A Midsummer Night's Dream (Summer 2014 Secret Santa) Discussion

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

Ugh, you guys... Woke up with the WORST headache today. Some apple juice, Gatorade, an ibuprofen and some of my kids goldfish crackers later, I feel a bit better, but it's gonna be one of those "swimming uphill in molasses" days.

Uuuurrrrgh. Zombie head, for real.

Ugghhhhhhhh, those days are seriously the worst! I hope you feel better, having a headache is no fun.

I had the worst night sleep ever. Sometimes I wish I was single just so I didn't have to play tug of war with the blankets every night lol. Then, our AC is off (it's been in the 70's) and the birds start up at 4 am right outside our bedroom window. It sounds like the trading floor at Wall Street, but in chirps. Oh, and the dog likes to sleep on my pillow (where my head is). Anyone who is a heavy sleeper is lucky!

I feel your pain.  I had a 6 year old with nightmares waking me up all night.  At 3:30 I finally gave up & just put her in my bed & slept on the floor so I could get some sleep.  She doesn't get nightmares very often, but when she does she comes in shaking & crying & feel so bad for her.  Luckily she's the only one that gets them (out of 6 littles).

I'm zombified today (have to get up at 5 to get everyone up, dressed, fed, 30 minutes of piano practiced per kid, & off to school by 8).  And boy oh boy did summer finally hit us here in VA.  98 degrees with 100% dripping wet humidity.  Sounds like a pool day for me & the 3 boys.  I'll go get them tired with swimming in the sun & then take a LONG nap with them after lunch.  

Then I REALLY REALLY REALLY need to work on the wrapping masterpieces of my FGC's gift.  I'm having WAY too much fun with her theme.

My fat cat (16 pounds of chubs) (I do have him on a weight loss regiment but it is slow going) thinks he can sleep ON my head.  He tries this at least twice a week.  Sometimes he covers my mouth and nose.  Really it's possible he's trying to kill me.  Then he starts to purr in the loudest manner possible, making sure that, just in case his weight did not alert me, I am full aware that he is on my head.

It's cute but doesn't make it easy to sleep on the nights when he does it.

You and every other mother are Wonder Woman! I can barely take care of myself and 50% of a dog who is very independent. Glad you can take advantage of a pool day!  I would join you in a second if I could /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />!  My zombie self could not think of any excuse to get out of going to work where at least 2 people will tell me I look tired (gee, thanks!).

Oh my gosh, sorry but I did lol when I read that!  :lol:   Pets are so funny.  I wonder if they think we are funny? Sometimes Bam Bam will lay on my hair but lately she likes to lay her head on the pillow and have her body under the blankets like a little person.  I guess it's easy to forgive them when they are so dang cute /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes, I totally also think mom's are wonder woman! 

I don't know what people hope to accomplish by telling someone they look tired? This has always been a great mystery to me.  It's not helpful and whether or not it's true, it is not like there is anything to be done about it. 

And yes, pets are the easiest to forgive!

You're definitely Supermom!  So impressed.  Enjoy the pool and naptime!

Ok I'm going to send my FGC's gift on to her this weekend.  I'm finding it hard to focus on my new giftee in the Summerswap with this one outstanding, and in all reality I should stop buying stuff either way.

I hope she will like it!

Oh and I AM sending my craft on to her, so sorry in  advance FGC. I showed some people at work and they said it's not so bad and showed me how to tighten something, so it's better now.

Same here, I just need to start/finish my crafty project this weekend but it's a pretty easy one.  So another package will be en route Monday /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm glad you decided to send your craft!  I'm sure your FGC will love it and appreciate the thoughtfulness :wub:

I'm feeling better now! Went to the library, kids' school (my youngest was sick the last 2 days so he still had his naptime blanket and a few other things there), out to lunch w a friend, them we took the kids to a local park to play. Lasted a few hours before the 90+ heat wiped us out. Stopped for some gas station slushies on the way home and now it's chill in the AC time! So glad my headache went away they are the WORST.

Sounds like a bunch of us didn't have a good night last night! Lets hope for some good sleep tonight!

Glad you're feeling better!  Slushies sound so good.  They always make me think of summer.

Off to NM tomorrow. I'd have settled on Mon but I'm not sure what it would do for my mom's case. Hubby is going to be pissed I have to drive without him. I'll probably be more scarce for the next week.

Oh darn, sucks that you still have to go down there.  Is your lawyer coordinating with your mom's lawyer to make sure everything works out?  Drive safe, we're all hoping things go your way!  Big hugs!  :hugs3:

 

[puppymomofthree]

Sorry you have to go! At least you can eat lots of yummy green chili--the best thing to me about being in NM.

Just thought of a question we need to ask for SS--gold or silver jewelry? I collect modern and vintage pieces, so it would have been nice to know preferences--if any. I go both ways (insert fourteen year-old boy laugh here). No more typing on MUT while on pain meds!

 

[utgal2004]

Mine's going out either Saturday or Monday. I'm waiting for part of the handmade gift to dry. I spent wayyyyy too much time packaging last night. If I don't send it, I know I'll keep shopping and there's no more space in the box. All that's left is writing a note to include.

Love that more and more boxes will be going out! A few weeks of reveals will be so fun!

 

[Sheeeeeelby]

I started wrapping! YAY!! I found some super cute tissue, string & wrapping paper at Target. You could pick like 4 items for $5 or something like that.
 

I still need to get my handmade item, something local & some goodies!
