Common Ground Coffee House #102

Give it up and let her go Ann! Trade out going for extra chores (something she hates doing of course) and make life a little easier on yourself. Unless.....you have her pegged to babysit the little ones while you get some much needed rest. Now that might be worth making an extra trip for.

Been at the sewing machine all day and still haven't done what I planned to do! Everybody keeps calling saying "I need this now!". I feel sorry for them and do it, but I'm not getting my own done. The latest thing is a poodle skirt that is needed tonight!

I'll be in and out as I get a chance!

 

Well in that case, she needs to be doing all those things she hasn't gotten done while she is at home and lonely.

I too am being the evil mother (and no step in my title either). Tonight is the big game between Cass' school(city) and and their arch rival school(county). Of course the city kids think they are way cooler than those country bumpkin county kids and vice versa, so it's a very big deal. It's also only 49 degrees outside. My arthritis won't take that willingly, especially on hard, WET, concrete bleachers. Her idea was that I could drop her and two of her girl friends off and pick up. Hmmm, 3, 14 year old girls by themselves at a ballgame that is so famous for trouble that the stadium is literally divided in half and the two sides are NOT allowed to mix. Can you say, "IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!" I can and did and since I did, the other girls mothers also decided that it wasn't a good idea cause all three are at home calling back and forth like we don't have three way calling.

So I'm waiting on our pizza to arrive and then I'm going to break with the usual and see if there is anything on TV to watch. I think CSI Miami on A&E is going to win out.

 

Ann, did ya find the ID card???


BTW, I had bllod drawn Tuesday and will see the Dr next Tuesday. Let's pray that Number is on the way down!!!raying: :godisgood: raying: :jesus:

 

Whew! I glad you found that ID, Ann. Why is it that we mothers always get the blame when something goes missing? And it always ends up that the object is lost in a messy kid's room? It's a conspiracy I tell you!

Today will be spent at the sewing machine, doing our own sewing! I have a suit and two costumes to make as well as a slip for myself. The goal is to get everything cut out and the suit and the slip sewn. I can work on the costumes tomorrow and Monday.

Ummm, maybe not tomorrow. I forgot, Jenna has a choir thing immediately after church tomorrow and then I have choir practice at 4:30. I think we'll have a nice potroast that I can stick in the crockpot for dinner/supper. Maybe then I can sneak in an hour or so to sew. Might sneak in the evening service as well. Depends on DH, I'm spending an awful lot of time at church here lately.

I've got the kids started picking up the house, much to their dismay. Second son will be here in a few minutes. He and Chris have their own plans for the day so I want chores done before they get started. Jen will probably head out to her friend's house pretty soon. That'll just leave Cass and I might let her talk me into picking up one of her friends to keep her company. It'll help make up for being evil mother last night.

Gotta go get DH clothes. He's headed out to lay tile at a friends today.

See ya'll later!

 

Good day!

Sometimes we think we have heard all the sermons, then along comes a preacher having a go at Jonah. It was a marvellous sermon. Drove me to re-read Jonah and think about "And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah a SECOND TIME..." How many times must the Lord come unto the second time?

Cheers,

Jim

 

For some of us more than I understand. Just shows HIS Amazing Grace...& patience!!!

 

Ummmmm!!!! Blackbird has news for Sweet Sue #16!!!

37 degrees + tent + raining + windy + nite ='s ummmmmm

Brent isn't(ain't) is not warm!!!

Blackbird repeats

Brent is NOT warm!!!!

Which sounds like our Sister Sue needs more education from her good pals in the Pit Stop!!!! Blackbird believes there's a course offered through the Pit Stop in how to keep warm in the Tropics and comfortably cold in both the Poles!!!

 

Precisely the reason you need ongoing advise from the Pit Stop!!! (With the voice of Darth Sideous---AKA Emperior Palpatine) "Come to the Dark Side, Sue!!!!! It is your desssssssssss-ti---kneeeeeeee!!!!!":laugh: :laugh:

We(Pit Stop survivers) promise:

No Force Lightning upon Sue

&

No Force Pushes

Only Light Sabres---the choice weapon for civilized society!!!!

 

But Sue, you were heading off to bed at 11:45 last night.....surely there is a story there..........:laugh:

It is always a good morning for me....when I awake.

To-day, I want to pay tribute to Hungarians, who 50 years ago to-day, dared to stand in the face of communism.

The boy we sheltered in Halifax in 1968 was born that day in Hungary. His mother was shot and killed carrying him to safety. He escaped, with his great aunt, to Italy and eventually to Canada. Ede is to-day an engineering professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax. Communism could not have its day over a determined people.

Cheers, and God bless,

Jim

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,


It's good to be back, I've been in the hospital for a few days. They have finally come to a diagnosis for some of my ongoing behaviorial problems.

I have been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder(formerly known as manic-depressive), and I was admitted to the hospital after an "episode" last week.

I guess it's good to finally have an answer instead of guesses, it's just that the answer has me scared to death. Hopefully the new meds I'm now on will help me to deal with what I'm going through.

Hopefully, I can check in maybe tomorrow, or the next day.
