Weekly Flylady Thread 17th November 2008

kazwookie

I remember years ago going out with this guy, and this weekend his 2 kids came to, (6 and 8 or there abouts) we went to the park, then a child friendly pub, he gave them a £1 each, off they went, but came back every 5 mins to check on us!!:rotfl:

Anyway the next time they came back, they had semi blown up balloons, the 8 year old in a very loud vocie, dad my balloon won't blow up and it has a teat thing on the end!:D

Needless to say they had put their money in the condom machine, and thought that they had bought themselves balloons.

The whole pub fell about laughing, whislt dad tried to explain between laughing ..................:rotfl:

Thanks for the endorsement Supergirl I felt harsh typing it - it's easy for us to see because we are outsiders looking in - and you are right too.

Johanne lots of us have been through this kind of carp, and have come out of it stronger - either in or out or a relationship. Don't feel guilty - that's where it gets us ...guilt we are working and leaving them with someone else. Guilt we are SAHM living off the state...we can lose every which way. Be strong and we are here for you when you want to vent, want some support or even advice.

Take care. Did you get a night out yet?

I feel harsh too Valli, but you're right, as an outsider one does have an emotionally detached point of view. And as yes, we've been there too. :rolleyes: It hasn't been a barrel of laughs in the Shattered household, and our marriage takes ongoing maintenance. I've been at the wrong end of a partner not doing his share... or anything at all really! :eek: But not any more. But I also recognise my part it that situation. If I did everything, he didn't have to do anything. If I was angry about it, then I was a nagging old cow. Hmmm, nothing like stopping doing everything to put all that straight!

But I really want you know Johanne even if it sounds like I'm being harsh/unfair/whatever... I genuinely want to help, and feel really bad for the situation you're in. I just know that you can change it. He won't.

havent got any tales of my own so dug these out of my laughs file!!

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister.
After a while he asked: 'Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and
one for cold milk?'

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she
was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't
remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.'

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much
that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'

BRITTANY (age 4) had an ear ache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in
vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom
explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her.
Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please
don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes my teeth cough.'

DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and
kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad:

'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in it?'

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.' Concerned, James asked: 'What happened to the flea?'

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... this particular Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient
daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

Trust me I have a list lol, she may only be 5 but she is giving me plenty to seek revenge later on.

johanne

Thanks everyone... i know i need to be tougher but i cant be!! I get guilty when i tell him he needs to do more etc as the atmosphere just becomes sh*t and sarah picks up on it and its me that ends up in tears. The whole reason weve split up is because i gave him and ultimatum and he didnt like it.... i been told to throw X out onto the street and let the council etc find a roof for over his head etc.... but i cant bring myself to do it... im just not that nasty

Valli - Nope not had a night out People i used to go out withn keep promising to meet up for a drink and ive even arranged for mum to have sarah. But there always seems to be some excuse the day before. I guess i just dont fit in anymore I only ever see X and my mum... oh and my childhood sweetheart wants to pop round now im single again... hes like a bad smell though.... always lingers..... Im not interested in the slightest though!
