Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[orrpeople]

Lunch is packed, clothes are ready... Now all I need to is go to bed. But that means I'll have to get up for school in the morning, and, I DON'T WANNA GO! I'm not quite ready yet. DIL #3 is also employed by their local school district, and last weekend we were lamenting the end of summer. DS piped up and said, "You know, there are actually people who have to work ALL YEAR." (He being one of them.) We just gasped in mock horror. OK, done whining for the night. Going to go to bed now. Good night, everyone!

Have a great first day and an awesome year!

I'm going to bed guys....Y'all are hilarious!
Got a killer headache. Talk to y'all tomorrow. Have a great night!

too many cookies again? Hope you get some sleep.

Sounds great! Yes, self sufficient, happy kids is our goal too! Sometimes it seems a bit lofty! The DD just spent most of the day pouting because the DH was making her fill out work applications. Her parent-sponsored gas money dries up in October, when, if she has not found a way to pay for her fuel, she will have to commute to class with her mommy, who will drop her off and pick her up for her college classes. I think pure mortification will be the fuel in her rocket at some point! (I may attempt to hold her hand and kiss her at the door. Bwahahaha, never mess with a parking lot chicken dealer!!)

Luv it! Lol

It wasn't actually funny. I have a weird sense of humor & the fact that you moved up to Alaska to be near your inlaws just hit me funny in a weird sadistic sort of way.

nooooooooo

one of the reasons I wanted to move up here was because I hate the in-laws. Double barf!

A few years after we moved here the in-laws followed. tripple barf... truly... hate them

Nah... the relative that was up here was my baby sister. And my folks (I like AND get along with my folks) liked it here and at the time were spending maybe 3 months every year up here.

He even for the longest time would get agitated when I would have candles burning

Totally understand that one! Sorry for the trauma you went through... so glad your family was fine.

headaches are terrible, hope yours goes away soon

It had crawled in there in the night thinking it was its nest and fallen asleep, it was there the whole time! The rabbit is free and (presumably) healthy and happy.

cool story.

Good morning and goodnight

We have the same type of thing going on with the son in S.Korea. He's 16 hours ahead of us, so we talk when we are having our morning coffee and he is getting ready for bed!

Christine or Christopher... guess you'll never know

Nothing too remarkable that I can recall. You get some rest, fella

Dang... Looks like I'll need to get one of the free air masks that are being given out at various places around town. While I don't have breathing difficulties normally, and, indeed, my main problem is less lung-based and more nausea, this smoke sucks (doesn't help that it's not only unseasonably warm, but unclimatically warm--it was 90+ Saturday! 80+ today! Normally, in the height of summer (which, temp-wise, is normally the next 4-6 weeks anyway), we might get above 70... (Made the summer we lived in Redding quite interesting...) No AC, and I can't exactly open up all the north-facing windows...

Anyway, enough fire-related stuff, and more things-of-interest...

Some of you may remember that we were talking of relocating here in the next few years. Well, this past week, Tom (hubby) and Tim (a friend of ours who may relocate with us) flew to Nashville on a scouting trip. They looked looked all around in a 50-mile radius (I'd thought the plan was just to look around Sumner county, which is the exact opposite side of Nashville from Rav (and a friend of mine from h2g2, for that matter), so, alas, no meeting-in-proxy (I learned of the radius the night before the 9am flight back...) So the Paper Clan may be in Tennessee before 2020 (a date that keeps coming up for Tom, both as the actual year, and in the form of "2-3 years") We had a realtor over the day before I took Tom and Tim up to the airport, and know what we need to do to make the house more desirable--mostly tidying, changing window trim--curb appeal stuff...

...And getting rid of the coop.

Now, I wasn't planning on bringing my birds across several state lines. It's not worth the hassle for mutts and hatchery birds. So rehoming was going to need to happen anyway. And there has been an increase in predator activity, possibly due to territory bumping, so I have less birds to rehome than I did before I went to the UK (though not anything near bobbi's attrition rate) It's just having someone tell me that the birds need to go... But I'll finally be able to have calls after the move and getting set up, so totally worth it! May need to make tons of blackberry jam and fudge for trading, but still
