That sounds like a right good time!

I need to figure out ways to get stuff to CR but it'll have to wait until haying and fairs are over.

Julia, good possibility that Toni and I could stop by and pick up whatever is close to pavement/driveway

since you are not far out of the way we'd have to go to get to CR

target day so far seems to be Wednesday

It's stuff from my BIL and we've only talked about it once; it takes substantially more discussion than that around here. Especially in late summer when he's been haying since April and is pretty much putting one foot in front of the other and not thinking about much except making it until bedtime.

too right! am often embarrassed to say that my dad graduated from U of O ... BUT, he would flunk out there, go up to OSU, get his grades up taking courses HE liked, then back to UO where his mother dictated what he'd take

went to "Orgy State" myself for 4 years, but finished up at UDub ... changed majors several times, that's why it took me 13 years to get a bachelors' degree ...

so, I'm a Tiger(UOP)/Beaver(ARJC)/Beaver(OSU)/Triton(ECC)/Husky(UW)/Horizonette(HU)

If I only knew!

DH texted me on my way home yesterday after a full long day of harvesting and Farmers Markets and food shopping and said "he was hungry for KFC, they had a sale and if I felt like it to pick up a KFC bucket, but NO BIG DEAL if I couldn't do it, just if you are around the KFC". I was 10 minutes from home and 20 minutes from the KFC in the opposite direction so opted not to go since I had just left Costco and had a bunch of other food I could fix for dinner and it was NO BIG DEAL. I wish I had known that "no big deal if you couldn't do it" meant "all you think about is yourself" and "I'm not waiting for you to fix dinner". I would have turned around and went to the KFC. As soon as I got home he immediately took off back to Gig Harbor, wasting $8 in gas to get a bucket of chicken that was on sale (but not after the cost of wasted gas) telling me he wouldn't be doing it if I didn't just think about myself all the time. Isn't storming off to get the bucket of chicken kind of selfish too? Besides, I was all ready to cook a home made meal and he just wants his freaking chicken!!!!!

And today its all my fault that there is no money to pay the mortgage because Group Health hasn't turned in the paper work for the short term disability from his shoulder surgery yet. The last time we applied for the disability I took care of the paperwork since he was too sick in the hospital and we got the insurance payment with in a few weeks. So whats the problem? Can't he fill out paper work properly? Already paid the mortgage from his checking since he didn't share this with me until after the mortgage was due! Not to mention the money we set aside for this surgery as a buffer was spent by him to cover the lawyer fees for his third DUI!!!!! And thats my fault?????? And I better come up with the money for the mortgage he says. Sorry, already coming out of your account where you have the tax refund you stole and kept to yourself. Just take the mortgage out of MY HALF!

OK, I'm done. This is the reason I have refrained from posting. I knew this was going to happen. Rustler, its all your fault now.

LOL, not really! but shoot, I was doing so good! Don't expect to hear from me for a while. I am in such PO mood it's not safe!

My 3 kids too are adopted - they are all siblings. And all 3 were exposed to drugs in utero. We have always talked very openly about drugs and how you easily they could get addicted. But still he tried it. I know at someday he will come around. right now I think he just needs to see what real life is about. Younger kids seem fine with all that is going on...they are doing well. Less stress and pressure to home.

I want to thank everyone for your prayers and thoughts.

ETA: I did this from my cell phone and it does not make sense.

Teresa:
We have two siblings that we adopted. The other is our 20 year old who just had the seizure and nearly died. She was a preemie, probably due to the amount of drugs and alcohol she was subjected to. They both have very typical FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) behaviors that are not easy to deal with. We have three older bio kids, and thought we were pretty darn good parents, until we experienced these two! We adore them, but they are very high maintenance children, and we may never have an empty nest.

BTW, my maternal grandma grew up in Omak, oldest of 6 kids, and lived in an old farmhouse up on the hill above town. Her dad died on that hill when she was 14. We visited relatives there while I was growing up, and now my in-laws live there, just a few doors down from where my grandma grew up. We will probably be over to visit them sometime this summer.

Ya know I just might have whispered it to ya but you let it slip that you are going "ON VACATION" and to Idaho. Gee I wonder where ??? I know it wouldn't be Saint Anthony dunes.

Sorry, no dunes for us. We are going to Biose. It supposedly has the biggest water park in the PNW. We promised the kids if they read the whole Bible over a years time that we would take them to whatever water park they chose. So we checked all in the PNW and Boise won.
We have rented a house that has horses that can be ridden and groomed so the DDs are stoked! There are all sorts of other things to do as well. So we are going to make a week of it.
That's why I have been so scares on here lately. This is the first looooong trip we have ever taken with all the kids. Looks like 8-10 hours of drive time with potty stops and food breaks.
Packing for 8 people takes a lot of brain power! I can't believe I got it all to fit in the back of the car!
So, anyway, I'll probably be hit and miss for the next little while. Gonna be having fun in the sun!

I bet that would be silverwood. And given the length of yer trip will be nice give me plenty of chance to test all yer cickens and return any that I am not reeal fond of.
