I know Holiday weekends are supposed to be fun, right???? Well the weather here is chilly, windy and cloudy. Not a pool day. And tomorrow looks like another crappy day!!! :(:(:( It looks and feels like Fall!!!

The boys are tired because we spent a few days at our beach house. They start school on Wednesday so I have a busy week ahead, but I am bored to tears right now!!!!!!!! Kinda have been all day.

The house is clean, w/o is done, DH is hanging on the couch, all school things are ready and I am losing it!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Anybody else????
 
And BTW, we have played Chutes and Ladders, Don't Break the Ice amd multiple other family "fun" games!!!!!!!

I WANT to break the damn ice!!!
 
Hey, Ellie. lol Sorry, I'm taking a minute to laugh at you and your boredom. Don't know how to sit still, do you? Do you even KNOW HOW TO RELAX ANYMORE??? :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

I say, go put on your PJs, grab a good book, cuddle up with DH (tell him I said HI, please), and enjoy the laid back weekend.

If you run out of ideas for things to do with the boys before school starts, let me know. I can give you the recipe for Oobleck (from the Dr Seuss book Bartholomew & the Oobleck), I can tell you how to make sugar cube sculptures, help you make a robot out of boxes, and so on and so on. Yeah, I'm glad school started because my list of creative things came to a crashing halt!

Call me tomorrow if you're still bored!

i'm not having a good weekend either. its been raining here for the past 2 days here in FLA. my husband has been working crazy hours so he has been sleeping during the day. the cleaning is done, laundry done, dog walked, etc. Today was my rest day from working out but i worked out anyway b/c i'm so darn board i'm i'm tired of sitting around.
 
Come on Miss Ellie - train with me! I have 4 weeks till my comp so I'm at 2x day cardios. Need to drop 10 more pounds in that 4 weeks - come on - we won't be bored! (psst - now I know what Gayle was talking about over at FB - seems I never get around here much anymore.)
 
Ellie, you are welcome to come spend the weekend with me. I'm working straight through until Wed. We have been crazy busy and could use another set of hands. How are you with Gram stains and petri dishes?
 
Beavs-I'm ready for the Shiraz, the company and some good laughs!!!!
Come on over and let's have some FUN!!!
NO ICE in my glass please!!!

Robin-And I have worked with gram stain and Starothermophilus. And I must admit it is not fun!!!! My DH does microbiological sterilization and i used to help. I don't envy your work week!!!

Labor Day Party at Ellie's----------I'll provide the comic relief!!!!

Lorrie- I love you honey, but 2 cardio's today might HURT!!!! You go girl

Gayle- My goal for the fall is to learn how to relax (well alittle anyway!!)

Catherine- I'll take ALL the blame!!!!!

What time should i expect you???????/
 
BTW- Petri dishes are fun to see what's really growing on your hands!!!!

no wonder DH fired me!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D
 
Hey, if you are bored, you can share our exitement of the last few days :eek:

Passed a dead guy hanging from a tree on the way to DS soccer practice :mad:

And last night DS (10) cut a piece out of the top of his foot when he ran into a piece of broken glass with blood gushing out of his foot and he needed stitches :eek: and I am scratching my head how to get the blood stains out of the carpet, I probably have to replace the whole darn thing.

And last week the kids and I were complaining that we were bored. Shouldn't have said that so loud :confused::mad:

Your life is such a roller coaster Carola. I hope DS is ok :(

OMG! :( Did you DS see him? I cannot even imagine!

Yeah, he did! I am pretty pissed! The guy hung himself 50 yards away from a busy expressway and right next to an elementary school playground. And the police didn't shut down the expressway or school, instead kept him hanging for 3 hours.

DS seems to be okay,they had counselors at his school and he opted to talk to one. I am the one having a real problem with it. I still can't get the picture out of my head.

I am glad to hear your DS knew he might need to talk about it. I think I would have the same problem as you, just replaying the picture in my head. I cannot imagine leaving a dead body up for 3 hours :mad::mad: That is insane! So sorry for you and DS :(
 
OMG!!! That is awful Carola!!!

I know why they had to leave him there, but they should have either closed the school or blocked the view!!! I am a nurse and am used to dead bodies, my DH and I found our beloved neighbor dead in his car last month and my DH almost passed out!!! And he is a grown man.

I hope your DS is okay??? What an awful sight to see at such a young age.

I will NOT complain that I am bored anymore!!!
 
No, I understand why they had to keep him there, I just think they should have closed the expressway and school or blocked the view. For me it wasn't so much to see someone dead. It's more the how. But I digress!

Didn't mean to hijack your thread, Ellie. I am sorry!

It was just kind of funny that the kids and I were complaining last weekend about boredom :eek: I guess there we got our exitement :rolleyes: Ask and you shall receive, or something like that :D
