Must stay alert at the homestead.

31. Okay, let me think....
Would you believe that I'm going into the hospital as soon as I get off my computer to get my habarlughioth removed? Will be bedridden until you get your own house cleaned, I'm sure.

9. I had a final this morning
Now I'm going back and forth between mommy duties and this place. Then when hubby gets home from his work meeting, I need to do some more holiday shopping, take my daughter to a party at an ice rink 20 miles away, and study some more. I'm so able to multitask, I tape all my notes and study in the course of all my carpool duties. However, I can't multitask enough to get up to your parts and clean. Sorry, Matt.

17. And I get bored so easily
I've always wondered if I have ADHD or something. I probably do, especially since I don't seem to require as much sleep as I'm supposed to need, but I've managed to channel it and focus it prodctively (most of the time anyway). As a kid, I used to get into trouble easily (way to talkative) and lose focus. My children are kind of the same as me- honor students and very talkative and sociable.
I need to have a busy life to be happy. My brain needs to be active. Not enough and I start to get very gloomy. Everything I do is with energy.

Relaxation! Ha! I don't need no stinking relaxation!!!

:crazy:

20. I have focus issues too, but don't always channel my energy effectively
I was a livewire in school-an honor student who couldn't stay in my seat. This was before ADHD existed. I drove the nuns crazy.

My energy is often scattered-I start things and don't finish them. But I need constant stimulation like you-I just wish I could channel my energy better.

40. All the pressure washers are rented out
And so are the carpet blowers, the carpet steamers, the miniature bulldozer and the Ditch Witch.

General Jackson's is completely out of chemical-warfare suits; he gets the kind that come from England, where they issue ones that work, and the troops scarf 'em up. He had a big pile of Israeli gas masks, and he's out of them too. (This one I can't figure out; the M-40 mask is one of the few things in the US chemical-protective ensemble that works.)

Last time I was at National Welders, they had a flamethrower, but they're closed on Saturday. As is United Rentals, who has forklifts.

So sorry, Matcom, I couldn't make it because I couldn't get the proper equipment and I didn't want to show up unprepared.
