Yes, Start, got to stay with Mom a few extra days. It just seems that she has a hard time right before I go.

This is the hardest part for me.

Yes, I cried my husband to sleep last night because I was going through a great greandma goona pass soon thing?? Poor guy and it is HIS grandma, but I love her sooo I am wondering about grandpa when she passes how will he cope after 69 years of marriage, they just celebrated their anniversary last week.

J I absolutely love the slapping you got going on there.

Thanks Myth, it is CurlyBen slapping me through the computer cause I can't get anything geeky right. LOL

Start, I am so sorry you will have to be going through something similar soon. It really isn't easy. I guess because I was so far away (distance) and that Dad was in the hospital for so long that it was a little easier for me. I spent many a night crying to my husband before the fact.

My folks would have been married 50 years this October.

Oh J, I can't imagine what you are going trough or what is to come. I will be right here when it does though. I like the smacking too...

Wish I could do that to a couple of people on here... lol

I am quite sure Ben is doing that to me right now. LOL

I still don't quite know how to do some moderator stuff and he is trying as hard as he can to explain them to me, but doh, I just don't get it. Poor guy having to deal with my non-technical brain!!

Lol... tell him to put it in nursing terms...

He understands nursing terms as much as I understand techy terms, so that won't quite work LOL

Lol... you need someone to bridge the communication gap... lol

I love what you are doing, I can't tell if you are making a mistake or not, so your fine on my end! LOL

OK this might sound weird but you know what show I miss... the smurfs... I used to love that show

Papa Smurf was the best, just like my Grandpa! So cool and smart and even if the other smurfs were wrong, he would always teach them right!

God how I absolutely hate brainy... He reminded me of my sister... lol.

Woooo Hoooo!! Looks like I'm finally getting out tonight!! I can't wait!!

Not that I want to leave Mom, I don't. But I have never seen NYC and I have never seen my sister's new house with her new hubby. Well, I have known her hubby for a while now, he is the best man for her I have ever seen. But I have never seen their home that was a wedding present to them.

Oh, I am going to have so much fun tonight, then I will be home by tomorrow at this time!!

Yay, it's finally working out!!

Wish someone would give me a house for my wedding present!! Good girl you finally get to get out and home with your family... They probably miss you MORE than you will ever know!

My poor daughter! Yesterday I was talking to her on the phone and she was disappointed that she could not pick me up at the airport (major cheerleading camp with the USA team), I said, "hun it's only been two weeks, not a lifetime...We will have a lifetime together."

She broke my heart and said

"Well, Mom, 2 weeks feels like a lifetime to me." Awwwwww, my precious little flower!!

See how much you are loved. Nice to hear that. Last night for some reason my daughter was standing right next to me and asked the same question 3 times and I still never answered her. I do not know where my mind was I swear I was spacing out and she broke down in tears and told me I have done that to her more than once this week. I felt so bad I was probably holding and huging her for ten minutes straight. Poor girl needs her mamas attention and I failed. I truly did and I told her I was sorry that it wasn't her, it was me and everything going on lately! Sheesh I felt so bad but we are OK now that we had our promise of love and the ten minute squeeze!

Sometimes it is life's little lessons like that that make us stand up and pay attention.

I am so glad to hear that everything is okay now.

I hope she does well at the cheer thing, that can get quit spendy huh? My cousin does it in California and wins all sorts of tourny"s
