Looks like many here could use a little soothing today. So enjoy a tranquil day or at least savor each quiet moment.
((Lilac & dd)) -know all too well a lot of those dynamics, Lilac. Of course in our case xsil ended up with custody of our 2 dgks -this after he had been under only supervised visitation not too many years prior. DGS18 left home in June as soon as he graduated. That leaves dgd16 home alone with dad -hoping he's growing to appreciate her a little more.
Got up and threw a beef stew together in the crockpot for later this afternoon. Dfriend/old boss and her dh are coming for dinner. Probably one of the busiest days for dh. Everyone who's left to do so, is closing up and he has several winterizations to do. He was running from 6am to 8pm yesterday.
DS-R tried to start dd's MH and it was dead -so they have that to contend with this morning too. Plan is to go to church but not sure dh will make it.
Been checking the weather out for next Monday - Friday for here and Nashville, TN. Think we just might escape any snow -certainly hope so. We definitely are leaving next Monday. The last big 'to-do' will be on Sunday when they drain the sprinkler system in the rec hall. Then there should only be our winterizing Monday morning and hopefully we'll be on the road.
DGD13 lost her weekend home pass this past weekend. She evidently became quite physical on Friday. Have to wonder what will happen after she's home. Of course if this keeps up she'll be 'extended' again or possibly they will find a different program for her. (which at this point would be a good thing for everyone)
Time to jump in the shower and get my oatmeal and be on with my day. BBL I hope.
