Wow. *more hugs*

Lynora glad to hear at least some good(?), you're still in our prayers doll.

On a more personal note.... Kellen got up before mommy today and found daddy's spray paint. The house, the outside furniture...... and.... my... truck..... gold. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

~hugs~ Good luck and know that we are here if you need us.

Thanks. I really appreciate all the support and good thoughts I've gotten from y'all here. Thank you for keeping me semi-sane. :)

We'll keep trying for as long as you need :)

Well I am back from the surg center and Cameron is doing good. He is really groggy though, I'm hoping he will go back to sleep for a little while.

All the way down the right side, the gas cap, and the front bumper. Not talking to him right now.... love him too much to express how angry I am.... the joys of parent hood. :/

On that note, this was a lovely lunch break... going back to work, where I can relax.

And the Shadow Posts...

That's worth a whole page in the ledger right there. So sorry you're having that sort of day.

On the upside, did you know that Magic Eraser and nail polish remover will get spray paint off the side of the house and off a truck without tearing up the original paint job?

*sigh* It only took me 3 hours to get everything and clean it all up. Now just the porch and the yard furniture to do.....and I am out of nail polish and magic erasers. :(

Its so not funny. We rent remember...my landlord would have pitched a fit.

Sorry to hear that Solnes...I'm sure one day(FAR FAR IN THE FUTURE) you will laugh about this with your young man. Right now I think he has some cleaning to do...is he helping you at the very least?

Lynora, I'm glad to hear things have taken a slight upturn. Hopefully this is a trend that continues.

I didn't know to also use the nail polish remover. Gotta love the Magic Eraser, friend to renters who have kids. It saves so many awkward conversations with the landlord. :)

I have to ask... Was he covered in gold paint after all of this artistry?

If only my mom had that when I was a tyke. I kept misspelling my name all over the place in crayon. When my mom freaked out at me, I honestly thought it was because I was misspelling my name!

Oh I do. Magic Erasers have gotten my security deposit back on two apartments so far. It was well worth the elbow grease and the time! :P

Is Adam Daigle really Will Wheaton? You be the judge.

So the great half orc debate is still raging. It's approaching combustion if I'm not mistaken.

No actually, just the stuff that wasn't his.

Uhm, he offered to help, but he isn't strong enough, it takes some real strength to get it off. :\

I am trying to decide how to punish.

sorry to hear about the gold spraypaint. hope you get some rest soon. Should we set up a care package of magic erasers and nail polish for you guys?

I hope you took pics, for future blackmail opportunities. Like when he brings a girlfriend by. Good luck!

At least make him sit and watch you work hard to clean up. Then he'll see what he put you thru.

I think I might just agree with this. Make him help out with cleaning the house.

We've been at my brother's since last Thursday. Today, he finally tells me that he's got wireless throughout the house. So, here I am, posting from the net-book. Yay me!

No, no pics, I paniced about how to clean it up. Uhm, he watched for the most part, and then it was time for him to go and get the meds and all, and then he went to his room when we got home and I finished cleaning it up. :\

I think it is time he def help clean around the house though.

Evening folks. Hope all is well with you

Trying very hard to be. My son had surgery on his teeth today so it's kinda stressful today.

It did, we were in and out in 90 minutes, which included the time needed for the anethstisia to take effect. He just struggles with dentests so they have to sedate him to do any work at all on him.

Glad everything went OK. Although, it's kind of understandable that he'd struggle with the dentist. I think most sane people do. Hell, my brother (already in his 20s at the time) once bit our dentist, and thereafter always had a brace put in his mouth while the guy worked.

Solnes & Moorluck: Just bring that story up when the kid brings home his first date.

lynora:I am very sorry for everything that is going on. If you ever need to roll some dice to escape from life, I would be more than happy to DM for you and friends.

taig: Dragon's Age is WAYYYY too addicting. I've been up since 5 am playing and stopped just to hop on here and see what I've missed. Buy it now!!! :D

EveryoneThanks for just being AWESOME!

Huzzah! Now I can hear my brother and my wife taking turns criticizing me. Oh joy!

Thats when you tell them to STFU and you leave.

Flash: Sorry you are dealing with so much crap right now. What kind of moron employees are you stuck with? I wish you could fire them and hire people grateful for the work. Don't know about Down Under, but here in SW FL, people are lucky to even find work at W*l-M*rt or local fast food joints.

Hope things turn around for you soon. Oh and

Lynora: FWIW, I'm still thinking positive thoughts for you and Bryce. Hopefully you stay semi-sane through it all. As for explaining it, they make books for kids to explain situations like this... maybe you can find one at your local library or the school counselor.

I love most accents. The extreme northern accent hurts my ears, butI love the austrailan and british, and southern, and Irish...*sigh*:)

And that's not a bad thing. Um...as long as it doesn't somehow remind you of Garfield.

Please bring on the Zombies... I would prefer them right now. :/

Work is not going to be any better any time soon. I went a little nuts today and decided to bruise my hand by slamming it into a tiled wall half a dozen times, followed closely by the wooden back door another half a dozen times to the tune of more expletives than one would normally think it necessary to use...

It also appears that on our equal busiest day of the week (Friday) I can get nobody to work. This means that instead of having 3-4 people on over lunch there will be just me, at least until 1pm which is just enough time to catch the last half of it. Not to mention the fact that I am supposed to be doing a delivery at 12pm that day as well.

Add in to that the fact that as predicted I did not get one of the jobs I applied for and this week is already shaping up to be yet another fun-filled ride into the suckitude that my life is fast becoming.

Of course then theres also the arguments that have started up yet again.

Not to mention other news that made my day start out depressing enough.

All in all, while obviously nowhere near as bad as a lot of you, my life right now is just one big depressing ball of stress that refuses to bounce and likes to roll around under the dirty counter collecting crap. :(

Sorry, Flash. I really hope life gets better for you.

You're making a convincing argument against my wife taking on a management job at a Subway shop.

Howdy folks. Still in Houston, but it's getting near to the point where I can't wait to leave. I tend to forget that my younger brother is kind of an asswhole who loves nothing more than to argue with people sometimes, just so he can attempt to prove them wrong.

Ah yes, the "three day" rule with family.

I was ready not to see my aunt at the hospital by the time I left. Mostly because she kept asking another family how many and what kind of pills their daughter/sister/friend took to kill herself, and how many times she had tried to kill herself. Ugh.

Nah, I associate Garfield with Lorenzo Music's voice.

Moorluck and Solnes: AUGH! Thank goodness for magic erasers.

David: Glad your son is ok from the dentist's appointment.

My stupid parents make us do Stocktake on the whole store every week. My sister usually does it, but she's away overseas so I have been doing it the last month or so. I hate it and it takes me twice as long to do because of that.

I mean it's relatively straight forward, you just gotta count stuff. I just have to show him what and how.

F***ing H***!
