For those who wanted to know what a UPP is and how it came about. check out the reply to lbrow.
Leah, I just know where this one is going - you two are really going to have a fun UPP! I wished you would have invited me! *4U
I think if you check you email you will find that I did invite you. I was sorry that you posted you were needing to be home at the time. We missed you though and talked about you too:o) Next time 4sur
Well now tell me what was the UPP? *4U
While Karen and I were home raising kids we commited to getting a group together once a month while the kids were in school. We would work on projects & we always included lunch potluck or takeout. The housework was always done before hand and dinner in the Crockpot so no one in the family would suffer. When the school bell rang we were home for the kids. Her DH said we were having a Pitty Party. He died of cancer last year and my DH is working in Brazil, so now we have the UPP Ultimate Pitty Party that consumes several days at a time and many hours of the night. Two great men allowed us to do that and the tradition continues. * for you too!
Looks like you're making space for lots of productivity. *4U
Actually we are pretty good at finding a lot of space and using it up. It is well worth the time. My daughter didn't mind having mom hang out in her garage either because her housework stayed done while she was at work and lunch and dinner was ready when she got home. It has been 5 years since mom took care of her like that. * for you
