What the what? It's still September or my calendar is wrong or you need to move!

I have never wanted to move so bad, since I've lived here. But, I love my grandkids, they are so loving and thoughtful, that's what keeps me here. Daughter and son in law, get along, so very good. I don't want to chose between family and location.

We go from summer to winter, very fast. The Denver area is still warm, the higher country, where we live....not so much.

I looked. NJ has lots of them. Now near you, not so sure.

I'll look when my dh is back at work.

 

[betty rose]

I was hoping you and your dh were out on a fun adventure

No such luck, but I have a reason to stay in bed , longer than usual. It's just too cold in the house in the morning. So, after awaking at 3 a.m. until 5 a. m. I finally turn over and go back to sleep. I would love to get up and "talk" with all of you in the early morning hours, out here. But it's too darn cold at this time of morning.

We had frost last night! brrrr.....

This country is unhinged. I'm pretty sick of this. I want to go back to the 50's, it wasn't perfect, but you didn't have to worry about going out and being shot.

But there would have been a few places in the country where i couldn't travel freely

 

[betty rose]

Snow!

puke, sorry!

If the rumor is true that Disney wants to buy Twitter....Oy Vey

I saw that and wondered if that's true or a distraction. Never seem to know one way or the other until it's official

My dh better be better tomorrow. he's a giant pain in the tushie. I finally have had it and am watching The Force Awakens with a glass of wine(sangria to be precise, it's been sitting in the fridge for a few day haven't had time to get to it). Everybody is fed, my work is done so from now until morning they can all fend for themselves

I think I'd have handled it better if he had included me in the decision. We had always said we'd have 3, and when DS was born, I didn't get so weepy because I knew we'd have another one...it wasn't my last baby. And then came the time we had always said we wanted to have the 3rd...about 3-4 years after the first 2. (We had picked out names, discussed timing, etc.) Suddenly he says he's content with the 2 and that's the end of the discussion. We didn't even talk about it, he never mentioned he was having second thoughts or anything. It was just...he had made the decision and that was it. I could understand if it was a dangerous situation or if one of the kids had serious health issues that took up a lot of our time and energy. But I felt like, in any case, I should kind of be included in the decision making on that. And not being the kind of woman who would just stop using the pill, my hands were tied. I still feel almost a loss of the baby I never got to have even though I feel it's too late now. Does that sound stupid?

No, it's not stupid. But don't dwell on the past, or what might have been....I know it's hard, I have regrets with hubby's decisions. I still try to move on, as it does no good to dwell on wrong decisions. Life is much better if you can move on.....I admit, I've spent a life time trying to do that. This is the school of hard knocks for a lot of us. Stay strong....

Is your hubby sick? I'm so sorry, I tend to spend time in bed and bring in lots of water. I hope it's nothing serious. And I hope he gets well, for your sake!

 

[betty rose]

Thanks. My husband is usually really good about stuff like that, and we really had talked about EVERYTHING before we were married. We really had everything planned out...where we would live, who would be responsible for which chores, how many children we wanted to have and when, etc. Obviously some things don't work out the way you plan and you have to just kind of go with it, but he wouldn't even talk about the change in plan with me. I still don't know why. It's so out of character for him to be like that and this is the ONLY issue he's done that with. So I guess he must have a reason and he's just not sharing it with me or doesn't know how to voice it. If he did this all the time it would be a deal-breaker for me...I wouldn't tolerate not having any vote in my own life. But I think that's what is so shocking about it...it's NOT like him at all, so I can't really get mad at him for changing his mind.

Great way, to move on. Going back doesn't accomplish anything. Wise move, on your part!

It's just a little cold but he's acting like he has the plague. @Songbird76 posted the funniest thing about man colds on the working out thread today. It fits. Knock wood I almost never get sick but several years ago I got the flu and kept going the whole time. Men

Wow! What a horrible time, just to take off. I'm not a fan of shaky planes. Glad you got to Miami in one piece. So many hours too late.

I love little planes, I actually prefer being in a very small plane as opposed to most commercial jets. Maybe for the same reason I don't like driving in the back seat.

It's early, but I need to scrounge up something for dinner, for hubby....I'm having hot soup. Good evening to everyone.

@Cesar R M , what did your sister find out about her car? Did they mess up her brakes when they did the brake job?
