Thank you, and all y’all, for the Birthday greetings. I had a lovely video chat with my brother. Now, just waiting for the Agent to bring the prospective buyer 'round, then it’s nap time. Hmmm. It’s after Noon - Cousin should have called by now. She never forgets. ---

_ **Happy rosie day!!** _ May your agent come thru with a full-price offer for your b-day! 😃 We’re back from all our erranding. Garbage and recycling is gone. Tarp has been returned to Lowe’s since the boats are leaving. Boat parts/accessories have been located and set aside for when Jim gets here. Laundry is started. Cats are fighting on the floor behind me. Another day in FairyChatParadise!! 😃 ---

Good almost AFTERNOON everyone! SO **DHR** (that will be my permanent nickname for him on here), got home at 2:00a last night. After some not so sweet text messages back and froth to each other he came home and we ended up having an argument. I was tired and upset and he was too, and we never ever have a productive or quiet discussion when we are both tried. We wore ourselves out and ended up going to bed at 3a. We decided to not try to wake up 4 hours later to drag ourselves to church and instead let the twins, who woke up about 7:00a, watch cartoons on our ipads until **DHR** woke up at 10:45a and got the twins brekkers. I got up at 11:00 a, and said morning to the twins. I felt like the worst momma in the world when **LL** said she heard us yelling last night and it woke her up for a minute. **DHR** said he had gone into their room after we had stopped arguing and got her back to sleep (I really do love him and hate that we yell a each other sometimes). \*\*LM \*\*said he slept the whole night and didn’t hear a thing. He could sleep through an earthquake! This morning all is back to normal. We got enough sleep, and **DHR** put _Castle in the Sky_ on for us all to watch together. I really need to get on some chill pills or something. I swear sometimes I am like a character from a bad after school special with how dramatic and over-reacty I am…le sigh ☹ I also wanted to say thank you for having these MMP threads. They are awfully therapeutic. I don’t journal or blog or have anyone living near us who I could call and rant to (my BFF lives in Oregon, 2 times zones behind me, so I have to be aware of what time I call so I am not interrupting sleep or meal times)and this thread has been a God send. I just wanted you all to know that. Thanks 🙂 ---

Happy Rosie Day! It’s 7pm, and I’m still in my jammies and dressing gown, do I win anything? 😃 Is there a Lazy Mumper prize? I didn’t get back 'til something like 2am last night, which is my excuse, and I spent a lot of time driving to and from the juggling convention site. I thought one of my old school friends who recently moved nearby might enjoy it, so I was bringing her, her boyfriend and her nearly-4-year old down there for the day. I think my friend was starting to get into it, but kiddo isn’t that great at finding other children to play with- she wanted to play with the big kids, who didn’t want to play with her, so she was wanting a lot of attention- as, unfortunately, was the boyfriend. He’s normally fine, but he was being a bit of a big irritating kid yesterday, and I wound up trying to entertain him, rather than him finding something to do himself (really, there’s so much stuff going on, I can’t figure out how he didn’t find something that interested him- especially as he’s a bit of a gamer, and there was a very friendly games tent), leaving me able to hang round with the other people on site- some of whom I only see once or twice a year. Was my idea though, so can’t really complain. They gave up really early and decided to go home- I’d said I’d give 'em a lift back whenever, as it wasn’t far, so I could always just come back to the site later- but I managed to time it awfully, and got stuck in horrible traffic on the way back, so the trip which should be less than 20 minutes was closer to an hour. Still, had fun- played lots of silly boardgames and bought myself a new lasso, but I think I left it a bit late coming home, any longer and I would have fallen asleep in the driving seat, which is rarely a good plan. ---

> [@Filbert](#): > > Is there a Lazy Mumper prize? I’m not positive, but I think “Lazy Mumper” is redundant… 😛 OK, maybe not - sometimes some of us get all motivated and we accomplish stuff. But I suspect if we were able to overcome the whole “responsible adult” guilt trip, we’d all excel at lazy. 😃 I think I might bake a cake, just because I have mix and I want cake. So off to the kitchen with me. ---

**MOOOOOOM** you can’t have your cake mix and make a cake with it too. Profound ain’t it! 😃 Also since it’s **Rosie’s** bday you can say you’re makin’ a cake in her honor. Nappage has occured and that’s about it. Dreary and rainy out which is ok by me. ---

Actually, **swampy** , I had 3 cake mixes in the pantry, so I now have a cake and 2 mixes, so apparently I can have my cake and mix too! 😛 And sure, why not - it’s a long-distance \*\*rosie \*\*cake! Spice cake with cream cheese frosting, if you’re wondering. The balance of the day will be vegging, with a little cake-eating. Thus endeth my weekend. Who’s gonna start us off tomorrow?? Or late tonight for that matter?? Surely someone has something they want to toss out there! Step right up! ---

Yeah, we need a volunteer for tomorrow. Just toss out a topic and let it go from there. It ain’t like we’ll stay on topic. The whole point of the MMP is to see how off topic we can get from the OP. It’s a challenge! ---

I have an idea to get us started tomorrow. Assuming I remember. 😃 Might get us started late tonight so that I don’tforget. Have done lots of house-painting related stuff. Mostly scraping. Brother finished painting the shingles in front. Still needs to do the soffits and fascia, but that shouldn’t be too bad. Am thinking about what to do tonight. Probably be a slug. And maybe do a bit of laundry as I’m not sure that I have enough clothes to get me through the week. Almost forgot: Happy birthday, **rosie**! Hugs all. GT ---
