I've dropped so many pieces of furniture on Arthur's toes that he refuses to move things with me, which works fine for me.<BR/><BR/>Every time I want to move something, his reply is "For the sake of the marriage, no." He calls over his father to help now.Trillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942625272543394933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1127298432435699332005-09-21T06:27:00.000-04:002005-09-21T06:27:00.000-04:00Plain Jane: I sure do!

I'm blessed that folks I've never even met from all sorts of places would take the time to read my writing.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, everyone, for your kind-hearted sentiment and good wishes. You've once again given me the motivation to write even more.<BR/><BR/>My toe looks icky, and it hurts. But I dropped my bike on my elbow and other foot yesterday. So the pain's been nicely equalized across my other limbs.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1127261923095419312005-09-20T20:18:00.000-04:002005-09-20T20:18:00.000-04:00Excellent post, as always.

Because I was so much younger than my two sisters, I always had my own room, and frankly, I think they had more fun than I did by sharing a room their entire lives. I've always said that when we adopt two kidlets, I'd like them to share a room...at least for awhile. I think it's really, really good for them. And how exciting to transition from sharing to their Very Own Room.

Today it was: "Moved Dahlia's furniture around her room because we didn't want her to feel left out."<BR/>LOL, as a Mom I can very much appreciate that. Glad your moving day was a success in the eyes of the little ones, and I hope you and your wife recover nicely. :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16344164663727384806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1127174813736995172005-09-19T20:06:00.000-04:002005-09-19T20:06:00.000-04:00It almost would have been easier to just buy a new...It almost would have been easier to just buy a new house.

The sharing of a bedroom became, "now each of you have a room to yourself." <BR/><BR/>I think it is a defining moment when each young person begins to chart their lives in their own rooms. They grow up so quickly, so take lots of pictures.<BR/><BR/>jeremyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1127170829248513592005-09-19T19:00:00.000-04:002005-09-19T19:00:00.000-04:00Oh, there was much giggling during this one!

Brings back horrible memories of moving out on my own the first time though and this little person trying to move very large pieces of furniture weighing nearly as much if not more than her.

What a happy day that was. Right up until bedtime. Then it was about the lonliness and hollering to each other. Smart little whips they are though, they came up with the perfect solution: sleep overs in each other's rooms on the weekends. 8 months into it, everyone is happy. <BR/><BR/>PS - thanks for stopping by my site.Your Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15611142829293075043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1127152796561965772005-09-19T13:59:00.000-04:002005-09-19T13:59:00.000-04:00I love hearing about non-handy people trying to ge...I love hearing about non-handy people trying to get things done...
