Sanity Saturday

Sounds overwhelming to me. I hope it all works out well.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Have a fun trip, jlbear!

Good luck on the finals!

I'm not sure what we'll do today. Wayne is back at the plant. His new machine is down.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! smile

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Very hot and humid here. Still plowing through the mountain of vacation laundry. Have to mow the lawn and grocery shop. Really not a ton to do, the lawn will be done by noon and grocery shopping is easy.

So I may just hang with you all.

I can't wait till my body catches up to us time zone. Up at 6 am on a sat. My little granddaughter stared crawling right after I left (the little stinker )

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Slept in the new place last night! Of course there are still things in the old place that need moved out. And I have boxes everywhere. Everywhere. One of DD's friends is coming tonight to spend a week with us. I hope she wants to unpack boxes.

Final Exam is done. 76 out of 100. I don't usually test well even with open book. Overall, I should have a solid B. If she is generous on the final project I turned in earlier in the week, I may squeek a B+ or A-.

Now, I need to start packing. Should not take long as I have half of it set aside already.

MIL is awake and DH is still sleeping.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

So for this move I just did it the army way and bought Rubbermaid containers instead of scouring for boxes. They are sturdier and we will have them for the next move. My BIL is in the army and my SIL swears by this method of moving. She is right. It's easy, it all stacks nicely in the truck. But WTF do I do with all of these containers now?! Lol.

We still have a storage space rented in town for all of the holiday decorations. I will probably put them in that. Sigh. I was hoping to empty it and stop using it. Not gonna happen.

Sigh, 1/2 through mowing a wheel fell off the lawnmower. I was so aggravated I just left it in the middle of the yard. Hoping a nice neighbor notices and puts it back on for me. :(

That is what DS learned in the Navy too. The only boxes we had to go get were ones from the liquor store, the ones with the card board inserts. They are perfect for moving glasses and wine collections.

Yep, just fill it up with oil. Ok bought a new wheel but I can't get all the housing unit from the old one off. Grrrrr

You know if you people had mowers come out this stuff wouldn't happen.

I prefer to do it myself for the exercise plus the cost to hire someone would pay for a new mower every year. Maybe a neighbor will take pity of me and finish up the job! Although half my 'hood seems to be away this weekend.

Happy Saturday.

Need to do a little cleaning. First full week of school has left a lot of little things unfinished. We will get back in the swing of things.

Jesse will mow later maybe.

Congrats on your grade jlbear71.

Lawn service was part of our rent. Factored in. Realtor owns almost all the houses on the street. The crew comes out once a week and mows.

I had just put oil in it. That was the problem. Put too much. Just went to 4 stores to get a new filter. Did manage to get a new sal****er license while out. Mine expired 2 weeks ago. Going shrimping later.

Oh yes! Too much oil will make it smoke like crazy.

Glad you figured it out, SB.

Lol. Salt water is not a dirty word!

Just about got everything done. Aaron is mopping the bathroom, kitchen and dinning room needs swept and mopped and we are done.

Now who wants to make supper?

No it isn't. But you can figure out what was *** out.

Made it to vacation house. Bam relaxing a bit before going grocery shopping. It is nice here.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

House guest has arrived. We are trying to sort out what sounds best for dinner - it's hot out and no one feels like cooking or sitting at the dining hall (no AC there).

After that, it's off to grab some snacks for the week and then pack/unpack some more. I lolly gagged this afternoon and now I need to make up for it. I was always a night time person anyway.

Renegade Time Lord · Am I A Good Man?

Did some last minute gift shopping with my elderly friend for treats to give to caretakers. They are back from vacation and I will be taking my friend to the airport in a few hours for the flight back home. It was very challenging caring for my friend, who needed assistance with everything, and is quite stubborn. I need a REAL vacation from my "vacation".

Plans for the rest of the weekend include shopping, getting my apartment back in order, and catching up on sleep. It will be nice to have my bed back as well.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I'm back from the shower. It was so nice. I hardly knew anyone. Just her, her mom, and her grandma. Her mom told me several times she was glad her daughter had me close. She lives two hours away. After the shower I went up to her and told her that she could call me anytime and I would give her my number. I told her that sometimes her daughters is stubborn and too proud to ask for help and that she could call me and I would run over and help her since I'm ten minutes from her. I told her mom that I never wanted to step on her toes or hurt her feelings by making her feel like I was taking over. She told me I absolutely wasn't and then she said the kindest thing to me. She said, You are this baby's REAL grandma too. Just as much as me. I hope you don't forget that. Then she told me she will be Mimi, the other grandma will be Gigi, and I have to pick a real grandma name too. She told when I picked my real grandma name to let her know so she could put it in her phone.

So, what should I be?????!!!!!!!!!!

How sweet!

How about Nana?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Nana is good!

DS discovered today that being overzealous at grabbing a bottle is not a good idea. We decided to get some bubble bath for him and gave him a choice between two bottles (bubble gum and blueberry). He grabbed the blueberry one way too fast and smacked himself in the face with it. He wasn't happy. He quickly abandoned the blueberry one and hugged the bubble gum one before throwing it in the cart.

He likes bubbles so I'm sure he'll very much enjoy his bath tonight.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Who DOESN'T like bubbles?

But check it first. There was a article the other day about a toddler being burned by the bubble bath. The bubbles soap burnt her skin and left it raw.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Bubbles are fun.

Vin Diesel and the Rock. Bald has never been sexier.

Lol. Salt water is not a dirty word!

That is so funny, SB. I was trying to figure out what they were starring out. I never would have thought of that.

NJN: Nana was the first thing I thought of too, It's kinda like ninja.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

It took me a little thinking to figure out the salt water thing.

Thanks Lady. Driving home I was trying to think and couldn't think of a thing. Her mom said to call her and let her know and that she would call when "we're" in labor. lol

I'm sure there's some weirdo who doesn't like bubbles :P

I loved making bubble hairdos and beards when I was a kid.

We will make sure to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't have a reaction. DH and I didn't have a reaction to the bubbles when we were kids. Hopefully DS will follow suit.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

If I read that right. It wasn't just a reaction. It was a chemical in it. It wasn't the right balance or something like that.

I'm not trying to be bossy. I hope you know that.

I know. It's always good to check for reactions. Some people are more sensitive to chemicals than others. DH, for example, can't touch some towels because they make his hands itchy and red.

I saw that too but then I saw three other people who bought the same exact stuff say they had no problems with it. I don't disbelieve what the woman said who posted it but who knows, maybe it got mixed with something else in the tub or something?

So here are some pics of the shower. They decorated the tables by putting down Hershey's kisses, baby lotion, little stuffed animals, and different colored bows. Her dad built her crib. It has a storage drawer underneath and can be taken apart to make a full size bed. He inscribed verses on the bed.

DS is thoroughly enjoying himself with the bubbles. No reaction.

The following conversation ensued after DS poured out some water from one of his bath toys onto the floor:
Me: Could we keep the water in the tub, please?
DS: Maybe.
Me: Smart azz. DH: *laughs*
DS: *splash splash splash*

Oh, if anyone has ideas for good bath toys, please let me know. I had to toss the toys he had that you squeeze then squirt water out of because they got mold in them. No more of those type of toys but I'm open to other ideas.
