Where's Bev? Where are our newbies? Sure is quiet around here. Me? Oh.. things are ok. My sister shipped mom & grandma's bedroom furniture. I can't fit it in my house. I don't want to put it in my garage to store it. I have two pieces that fit nowhere and I'm so tired from painting, moving, and shuffling things around this last week. These pieces are real wood.. not the kind of stuff I'm use to. I have to teach the teens how to watch out not to hurt the good furniture... and I don't really want the responsibility! That's what's new at my house. How'ya all doing? 'Kate > Where's Bev? > Where are our newbies? [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > don't really want the responsibility! That's what's new at my house. > How'ya all doing? We're ok here, too. 14-year old just had all 4 widsom teeth extracted Friday (no, I'm not letting her use loss of wisdom as an excuse for doing anything stupid) - she is, however, making a recovery that is far better than I could have hoped for - she's off to the local zoo for an extra-credit project for school. Son is turning 12 in a couple of weeks, so looking forward to that as well as the end of school. After that, he starts his football camps and football season over the summer. Aside from that, life is reasonably normal.... get up, go to work, come home, family to the Y for various activities and classes, dinner, bed, next day rinse and repeat. :-) > 'Kate >> Where's Bev? >> Where are our newbies?

That's what's new at my house. > How'ya all doing? Glad things are o.k. for you and yours. I totally understand the emotions with the furniture, when dad died, mom couldn't deal with their bedroom set, he had lay sick there for quite some time before we switched to a hospital bed. I was asked to honor it and so I am. Real maple set heavy as as a house but so beautiful and special to have. I have been swamped with motherly duties , babysitting, cleaning, transportation for three , yes Three! to work and home. My daughter is working again as a cashier/busser at the diner I met Mari at the first time, we frequent this place for lunches and Sunday breakfasts . S took the initiative to inquire about work one Sunday morning and she got the job! Her BPD challenges her social behavior at times but so far so good ! I am pleased, but we are oh so still struggling with her illness.One of her two girlfriends that have stuck in with the friendship with my daughter through her abuse of them has a 9 month old that I sit for while she works and she needed a ride as well until she gets her license, and then my daughters fiancee (gasp) that I have been educating on her illness because he wants to know how to understand her better, which is honorable and quite promising that he cares enough to try . He also is waiting for a license suspension thing to pass in June so he can drive himself to and from work. Yep there is definitely a "MOM'S TAXI" posted on the rear of my Vehicle! I am finally off the heart monitor and will have a nuclear stress test done in July. Hopefully the symptoms will prove to have been related to the high blood pressure and all will be o.k. The blood sugar thing is o.k. guidlines apparently have changed and I am told 104 is not a bad thing. I am surely feeling better than I was. The diuretic prescribed drained me of 15 lbs of water too! So some altered eating and smoking habits and I think I'm gonna live :-) Quitting is not going well with the smoking but I have cut down tremendously watch my sugar watch my salt and all is well! Mari has been working long hours because she is crazy or maybe not, the house is full of kids most days LOL! My oldest will arrive June 17th and her B/F will arrive on the 29th! I dont participate with internet all that much for lack of time, life is busy . I start my accounting class end of June. I guess thats all I have to say which appears to be enough babble for one day <grin> Hello all , hope everyone is doing well. Bev > 'Kate >> Where's Bev? > [quoted text clipped - 56 lines] >Hello all , hope everyone is doing well. >Bev Awesome! Oh wow have you gone through hell and come back out the (hopefully) other end! I hope your younger daughter keeps that job. It is hard for BPD's to mind how they think about what's happening in their environment and to monitor their reactions. I hope she keeps up the good work. Give her a hug for me! Please! Likewise your oldest when she comes home. It'll be nice to have her around I'm sure. Maybe she'll make herself helpful and you can at least concentrate on what you need to do for yourself. I'm glad you're looking after your own health too. Blood sugar will cause the heart to flutter and blood pressure to fluctuate. I hope that's all it is because that's quite manageable! Mom's taxi... I had one. I gave it up. All of my children have licenses now. Whew. But the insurance cost is unfreeking believable. The furniture looks nice. I'll get use to it. It's not exactly my taste but I hope it brings good fortune. Good to hear from you... keep in touch. I can't wait to hear how you do in accounting! > Where's Bev? > Where are our newbies?

