Day 4 of coming home to every light in the house being on beacise I asked him not to turn off the light in a room I walk through between the bathroom and bedroom when I’m in the bathroom at night.
I refuse to give him pleasure by expressing any anger or frustration at his childishness. Wonder how long this will last and what it will do to the electric bill?
As someone who cooks every day, I can’t help myself from cringing at facebook posts about “new food craze” or “heavenly foodie stuff”.
After jumping through hoops and driving 1,000 miles round trip to pick up D, she tells us, “Oh, M said he could give me a ride home and then back to school, after all!” So we will eat the cost of the bus, train, and shuttle I reserved for her return trip so she can ride with her friend. I was proud of myself for saying, “That’s OK!” Eek. At least we had a good trip getting her, and got to see her at work at the school’s art gallery on Tuesday. Every time we visit Susquehanna, we know she’s in the right place.
Could you people move any slower? The rest of us on the van have planes to catch.
Delta airlines: when my bag is tagged priority, that doesn’t mean to stick it on a different flight that arrives 2 hours before we do. If it’s missing, we will not be happy. And lady in our row who is in the aisle and slowly dumping stuff in all the seats, saying you don’t pack light, when they ask you to step into the row and out of the aisle as you are causing a huge backlog line, the correct response is not “no”.
I blinked first and now I’m team parent. Please let there be no drama on a team of 17/18 year old girls and their parents!
All I want is for you to be happy - please confide in me
Someone crashed into my car overnight. It appears totaled. Old car, I have insurance, it could be worse. Still, I can’t shake a sense of foreboding… like it’s a sign of bad stuff to come.
The empty nest feels much emptier today. Still I have so much to be thankful for. And winter break is just around the corner.
Let’s not become a nation of victims.
It is so very hard to believe that you made such a bad decision.
Unless you completely own up and show some understanding it will never
go away. I am so sorry for you. It seems that there is just something missing in your
character. I hope you have a Happy Holiday.
My new iPhone 8 Plus is a piece of junk. 
Instead of making phones more fragile, can you PLEASE make them more durable so that they can withstand a drop instead of shattering all the time. I know it makes a ton of money for the phone companies, but sheesh, we are already having to pay so much to buy the phone in the first place! The batteries should last longer as well or be able to be replaced by anyone without voiding the warranty!
I’m happy that you volunteered to make your specialty for brunch tomorrow. But it’s obvious that you don’t really do this often. I had to leave the kitchen. Thank you for trying.
So lady in the row who wouldn’t move when they asked you to: 3 bottles of wine is a lot for any flight, but a 9:30 am flight?? Whoa. And no, my DH didn’t want to hear you praddle on ad nauseam about some old beau who you reconnected with after 28 years. And why he helped you connect to gogo inflight is beyond me- since you then spent much of the flight yakking loudly on your phone. And when the flight attendant told you what wasn’t allowed, you stopped… for a second. And then started right up again. THe ones who could have used the wine were your seat mates! I’d have preferred someone’s fake service or ESA pet to you any day. Oh, and flight attendant, fortunately the box of food you dropped on my broken ankle didnt hurt.
But we are here with he kids and the grand baby. All is right with the world.
Jeez-- get over it already. It’s not them; it’s you. Haven’t you noticed it’s always the same problems?
I truly have a lot to be thankful for on this fine Thanksgiving day
Lots to be thankful for- a comfortable retirement realistically looks very possible and affordable a few years from now, and DS finally received his PhD and is now in Alaska, doing a post doc with the advisor he greatly admires.
Well, not so thankful about the Alaska part, but mom no say in that decision, lol.
You don’t just ask “is it because you dont have right paper work?” just because I said it’s hard to find work as a foreigner. And yes, I DO HAVE limited right to work. Do you even know what you are asking? Ugh.
Hey (hopefully future in-laws), so glad you are able to afford things like Hamilton tickets for the kids for a holiday we don’t typically give gifts to adults for. Trying really hard not to feel like a loser for my previously-considered-great-idea to send a modest gift card. You are truly nice people and you invited DS’s sister to your holiday meal. I just hate feeling like the cheap relative…
