I think I'd rip out my hair.

For Rhianna's first (and only, so far) sleep over, she was allowed to invite seven friends to spend the night. Her mother decided that since most the invitees had siblings the siblings could come over for dinner and a couple of movies. :facepalm:

Naturally everyone misunderstood and we had 13 girls (ages 4-8) and 2 boys (6 & 7) spending the night...

:facepalm::facepalm::shock:

pwyll - lol - my sister and I would have sleep over that ended up being 6-8 girls deep because we never wanted to exclude anyone. My dad finally made a rule that we weren't allowed to tell ghost stores because he couldn't handle the sound of 8 sets of feet pounding down the hardwood floor over head and down the steps to the first floor when we scared the poop out of ourselves!

Then again this is the same awesome man who chaperoned our youth group over night canoe trips (co-ed) in high school. He'd been an only child of an only child. He spent a lot of time shaking his head.

They all slept on the first floor, so it was merely a constant stream of feet on the stairs (the sole bathroom is on the second floor). The biggest problem I had was the arguing over what to watch on TV. We don't have cable, so it would go like this:

Random child: Disney!
Rhianna: We don't have cable.
Random child: Cartoon Network!
Rhianna: We don't have cable.
Random child: Nickelodeon!
Rhianna: Daddy can we watch Nickelodeon?
Me: Nickelodeon is on cable.
Rhianna: We don't have cable.
Random child: Wizards show!
Rhianna: We don't have cable.
Random child: Disney!
Rhianna: We don't have cable.
Random child: Nickelodeon!
Rhianna: Daddy, is Nickelodeon on cable?
Me: Yes.
Rhianna: We don't have cable.

Between Netflix, VHS, DVDs and two harddrives we had half the shows and all the movies they wanted to watch--but it didn't count if it wasn't on cable...

:facepalm:

Heres something,The coffee shop I worked at for 5yrs before Hubs and I started having health issues is being sold.The mean old B manager who lied and replaced me while I was with Hubs at the hospital having heart surgery has been fired.She was told they have their own management team.Then I got a call from them saying that when Im doing better would I come by and talk to them.They want team players and people they can trust.THEN!I got a call from the owner saying that I had a small bonus check coming to me because he was selling and wanted to give us a little something.Im sure its not much but its just nice to be included and thought of.Funny how I didnt do anything mean to that horrible woman and things just kinda worked out for me and not so much for her.I probably wont go back to work there but I feel good about the offer.KARMA BABY!!

Here's my best karma story.
My ex-boyfriend's great uncle started a restaurant in 1946. In the 90's, the uncle was feeling his age and left the 2 restaurants to his 3 kids. The old man's son-in-law, Wayne, wanted to quit his job and work for the family business, so he took his wife's place.

Fast forward about 6 years, the old man, who started the business and left it to them, making them well off, couldn't get up the front steps to get in the restaurant. He needed a walker and he couldn't use the bathroom there because it wasn't handicap accessible. The whole extended family pushed for the kids and brother-in-law to spend the cash and make it where the old man could still come in and hang out in his restaurant. The customers loved it and the old man had spent 40+ years running it, so it was his pride and joy. Depriving him of that, over the cost of a remodel, when he gave them a thriving business was just cheap.

At a family get-together, I asked Wayne if he felt okay with his decision, since he was the one blocking the others from doing the remodel. In a long conversation, he said that "if you couldn't make it up the steps or use a normal bathroom, then you should just stay at home". I instantly told him that he should re-think that stance, that it was just like asking for trouble, karma wise. He shrugged me off as an idealistic 20 something and ignored me.

A few years later, I went to funeral that Wayne attended, in his new wheelchair. He has MS. My ex-boyfriend, in all his wisdom, reminded me to be the better person and not mention what he'd said.

Now there are 11 restaurants and they make sure when buying a new location that it's wheelchair accessible.

Morning chatters. I posted this at the kiddie table, but I know some of y'all don't play over there. I won some Vermilion River juice in a contest, and I'm very unfamiliar with their flavors. Morgan has a sample of Caramelized Cappuccino on the way (she was a random winner), and I have a sample of Kentucky Maplewood Blend on the way (also random winner). We've tried their Malibu Pineapple too, and its yummy (crankyfuzz sent us a sample).

So any recommendations? Thanks y'all!
