Okay, I have to share...but I just talked online with my 4 1/2 yr old's mom again - last time we talked for 2 hours or something like that and a little earlier tonight we talked online for 3 to 3 1/2 hours and it was great .

I just love how we get each other cause that doesn't always happen and my 6 yr old's mom and I don't get each other the same way, but our relationship is just different too.

Anyway, before I get way off on tangents here, what I had to share was that when my 4 1/2 yr old's mom and I were talking, we started talking about how we'd like to hang out and stuff and she's going to check her calendar and then get back to me about just me and her meeting up to hang out like sometime between May 17 and May 27 or something. My hubby wants to meet her too so he might come along with me, but I don't know if my 4 1/2 yr old's Dad will come or not yet...we'll have to see.

Mainly, I'm excited about hanging out with my 4 1/2 yr old's mom and starting to be more open that way too even though I won't be visiting with my 4 1/2 yr old herself yet. But I want to just hang out with my 4 1/2 yr old's mom too cause she and I are like best friends so I'm excited .

I'm feeling very happy, hyper and bouncy tonight lol. Cause of hopefully setting something up to hang out with my 4 1/2 yr old's mom/parents and cause of going away this weekend and not dealing with my mom on Mother's Day - YAY lol and multiple things.

Anyway, I just had to share so now I need to go try to calm myself down ha ha lol .

That sounds so great Anne!!
What FUN!

[sstuart]

I hope it works out and you guys get to get together. That would be great.

[kakuehl]

Sounds great, Anne. Cultivate that relationship.

How's the job search going? Moving out of Mom's house may help your relationship with her. Try to doing something nice for her for Mother's Day even if you don't feel like it. (Love is a verb, not just a feeling.)

Meanwhile, all, I'm trying to recover from my tooth extraction while keeping up with my new puppy. I think it's time for another nap!

[lahdh4]

Anne, that is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! so happy for you.

[kakuehl]

Well. I found something to help me forget the tooth. I tripped on the last step off the back porch and broke my ankle! So, I get to spend Mother's Day in the hospital. I guess now that there is a plate and a screw in my ankle, I can literally say I screwed up!

[zxczxcasdasd]

Oh no! Kudos...however...for your pun.

Will the "party" be coming to you in the hospital? And hey, are you getting internet in the hospital?

[kakuehl]

Internet - yes. J & S are to come see me. Is that a party?? Everything is a major effort... the 6 feet to the bathroom feels like 6 miles...

[quantum]

Kathy, I'm SO glad to hear from you! You really did a job on yourself.
((((Kathy))))

[kakuehl]

The party has come and gone... I've had many visitors and phone calls. And Yes, the hospital has internet so I've been merrily (or crazily) posting! How is little J doing now, btw? I think my injury is a lot easier than what your family has endured. The Dr. took off the dressing today; I hope to go home tomorrow. I'm to have a "cami-boot" (sp) that will enable to put some weight on my foot.

[zxczxcasdasd]

Whew! Well, I'm glad you've had internet there at the hosp!

We're all fine. Little J bounced right back. He did make a comment a couple days after that he "almost went past his limit." He's fine now. They replaced the windows to his room over there so fast that he never even saw the smashed ones, which is good.

Big J, on the other hand, it has come to my attention, has been telling everyone that I lost it and he had to be the calm one to take control. This is the kid who was yelling into the phone to his grandparents "Everything is gone! Everything is gone!" while I was trying to signal him to knock it off. TVs, electronics, even safe contents is VERY different from "everything" and I did not want them thinking their house was empty. He said yesterday that what he *meant* was "everything electronic is gone". Ha.

MIL is mostly sad about the pieces that were her mother's and my FIL's mother's, but is mostly handling it fine.

Get this...they get a brand new replacement safe from the manufacturer as I guess if your safe is breached they replace it at no cost. MIL, though fails to see the point in it if the stuff gets stolen anyway and they destroy your home in the process. So her new plan is to replace it as it was, since it was really built in and not replacing it would be it's own headache, but she won't lock it and is going to put a note on the front..."Take what you want, just please don't make a mess."

How was everyone's Mother's Day weekend then?

I hope you'll recover quickly and be alright, Kathy.

My weekend was great . I got to take a break from living here with my parents and everyone and have a fun, relaxing weekend - it was definitely what both Hubby and I needed.

I got to eat lots of strawberries and dip them in chocolate if I wanted on Sunday and we just had a really good time with Hubby's parents. My parents and family here had a good time as well.

I got a cute Mother's Day card that my 6 yr. old wrote a note in to me telling me she loves me and signing her name etc. and her parents signed it too. They also included a couple recent, adorable pictures of my 6 yr. old too and they sent me a book also.

Anyway, it was a very good weekend for me in lots of ways. I just talked with my 4 1/2 yr. old's mom too and she was excited to hear how things went well this weekend for me and she's been stressing and busy with some stuff so she felt really bad cause she hadn't got me anything for Mother's Day, but I knew what was going on and we were talking on Facebook so that was enough for me for Mother's Day...well...except maybe I would like some recent pics of my 4 1/2 yr old, but she'll get to it soon, I'm sure.

While we were talking tonight though, we set a date, time and place for us to meet up, have lunch and hang out some. It'll just be myself and my 4 1/2 yr. old's mom this time cause her husband and mine will be working/otherwise occupied and it's just us getting to hang out for now, which is way cool . But yeah, in two weeks, we're going to meet up for lunch and all and she asked if that could count toward her Mother's Day gift for me this year and I was like how could that not count for my Mother's Day gift and more lol.

So, anyway, we have something set up now and Hubby and I are getting closer to being able to move out on our own, which as you said, Kathy, will definitely help things. My parents are leaving tomorrow for a trip out of town to visit one of my brothers, his wife and kids in Texas and they'll be gone for around two weeks so that will help things around here as well. Then when they come back, Hubby and I are going away for 4-5 days to a fancy hotel for our one year anniversary and so things are looking up.

Sorry, I got so long winded...just had a little more to say/update on than I thought and I've been pretty hyped up about things today. Oh and Hubby just got recommended for two positions that would be promotions with pay raises in the company he's working with so he's going to check that out now too and he's getting ready to go back to school online this fall and I'm hoping to be going back as well.

Anyway, enough about me...how's things with all of you? I hope you're all doing well .

[lahdh4]

I am thinking about making a call to E. It has been over 2 weeks and NOTHING. I am really getting ticked off right now.
