ok maybe it would help if i listed my stresses. my kids are still home.(the lice thing) everyone is sending their children here so i can check their kids heads for lice. for those of you who missed what my mother in law said about me it boils down to my kids are dirty & i abuse them. & yay...they are coming to visit on friday to drop the grandma off & then coming back on sunday. my meds are like truth serum & i am mad! last time i told them to PLEASE drop off the grandma AFTER 3 as i had things to do during the day they showed up at 1 & when they couldn't track me down left her with my neighbor.since my neighbor is having a nervous breakdown i don't want them to do that so i told my husband they have to be considerate this time & come AFTER 3.he says no problem i'll have them come first thing in the morning.you have to understand that his grandma is such a martyr that she'll sit in the dark & wont eat or drink or breath till my husband gets home so i went nuts....& boo hoo...embarrassed him caus people could hear me yelling. did i mention that my middle daughter has horrible night terrors when her great grandmother sleeps over?something to look foward to. I thinked i mention that i emptied my bank accunt of all the money i'll ever have b/c my brother needed it to buy a house & he KNOWS i HAVE it & i'm not USING it...originally he wanted to invest it & i put my foot down so when he asked to borrow it what could i say? so i'm talking to my mom & she says....I SAW THE HOUSES YOUR BROTHER BOUGHT. HOUSES????? HOUSES???????????????????????HOW MANY?????never mind.i feel sick. i don't even want to know. my summer boss calls me & says HURRY UP!we're going to do a camp christmas week!call all your former campers!get your staff together! i'm having enough trouble getting a staff for next summer!& campers phone numbers?never had em?didn't you? well...i finally figured out how to get rid of my the married man whop kept trying to get in my pants.it was easy!i got really really friendly with his wife.now the situation is just too icky even for him so that's one thing off my back.as a matter of fact i've started taking care of his kid & my dd has a bad crush on his ds.i was coming back from the kids show on sunday...my h had left me w/ no car.i'm waiting 10 min at car service when the guy says to me(mind you we are loaded down with tons of gear)HOW MANY ARE YOU? it's me & 4 children oh..i can't take you.it's against the law. what? ican take you in to cars but i can't take you all in one. it's ME & 4 CHILDREN...you're out of your mind if you think i'm splitting them up. sorry. so youre telling me there isn't a car service that will take us & we are stuck here for good. ya right. anyway...i hope i made somebody out there laugh & i wish i had a valium.
I wish you had a valium too, LOL. I tried to follow your post. I am sorry you are having a rough time. Are your kids going back to school tommorrow? For your sake, I hope so. Hugs.
Do you hate me too? Its okay to hate everybody sometimes, SuziQ! I do it all the time...but it usually always passes and I love everyone again. I hope this happens for you too...
suzi, i second what keli said. i hope you start to gain some serenity soon and that your kids are nit free.
also...........just an fyi for your mil (should the need arise) children that are "dirty" are far LESS prone to get lice. it is the clean children that are more apt to get it. the reason for this is that the lice cling to the hair folicles. on dirty children with oily hair the lice can't 'cling'. so if mil brings it up again just tell her that and then to put that in her pipe and smoke it!
sorry, but my kids have had lice issues before as well and it's a pain in the you know where. but my mil (a former nurse) was the one who told me that 'cause i freaked out because i couldn't figure out why my kids had it cause they are clean kids.
as for your brother, if those houses were bought with your money, i would seriously demand he pay you back immediately..........boo hoo if he has to sell off some of his "investments" OR demand he make you an equal partner. that way you stand to make more money.
i don't know if i'm out of line and if i am, i apologize. i am just sick of people being treated badly when they don't deserve it. and honey, you don't deserve it!
of COURSE i don't hate ANY of you.... i already know that about cleanliness & lice. that's why i'm known as the levelheaded mom in the neighborhood(beleive it or not)to ask advice about lice. i've gotten advice such as take your family to a hotel & fumigate the house(yeah if your rich) get a professional nit picker..they hang out on the corners in borough park(lovely) SPRAY THE KIDS W/ BLACK FLAG & WRAP THEM IN PLASTIC(??????????) & then there's:make sure your husband moves out of the house!(excuse me?who do you think is picking the nits?besides,he has no hair) so i have already given my mother in law the riot act.the child abuse part came from putting hair dye in my daughters hair to cover up where she dyed it pink. heck..i'd dye it any color they want since it seems to prove to keep the they lice away. the thing is they'll say anything they want to me but they'll never ask my sister in law why she never noticed her husband was always drunk & a vibrant jaundice yellow before he died for fear of p***ing her off.me...it's ok. as for the money...i just hate what it says what my family thinks of me.it happens to be another secret i have to keep from my husband.but i think they would rather i don't have the money in my possesion...you know...with the tendency to be MANIC and all. i just don't see any other explanation. otherwise i cannot beleive my mother didn't say do NOT give your brother money.she encouraged it.i didn't know what to say.it was hard enough for me to get out of it when he wanted to help by investing it for me.but then i would have to be in a position of asking for my own money(again)in drips & drabs as i needed it ..a position i wanted to avoid.no one was happy.so i let it pass. this time it was my brother asking for help.what could i do.? let me give you an example. you know when someone calls & says..."what are you doing on sunday?" NOT.."can you help me move on sunday?"...that's my brother.the 1st question is harder to answer.
