forgetting about work! Unless you really need the money, how about just taking time to enjoy life? You will not remember the shoes you bought or the big screen TV, but you will remember the beautiful day surrounded by nature!

Something relaxing for them..
Maybe a gift of a hand massage for both of them. :-)
Relaxing
Just taking it easy with the family, maybe a cookout if the weather is halfway decent.
Yoga would be helpful. Very relaxing. SM
Jane Fonda has a DVD with light aerobics and stress reduction. Skip the aerobics and go directly to the stress reduction. Really excellent.
Relaxing..my regular days off are Wed, Thu, and Fri...
so luck out this year!
Mario Trococi relaxing hair?
Hi! I have curly hair and really tired of it looking like a mess, so dh encouraged me to make an appointment with Mario Tricoci to have it relaxed and then cut. I'm going to be 39 this year and just tired of looking the same, ya know? I stick it up with a hair band or barrette and hate looking in the mirror. Our families love my hair and wished they had it, but I'm sick of it. I want to look normal. My daughter has my hair but it's nicer because it's straight from her scalp and then gets curly. Mine is that puffy kind that doesn't hang nicely. It costs $90 to get it done and then another $35 to get a cut. I've never spent that much at one time on my hair! My dh loves my hair but wants me to be happy with it. Does anyone have experience or know of someone who has done this? I don't want to regret it on Easter when we go to his family's for dinner. I have an appointment for tomorrow.
Thanks!
Either vacations in Vermont when I was
very little, either at the cottages on the beach or picking raspberries at the top of my grandmother's hill, or else at a friend's house, riding tobaggans down her long hill in WI, each person with their own sled, lying down, going feet first, looking up at the stars. After the hill there was a long flat field you'd keep sliding on for a long, long time.
School-Vacations
We took our vacation during April break. My daughters go back to school two days after Labor Day. We did take a few short trips this summer, though.
Let me guess -- one of the vacations is to
Vegas?
Vacations in California
Hi everyone,
The post below got me thinking...I live in WA, and I just wondered - from what I know, the nice beaches I know about in CA are private ones in Malibu. Are there any beautiful, clean beaches in CA that you can take your family to when on vacation? I love the beaches in Mexico, but would like to stay in the US. What do you recommend, if you live there?
After school starts usually vacations end. nm

Why would you take vacations when you're in such debt?
The money for those planned vacations could be paid towards your credit card. If you're income in increasing soon, why not apply the increase to the bills until the debt is gone and then reward yourself with a nice vacation that you save up for?
I am planning several long weekends this summer for mini-vacations.
We are going to drive up to the Omaha Zoo for a weekend. We live in rural Missouri north of Kansas City, so it's about a three or four hour drive.
Then, we have a family reunion in southern Missouri and I'm planning a 4-day weekend for that so we can spend some time in the Ozarks.
Then, we will go into Kansas City to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun.
Then, I'm planning a four-day weekend in Branson.
So I guess we are going to explore our state too!
Plus we have a public pool in our town that the kids spend a lot of time at. Then there is girl scout camp for my daughter. My son will be getting a job this summer as he's 16 now and mom can't afford gas for my car and his car and to pay for his dates all of the time.
As you can see I try to keep my kids as busy as possible! There is nothing worse than bored children when you're trying to work!
For those people with school aged children when do vacations start to dwindle and you start getting
ready for school. I usually take a vacation when things slow down at the end of Summer and I am just wondering when in August most people start getting into school things and less vacations are taken.

I made my little cousin take back some stuff from the grocery store when he went with me. His mother was a bit upset with me for doing it, but to my knowledge, he never stole again. Sometimes, the immorality of it doesn't sink in, but getting caught and confronted by a non-family member can scare them enough to stop it. Also, you could tell her you simply cannot trust that she won't do it again, so she is no longer allowed to go shopping until she can convince you that she will behave appropriately. It may take a while, but she'll see the consequences and miss the outings with you.
I'd definitely bring it up to a counselor if none of the above worked. They may be able to bring up the behavior of her birthmom being wrong, so you won't have to seem like you're downgrading her to the child. I'm sure it's got to be confusing if she saw this behavior much.
Good luck!

