HAPPY EASTER!

Heh, well, I guess we all have to decide how to deal with our stresses. I honestly think these people are kinda stupid. Now that might sound mean, but if it's true then that's the way it is! There is no common sense there at all. And this is the first time I've given them some of their own treatment after 7 years of it, so I think I waited long enough. Talking doesn't work for these "dummies" One of my other neighbors just rolls his eyes at them and says he can't believe they can be so self centered.
Anywayyyyy, we'll see if a dose of their own medicine does any good. They'll be sorry if I have to release my "swiss" on them. It's not pretty!!! Really, I'm a very private, quiet, stick to my own business person. I don't like to fight either.
Heh, thanks for the backup BJ.


Mrs.M, she's exactly one year younger than me! Pretty close!!

MG, well, then her brother is your age..they were 10 months apart!

Mg, you know what they say about walking in your shoes....we aren't.

I've always wanted a peacock, but my neighbour said if I got one he'd shoot it. (And he means it, too!)

10 months!!! An ooboo baby? heh

mg, yep and he was preemy so it was like twins!

Pretty birds, but very vocal!

Well, when I think of the mess my daughter's Macaw makes, I can't imagine what a peacock does! EWWWWWWWWWW!!

Heh, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I thought about that a while back and it kinda scared me. I remembered how hard it was to put my kids on the bus the first time, I thought it was so scarey and dangerous for them. And then Prom, and dates in general. As the years went on it kept getting to bigger things...my oldest son joining the Air Force and spending his first year in Iceland. My daughter moving away with a guy I didn't like. (and marrying him ..uggg). Then my youngest and all his rebellions in school and at home. He's the "vocal" one and let me know the older ones being grumpy and quiet were actually better! Then he joined the Army, and sending him off to boot camp was sooo hard....I thought. He came home for Christmas from boot camp and I watched his girlfriend of 4 years blow him off with an engagement ring in his hand. And I took him back to the airport, and stood there with tears in my eyes as he left to go back to SC. And it was sooo hard....I thought. And then, he went to war, and my heart broke. He came home for leave which was wonderful, but then I had to take him to the airport and send him back to war again....and it was the hardest yet. OMG, I just don't want any more of these tests. Please God, please. I don't know where he is right now, I only hope he's safe and ok.

BUT! I have a pretty baby grandbaby and that's a good thing. I have to go see her tomorrow and enjoy the time she's safe and easy.

When I had three in diapers at once, then four kindergarten and below, then six in school at once, seven altogether (from age 18 to newborn),I thought things would get easier when they got older. It has in many ways -- I'm not pregnant or nursing, or getting up for feedings in the middle of the night. I don't have a preemie in ICU, or a four month old in trauma with a head injury, or a child in the cardiac ward with a blood clot. But now I have four teenagers, making plans and decisions of life-long importance, plus a newly-engaged son making a career change, plus two married sons who have added daughter-in-laws and grandchildren to the mix.

It was wonderful then and it is wonderful now. I wouldn't trade it for anything! But it's not easier -- just different. They've grown, but I haven't outgrown being a mom.