Have a box of finger paints that would work just perfect for painting up the car. Big, "GO OILERS GO!" and others would look just perfect on the car, and finger paints are great since it washes off cars real nicely... Although I'm kind of hesitant, as it's supposed to rain this evening - and until like Thursday, I think, but what the hey... We haven't used the finger paints yet, and they've been sitting in the kitchen (unopened) for probably 8 months now! I think it will be just as much (if not more) fun for me as it would be for B, and I don't think A really gives a hoot, but it might be fun at her age to just squish paint around between her fingers, maybe put some hand prints on the car? I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it could be fun, and with it expected to rain tonight, it's not like the paint will be sitting on the car for days and days... I might get lazy (and find it's just too hot today) to stand outside, so we might opt for big papers to tape up in the windows. I dunno, painting is fun... I had a blast painting the kids' rooms, and I know I'll have a blast when we move out and paint it back to the yucky white that it originally was! Moving things really isn't all that fun, though... Especially when it's heavy furniture of any sort! We moved a pair of hide-a-beds into the basement... Well, 'we' means not me - I was kind of useless, except I held the doors open well lol First sofa I called a friend, who happened to be in the area with another friend, so those guys came down, hauled it out of the truck and tossed it in the basement. Norm was about to attempt moving the next one on his own a couple days later, and he said he was going to knock on the neighbour's door, but the kid's car wasn't home at the time, so he's standing out at the truck looking dumb when the neighbour and his mom both pull up and park their cars... The neighbour was the one that approached Norm and asked him if he wanted some help with the sofa. Turns out, they seemed to hit it off... They both enjoy that one stupid computer game (Starcraft, I believe it is??) and I had a feeling from day 1, when talking to the mom when we first moved in, that her oldest son and Norm would hit it off if given the chance... They both enjoy loud music, electronic stuff (computers, stereos, cars, whatever) and the kid isn't really that much younger than we are... I think he's 21 or something? Anyways, speaking of moving things around, I think I should get back to what I had tried to start yesterday... Making the living room area a bit more baby friendly... She gets into the plants and all kinds of stuff, so I've been moving and rearranging, although it's not big heavy stuff! >> Where's Bev? >> Where are our newbies? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Sure is... Seems to be that way a lot lately...

I've never heard of finger painting a car. I can't see how it would harm the car at all though. But wouldn't you rather they play with car wash bubbles on the car? >I dunno, painting is fun... I had a blast painting the kids' rooms, and I >know I'll have a blast when we move out and paint it back to the yucky white >that it originally was! I don't mind painting. It's the prep work that is frustrating. This is a 50 year old house and the walls are starting to show it. I had quite a few nails to bang back in and patch. >Moving things really isn't all that fun, though... Especially when it's >heavy furniture of any sort!

But > wouldn't you rather they play with car wash bubbles on the car? Well, I haven't brought it up today yet, as B's behavior has been good enough for him to deserve a kick in the behind right away... If only I could... lol He has yet to earn this activity being brought up for an afternoon activity... Might just go ahead and do it anyways, as I have not given this as a loss for behavior, so it really wouldn't be fair to say, "You've been downright bad today, so oh, by the way, you can't come paint..." >>I dunno, painting is fun... I had a blast painting the kids' rooms, and I >>know I'll have a blast when we move out and paint it back to the yucky [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > 50 year old house and the walls are starting to show it. I had quite a > few nails to bang back in and patch. And getting paint on the walls only is frustrating too (for me) The walls in this place look like they haven't been painted in about 50 years, maybe 70... I figured a nice light pink/light purple on A's walls (one wall pink, one wall purple, next wall pink... All the way around the room, with her Winnie-a-Pooh stickups would look nice, and it's definitely light enough that it would take only a coat or two of paint to cover up back to white when we move... B's room, though, I split diagonally from the far wall all the way down to the opposite wall - like I dunno... Half darker blue, half lighter blue with his Clifford wallpaper along the split in colors. The darker blue bottom might take 3 coats to cover, and the bathroom we painted all green... Turned out to be a couple shades darker than I had wanted and expected, but again, a few coats of paint... And free paint is given away at the Eco Station here, and Norm's brother is a painter, by trade - I believe it's a trade? - so we're definitely in luck with covering paint in the end! ;) >>Moving things really isn't all that fun, though...

