I'm like that too and our house hasn't been really "together" since we moved in. It's been several years!! Problem is I can't get my wife to coordinate with me to go thru a lot of her stuff and organize it. Frustrating.i am a clean freak as i always like the house clean and things in its place. to me a clean house is a happy house
Really, folks, did Christ REALLY say that we were supposed to stay in an abusive situation and tough it out in our marriages until we eventually got killed? REALLY????? JUST so we could say "At least I didn't commit adultery by divorcing"! REALLY???
My vent for the day? Well, my husband is deployed and the end is near.....ish and his unit is like refusing to give us any hints as to when they will be getting back. On top of that he got orders from the Army to move to Fort Riley Kansas just 48 hours before he was supposed to get locked in for fort lee virginia (which is where my mother is, and our house, and all our stuff) so somehow next month I have to pack up our daughter and whatever I can fit into my car and drive back to CO since the Army will only pay for our move to Kansas if we both move from Colorado. I am happy he will be back and safe and we will be together and I know God has a plan for us. But REALLY!? *vent over* lol
((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) There really isn't any logic to the Army is there? My son is waiting to find out about PCS from Ft. Carson along with a "maybe" deployment. Right now he's on medical hold so we'll see what happens.
I'll be praying for you guys. Army life is not easy. I survived the Navy, but I think Army life would have sent me right over the edge!
Stupid cat... Doesn't know whether she wants to be affectionate or slash my arm off...
Thanks! It was just completely out of the blue. We have been at Fort Carson for 5 years now, but he was re-enlisting for Virginia, so I moved home when he deployed and we have a house here and everything and my daughter loves it and being a few miles away from grandma. The Army was all "yes! we are going to lock you in for orders to Virginia!"
Literally a few hours later he called me back saying we were moving to Kansas. Hahahaa uhhhhhhhhhhhh
I have a similar vent.Really, folks, did Christ REALLY say that we were supposed to stay in an abusive situation and tough it out in our marriages until we eventually got killed? REALLY????? JUST so we could say "At least I didn't commit adultery by divorcing"! REALLY???
Take it up with the Scouting higher-ups?This is a good idea. I've wanted to vent about this for days but I dare not on facebook since some of the parties involved are friends.
My son has been in the same Cub Scout pack since he was a Tiger (first year for the uninitiated). He's now a Webelo 2 which will be his last year as a Cub Scout. All this time, the den and pack meetings have been on Fridays which suits us just fine since we have swimming on Monday and Wednesday, AWANA on Tuesday and Girl Scouts on Thursday. This has been our schedule for several years now.
Last year we got a new den leader and quite frankly he stunk because the kids got very little done in the den meetings. Of the 9 badges my son currently has, we did 5 of them on our own at home. That's all well and good but at least half the time we got to the den meetings and he'd be like, "You guys can do what you want because I don't have any plans for the meeting."
So this year, he let us know before the first meeting that he'd be gone all of September so I told everyone that I'd put together the meetings for September. So I did all this research and put together a booklet for the boys to get their forester badge. And the wife of this guy is just all snarky about it saying that we should concentrate on the the "important" badges.
First, the four badges that the den leader did help the boys get last year are the four that are required for their Webelo patch and the arrow of light. Second, other than those four, what makes one badge more important than the others?
In addition to that, she tells me that they are thinking of changing the den meetings to another day of the week and that they want to set up several tours of various places around town and then not do the den meeting at all. She got really bent when I told her that that simply would not work for our family and then she tells me that I need to prioritize. I told her there was no prioritizing needed because the kids have to do swimming for their PE for school (we homeschool) so missing a day is not an option. AWANA is church related, so they won't be missing that and I can't put Cub Scouts over Girl Scouts because I"m the co-leader for my daughter's troop and even if I wasn't it wouldn't be fair to tell my daughter that what she does is unimportant because my boy's den leader doesn't want to do his job. Thankfully, I wan't the only parent who had a problem with this idea so... But I'm still really irritated.
Sorry this was so long.

Ok, seriously freaking out. Somebody tried & almost succeeded to break into the private restroom at my office while I was using it today. I have been literally shaking. Who does that??
