What Part of "I'm Off Duty" is not clear?
I'm so aggravated right now! I have warned and warned and warned every other person living in this house that this is CROP WEEKEND! I stocked up on all their favorite snacks, drinks, etc.

1. Boyfriend called to say he was working late...that part is ok. BUT he just called to ask if I could bring him McDonalds because he is STARVING! He works 15 minutes away.

2. Daughter just made plans with her friends to go to the movies. No big deal EXCEPT that she has a broken leg and I would not want another parent to have to worry about her getting in and out of their car so I HAVE TO DRIVE HER! Since I am driving HER, can I pick the other girls up too. AND pick them up when its done. The movie theater is 15 minutes away in the opposite direction of where I have to bring john dinner.

3. Son hasn't aggravated me yet but its still early and he's moping that he's bored!

They BETTER not bug me the rest of the weekend or this volcano's gonna blow!

Bummer!


I'm hoping that nothing gets in my way of scrapping this weekend. So far so good. It's great that my daughter can drive so anything she needs to do she can get herself to.

Tell them that they've each used their one freebie for the weekend, and that anything else they need from you, they'll have to "pay".... And you can make that payment in whatever form you'd prefer (money, chores, get creative and make it painful!) They'll think twice about bugging you! :) Good luck!

You poor girl.. I feel for you. I'd tape reminders to the fridge and on the bathroom mirrors... "Ahem, in case anyone has forgotten: It's SCRAP CROP WEEKEND. Mom is not to be bothered. Thank You - Management"

That really is too bad, since they ALL knew in advance! After tonight, they would all be warned about the remainder of the crop, and better heed the warning!!!! Good luck!

Better hook that boy up with several new movies. :) I take full advantage as the TV as babysitter/entertainer when I want to scrap! ;)

Re: What Part of "I'm Off Duty" is not clear?
so wrong!!! my ds has to work every other Sat. and I warned him as soon as I knew that he was working this Sat that I could not babysit as I do every other weekend. AND I told him that my mother was not avbailable either, it was her w/end to work (we split the babysitting when we can). Guess who forgot. AND he forgot to tell baby mama!!! She called me as crop was starting asking if I was sure I couldn't babysit and I said "I'm sure" as I stared at the ACOt MB :-D this is the first time I held my ground with them and told them no! I have caved and babysat durin g other crops, but no more!
