Their toilet in the master bath above the kitchen has been causing a brown spot on the ceiling above the stove for three years now. They didn't do anything about it until on morning my mother came downstairs and it was full-blown gushing out of the ceiling. Now they are finally talking about redoing the kitchen they have been talking about for 10 years. Seriously. I have inherited this little gem of a problem. My fiance keeps saying "when we have a baby...". I am on the pill and he is almost 50... when is when?Oona Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951594171079633931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-71423584011523261882009-07-06T11:06:05.463-07:002009-07-06T11:06:05.463-07:00So, how's the car hunt going?

Not that he will do them - he'll make the decision for you then keep after you until you do all of the requisite tasks and he can mark them off his list. True story. <br /><br />Let me know when's good for you - I'll schedule our year of forty mammograms for us to go together. We'll have lunch afterwards and I'll have the films sent to your doctor.

Cuz in my marriage, being married to an only child (who expects everyone to do things HIS way) I am the one who does EVERYTHING. I'm sick of it!!! But I feel your pain with the school issue... except our local school district isn't state-ranked. It's more like, 'wah-wah-waahhhh'. <br /><br />But, anyway, quit beating yourself up. No matter how much you get done there will always be more to do. Just do what you can and enjoy your day. And maybe find a friend who can help you stay accountable for the important stuff!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039056206420438194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-81883860575192147732009-07-05T09:31:59.821-07:002009-07-05T09:31:59.821-07:00As a single female I enjoy getting glimpses into f...As a single female I enjoy getting glimpses into family life.

I have really enjoyed reading your blog and can identify with so much of it! :-) Except for all the beautiful repurposing you do. I'm afraid I'm completely clueless in that department. But apparently we share the same gyno, Dr. Whatwasyournameagain, and at least two of my youngest daughter's teeth (baby one's, thank goodness) have almost decayed right out of her head. But Lord knows I do love a good book...or blog post.<br /><br />Thanks for the entertaining read!<br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517072580317695585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-53773301423294333052009-07-04T08:08:23.700-07:002009-07-04T08:08:23.700-07:00Anna, I'm so sorry our schedules didnt work o...Anna, I'm so sorry our schedules didnt work out while I was in town. I would have loved to bat around the pro's and con's of public vs. private school..<br />I am like your IT guy... with a smile on my face when presented with a problem. I admire your "live in the moment" way of life... no matter how hard I try, I am always living years in the future.<br /><br />In all seriousness, if you need help diving into the stats to compare the schools from an objective point of view, send me an email.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-39906209035119439372009-07-03T21:47:37.857-07:002009-07-03T21:47:37.857-07:00Well, I'd say decisions are hard, but actions ...Well, I'd say decisions are hard, but actions are hard too, so there is a double whammy that in order to get anything done, you have to do both parts, which is hugely hard if you're both easy-going people.<br /><br />But the bright side of easy-going is your tolerance for not sweating the small stuff and the time you don't waste in worrying about what-ifs. (My hubbie is more easy going and I'm definitely a cross-the-bridge-long-before-it-actually-happens) type.<br /><br />It might help you a little to make a list (I know, I'm so OCD!) and divide it into important vs urgent. And maybe a third category for neither. Matters of health and the kids well-being probably deserve prime attention, the garden shed, not so much!<br /><br />And would it help to remember that very, very, very few of life's decisions are irreversible? <br /><br />Hang in there!Pauline Wileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387098614220322595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-13137887778259252132009-07-03T18:30:25.579-07:002009-07-03T18:30:25.579-07:00That is SO ME!

I hate research and appointments and anything that involves me having to become knowledgeable about a subject that doesn't immediately interest me. Which is EXACTLY what I have to do for Oliver now. Whenever I think about it, I just want to take a nap.Wishing Truehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741593031796536733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-13426606624981412922009-07-02T17:54:17.465-07:002009-07-02T17:54:17.465-07:00Oh Anna, that last line was hysterical!

Can't help it - it's in my DNA - BOTH my parents are too...so while I can't say that I relate to this exactly, I do understand. Hopefully you guys can sit down and make a list of the pros and cons of public vs. private and make a decision soon!

I have a little project that I'm gonna do around my whirlpool tub with chairrail & I'm def. going to use this wallpaper with it to trim it out. Much easier than the real thing. I doubt seriously if anyone would know the difference it it and the real thing. I am sold on it!<br /><br />Hope you'll come back to see me again. I'm always up to some fun projects.Rhoda @ Southern Hospitalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741881774379561710noreply@blogger.com
