She arranged for a burial plot at the church.

She has successfully guilt tripped him into doing what she wants for the last time. I am taking some small and very petty satisfaction in the knowledge that she would hate the fact it is me that has chosen her clothes...

Well see that she uses it. Then be done with her, bag and baggage. Do the best you can to leave her behind.

Not petty at all, in fact I'd enjoy doing that with delight. Had it been me, I'd have chosen something...appropriate

All kidding aside Trudi, I send you both my sympathy. It is never easy, but sometimes it can be a relief.

YesMIL passed away this morning, she has managed to manipulate redneck and his siblings into a burial when they wanted  cremation.

Redneck is not dealing with this well at all

 

 

I'm so sorry.

 

Now her ashes will not be something you have to have in your house. You can leave her behind.

First day as store manager to be went well I think.  It's slightly annoying that I don't have access to everything I need to do the job though.

My kids have been brats today. Had to take them to get their eyes checked. Waiting was killing them, but the exam wasn't too bad. 

 

I tried to wait as long as I could. I should have just did it back in September.

 

Anyways, after they had to touch everything and had to be picky as all heck, they found what they liked. Only to find out after we get the sizing and pricing done to find out they are not in network. I didn't think to ask since the eye doctor was in Network.

 

Go home and the Hillbilly looks up who is now in network.

 

Run to Little Rock, I hate that place.

 

Get in the mall since that is where they are located. Already dreading the prices because you know it's the mall.

 

Finally get one kid to agree on glasses $107 buck just for the frames. I let the Hillbilly figure out what the insurance covers and what we owe, while the Tornado looks around.

 

She wants to look at the ladies glasses. Tries to pick out ones that are way too big because of the colour only.

 

Drag her butt back to the kids glasses and ask the Hillbilly what the verdict was.

 

Turns out the glasses here are twice the price we would have to pay without insurance at the other place.

 

So we leave.

 

The kids liked the other glasses better.

 

The Tornado said hers looked ladybug spots and the Jedi found glasses that were Star Wars Storm Trouper approved. Those frames are 19.99.

 

So guess what off we go back to the other place and order the ones the kids picked out from the start. 

 

Made a late supper of Nuggets and Pierogi. Sent the monsters to bed.

Just wait for the next riot and loot the glasses. Duh!

I admire your fortitude! I just had new frames, tricky picking them out on my own, I can't see what they look like without them. They are fine.  Pricey aren't they!

I stood 20 minutes in a queue at Walmart today, to uplift my one and only Black Friday order. Only to find out it isn't IN the store. It is in one of the 5 trailers at the far end of the parking lot. Ya think they'd have a sign up or something! Other than the one they do have, which reads Pick Up Here.

Thanks, it would be nice if kids frames where covered yearly but no they can't do that. The way kids grow it's nut to expect them to fit the same pair for 2 yrs. Lol yes not seeing what they look like on does create a challenge.

Oh no! Our Walmart has signs to pick up black Friday stuff in a different spot. 

I had my stuff sent straight to the house.

You should admire her fertility,  6 kids in 5 years!

You look at her dirty and she got pregnant...

[Ontarkie 14,379]

Ugh, now I need to figure out what their shoe size is and order them shoes. We haven't bought shoes this year because they only needed sandals and now it's cold and they need shoes. Even if they only get their butts kicked out in the yard.

This was the first pair I've had in four years. Boy things look different I thought I had ticked the darn box to have it sent here, must have had a dim moment!

But they don't wear shoes in Arkansas...
