I think it's funny that
jstar's PV = Puerto Vallerta
KK's PV = photovoltaic

[TurboClaudia]

ahhhh... i was totally confused by KK's explanation of what i *thought* she was saying about Puerto Vallarta PV. thank you for clarification, MCsb.

[jstar]

that is funneh. i *would* like to go PV (in addition to going TO PV)

[nuggetsmom]

I was getting confused too but attributed it to my general lack of focus on any one thing

[KKmama]

I feel kind of : or maybe just . I obviously have PV on the brain (and no, not the beachy one). I read that Jess wanted to "go PV" not "go to PV".

I'm just super excited about it. I've been interested in it for *years*, and I can't believe we're actually doing it. (I wish we could ditch the gasoline, too, but that's just not as feasible right now.)

You know what is really : ? When your 5 y.o. is so "busy" that he forgets to go potty until too late and has a pee accident. (Okay, I can : here, but I can't really go off on him about it, y'know? The accident itself is pretty much a "punishment", IYKWIM, not that he needs to be punished for it.)

OMG, I'm losing my mind. My MIL is here. She's been here since Thrus and doesn't leave until Sun. She does NOTHING all day but lie on the couch and watch TV. I don't realy expect her to help (remember the major head trauma a year+ ago? she's not in the best mental shape) but MY GOD, CAN I PLEASE HAVE A MOMENT OF NO JERRY SPRINGER AND JUDGE TV SHOWS?????????????? I have to fix every meal/snack/bev for her. DH hasn't taken any time off work : so it's me me me doing it all all all. She's very sweet and kind, and not in my way, but I don't know if I can last the rest of the week without being able to even sit on my couch for 30 min and vege after I perform the miracle of getting both kids to sleep at the same time. : : :

Okay, vent over. I'm so consumed by this, I'm not sure I even have anything else to say. Is it too early for tequila shots?

Nope. Maybe you could give her some, too, so she won't notice when you turn the TV off.

It is NOT too early. I'm going to crack open the wine tonight...inspired by my talking about getting alcohol in the house... Meg, I feel your pain.

[Miss Juice]

cracking open the wine here RIGHT NOW.

Thanks for the love, ladies. It's almost silly how much better it makes one feel. Now I will whine one more time, and tomorrow will be a better day darnit!

Just to make things even more fun, my cell phone and my palm pilot BOTH bit the dust, spectacularly and independently, within 24 hours of one another. : Cuz what I really wanted to do was go shopping...but my office doesn't run well without them. The basement thing is just one big headache, and it involves 382 phone calls and 94 consultations, all of which have to be done in the right order. There's something about a mama on the phone that draws children like magnets, making the entire process just that much more difficult. And my dear, dear DH is having an even more trying week than I, so there's no buffer zone. We are both :

And Meg, I have to say, I'd take my pain over yours almost any given day! This I can handle - the MIL situation would put me over the edge. Or certainly in the tequila.

Hugs all around - I haven't really read the last couple of pages but as I said, tomorrow will be a better day.

YUP! It is then that I am cought shouting at them "can I talk to you and the person on the phone at the same time??????" It was part of a script about helping kids realize that you can't pay attention to them when you are one hte phone.

I have done a million things today and J is totally neglected. The ants have moved in, and my washer is on its last leg but I decided to put in the couch cover to help the washer out of its misery.
I must find another one and order it right now while my kids are fighting and doing book journals

[A&L+1]

Just letting you know, Miss Meg, that I fully support your tequila consumption. Sounds like trying times for you (and the kind that doesn't feel good to complain about because she's "very sweet and kind.") We are a no-tv during the day house (shhh...my daughters don't know we have a tv) and I feel that this is totally the only way to escape the maddening Judge Montel Springer insanity. I really really feel for you!

Gotta go work, but HI to everyone else too.

Life here is still good.
