I am very excited. BUT I just realized this site isn't electric and our air mattress has a built-in electric pump.
I love camping! I also have an air mattress with a built-in electric pump. I bring this device and plug it into my car's lighter port.
On our last trip, the device blew a fuse, so I went to the bathroom where there was an outlet and filled up the mattress there. It's lightweight and easily carried.
Kudos on getting the camping reservation! I've never been able to get a last minute cancellation like that in a super-popular campground. It's like winning the lottery!
Hi Nitty, thanks for posting.
This took me to a site with multiple things. I am assuming you were referring to the item at the top of the page? One thing I have learned in my many years is never to assume. I also never thought about taking it into the bathroom. We are not far from the bathroom so that's a good idea.

I didn't tell him to shove anything guys, but I wanted to. And no, I haven't lifted a finger. But I don't want to be rude or mean because right now he has my kids and I need him to get them back to me by a decent time tomorrow or it throws off my plans. It would be just like him to get p*ssed and "unintentionally" run into traffic or some unforseeable event which delays him getting them back to me. I am not signing up his spots but I am not going to be nasty about it. It won't matter if I am or not. Part of me does want to be nasty and sign him up for something miserable but I am trying not to sink to his level. I can't believe he would trust me enough to ask him to sign him up. Besides he needs to register on this new volunteer system and he doesn't get that fact.
I had a horrible morning. I went to take the dog out and saw he was sniffing around his crate. I thought he saw a bug or spider or something. So I took him out and when we came back in he went back into S's room to the same spot. I was looking to see what he was chasing and there was a dam frog in the room!!! OMG I almost had a frickin heart attack!!! The dog was trying to eat it and I was NOT going to touch it and I was freaking out looking for something to scoop it up with to get it the he!! out of my house! YUK YUK YUK! okay I have a flair for the dramatic but I do NOT want frogs in my house. GROSS!
I don't know how the he!! that thing got in there, but I was disgusted. I called the landlord to see if he knew of any cracks in the foundation and of course he didn't. I think there is a tear in the screen by S's window and if he left it open it could have gotten in that way I guess, but YUK! He has been with J since last Wednesday and I don't think I have opened the window since. EWWWW it makes me want to move out.
I told my mom I don't know if I can ever sleep again. Blech!

WH, I'm sorry to hear about the poor toad. At least it wasn't a snake! If you have a hardware store near you, you might want to pick up a screen patch. They are small enough to stick over the torn screen w/o having to wait on your landlord to fix the screen. Cost is less than $10. Easy to stick them on and they do work.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Oh Lord, Job...don't even mention it. Of course, I did think about that. If I had a snake in my house I would run away screaming and never come back. I would hire movers to take out the stuff and to unpack it outside so no snakes would get in the new place. GAG!
Funny thing is last night I thought I heard a cricket chirping in the house. It was really loud. It must have been that dam frog. YUK!
It's gonna take me a while to get past this. A mouse I would expect. A frog, not so much.

kml - my thoughts exactly - they hop into my bedroom all the time, as it has a balcony (much better than mice which are vermin) but not one of them has turned into a prince, not one!!
WH, I am not suggesting that you be mean. You are divorced. It is what J wanted. He is a big boy and knows how to sign up for volunteer hours. You have done your part. It is all on him.
Hey WH, Here in TX having a toad in the house is just good luck. Don't ask me about the several doz. Scorpions I removed this summer (3 I found in bed with me!).
I have been racking my brain trying how to figure out how that dam frog got in here. I think I know.
Last time S had soccer practice (last Monday) I made him take his shoes off and keep them outside because they stunk. It was either Saturday or Sunday I brought them in because I figured they had aired out enough. That frog must have climbed into that shoe and worked it's way out. Thank God the dog found it because lord knows where it would have ended up. S's room had a rock wall but it has an exterior wall as well. And the only windows I kept open are the ones in the living room which are not low enough for a frog to jump into and the screens on those windows are not ripped. Maybe a tree frog could get in but not a toad of this size. AND it looks like the same frog that was hiding in my watering can a month or so ago to get out of the rain. So I think I solved the mystery. I won't do that again. The same thing happened at the other house. A frog hopped into S's shoe when it was in the garage. I still think it's gross though. But at least I know what happened. I feel much better now.
So something crazy is happening and I am afraid to mention it. I am interested in a guy at work. I have always thought he was cute, but he was married and I was married and we never really talked. Now he is divorced with kids and so am I. Recently we have started talking and running into each other at after work events. Now I am not ready to date, but I am interested in getting to know this guy better. I have been friendly with him and been more talkative and he seems to be friendly to me too. It scares me because this is the first time in a long time I want to get to know someone and I don't want to make any mistakes. Lol! I am just being myself and taking things very very slowly. Heck I don't know if he's even ready to date since he's only been divorced since beginning of the year. I'm still trying to focus on myself and the kids, but I do like him. I guess we will just see what happens.
Can't wait to get the kids back tomorrow and head off to vacation. I hope J doesn't play games with me. I think I will just snap.
