Turn out the lights; the party is over!
But what a great party it was! After a fun, fun weekend...yesterday the actual B-day....was super, had a very enjoyable lunch with work friends, then came home to find a carrot cake, roses and beautiful mushy card from Bill; in the mail I had the perfect card from Tiffany and Ray; and on the front porch there were beautiful fall flowers from Blake, Molly and Joey. Then I had phone calls from Tiffany (DD); Molly (DIL); Blake (DS in Iraq); Ray (SIL) and Jo (MIL)....the only one who did not call was Tori (DSD).....in fact she did not even call her dad on his B-day...no card or anything...so I'm a little put out with her...the only time we hear from her is when she wants something....but that is another whole issue.....(sorry for the little rant...I get random sometimes). Then I also got tons of emails both at work and home....and comments here...I was really feeling the love
OK....Now I need some off topic advise.....about my little rant above on my step daughter....I can't decide if I should share my feelings with Bill about his daughter.......what do you think?
Now my challenge is to get myself remotivated....I had a carb hangover last night from all my sins....and pretty much feel like a slug right now.....Saturday is the day my MIL moves in.....we will take that 3 hour drive to her place early, early Saturday am....we will be loading stuff in a trailer that the movers will not take; the movers will be there at about 8; once everything is packed, we will come back to DFW...with MIL and her dog...another 3 hours....and then meet the movers here to get everything unpacked and her furniture in place.....so....I went into all that to say....when I try to formulate a battle plan...this move has taken over my brain. And I will save all the fustration over what she is bringing and what she is giving away....for another time.....I try my best to be patient.....because I know what goes around comes around and someday I may be alone and 80 and moving in with one of my kids.....but Bill has lost it a few times.
So where is that magic pill when you need it
