Weekend arguements are starting to become a Tradition.

I am honestly getting just a bit tired of the constant stupid arguments on the Weekend. Alright, let me start at the beginning I guess. My daughter is no longer working and since she is starting her Basic Training in January, she has decided not even to bother getting a new Job. Agree or not disagree, you can only do so much talking until you get tired of it all. Now she is at home every day and mainly just sitting around doing nothing else but reading or watching TV while I am trying to work on my computer.

Now it really doesn’t bother me most of the days, but ever so often I simply get tired of watching her sitting around being lazy. Well that is nothing new either. Most of us Parents get that way from time to time with out teens.

On Thursday to Saturday my husband is at home as well and he spends his time either downloading adult images on his PC or playing one of his hundreds of PC Games. Now he works 4 days out of the Week and so he figures that he is entitled to just sit around doing nothing. I guess I can’t argue that one, but what gets really old is that no matter what each weekend my husband and my daughter both just have an attitude of entitlement that drives me insane.

Weekends never once go by without at least 2 of us are getting into an argument with each other. Today is one of those days where both of those two are walking around as if their Dog has died. (we don’t have a dog).

I am working and can’t make a Sale to safe my life and am wondering why I am not just sitting around being a lazy f**k like the rest of them.

Do any of you have the same experiences or am I just getting old?

Sales, Sales and more Sales

We have started the Yard & Arts/Crafts Sale at our house yesterday and did ok. We noticed that most people seem to be perfectly willing to pay $1.00 to $2.00 for an Item, but after that they simply lose interest.
What was the biggest challenge is to get people to understand that evenso I am more then happy to sell most of my used bought Items for a paltry sum to get it out of my house, I will not and can not sell brand new hand crafted Items for that cheap.

I was trying to sell handsewn Pillows for $5.00 a piece (my Material cost alone is almost $2.00 and I have worked on those Pillow often for about 2 hours a piece) which makes the cost almost laughable. Yet Customers seemed to turn up their noses. I wonder have we really lost our appreciation for handy crafts as a People in general?

Holding your breath or accepting realities!

I am sitting in my favorite chair and I am taking a deep breath. I am ok with this, really I am ok, I reassure my last fledgeling for the ombteens time in less then 1 hour, but she doesn't believe me any more then she did 1 hour ago.
My Daughter joined the Airforce and today it all become completely official. I know this is for her future and with today's economy it probably is one of the few secure incomes she will have, plus her college will be covered something sadly I can not do for her, but I am still having a hard time breathing.

I know that no matter what she will do in life there is still a chance she can get hurt, but this is the last one out of the nest. My last Baby to let go. Soon I will have nobody left to fuss over, my husband is way to self sufficent to let me baby him. She is leaving on January 3rd for Basic Training and now the count down begins. I have known it for the last month, but for some reason today it became reality.

So I am trying to be happy for her. This will be a big adventure in her life and I have to grow up too and move on. WAAAAAAHHHHHH!
