Hi everyone.
I am feeling better today.
Just a tired old grandma ranting and raving earlier. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I must correct some misconceptions though.
My son and dil are both GREAT parents. My son has a workshop he must attend every other month for his job. It is Fri-Sun.
Since he has to pay for a hotel if he goes by himself... they thought it would be good to use this opportunity as a little getaway for the two of them. With three kids you don't get much "alone" time. They have told me it is not a necessaity and she will stay home if it is too much on me.
They know their children need their parents and they are always there for them. They are living on one paycheck so mommy can be there for them.
My problem this weekend is... the workshop got cancelled and my husband and son decided to use me to take advantage of fishing and golf. I was angry with my husband as much as anyone.... except myself. They did end up getting the kids early. Like I said... I was just an old, tired, ranting grandma.
I don't mind what people think of me... but I do mind that anyone thinks my son and dil are not good parents... they are great parents.
Enough on that subject.
Michelle... nice to see you again.
I would LOVE to go to Rhode Island and West Virginia. The farthest east I have been is Chattanoga , Tenn.
I have been to Chicago a few times. I hated to traffic in Chicago.
Another place I have always wanted to visit is Maine.
Okay Lucky..... here is my cheer for you.
"We...

Yes we are proud of you. Hey hey hey
We ...

Yes we are proud of you!!!!

SaraJoy... congratulations. 20lbs is a remarkable accomplishment!
It sounds like it is a sensable plan and should last a lifetime.
Keep up the good work.
Mary... I hope you have a wonderful mini vacation. I am looking forward to mine during the 4th of July weekend.
Baylee... let me know how that beer tastes.
Years ago.... my kids were little... I drank a single beer and the girls started crying. They knew something was seriously wrong because mommy NEVER drinks a beer. LOL
I felt so sorry for them. It was just a really hot day... and for some reason it just sounded good. I never drank a beer again. LOL
Yoyo mom... I hope you stop in again and share a little about you. We would love to have you join our group. Tell us all about you.
Malia... give your little baby hugs from me. Poor thing getting neutered... ouch !! I bet he will be happier.. and hopefully no more biting. My baby hasn't bitten anyone... but I do fear it sometimes. He is soooooo possessive. They say you should expose your pets to lots of human contact at an early age so they are more receptive to people.
Kat... it is always good to hear from you.
I think your foreign language skills need a little help though.
If you are talking to a guy.. asking him if he wants to "go out" is a lot different than "do you need to relieve yourself"
Okay my friends... I am out of here.
I hope we "hear" from more of you soon.
