I'm leaving my kids

[Tsiyu]

striking out on my own, livin' the bachelorette life.

It's a dog leave dog world.

They'll survive somehow.....



(fantasy over)

[ogradda]

1. that's one of my dailys

fantasies that is.

[Tsiyu]

4. we try, don't we?

Ogradda, they just don't know....the ways we COULD spend our time and energy.....*sigh*

[MichaelHarris]

2. are they

big enough to shovel snow and mow? I could use um, heck even the little one's you can strap a laundry basket on their back and swiffers on their hands and knees while they crawl around.

[Tsiyu]

5. Yeah, but now they're bigger

and they cost too damned much to feed.

if they had some Kid Kibble that came in a 50 pound sack I wouldn't complain.

[MichaelHarris]

14. you can still do it

Just buy a big ole bag of that Walmart brand Old Roy dog food and put it in Captain Crunch boxes, they'll never know the difference.

[Tsiyu]

18. I agree with Bleeding Heart.

awesome budgeting AND housework solution!

I once read Dave Barry say a good way to babysit a toddler on a Saturday morning was to turn on cartoons and empty a box of Cheerios all over the shag carpet.

15. Hey thanks for the idea....

actually I have mine stripping the beds to help me with housechores today..

[RandomKoolzip]

3. Imagine them as Keane Painting children and that'll never happen.

Those big, soulful eyes....that "Children of the Darned" thousand-yard stare.....okay, maybe this is gonna be easier than I thought.

[Tsiyu]

6. Now I',m Skewwid

You don't suppose they're plotting to kill me and usurp my vast wealth and fortune, do you?

[warrens]

7. Leave em about 3000 lbs of lemons and sugar

They'll never miss you.

Do not go see that Japanese movie, Nobody Knows

Edit to correct the title.

[Tsiyu]

9. Why? Pray tell

I'll google it. Sounds compelling.

8. I just sent my daughter to work with my husband

See how much he gets done. Actually he's just giving a tour of the office to a neighbor. But I had to have some "non-mommy" time :)

[Tsiyu]

10. Do you ever say to yourself

"If I hear someone say, 'Mo-o-m' one more time my head will blow up"?

[put out]

11. Well, that's better than "Dude"...

Maybe. Some days I want to change my name and not answer until they guess the right name.

21. I got so tired of that,

I was in a toy store once when my kids were about 4 and 7, and got so tired of hearing Mo-om, I stopped them and told them I didn't want to hear that word for the rest of the day. They could call me Fred or Roy, or sweetie pie, just not mom, or no toy. The woman standing near me started laughing, and couldn't stop.

[Tsiyu]

22. had the same effect on me

that laughing thing:bounce:

[hickman1937]

23. I gotta say, they really tried too!

They got their toy just for sheer effort.

[Tsiyu]

24. They can be very resourceful

when its in their best interest

[aQuArius]

12. Somtimes I feel so guilty...

when I get sooooooooooo EXCITED about them going to be with their dad for a few days. I know how you feel. :hi:

[Tsiyu]

19. Listen to the SO-O-O-O-U-U-U-N-D-S

of Silence...............O8)

:donut:

[Red State Rebel]

13. Envy me! I'm an empty nester :)

Sorry, didn't mean to be mean. It was actually hard to get used to at first, now it's just us and the dogs :)

[Tsiyu]

20. I am envying. I am coveting

It's awesome what the purple guy with the tuning fork and I need Scissors 61.

You see, I have no clue what that means but the kids convinced me to type that. I am being held hostage.

Help.



Me.

[Krupskaya]

16. Counting down 'till the end of winter break here...

two more days...just two more days...(sob).

[Tsiyu]

17. I feel your pain

I really, really do. If I step on one more Lego...
