And was an invite extended to the young'n. I use to go to Mississippi with my high school sweetheart and his family. That first trip my Mom had a whole lot of questions for his Mom, I can remember the two Mom's and us sitting at the House of Pies as the ladies discussed my future.....it was so annoying then. Oh the fun we had.........

No I didn't extend an invite to any of his friends. This trip is costing me an arm a leg and maybe a kidney! he wants to bring all of them!:eek: NOPE! Not going to happen!

I was blessed. Neither of my kids did that swing'n hormone thing so teen years were not bad. DS had his love and breakups, but he never took them out on us and I was his confidant. My DD just had no time for all the teen nonsense, she had goals and boys or any of the drama girls took to at that age she completely distanced herself from, she was born an adult, so much so she spooked me at times.

There isn't really any drama yet, sometimes he acts like he was hatched in the woods without parents!:cautious::rolleyes::mad:

They're even showing it on our news here...people in lines at the grocery store, all stocking up on supplies so that they can stay in. Are you ok where you are? Do you have everything you need in case you can't get out of the house?

Home from the office today.
Been having problems with my feet (and, since yesterday morning, my right knee) since Monday morning. Been limping and hobbling around all week. It kicked into overdrive last night, to the point that it is beyond painful just to hobble the few steps to the bathroom. Almost fell over when I got up in the middle of the night to head to said bathroom.
So darn painful just to move my feet and lift/bend my knee.
Best I can figure, it's an acute gout attack, but, I've never had one this severe and in so many different places all at the same time, before. Usually, it's only in one or the other of the ball/big toe of a foot.
Won't know for sure (hopefully) 'til I visit the doc at 12:15.
I don't need this carp right now. :bored:

But, always looking on the bright side, it is nice to have a lazy (if somewhat painful :in pain:) day off in the middle of the week...! :D ;) :)

Sympathy like. Are you alright? Have you been to the doctor now? What did he/she say? I had that during my pregnancy, though it was in my hip/pelvis. My second was worse than my first...I was wheelchair bound for about 3-4 weeks when it got so bad that I had to crawl to the bathroom because I couldn't put weight on my right hip it hurt so bad. I'm betting yours isn't pregnancy related, so hopefully the doctor can do something for you!!!

It looks like the worst will be just south of me. The best way to describe where I'm at is near where NY, NJ and Pa meet

Depends on your point of view.. this could also be bad.
Imagine him trying to brainwash the daughter and force her to believe that her mother is "bad" and "evil". aka using her as a tool to damage.

Speaking from experience, it sounds more like he is doing it to hurt @catmom46 . It's not so much that he is interested in what's best for her, but he knows that taking his daughter away from her mother will hurt her mother, and that's what he wants. It's spite. He doesn't really care that his daughter pays the price for it as long as he gets his revenge. My dad was the same way. He told my mom at one point he wanted nothing to do with us kids, he didn't want us, and she needed to get out and take us with her....so she did. And then as soon as they were doing custody arrangements, he decided to have us as much as he was allowed because he knew that's what would hurt my mom the most...she was worried about our welfare when we were with him, so she'd be sitting at home worrying the whole time we were gone. It changed pretty quickly during the first summer because he had summer custody and when the reality of arranging babysitters, and entertaining a 6 and 7 year old on his own and feeding us and all those other pesky parenting obligations became clear to him, suddenly it wasn't worth it to him and he never took us for a summer again. He didn't even make it through the whole first summer. But it's a spite thing that will hopefully die down in time once Mr. Donkey has cooled off a bit and realizes it's not always convenient to be a parent.

Has he always been kind of a mama's boy? They say that boys tend to be mama's and girls are daddy's, but it's opposite in my house. I'm lucky if DS will lean in just a bit so I can hug him or kiss the top of his head much less get an actual hug from him...kisses: forget it. He's not snuggly at all unless he's pretty sick, and even then, it's more for warmth than that he wants cuddles. I don't anticipate having much trouble when he gets to the age of girls...I'm used to not being his favorite girl. But I'm so sorry for you!!!

I hope you don't get ice, that's really nasty stuff. Not that snow is any better. But, today's light weight cars can slide all over the place on ice.

I heard at choir on Tuesday night that a couple of teenage boys (14) decided to try skating on the ice in the pond at the nature park here in town. It had been around 0 degrees for 2 days, so they figured it was fine. They went through the ice and had to swim to a little island in the center and wait for rescue. The firemen threw them some of those silver heat blanket things to warm them up until they could get across to get them out and take them to the hospital. Thank goodness it's not that big of a pond.

Not really he was born independent always wanted to ride the bus with his friends even when offered a ride. Now is just more so. He's my baby and I have to realize he's growing up! I still don't have to like it!

EEEK we get colder than you do so the kids around here know not to go out on the ice until it has been checked out and the it's safe sign goes up.

Their flight was full. I'm flying out about three hours before them. My suitcase will go with them, and I will just hang out at the airport until they get there. I'll take my carry-on with a spare set of clothes just in case. And then I go shopping in the airport. :D just kiddin'

Will there even be flights going if the weather is bad where the flight goes?

What a cool Mom! My Mom is a blunt blurter. Not a fan of that. Plus I get to it, my Mom when relaying bad news or what could have been bad leaves you hanging as she starts out with I have bad news. Even when it has worked out OK she tells a drama story that scares the heck out of you and you find out it really as bad as she has panic'd it to be. Me I start out with this ends well then tell the story or I get to it quickly.

I said it before, I was so sad when my Mustang went up to the Pearly Gates. So sad that my Sister sent flowers from the florist.

My husband called me once and started with "Don't freak out" which of course made me instantly freak out. He had been driving to work on the interstate and a semi went to change lanes and didn't see him. Fortunately the semi was right along side, so he ended up just pushing hubby's car sideways and it only did a bit of damage to the driver's side back door, but no one was injured. So he calls me and says "Don't freak out. I was in an accident, but I'm fine." I told him next time to please lead with "I'm fine." DS was 6 I think, and since his door needed to be replaced, he asked if he could have a blue one (our car is red) and hubby said that might not look very nice...so he said red was ok, but could it maybe have blue flames on it. rofl
