Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Hello everyone. Thank you all so much for the extra hugs & good thoughts. Sometimes it just helps to vent a little bit so thank you.

Hubby's aunt passed away early this morning. Just sad - but she was suffering. I think she was down to 89 pounds.

Bird - how did the dr appt go for your daughter?

Pauly - I have thought of your fortune several times today. Good omen.

Oh - I forgot - here is the blanket in progress

Morning friends,Nora,I love the blanket Bird,sounds like a super fun trip so far! I guess a guy with a mask and shotgun came into the shop yesterday at 2:30 pm,lucky they were able to shoo him off but he ended up at a mall around the corner,police say the gun was fake according to the news so that's good,im tired of all the shooting events going on these days I just don't understand the point at all,sure this guys gun was fake but nodody knew that,what if someone in the mall had a license to carry and started shooting at him and hit someone else on accident? What if the cops had started shooting? Just terrible and I can't believe he made a pit stop at my shop first,anyhoo,waves to Liz and Rusty,hope we all have a wonderful AF Friday!

Bird sounds like you're having a great time. That ranch sounds amazing! Must be nice to be away from everyone and everything, sometimes!
Glad dd1 visit went well.

Pauly, wow that's like seriously scary stuff! Did your shop call the police? How did you shoo him away? Crazy people out there!

Went shopping for pants with Mark last night. I just thoroughly enjoyed the mom shopping experience with him. I can't imagine there will be many more such trips. Kinda bittersweet.

Wishing you all a happy Friday!

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

I wasn't there Liz,probably just some guy high on drugs so my coworker could get him to leave,I haven't talked to her

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

So sad about another shooting. It's just heartbreaking. And yet - nothing will change. So much devastation and destruction in the world. And no sign of a change coming. :sad: :sad:

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

I realize the news media has to report on these things, but a part of me wonders if all this media attention is what these kids who do the shooting are seeking? There's got to be a way to stop this! I fear for my daughter, who is a teacher and now of course my grandkids, crazy world.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Yes that is frightening for sure. It doesnt seem to be getting any better......so I have had a rough evening with dd1. We got up early and left cousins. Long drive to c.s., then had to eat dinner with my friend which was kinda long and boring and far away from our airbnb. By the time we were finished dd1 was chomping at the bit to go shopping downtown but we hadnt even been to the airbnb yet and it was like 530...so I just wanted to get there get unpacked and rest some. Told her we would go downtown tomorrow, and go for a little ride after the rest, which we did. Passed the mall which she wanted to go to, but I did not. We went around my old neighborhood. She was pouting some. Stopped at the mall on the way back. She was really upset by then and still wanted to go downtown, which is far and it was late. She huffed around the mall and then said why was I following her couldnt she shop alone. So then texed me and said she was having an anxiety attack and wanted to go in a pot shop and get some pot candy. I said no, come to the car. She got in the car cried and cried, said we werent doing anything she wanted to do blah blah blah. Said she wished she was dead. Cried and ranted. Told her I would take her to the hospital, but she said no. Then dd2 told her to drink some water and calm down and talked to her some. By then it was dark and I had to get some groceries for breakfast, and almost got some beer but too tired...so we get back and she wants me to hug her and she says she is sorry. Now they are watching tv. I just want to go home....really. Its just too much. She is just tired and off her routine and too much going on and not getting her way. ughhhh.....b

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Oh Bird. I am so sorry.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

I’m so sorry Bird – it sounds as though you’re going through a lot! Make sure you take care of you – ok?

You too, Nora. We both know you have tough times ahead my darling, but you’re tougher and you have us behind you.

Rusty, Liz, Pauly – thinking of you!

I’m OK. Frantically busy but that’s not unusual. My kids are taking me out for a belated Mothers’ Day lunch tomorrow as none of us were around on the official day, apart from a brief visit from G1 and HRH. OMG – she is just getting more adorable by the minute. And incredibly gifted (well…everyone needs their Grandy to think that – lol).

Funny story – I went to visit my parents yesterday. Just for context – my parents’ house is rather large and always absolutely immaculate (their homes have been featured in design magazines). And they’ve always been really strict and my mother is VERY fussy about nothing ever being out of place. But my father was showing me pictures and videos he took when HRH visited last week, and in the middle was a whole heap of HRH jumping on the bed in the master suite, which he had captioned with “This is the day H found our trampoline”!.

I can’t even begin to imagine what would have happened if I’d tried that when I was growing up! Oh well, I guess that’s what great grandparents are for!
