  •  On the whining front.  I'm 33 weeks.  One more week of being extremely good and the laying flat restrictions are gone.   One more week after that of being cautious and let that baby come!  LOL


    Or I get to start painting....its a nesting thing.   I have like six different things I want to get painted.   And I keep looking at them longingly...I'm rather strange I love to paint. 


     My kids are building a tree fort.  They are quite excited about it......I've been too scared to go look.  I suppose I should have DH go...but he looses his sense of humour when it comes to kids creativity.   Maybe I'll pretend I don't know????? 


    Kaylin has this way of distracting mom from anger.  Its actually quite funny.   She will sense mommys tension rising and start going "mom?!  mom?!  mom?!"   I'll take a deep breathe ready to answer question 551.  "WHAT?"  usually comes out a bit harsher then it should have.    And then the whomper.  "I love you."  she says in this sad little voice.


    Great now I feel 2 inches tall. 


    So yesterday she did that, and I found my sense of humour and started saying "Kaylin?  Kaylin?  Kaylin?"   Not only would she not answer she put stinky blanket over her head and hid from me.  :-p   Skunk!


    Rainee came up to me with a big smile on her face and said "Mom your a butthead."   I stare at her for a moment unsure if that was what I really heard.  "Mom your a butthead."   Yup it was what I heard.    "Rainee, that's not nice and we're not saying that again."  I informed her very quietly.    Fortunately she hasn't.  


    But big sister who rather likes that word and uses it when she thinks mommy isn't listening got a wee bit of a lecture about her word choices. 


    I've taken on another responsibility at church.  It should involve about 2-3 hours a month at most.  Our church has a attic room with gently used clothes.  Its available to any who need them and there free.   I've actually been working there off and on since it started, and my kids benefit from it greatly.   So now the responsibility is mine.   We went yesterday and I sat on a pew and sorted threw clothes while the kids delivered them to there rightful destinations. 


    People did ya know are slobs???   When your donating clothes...please just throw the underware away.  And the used nylons.   And don't ya think you could wash them first???  EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!


    Zeria got 4 new shirts out of yesterdays clean up.  And Mari 6 plus several pairs of pants.  The back of the van is currently full of clothes to go to the dump.  That's how bad what was donated was.  Just plain EWW!


    Rob is headed to p/t and to empty the van.   And I'm making a note to myself to make an announcement on Sunday (again)  About what qualifies as donation worthy.  *sigh*

  • Emily does that "Mom? Mom? Mom?" thing to me all the time. ROFL. And then I just want to take her down and ruffle the heck out of her. LOL!!!

    And oh my gosh! People are including WHAT in their clothing donations? YUCK! I always make sure everything is freshly washed, nicely folded, neatly matched... and I wouldn't dream of donating used underwear or nylons. Unsanitary and disgusting! :eek:

  • We have an area like that at our church, and the woman who looks after gets it all organsied, and then people jsut keep putting stuff in there, without askign her if anythign else is needed.  My 9 year old got 7 pairs fo trousers and 2 polo shirts out of the clear out they did last week.
