Welcome to PIR 01/20/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 4, 2011 at 11:09am: Thanks LaLa...I missed yourm earlier post...you have less space than I do! I hear you!

I know...I tell myself that and most of the time I am okay with it and then somedays...! I can remember when it was just the two of us in this house...you could clean the whole thing in a few hours! Seemed so big then! I really don't want more house...but I do want a better kitchen and a man cave for hubby! Not to tuck him away in but some place for all his "atta-boys" ...oh and a train set-up!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 4, 2011 at 10:59am: Good Morning!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 4, 2011 at 9:55am: lol, you sound like my husband. He is a very neat person and I have to keep everything tidy and put away or he will start cleaning lol and he loves to throw stuff out. So if it is important to me I have to keep it put away lol. But I can tell you my ex never lifted a finger to help with any cleaning or the kids so it is nice to have someone who does help :-) Spend the time with the teens while you can, you can clean when they are gone :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 4, 2011 at 9:48am: Get not het!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 4, 2011 at 9:47am: Don't get me wrong I LIKE clean...I actually do better when I am home...but these last few years of teenagers...I seem to be out all the time...so by the time I het home its the last thing I want to do!
Cleaning I like...and it can be done in a snap... its all this "stuff" and it is time for a major clean out again. That's where I drop the ball...letting the things creep in again until suddenly you go...Augh, big hairy monster! Good bye junk!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 4, 2011 at 9:35am: Sweetlove, I think that is a great idea. Get that purple tree and decorate with all the little ornaments you guys made and take a pic and send it to him. Get someone to take the pic for you so you can be in the pic. I know this is hard for you. My daughter got married last year while she was in A-school. 4 days later her husband left for bootcamp. He was in A-school during Christmas and didn't get leave. So they were not together for Christmas. In fact the first 5 months they were married they were only together for about 6 days total. She bought this cute little pink tree and decorated it with homemade ornaments and sent pictures to him. It was hard but they made it through and they will get to spend this Christmas together. You seem like a strong young woman and you can do this :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 4, 2011 at 9:29am: FTLW, I feel you pain lol. We are four in 1100 sq ft and on weekends usually about 7 in 1100 sq ft lol. I do all the PIR ribbons, tote bags, scrapbooking, stained glass too and everything else all from my kitchen table. I am hoping for a room in the near future. One of the perks I am told of being an empty nester. With a room all for myself I could be dangerous lol.

Dianne, I feel for you and your mom. I know what you are going through. My dad is very much like your mom and he does a great job taking care of my mom but it is definitely hard on him. He is diabetic and is in remission from prostrate cancer. I always keep your family in my prayers.

Betsy, your home being always clean is quite a chore. I am impressed. My mom was also a terrible housekeeper and she never through anything away. I swear if it weren't for my Dad cleaning up all the time their house would look like hoarders of just stuff. And I bet your kids will not toss all the treasures you kept from their childhood. Hopefully they will treasure them as much as you have :-)

Comment by diannep on December 4, 2011 at 9:06am: Betsy, my mom also was not a good housekeeper, but thankfully we had a maid. Since the maid died in 94, she has had no one. The house is a sty....my house is immaculate I'm sure because of what I see over there...just like your situation! I also like to take care of my things....makes them seem new longer and I am satisfied longer and save $$$! :-) And CLEAN makes me HAPPY too! It actually gives me lots of peace...I can't go to bed if my house is not in order...ok, kinda an OCD thing, but not to excess! HA!

Good morning, all!

Comment by mome2jord on December 4, 2011 at 1:07am: Yay.....sweetlove is gonna have a tree!!! Merry Christmas!!:)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 3, 2011 at 11:06pm: Haha!, Thanks FTLW, that makes me feel better. My mother was a horrible housekeeper, but I swore that I never would be like her, so my house (or apt, right now) is always very clean and organized. Woohoo, I feel so much better now! Isn't that sad that I'm happy about being clean? lol

My mother tossed everything when I was younger (I was one of 7 kids) so I have no childhood treasures left. I did keep a lot of my kids things, for that reason. So, they can toss them all when I'm gone, lol
