Dear God I'm without adult supervision for the next two weeks!!!

[denbot]

Alley and Mini-Alley are on their way an animal rescue ranch near Kanab Ut. They will be there for a week, and then they will move on to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for a week. I could not get the time off work so here I sit with a perilously thin supply of clean socks, and no vices to speak of..

Years ago I used to run around doing stuff with fellow bachelor buddies but now I'm married and housebroken.. Now what? :scared:

[seabeyond]

1. i use to take off for three, four days with kids, thinking hubby would enjoy the down time

handful of years ago, i learned, he doesnt enjoy so much. he doesnt feel right. so now, it isnt fun for me to take kids off on mini vacations. we wait for him to take a monday or friday off and take off, all four of us.

Now what?....... enjoy the peace and quiet? get a book, lol lol?

[denbot]

3. I think this is going to be hard on the cats too.

They are staring at the can opener and I'm staring at the fridge, it's good to have opposable thumbs.

I think Man Cub is going to do well, when I got home for work there were two empty frozen dinner boxes left on the island.

He ain't getting any cash until the dishes are done and his mess cleaned up.:evilgrin:

[Roon]

21. Us kids used to spend our summers in florida with our father..

when we left to head back to school, he would have a hard time sleeping for a few weeks because it was too quiet.

[seabeyond]

23. it is the energies of the people

same happens to me. when kids little here 24/7 so when they werent in house, felt the energy but body not here.

same happens when they start school again. or they are going to their grandparents for a couple weeks and feel it then. takes a couple days for all that left behind energy to go away so you arent feeling a void

i am a woo woo gal.

[Haole Girl]

2. Whatever you do, please don't go eating 12 big macs!

Remember that DUer that did that when their wife was away?

:rofl:

[denbot]

5. The foolish woman left several pints of Hagen Daz in the freezer..

Then again this maybe an assassination attempt..

[WillParkinson]

4. Think of it this way...

Now you don't have to flush AND you can leave the seat up. :-)

[denbot]

6. If it's yellow, let it mellow..

Ah yes, it's all coming back to me.

19. Gaah!

Flashbacks!!!

[bluesbassman]

8. Well, whatever you do don't start watching TV.

My tribe went away for a couple of weeks once and I started watching the tube. Took me months to break the habit. :scared:

[denbot]

20. Too late..

I have renewed our Fios Cable TV, rented Zombie Land, Legion, and dug out a pint of Chocolate Ice Cream. In short I'm doomed..

[Flaxbee]

9. don't you have a sailboat?

first, do the laundry

second, go sailing :D

[denbot]

14. I do, but I'm waiting on delivery on a climbing harness.

I have to re-rig a staysail halyard (rope that lifts the second forward sail), which means I have to go up my mast. Not possible with out a bosun's chair or a climbing harness. I am going down there tomorrow afternoon to do a bit of maintenance, and hang out near the water.

As for the laundry I may just buy more socks..

[Gormy Cuss]

10. Pee in the litterbox and don't lie on the couch.

The adults will appreciate it.

:P

[denbot]

15. Aaah..

No one is going near the catbox for a while..

[Lucky Luciano]

11. RoadTrip!

My girlfriend has to go to Japan for three weeks. She does not enjoy the open road like I do, so I am taking the dog to Quebec! I will check out the Gaspe Peninsula. I have never been there and thought it would be really cool to check out for the July 4th weekend plus an extra day....az lot of driving, but I am too curious to pass on the opportunity!

[denbot]

16. Man Cub is 16 and there is no way I'm straying to far from basecamp.

I know what I did when my parents foolishly left me "home-alone".

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear denbot!

You will be fine, if a bit lonely...

I'm sure you remember how to do laundry, no?

:hug:

[denbot]

17. I remember how...

With no woman folk around, it's hard to remember why..

[texanwitch]

13. Just remember to clean up the house before they get back.

Have fun being on your own.

[denbot]

18. I have already offerred a bribe to Man Cub

Hopefully I won't run low on cash..

[femmocrat]

22. Great time to tackle that Honey-Do list!

Think how surprised Alley will be! :hi:

[seabeyond]

25. that is what hubby would do. and not "honey do", i refuse to do that. but the stuff HE

wanted to get done. re do hardwood floors and other stuff.

all our marriage i have refused to give honey do's to the point of hubby begging me for them and i tell him.... no.

guys joke and bitch and moan and complain about women and their honey do's, i wont do it. please, please, tell me what to do. no.

[femmocrat]

30. My dad used to surprise my mom by completing big projects too.

When we were on vacation one year, he remodeled the bathroom. He was such a wonderful man. He built our house and the addition when we got older!

[seabeyond]

31. my fathers only tool was a hammer and duct tape. my husband is totally different

he can do stuff, lol. it is so much fun. i love it. and tool belts. geeez, i have really learned to appreciate the man in a toolbelt

[denbot]

27. The shock would be to great..

Can't take that big of a risk. :dilemma:

[Bertha Venation]

24. Are they going to Best Friends?

I am a proud supporter.

[denbot]

28. Yes, they are scheduled to check in on Monday.

They have not check in with me and it's been over 24 hours since they left.. They are camping in Kanab and I wish Alley would check in with me.

[BarbaRosa]

26. It's detox day here.

MamaRosa has been back in Ill. for the past week and half, due to be home tomorrow, so I have to de-bachelorize the house today. :scared:

[denbot]

29. I recommend fire, and lots of it..

:rofl:

My Maternal Grand Father is from Pinos Altos, and my Great Grand Parents are from Morenci Az (Chiricahua Apache). My paternal Great Great Grandparents came to L.A. from the Silver City area (Yaqui).

[Callalily]

32. Ummmm . . . go sailing?

Just a suggestion. :evilgrin:

[denbot]

33. I got to go up the mast to replace some halyards..

I promised Alley I would not sail our "new-to-us" baby without her..