God could not be everywhere, so
maybe it would help if i listed my stresses.
my kids are still home.(the lice thing)
everyone is sending their children here so i can check their kids heads for lice.
for those of you who missed what my mother in law said about me it boils down to my kids are dirty & i abuse them.
& yay...they are coming to visit on friday to drop the grandma off & then coming back on sunday.
my meds are like truth serum & i am mad!
last time i told them to PLEASE drop off the grandma AFTER 3 as i had things to do during the day they showed up at 1 & when they couldn't track me down left her with my neighbor.since my neighbor is having a nervous breakdown i don't want them to do that so i told my husband they have to be considerate this time & come AFTER 3.he says no problem i'll have them come first thing in the morning.you have to understand that his grandma is such a martyr that she'll sit in the dark & wont eat or drink or breath till my husband gets home so i went nuts....& boo hoo...embarrassed him caus people could hear me yelling.
did i mention that my middle daughter has horrible night terrors when her great grandmother sleeps over?something to look foward to.
I thinked i mention that i emptied my bank accunt of all the money i'll ever have b/c my brother needed it to buy a house & he KNOWS i HAVE it & i'm not USING it...originally he wanted to invest it & i put my foot down so when he asked to borrow it what could i say?
so i'm talking to my mom & she says....I SAW THE HOUSES YOUR BROTHER BOUGHT.
HOUSES?????
HOUSES???????????????????????HOW MANY?????never mind.i feel sick. i don't even want to know.
my summer boss calls me & says HURRY UP!we're going to do a camp christmas week!call all your former campers!get your staff together!
i'm having enough trouble getting a staff for next summer!& campers phone numbers?never had em?didn't you?
well...i finally figured out how to get rid of my the married man whop kept trying to get in my pants.it was easy!i got really really friendly with his wife.now the situation is just too icky even for him so that's one thing off my back.as a matter of fact i've started taking care of his kid & my dd has a bad crush on his ds.i was coming back from the kids show on sunday...my h had left me w/ no car.i'm waiting 10 min at car service when the guy says to me(mind you we are loaded down with tons of gear)HOW MANY ARE YOU?
it's me & 4 children
oh..i can't take you.it's against the law.
what?
ican take you in to cars but i can't take you all in one.
it's ME & 4 CHILDREN...you're out of your mind if you think i'm splitting them up.
sorry.
so youre telling me there isn't a car service that will take us & we are stuck here for good.
ya right.
anyway...i hope i made somebody out there laugh & i wish i had a valium.
I wish you had a valium too, LOL. I tried to follow your post. I am sorry you are having a rough time. Are your kids going back to school tommorrow? For your sake, I hope so. Hugs.
Missy
I will say a prayer that they are nit free now. Don't want you going to jail for battery. Hugs.
Missy
Do you hate me too? Its okay to hate everybody sometimes, SuziQ! I do it all the time...but it usually always passes and I love everyone again. I hope this happens for you too...
If you want to talk about it, we're here, okay?
Love ya honey,
Keli

i already know that about cleanliness & lice.
that's why i'm known as the levelheaded mom in the neighborhood(beleive it or not)to ask advice about lice.
i've gotten advice such as take your family to a hotel & fumigate the house(yeah if your rich)
get a professional nit picker..they hang out on the corners in borough park(lovely)
SPRAY THE KIDS W/ BLACK FLAG & WRAP THEM IN PLASTIC(??????????)
& then there's:make sure your husband moves out of the house!(excuse me?who do you think is picking the nits?besides,he has no hair)
so i have already given my mother in law the riot act.the child abuse part came from putting hair dye in my daughters hair to cover up where she dyed it pink.
heck..i'd dye it any color they want since it seems to prove to keep the they lice away.
the thing is they'll say anything they want to me but they'll never ask my sister in law why she never noticed her husband was always drunk & a vibrant jaundice yellow before he died for fear of p***ing her off.me...it's ok.
as for the money...i just hate what it says what my family thinks of me.it happens to be another secret i have to keep from my husband.but i think they would rather i don't have the money in my possesion...you know...with the tendency to be MANIC and all.
i just don't see any other explanation.
otherwise i cannot beleive my mother didn't say do NOT give your brother money.she encouraged it.i didn't know what to say.it was hard enough for me to get out of it when he wanted to help by investing it for me.but then i would have to be in a position of asking for my own money(again)in drips & drabs as i needed it ..a position i wanted to avoid.no one was happy.so i let it pass.
this time it was my brother asking for help.what could i do.?
let me give you an example.
you know when someone calls & says..."what are you doing on sunday?"
NOT.."can you help me move on sunday?"...that's my brother.the 1st question is harder to answer.
