My husband is working double to finish a project at work. He got stung by a bee yesterday and is allergic and is all swollen. My kids are being brats. My back hurts. It's beautiful out and I can't really do anything. My kitten attacks my feet whenever I try to walk anywhere.

I'm sorry to hear all of that.
Send your kitten to attack the kids. It might distract everyone and put them in a happier mood. |

Sorry to hear that Swamp. Did you decide what you are going to do about your back problems? I am here at home. My BIL has Mom's car (he is supposed to fix it) so Mom has my car. I told Mom I'd be back to get it today - but I told DH I really don't need it b/c I can drive the Pick up truck. I was thinking the truck did not have A/C but it does (BIL fixed it). BIL also has had my FIL's 2nd car for 2 weeks and is supposed to be fixing that. This is how it always goes with him.
I installed the updated anti-virus on my PC and I guess I am avoiding doing house work. I am going to go re-do DD's bed- she wanted the sheet on her box spring (tempur-pedic) mattress to match the one on the mattress so I bought it for her. Hopefully it is not too much for me to do by myself - she it at work.
My Dog was dognapped by Grandma and Grandpa. DH went to cut the grass at out rental property and he will bring the dog home with him.
It is only about 80 degrees here - how hot is it there?

Does your area have a wine-and-chocolate delivery service and mobile masseuse?

I'm doing PT, traction, chiropravpctic, traction, Pilates, ultrasound, and electrostimulation for 6 weeks. If it's better, no surgery. And nd it's about 80. Relatively low humidity. Partly cloudy. |

I've been miserable all weekend too. Stay home sick on Friday with bronchitis and terrible back pain from injuries exacerbated by laying around all weekend. Can't sleep because of the congestion and coughing. Hope you feel better swamp.

Swamp, I can personally recommend PT for back pain. For me, it took about 1/2 dozen sessions to start feeling like my old self.
Is it too late to sign up the kids for camp?  |

And I got a frozen cheesecake on a stick dipped in chocolate. I think I've found my way to millions. How do I get a wine and craft show for my area? What is a wine and craft show? Add the frozen cheesecake and I will outdo Warren and Bill. |

Cats attacking your feet is all part of the cat owning fun.  They paw at your face, sleep on your keyboard, stare at you pooping, scream in your hallways, run headfirst into your prized gong. It's all great fun. You just haven't been conditioned with the right attitude. Take a tip from our local cat owning victims: Learn to love the abuse and your world opens up to all kinds of happiness. And remember what Ronald Reagan said: "With this much manure, a pony's got to be in here somewhere." |

Local vineyards amd crafters show up to hawk their wares at a hockey arena. It's organized by the Chamber of Commerce and part of a larger homecoming type festival. |

He wants to play with the angry birds. You know what doesn't bat at your iPad screen while you're reading? A puppy. They sleep 18 hours a day. And you can set up a little 2' high enclosure in the corner of the room that they stay in when you need some "me" time. But who wants a pet that doesn't bat away at iPad screens? That would be downright tolerable. |

Yesterday I did manage to go to a party at the sandbar in the river. It's about 100 yards out fro the shoreline near the mouth of a small tributary river. It's like a floating party. Water is shallow enough to walk around. About 50 boats were tied up. I had a few drinks to kill the pain. But the water is 68 degrees. Brrr. You need drinks to tolerate that |

My kitten attacks my feet whenever I try to walk anywhere.
Pick kitty up, sit in a comfortable chair and spend an hour or so dangling a kitty toy in front of her. Play with her and wear her out ....... she will sleep like a kitten and maybe ease the pain in your back.
Sorry about you DH and his bee stings. Does Benadryl or Allegra help?
Give the kids some books to read ....... Turn off all electronic toys, including computers.
Good luck ..........  |

Good luck .......... He has taken a ton of Benadryl. So if he's not working, he's sleeping. The cat is played with plenty. He's like the energizer bunny. He never stops. |

I want some cookies. Please. the dough needs about another 20 minutes in the fridge & then I start baking. My brother's cookie recipe & if they dough doesn't chill good, they spread out into a gooey chocolate marshmallow sugar mess. which is DELICIOUS, but doesn't pass the "cookie" requirements. And it's killing me to not eat the dough! |