Ditto for me
 I am no good on the keyboard before 9:00 a.m. lol

Put it down and leave it. It could take a couple of days but hang in there. Forget the baby food, etc, as that does not have the vitamins that a cat needs. I have always fed my cats on the dryer away from the distractions of the house and family....might try something like that too. Good luck!

Now, Antonella could probably model, but she can barely sing compared to Lakisha. Hope she wins it all!!

Woo-wee..He made night manager at the Pizzaria in 3 months...or was that weeks. Guess she could not see her self the wife of the new owner of the Pizzaria chain! How many mink coats and cars will that buy!

I had one of those husbands as well. He actually called my job a "hobby" I know exactly what your going through. I agree with the other poster, have him sit down and do just one report, he won't. Like mine said, I don't know how to type, I asked him to at least listen and he still refused. Lots of luck to you.
Ditto!
Me too!
ditto that one!!

I wish someone would put her under house arrest! Actually, I just wish she would take herself and her wonky fake British accent and LEAVE. I can't even go to the yahoo homepage without having to see something about her. It isn't that she doesn't understand her actions, it is that she doesn't care. There is a big difference there. She is putting other people's lives in danger and possibly their kids lives while she is out driving around aimlessly having 30 cars of paparazzi following her driving in the wrong lane. Any other celebrity in Hollywood doesn't seem to have the same problem Britney does, and its because they know she is a walking trainwreck and they get a good paycheck out of her. But she is SO attention-hungry it is ridiculous. Luckily I live VERY far away from her and hopefully it will always stay that way :)
And on that note, I have come to the conclusion that either her doctor is ignorant for letting her go this early because obviously she is still not right, OR she is simply doing all of this for attention. Could go either way.
Ditto. Like it here better now, better than ever!
Boring over there at that other place.

Gimme a break, imagine a queue of mothers waiting for their turn to get milked.
PETA shouldn't go this far in their love for animals to make humans act like animals.
There are lot of risk factors involved as well.

Fabulous advice. At this point, also, I'm not sure I would worry so much about Mom's sensibilities. It sounds like she already knows something wacky is going on with the husband. Strongly recommend/encourage her to get a power of attorney that is not family and have the executor of her will be someone who is not family.
Good luck. That's a horrible position your sister is putting you in, and it sounds like she is not being a good daughter.
Add me too to that ditto...nm

Ditto on above.
I went quite a while ago. Stayed on resort (The Oasis) most of time. We did go downtown once, rode the bus down and back one night, and also did a tour to one of the Inca(?) temples on a bus. But played it safe and stayed at the hotel the rest of the time (4 women). Watch out for the bees though. I am not allergic to bees but stepped on one on the beach (ocean side) and got really nauseous and dizzy from it, spent most of that afternoon in bed feeling sick from the sting, was a huge bee too. The Oasis had it all there though, 1-mile long pool, pretty cool place. Hot and breezy, ocean was too rough the whole time we were there to go in though, red flagged the entire stay. Have a good time, beautiful place.

I'm a big fan of living up to commitments and making marriages work, but this one doesn't sound like it has a chance. He's going to destroy you if you let him. Momma has already done a number on him. He's never learned to pick himself up and do for himself and at 30 he sees no reason to change.
Let him move. Can you handle the rent by yourself? Whose name is the lease in?
One important thing, though: If you do let him go, file the paperwork for a legal separation. That way any debt that he incurs after that point is his and his alone. Close any credit cards that you have that might be in both your names. Change your bank account/s to ones that only you have access to. Make sure your direct deposit for work is going into one of those accounts.
Don't let this guy ruin the rest of your life by his complete selfishness. Good luck.
Ditto on that!

I agree! Having to address your own thank-you note is tacky. They might as well hand you the thank you card too and just have you take it home with you since they obviously can't be bothered to take the time to write it out themselves.

Mac got married at around 17 and he would've had to be around 16-17 at time of his *donation,* but MJ could get anything he wanted. The resemblance is absolutely striking!
