I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I felt her presence today. As soon as we sat down I got this shiver down my right side and could smell her. No lie. I don't look for things like that so I'm sincere when I say this.
It's been a while since we've gone there cause of my foot situation so maybe she was acknowledging that. Who knows.
Way - your dh is right. I am so glad he sees it that way. What the flying monkeys think of you and him doesn't matter and what fil thinks doesn't matter either. He doesn't appreciate what you do for him now anyway.
Should read ‘Their mother did an incredible job, not her mother.’ I know that I proofread my post and hit save edits. Yet, my autocorrect does this crap all the time! Grrrrrrr!
I like your husband!
I just asked my DH what we are getting FIL for Father’s Day. DH reply was , “ we look after him all year in AL , that’s what he’s getting and that it’s more than he deserves “ …..Ouch !
I said yeah but the flying monkey steps will be coming with a gift. DH says “ I’m not playing that game. I don’t care what they bring “. His father already has made it clear for years that he prefers them over his own kid anyway . I feel bad for DH.
For Father’s Day, my cousins send their mom a Father’s Day card and gift. They wish her a happy Father’s Day and tell their mom that she was the best mom AND dad ever!
All of my cousin’s hard work paid off! Her grown children are responsible like she is and show her appreciation for the sacrifices that she made for them.
She scrimped and saved to raise those children. She continually encouraged them.
I think it’s so sweet that her children tell her Happy Father’s Day.
Need. I don’t want to think about the end of year holidays yet. Also , My mother died on Thanksgiving Day 😳
Special occasions can be stressful! Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter!
I can see why some people look at them as just another day.
I place flowers on the graves too.
I often think of something that my grandmother would say. She adored flowers. My grandfather grew the most beautiful roses. Her expression was, “Give me flowers while I am living and can enjoy them.”
I loved helping my grandfather in the garden. It gave me tremendous pleasure to bring her the fresh cut roses that grandpa handed me to give to my grandmother for the dining room table. 😊
I hate being the responsible one.
while i eat the cake and biscuits. i know it doesn't sound like a fair deal, but...
I'll update when ready. Feel a bit.. protective..? I suppose right now. All ok but feel like I need to press play to start a very long roadtrip playlist - going to be a l o o o n g journey.
One friend said, “It’s twins!” The other one said, “We are expecting twins too!” They both said to me. “Now, it’s your turn! Twins?” Nope! Only one baby.
One had identical twins. The other had fraternal twins.
They are most definitely individuals. Yet, most twins will tell you themselves, that they share a bond that is different from ordinary siblings.
It is interesting how parents dress them alike. Many parents dress all siblings alike when they are young.
Children have their own distinct personalities and preferences. It’s fascinating watching children grow and develop their own unique identities.
Siblings can be raised in the same household and be as different as night and day in their personalities.
I’m sorry that your twin didn’t survive.
I wanted twins when I was pregnant. There’s something really special about twins.
Twins are fascinating to me. The ‘twin talk’ of babies is so cute! It’s a special kind of bond.
A clone would be nice!
I always wanted a twin so I could pull pranks on my parents and teachers. There were two sets of twins in my neighborhood that I loved hanging out with. They had so much fun pulling pranks on everyone.
but a clone would be very handy. i'll try to go find a place where i can get cloned, with additional feature: super efficient at work.
