Weekly Flylady Thread 31st May 2010

Triker

Waved eldest off this morning, she's sailing to shetland, so very proud.:D

Feels nice to say that, we've been through the mill with our DD1 Jojo....I understand more than you'll know you're bewilderment and frustration re your daughter at the mo.

One of the hardest, but most important and essential, parenting jobs we have is to know when to draw the line re behaviour with our children. Its our job to give them a message that certain behaviours are unacceptable and unsustainable and that they will not be tolerated or accepted as 'the norm'...
Whilst the decision to 'let go' of your daughter is extremely difficult Jojo, she'll understand from her experiences very soon that her 'absent' parent will not keep these promises re the lump sum money (they never do) and that the person (you) who has done the mind numbingly boring stuff...breakfast/dinner/tea/washing/cooking/cleaning...day in day out for infinite years has done so because its this that gives grounding and routine for her development.

She won't get it yet, but she will eventually....expect to see her sooner rather than later when the reality kicks in on some of her decision making re college.


Flying...erm...I done some stuff, DW, WM, off to work then 2 days off yipppppeeeee...

Sounds like you are having a rough time Carlsberg:( My hubby had a skin graft about 6 years ago and they weren't sure it had taken for a while, they are tempremental little beggars! It is all fine now though.
LO is doing well thanks, not been ill for about a month now *touch wood*, her medication seems to be working. Horrible boy is being kept away from her which is good.
Hope your BD can be chased away:A

HHC was good, i decluttered and cleaned the windowsill and window in my room, polished the mirrored wardrobes and hoovered through. Just need to make the bed and it should look better.

Hex I'm pleased that Tiger has turned up OK.

LadyL it's lovely to see you posting; so sorry you're still not having an easy time. I wish there was something I could do to help. Sending posi-vibes, in any case, and all the best for Friday. Please pass on my best wishes to Diva along with everyone else's.

Soappie I'm so glad BB has nothing worse than a wart; I think you're right to be cautious.

Sexymouse take care of yourself. I'm sure you're right about feeling weird with coming off anti-anxiety meds. So glad you have a venue sorted now.

Carlsberggal Have a Wolfy (((HUG))). Also sending posi-vibes to Danny.

Mr LW is on early shift today, so working from home. Just had our lunch (Shepherd Spy) and now he wants to play a Wii game for the rest of his lunch break .*rolleyes*

Off to the bank to pay in a cheque when he finishes (14:30), then a foray to Tesco's.

((((HUGS)))) and posi-vibes for anyone else needing them today.

Laters, folks.

Hugs for that, you're not alone with KH problems.

Took BB to the vets today. She fretted in the waiting room and then had to be literally dragged across the floor into the consulting room (as soon as she realised where we were going, she dropped into a full blown belly lie down!).

And did she try to get throught the tiny crack underneath the door, too??


Toots, Lady Liberty and Diva hugs.

Also hugs for carlsberggal.

Is the Julie on FB Juliejim??

Been to hosp this morning which was a symphony of poor organisation, but I'm so pleased to see they now have the funds for a flatscreen TV with their mission statement on in the foyer.:mad:

Flying wise off to dentist shortly and then DD1's room which is a horror!
