pattie - everything does sound good eh? that's cause i put a positive slant on things - that always works!!!
*******************************
POSITIVES
1) boys were thrilled with their room and the youngest one is actually picking up his stuff instead of leaving it everywhere. last night when i was doing the final kitchen clean up for the night, he came in with the last of the snack dishes he had and said 'the room is so clean i don't wanna do anything to mess it up' - for him to bring me the dishes was a 180 for him!!!
2) mmmmm - grilled out again last night - and watched a movie, this time I PICKED IT and he actually really enjoyed it
3) had the opp to be the OLD kitti last night during a pretty intensive conversation regarding the boys, and i opted to just let hubby handle it after i voiced my concerns - and hubby came thru like a champ!!!

have a blessed day people, and keep a positive slant on things.

This makes me feel better. Combined with the input on my thread about their hygiene, I feel a bit more normal.

------------ This is surviving. There is no such thing as a normal life, there's just life. So get on with it and enjoy it!
Would you and your H like to take a trip to Alaska? You could spend a night in my son's room....LOL The outside view is phenomenal. The indoor view could use your energy and expertise. You'd have to sleep closely...there's just a single bed...but it might be romantic...tehehe
Kitti... You are so right....even a day off the bb and so much happens...don't know if I could possibly catch up on everything, but you seem to be doing GREAT!!
It looks like you took some time off too??
My time away has given me new perspective and I am so enjoying how much progress there seems to be going on!
Wow - doesn't it feel good to purge all that kid stuff!
I made it through all three of their rooms last fall when H took them for weekends. Now H comes over and helps them clean them up. Yippee! The only hard one is my D9 - her room gets out of control the most easily.
Now I am tackling the play room again. The neighborhood garage sale is in two weeks. I am hoping to get rid of a bunch and make a bundle!
Your R with your H is sounding wonderful! Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor with us! You give me something to shoot for. It gives me continued hope.
Have a great weekend!