I just wish > he was an "adult" playmate. Yup - she has one that I think is about 17 and the other I believe is about 21. The younger one is still in school, but the older one, I guess, is an electrician... Last I heard, electricians make a killing ;) How she manages to stay in sub-housing is beyond me, but I really don't care about other people... The kid seems to be alright. It's the mom that is kind of a bit, somewhat - no, fairly - on the crazy side. :D Plus, he offered his services and manly strength to help out with a hide-a-bed - and those things are soooo heavy! And I'm not sure if I approve of a buddy that enjoys that one stupid computer game. I think he's bad news. I don't want little Normie hanging out with people that encourage his silly computer game problem ;) LOL But, to be perfectly honest, I would much rather Norm find people to associate with that are NOT on coke or spend their time NOT working and just drinking and doing drugs... Seems everyone he knows lives that kind of life style, and that is one thing that does not sit well with me. He really doesn't talk much to that group of people, as now I really do think that he sees that he can't have the best of both worlds - it's either a free life without US or a family life without all the drugs and drinking and all that stuff that is best left for those who have nothing really to come home to. >>Anyways, speaking of moving things around, I think I should get back to >>what [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Hugs, > 'Kate Oh, I try... I think I am making some progress... Toss the doors and windows wide open, kick the dog out in the yard and just clean and sort through things... Managed to get rid of a whole bunch of toys that haven't been looked at in ages, a bunch of clothes no one's going to use, cleaned out our closet enough to fit my hope chest in it (and get it OUT of the hallway at the top of the stairs)... Managed to find homes for a bunch of random kitchen things I don't even know how to use (like this cookie press and a small George Foreman type grill that's just too small for the size of family we have and amount of food we eat at a meal... Bought a new set of forks and spoons and gave away all the mix-and-match forks and knives I had before... I'm so hoping we can move... I so badly want to get out of this place and find something that is a bit bigger and just better in general. So much to do priority wise before that, but I'm hoping we can move out of here once and for all before the snow falls and before we're stuck moving with a 5 and a half year old, 15 month old and newborn... Would be ideal just before school starts, but that could very well be pushing it... If it doesn't happen this year, I'll wait til next summer (this, I think, might be the wisest decision) and allow for things to settle, suck it up for the rest of the school year and move when possible. Just want things to settle and be proven to have settled for quite some time. >Kids? What kids? LOL >Maybe I could tie mine up for a while... Would that be alright to do? ;) LOL... only if the laws in your area permit it. We use to do worse to kids. They had harnesses and leashes. >> OMG.. let me know how that turns out!

But [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >"You've been downright bad today, so oh, by the way, you can't come >paint..." Kids have their off days. Sometimes because they don't sleep well or because they're bored in general. When mine were little (an even now that they're old kids), I knew when they were just being restless vs. acting badly to get my goat... and if they were just restless, we went to the park or zoo or library. Something free. It never failed and voila.. they were good again for awhile. >>>I dunno, painting is fun...

As long as the reason why this 21 year old is home with mom is not because he is spending his money on drugs and alcohol. >>>Anyways, speaking of moving things around, I think I should get back to >>>what [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >we have and amount of food we eat at a meal...

Nesting habits! :-) I've been doing the same things... consolidating, organizing, and throwing things away or donating them. It feels good. >I'm so hoping we can move...

Either way.. seems like getting out ASAP is a better choice but if you aren't up to it, then that settles that question. :-) Hugs, 'Kate > Where's Bev? > Where are our newbies? [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > 'Kate Hi! I'm alive! - just, been so poorly fighting that virus off, had the worse headache for a week, even my spine hurt, could hardly move my head cos my neck was so sore, dr said to take paracetamol and if any bumps came up call asap. Its been sunny and wet this week, went to the Chemists to buy new sun glasses cos my eyes hurt, took 5 minutes to choose em, the moment I stepped out onto the pavement it began to rain, yep, a sense of humour really keeps me together somehow, if I lose my humor somethings wrong, - sometimes life demands a little bit of the lateral, if we don't bend a bit we'd snap. I'm having a tidy, I came to the conclusion that I don't possess things, they possess me. I'm a bit of a horder mom and dad were into old stuff and old houses, something always needed mending, restoring, decorating. Sadly I've only inherited the junk hoarding gene, the desire to clean it up and resell didn't come too. I've got the 'that'll come in useful I'm sure, don't bin it' and nothing in my house is worth over a couple of lousy quid. At one point I had 9 bikes, can you imagine? 9 bikes ! and only one of them works - the rest went into a skip. Anything that was worth anything was sold to pay the outstanding bills when he left. So I cleaned out my wardrobe. It's sad to see those lovely dresses that'll never see the twinkling lights of a summer city evening again, I thought I'd sell those and save, it'll be nice to take the kids on an outing. Then lit'lun saw the loose slates up on the roof, -and I'm sure not going up there - We've been making patchwork (pink of course) for floor cushions... (the bags of feathers were left over from a sofa reupholstering episode-the sofa frame cost £10 the feathered cushions from a factory outlet)we had to rebag them in the garden, we sneezed for a day or two. The fabrics which don't match I'll run together anyway and wash through with a pink dye I found. The flour dough was a great success :) and we'll make more this week. The Ugh :( of the week has been the slugs. They squeeze into my kitchen in wet weather after dark. They are disgusting. I've tried to be green about them, you know contemplating the beauty of Gods creatures, some are mottled, some are brown, some even have an orange line down each flank...you know like a go-faster-stripes?. Ugh! Its when I'm bare foot I hate them most, I've popped a slug in the night once before......I'm gonna find an hedgehog and lock it in there for 24 hours. I'm sick of sweeping up salt. Ugh! I brewed of coffee one morning and boiled one. I only noticed when I took a mouthful. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!#~%!!! Bye! Miri >> Where's Bev? >> Where are our newbies? [quoted text clipped - 73 lines] > >Miri In Holland it's snails that pop when you step on them. You've been so busy! I'm with you on the things possessing us. I've been de-cluttering and throwing out what I can't use, don't want, and simply takes up room. That's the goal - room. I want it. I don't want things. We recovered a chair recently... poorly. I'm not the seamstress that my mother and grandmother were. Crappy eyesight, no patience. Dye only works on cotton fabric if I remember correctly... good luck with that. I'm glad the dough worked out. Cookie cutters and a rolling pin are fun to use on the dough too. I'll bet you figured that out. Nice to see how busy you are... productively so.

