we compromise. Btw, after most days at work, I would stop for a beer too!

rirluvr--I should be a Chief's fan like my mom and sis are, but I just really don't like them at all. They absolutely hate the Raiders, but while watching in the last several years I have decided that I really like Janikowski. There is something about that bad boy attitude that I like. They also have several other players I enjoy watching. Besides, being a Raiders fan really drives my sister crazy!! And I knew those last two songs!!

NY with our time difference you are well in to your day by now. I hope it is going good. I hate those rushed days too! I am sorry to hear your SIL is going through such a bad time. It is so sweet of you to help her , especially when you are knee deep in your own worries.

to you both.

Good morning Michelle!

I hate to shop. It stress me out, the people. the decisions, the $

Even when $ wasn't an issue I would just worry myself sick about whether I was buying the right thing. Shopping is stressful enough, then, you want me to take ....................a MAN!!! Are you out of your mind!!??? On the rare occasion that I am in the mood to some browsing I prefer to go alone. I can spend 2 hours in the Thrift store!!

 

[thechickenchick]

I am headed to town here in an hour or so. Yes! You read that right! Hubby is at work, and I am leaving the house

I know it doesn't happen very darn often does it?! I have to mail a few packages, yea, the post office!!

I also have to stop by my MIL and run a couple of errands. Then I am meeting a friend for lunch. I have mentioned Brenda before. We "do" lunch every other month or so and always for our birthdays. This will be my only chance to see her before Christmas. I made her a few egg ornaments. I think she will like them. Her family raised Chickens when she was young and she always enjoys seeing mine the 2 time a year they make it out here!!

Sounds like a wonderful day. Have a good time!

I am sure she will love the ornaments!

I am taking hubby shopping this one time to help pick out gifts for HIS family and give me some ideas for Colton. Destiny and I do the rest on our own. He really does pretty good, but sometimes gets carried away, so I have to keep him under my thumb! I really need him to pick out for his nephews, you know, the ones we only see once a year and know nothing about? I bought them Mizzou t-shirts, not sure if they care for them, but you know me and my Tigers! Tonna and I are going again sometime this weekend to do some more shopping. I can't make things easy and get everything at once!
