4 weddings!!! :O

My mom just told me about a shower gift I could in on. I told her what I could afford. I felt proud of myself for saying this is my budget and I am not stretching it for others...probably the first time I have done this. Her response was positive too, adjusting the price point of the gift.

Next challenge will be in a couple weeks..im considering a jar of curry sauce or can of spam..which is best idea lol.

I hope everyone has a great day. Didn't make it on yesterday for very long as I was attending a funeral.

yep only 6 here i wish i could put my kids to bed. looking at 10 or 11 before that happens. lucky u.
oh cab be careful. i know its only once in awhile but the after affects in your veins.. oi!

we have two weddings coming up here.. not looking forward to either one. good chance i won't be going to them.

my kids are 4 and 2, so they go to bed early. They are also early risers so they need to go to bed early to get a decent sleep.

As I teenager I stayed up late, it's normal. 10-11 isn't bad at all.

It's fun helping with the wedding since its going to be very traditional. Ours was modern in the carribean. I love weddings and planning so its fun to help.

Since we were planning on moving to Canada and being old and stuff, we had a simple civil service. 3 weeks notice for the banns and very little planning. I was rushing around 2 days before the service buying a suit for the ocassion..

Good morning; happy bunday!

Morning, all.....yawn.....Up early, we played euchre with 'the kids' until midnight...even Jenny didn't want to get up; she gave me this look of panic, slid back under the covers to cuddle my hubby. Traitor. But it's nice a quiet for now..

A nice quiet day of watching the Masters, then Jenny and I have our usual 6:30 Sunday visitation at a nursing home, then home to collapse. Next week hopefully the wallpaper for the kids' billiard room will be here and hubby and I can pull the whole room together and surprise the kids! Busy, busy!

Lola....that's one of the things I love about performing weddings...meeting with my couples and hearing all about their wedding plans....I'm a sucker for weddings!!

Sunshine, good for you re crafts!! I doubt there's one I haven't done over the years!! Enjoy! Any idea what craft you're interested in?



Have a lovely day, everyone!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday so far. I have been trying to wait out my DS and DD (18 an 19) with their dirty laundry. I swear they change at least 2 times a day not to mention new towels for each every day. I certainly think that they are old enough to be doing some of their own washing. I have sadly discovered that they will wash one outfit at a time as required. Hubby looked and me last night an said "..not to be rude BUT are you ever going to do the laundry....".

So now I have two kids that complain about no clean clothes and a hubby who is not backing me up. Sooooo, after 1 week, I have thrown my hands in the air an have now started on mounds of laundry.

Ok, rant over LOL. That is a small problem in comparison to others problems . Pity parties for one are never healthy

[Lynn49]

LOL.....I had to laugh at the "clean towel" every day...our DD was like that when she lived with us...a new towel after her shower every day. Now, being a working wife/mom...not so much!! hahaha!!!
I never minded doing the laundry as long as the kids shoved their dirty laundry down the laundry chute we had....of course, I was not allowed to do her 'school' clothes since I could never do them as well as she could...lol...Really? How disappointing! haha!!
Maybe if you run a few of their white undies in with new red socks they might decide to do it themselves??

Have a lovely, if not particularly relaxing day, Hon!

My mom had both my sister and I doing our own laundry by 15. I also had a job by 15. We were expected to be somewhat independant. I'm guessing it's because both my parents were very independant at a young age (had my sister and got married at 16&18).

When I met DH (at 20) he barely knew how to do laundry. I've pretty much did his laundry since we met.