It's been like that here too, I guess... It's been raining and raining, then there's some nice sun, and more rain. Nice lightning too, and some thunder the other night... I did not sleep well ;) lol >I'm having a tidy, I came to the conclusion that I don't >possess things, they possess me. I'm a bit of a horder [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >Anything that was worth anything was sold to pay the >outstanding bills when he left. I'm the same way. I'm a hoarder. Been to flylady? Fly thru the clutter and stuff... Yeah, right... I made an attempt at the first 'task' and scrubbing down the kitchen sink like there's no tomorrow just didn't work. I'm sorry, I just don't have the time and patience (and I don't care enough) to put a clean tea towel in the kitchen sinks each and every night before I go to bed. That just seems like extra laundry to me... I think EVERYTHING might come in handy, or be used for the first, sometimes second time... Doesn't matter what it is. Oh, just might need this useless kitchen gadget that I've never used before and no idea how to work it anyways... We had a bike lot going for a while... Now it's not so bad... Norm's a big bike fan, and 'parts' are always needed, it seems... My dirty problem right now seems to be wooden spoons. I think there's 11 of them right now... What I need 11 wooden spoons for is beyond me... Also, pens... Most of them don't even work... Why am I keeping them again??? Over the last short while, I've gotten rid of a bunch of useless crap that someone else probably could find useful... Thinking of the kitchen, I gave away 2 small crock pots (I don't think I've ever used either of them before), a cookie press machine - I've never baked cookies, unless all you have to do is add some water to the powder from a package, or cut off slices of a half frozen roll of cookie dough... a small George Foreman type indoor grill - too small to even be somewhat useful for our famil, as it is good enough to fit on maybe 1 boneless chicken breast - I normally need a good 5 or 6 chicken breasts cooked at a meal to feed everyone... A teeny tiny rice cooker that is pointless when the best rice I can cook up is called, "Minute Rice", old silverwear after I just went out and bought a new, matching set, a bag of coffee mugs - no one even really drinks coffee around here, so I kept a total of 6 and brought my dad over about a dozen and a half coffee mugs for him to keep at his work... a small food chopper thing, some corning ware type dishes... Hm.. I got rid of sooo much clutter... Then moved on to the MANY boxes in the basement... Got rid of about 4 HUGE boxes of toys that no one's looked at in ages and no one's missed yet... Packed up all of B's clothes that he's grown out of - the ones that I didn't care to keep and had no reason to keep - and passed them on to a single mom friend with a 3 year old boy and also a 10 month old boy...Shoes, jackets, boots, pj's, shorts, socks, shirts, jeans... You name it... Some stuff I packed in a box, but not much! Figured I should pass on those Spiderman and Bob the Builder clothes to a little boy who can use them now, rather than keeping all of it for Amie to NEVER wear (as I assume a little girl would probably prefer flowers, butterflies and Barbie over Bob the Builder, Spiderman or the Hulk, and who knows if in 3 or 4 years kids will still like the Hulk???) I actually didn't sell a thing... It might have come in handy to *try* and sell some of this stuff for a bit of spare change, but I wanted it gone and out of sight, out of mind ASAP, so I gave it away like free advice. :D Plus, I was trying to cut down the clutter and useless stuff, so finding someone who could use it helped. >So I cleaned out my wardrobe.

I also don't dare go on roofs anymore... A couple years back, I helped a girl friend remove shingles on her roof and put shakes in. Boy, was that NOT fun, and we were fairly unproductive. Her bro and his friend did a lot of the work. We clung on to the peaks on the roof for dear life... She took out a section of the railing on her bedroom's balcony, and nearly took out her own life thanks to that roof... Me = not a fan of being up on any roof, nevermind a 3 storey roof that is, I think, something like 8/12 or maybe 9/12 on most parts with hips and valleys everywhere you look. >We've been making patchwork (pink of course) for floor >cushions...
