Hi there

Do they offer remedial courses in eating? I swear to fuck my kids can't eat unless it's jamming a whole pretzel in their tiny mouths and then spitting it out 10 seconds later, or taking 4 hours to chew one broccolis. WTF

On an airplane to Amsterdam and then on to Minneapolis where I will enjoy freedom from the oppressive Danish regime until Thursday.

The in-laws head back to the mid-west this morning after their week and a half long visit. I can't wait to get home from work today and have a quiet normal household again.

my neighbor's (who have kids the same age as my kids, thus we interact fairly frequently) both have in laws that live close. in talking to Dan (the dad) its a double edged sword. babysitters anytime they need, but its rare that family ISN'T there. like 5 nights a week.

Both my parents live around here and are willing to watch my son anytime which is nice. It's just my hyperactive MIL that can get really get on my nerves. She means well but should only be dealt with in small doses.

Good morning! We're planning to move on from Sedona soon, on up to the Grand Canyon. I've never been before! Probably spend a week or so there, then on up to Page.

MIL leaves today. Wifey made her cry about her delay with moving out. She's a "collector" (aka. hoarder) and there is so much shit in her house that she can't wrap herself around even starting. She's been finding ways to justify not retiring, despite being 70 and the company not really needing her anymore, just to avoid it.

I was up until midnight trying to help her develop a plan of just starting with one drawer and a trash bag, then a 2' square, and moving across the house accordingly. I think realistically she needs a therapist to make it happen.

First day on the new job and I've done not much if anyy and won't until almost 10am. Hell of a start to the day.

Mornin!

Got a rental car for the day so we can go into San Francisco unencumbered by our truck and camper. I know it’s not possible, but we will be trying to pack all we can into today as we must scoot along tomorrow.

For me, a 1200 mile buffer is MINIMUM. I don't give a shit how nice it is having babysitters any time... :D

Please see quote above.

I do not care for this grey weather.
Dude. Even if you woke up BEFORE it got light... it has only been grey for 4 hours. :rofl: It's a good thing you don't live in the PNW any more.

solution for the MIL - have you wife take her on vacation, then the house "mysteriously" burns down while they're gone.

I like having my in-laws over. They are helpful and nice, and the MIL likes to cook.

I also get along well with my parents. If they wanted to live indefinitely here and help out I'd be totally fine with that.

A friend recently confided in me that the secret to talking to his MIL is consuming edible cannabis treats before engaging.


Let's just say it's a low air tire and shart on the way to kiddos school kinda day.
