Break a leg more better! grumble...grumble...grumble...
Ran into the director after the show last night. I know she didn't mean it this way, but it came across that she thought the Mrs. and I were the only reasons the finale wasn't working.
I flamed her in an email this morning. Told her we've got all we can handle, we've done what we were told and in seven more performances we won't get that excited about the song. (In fairness it IS a cool song and scene, but we just did not have enough rehearsal time, so we're struggling just to get the words out).
Then I went over and flamed a bit in the religion wars. Think I'll just stay over here today.
Morning all! I'm better now (going to catch up...)

"my mud boots"
Those boots wouldn't happen to be yellow?

Oh - and as a last suggestion, hold off on all of this until after the holidays. Wise counsel. We're doing a bit better. We got p'od at the director last night, so we can focus some negative energy on someone else and not each other...;-)
Waiting until after the holidays is a wise decision. Haven't talked it through with the Mrs. but I think we may scale back on any travel and other stuff and just "be" at home.

My wife and me are both not very good housekeepers, but we are married to each other. Sometimes the house can look a mess.
To: SuziQ
You mentioned your wife worked at a homeschool academy. Could Jr. take some of his courses there? We're thinking of that. Specially if he flunks out of 8th grade. It's expensive, but she'd get a discount.

Good Morning Master Dwarf! It's good to vent once and a while and blow off some steam. And it's Friday, and it's rainging so I have a good excuse not to make little sticks out of big sticks when I get home.
I hope I didn't just post something untoward. :)

and having to stop and take my shoes off to go to the bathroom, then put them back on oooooh I hate that! One of my SILs is like that- positively neurotic! Needless to say we don't visit her much.
To: RosieCotton
Hi Rosie, hope you are OK, we haven't seen you over here in awhile, I don't think.
To: Overtaxed
Ummm make that "raining".
To: Lil'freeper
Ok, have some errands to run. Be back later to check on the elf-bashing.
To: g'nad
No, the missus ain't military... but I could care less about how the towels are folded, and I don't expect a white glove clean house... little things like, when your done using somethin' put it away... a place for everything and everything in it's place... clean as you go, don't let things pile up so that you're overwhelmed at the end of the day...if you haven't touched it or needed it in a year, get rid of it...knickknacks are trash, a muisance... Yup, that's it exactly. I've finally gotten Mrs. Stormhands to the point that we're gonna get rid of a lot of crap. She's willing to store some of her collectible stuff 'til we get more space (rennovate the garage to a family room and build a "Florida room" on the back). That's major progress.
We were doing better until the little one came along. We had everything in it's place and were able to keep things picked up. But now there are toys all over the place. This kid is particularly bad about this. We don't have a single video in the right box...
I've put my foot down and told her that most of her Mom's stuff is NOT coming to our house.
To: Lil'freeper
Elf-bashing? Not on MY watch, sister!
To: g'nad; HairOfTheDog
she's the kinda gal I'd serve food to, let the dog lick the plate clean and then in full view of her, put the plate back in the cupboard... My cousin once had a houseful of guests over for Thanksgiving. The cat pushed the turkey off the counter and the dog was licking it.
She said "let me go into the kitchen and get the other turkey I cooked."
She took it, ran it under the faucet and served it. There was no "other" turkey...

Actually, I have a pretty good bladder! - I was exaggerating the frequency of the trips to induce more sympathy! Heh.

Elf-bashing? Not on MY watch, sister!
"Ahhh....it passed!"

Good morning, everyone...
Things have slowed down here at work, enough for me to post some during the day anyway. Hope everyone has a good one!
Saw the new trailer on TV last night... seeing the Ents in action (however briefly) was way cool!
To: Corin Stormhands
She took it, ran it under the faucet and served it. Yup, doggie slobber washes right off, no muss no fuss.

...I was exaggerating the frequency of the trips to induce more sympathy... well you get none of that here... you know where to find sympathy in the dictionary, don't yuh?...
