Comments on: Have Fun Because…. http://jenniferlabrecque.com/wp/559/have-fun-because/ Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:16:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: Jennifer http://jenniferlabrecque.com/wp/559/have-fun-because/#comment-9492 Jennifer Wed, 22 Aug 2007 19:50:13 +0000 http://jenniferlabrecque.com/wp/559/have-fun-because/#comment-9492 Girl is in a state of servitude for the next four weeks. Seriously. She has to do all the housework and laundry -- sweep, mop, vacuum, scrub bathrooms, dust, and unload dishwasher, and wash, dry, fold, put away laundry. For $75/week I could have someone come in and do it. So, she is a four-week house servant -- and I expect it to be done right. :devil: Girl is in a state of servitude for the next four weeks.

It takes a long time to work off $270 worth of allowance. Lots of lawns to mow, lots of chores to be done for free... I made a similar suggestion over on Rhonda’s blog.

I really wish I could have been scheduled for earlier this morning. I'm hungry and thirsty and not allowed to have anything until after the surgery. Of course, drugs would probably stop the hunger pangs as well. Leaving for surgery soon.

Knee surgery over or have you not gone yet? I was thinking about you this morning. If Girl follows your path, I’m expecting her to reimburse me every stinking dime I paid for those braces. :evil:

Rarely worn. Much to my mother's extreme irritation...) And, yes, my teeth did move... :wallbash: I think I still have my retainers around here somewhere if Girl needs to borrow them.

Luckily, my kids have been good about not losing their retainers. I'm always harping on them to put them in the colored container they get while they eat. It's usually hard to miss as clear retainers are easy to misplace. At least, if they put them in the container and develop that habit, they won't accidently throw the container away. Anyway, that's worked for us. We have had to replace retainers before because they cracked though. Hang in there. Girl's young. She'll get better. At least, she hasn't driven your car through the Elementary School doors yet. :soapbox: :doh: So sorry about that. Luckily, my kids have been good about not losing their retainers.

My boy only has to wear his at night, so he's never lost them. Of course, if he had to take them to school I'm certain the retainers would have gone the way of so many lunch boxes which never seem to return home. Sorry, Jen! :fryingpan: Is she supposed to wear them all day? My boy only has to wear his at night, so he’s never lost them.
