    [QUOTE]Wally - this might be TMI but before I found the lovely large fan that I set up in the living room I would sit here in a t shirt and my undies because it was so damn hot. And no one was around to give a shiiiit.

    <div>LOL! </div><div>OK, I have a TMI confession. This morning, I THOUGHT I was home alone. Was in the middle of the great room in short nightgown trying to get a kink out of my leg, kind of hopping around like a weirdo. MiddleDaughter comes into the room. GAH! She's like,'WHAT are you doing?" I'm like,"Just ninja dancing in my nightie." </div><div>
    </div><div>We laughed hysterically. Again, I love that little nerd. I just hope she's not traumatized by the event. </div>

  • The whole scouting thing is like a lot of things that come up with kids. It can be good, but there's some stuff you need to watch out for. And maybe un-do. Older kids can grasp that some people/organizations may not have the exact same values as we do, but they still can be worthwhile. We talk about things like that a lot with our kids and I think it's valuable because it teaches them to 1) know their beliefs/opinions; 2) respect those of others; and 3) learn to see that much of the world is not a matter of black/white, but lots of gray.

    <div>Something similar happened to me with my mom. Except she was bending down cleaning up the milk she spilled on the carpet. And she wasn't wearing underwear. That was unpleasant. </div><div>
    </div><div>Also, there was one time that she walked into my room wearing nothing but her tennis shoes and she had her purse over her shoulder.

My poor H was so embarassed - as was my mom.</div>

  • Glad I could help. Sorry you had a schitty night though : ( 

    Also I think my phone died. I am going to have to go get my charger. 
  • Wally, what's the concert?
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • Sorry you had a bad night, Angel. 

    Concert is Big & Rich. H & I saw them at a sewer convention about five years ago and have loved them since. MiddleDaughter loves them, too. 

    Yes, I did say 'sewer convention.'

  • Yeah, I can't really do lots of country music.

    MiddleDaughter LOVES country. She begged to go to this when she saw they were nearby. (about 100 miles away) And she gave me that 'please mom' puppy face. Gah. Obviously, it worked. 

    Angel, what happened this evening?

    <div>We used to do that to my mom. She was so fun. If I had seven freakin' kids, I'd become a serious alcoholic. </div><div>
    </div><div>Hmmmm, maybe that is why she was so fun?</div>

  • LOL! Seven is a lot. Hell, four is a lot. Both of my parents have 3 siblings, and I thought each of them came from a pretty big family.

    <div>It is a lot. But it was fun. I am the youngest BY FAR (oopsy!) so it was like the best of both worlds. I had a ton of sibs, but once I was about 10, it was just me at home. SIbs would come home for visits/holidays and such. </div><div>
    </div><div>I am 41; oldest is 60. He and I never even lived in the same house. All seven still alive and kickin' and we will ALL be together next weekend!!! THAT is rare. </div><div>

  • I saw Big & Rich a few years ago at a local concert with a bunch of different artists. It was so much fun. I love country music.

    Ehh, well I found out today that my nana doesn't have a lot of time left and I've been upset and moody which led to some arguing with FI, and then he went to see the Dark Knight without me, which I got all upset over, even though I don't want to be in the move theater til 3 am and it wasn't even his fault that his brother surprised him with tickets for his birthday. I'm just in a mood, so every little thing is making me cry. I'll probably feel ridiculous about it in the morning.
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • Oh Angel ... so sorry! 

    News like that makes everything suck. 
    image
  • Angel, I'm sorry. That's hard news to hear.
    Wally, my mom was one of seven, but her mom was one of eleven. My grandma once told my mom that all her memories of her mother as a kid were of her pregnant. She was nineteen years older than her youngest brother.

  • Wally - my mom was a menopause baby. Her closest sibling in age is 9 years older. H is kind of similar. His oldest brother is only two years younger than my mom, but his youngest older brother (H is the youngest) is only 18 months older than he is. 

    Angel - I am so sorry to hear aobut your bad night <3

  • I can't imagine having 11 children... I want 3 and sometimes I think that's too many. 3 little people is a lot to keep track of all the time, lol.

    <div>Wow, Zizi, 11? That is a lot. Same age diff as my oldest brother. He was already off at college when I was born. I am sure my sibs would say the same thing about Mom always being pregnant. </div><div>

    <div>True! Even my three are a handful sometimes and they aren't little anymore! DD was 11 and 13 when the younger ones were born, and was always (still is!) a great help. She was smitten with them both from the start. </div>
    image
  • Wally, how old was your DD when you married your H?
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • Yeah, 11 kids, and no indoor plumbing or electricity for most of it.
    When they met, he had come from Germany to experience the Wil West. he met her homesteading. He proved out 2 more homesteads in different states after they married, and then moved on to Colorado. Family story has it that at that point she'd had enough, and put her foot down when he wanted to leave CO-they had 6 kids by then.
    I can't fathom it at all.
    Wally-thanks.
