[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 255216, member: 3444"] Yup. Never a dull moment. Funny you should mention tents, Janna... we've got one set up in the backyard for the past three weeks now. :D I bet the extension cord would reach out there for husband's CPAP... JJJ, I've had nights like that before, too! One year I ended up hiring a sitter to come over, even though husband would be home, to ensure that medications were taken and kids were in bed at a decent hour. husband finally got the message, but I'm thinking he needs a refresher... KTmom... the mission trip was fun but tiring. The marines who were staying down below us (we were in a base town) were VERY loud and drunk Friday night. And Saturday night, someone kept slamming a door at 3am. After about 20 minutes of this, I heard a guy pounding on the door and then some heated words were exchanged. By 4am all was quiet again, and then it started up again at 7:30am. We spent a few hours exploring the mission and then I took easy child to the beach. I think she enjoyed that the most! And I did get to see her mood swings in action :surprised1:, and I have to say that I'm a bit concerned about her. I'll need to keep a close on eye on this as puberty approaches. She reminds me SO MUCH of husband and the mood swings he went through before he went on medications... Toto, yes, the dishes WERE done :) Because HE DIDN"T COOK ALL WEEKEND!!! What they did eat was on paper plates ;) Susie, I've been letting a lot slide around here simply because no one does care. But now it's really starting to bug me, so I guess that means it's time for Spring cleaning! Shari, yup, I've found myself wondering the same thing at times like that! WFEN, I take my me time when no one is around... that's another reason my house is such a pit right now... WO, I've learned to lower my standards and expectations. That's helped me tremendously at times like this. Andy -- love the book idea :D Oh brother sums it up pretty well! [/QUOTE]
