Saturday

Not a lot happening today.  Got the cleaning done.  Relaxed, had a drink.  Watching "Night at the Museum".   Nice Saturday night.  It's a fun movie.

Wow, tomorrow is Greg's birthday.  35 years old.  Never thought either of us would make it this far.  :-).  He was born on a Saturday morning, September 4 at 5:59 a.m.  Kept me up all night.  This was after 2 false labors.

He really turned into a great young man.  Has a store he opened with a partner.  He is wonderful.   Happy birthday, Greg.  Really proud of you.

Anyhow, that's it for today.  It's a long weekend with rain for most of it.  Blah.  But I am getting a lot done.

Have a great rest of the weekend, my friends.

Your Saturday sounds like my sort of Saturday. Not too much work and some relaxing time. Why is it that the boys do that to their mum's the girls wouldn't do that to us. Lauren was born at 10.39 am after a three hour labour. My boys were born at 1.30 am and 3.30 am and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I am sure that Greg is also proud of you Belinda. You raised him by yourself and should be very proud of the way that he has turned out. He would not have turned into the lovely young man that he has if it wasn't for you. You deserve a lot of praise and a big pat on the back.

I am very proud of him, Julie. Even he has admitted he was an a**hole during his teen years. And, even though he still doesn't listen to me, he always admits that I was right. :-). Boys will be boys.

I always consider that I did what had to be done. Nothing to gather praise for. Same as every mom out there.

I had good kids and they never gave me one ounce of trouble as they say. Paul was the most trying of the three and he still is, just his personality. They don't listen to me either. My husband says I don't listen to him and I reply 'I always listen but I eventually do what I want to do'. I think that is fair, so fair with the kids as well. They are adults now and have to decide how to live their lives themselves. Hopefully we taught them the proper guidelines so that they can make the right decisions. Having children is a committment and there is no turning back, you just have to get on with it and do the very best you able to. Not like the current generation here, they don't want to be responsible for anything let alone the children they have. I saw a terribly bad behaved little 4 year old boy in the supermarket today. I would have been appalled if one of mine had behaved like he did, but they just laughed at him, he was so rude. Anyway enought complaining, have a lovely evening. Julie

Sunday

It has been a strange day, weather wise.  Woke up to pouring rain, then beautiful sunshine, the pouring rain again.  Weird.  I am really missing Mumbushi this week.  Loved that little guy.  FB is getting a little weird.  We had a really nice group, then it grew.  In some ways it is a little better, in some ways, I liked the group we had.  Can you tell I don't like change too much?  I think I am just feeling too sentimental tonight.  Missing all my babies and can't wait to see them.  Mumbushi was only with us a short time, but he touched a lot of lives.  I am so sorry I never got to meet him.  Oh, Lord, the tears are starting. A little upset tonight.  Maybe I am being a little petty, but I don't care.  My son's girlfriend's family want to throw a birthday party for him tomorrow.  This is great.  However, for his birthday, he borrowed my car to go to a wedding, and stayed there overnight.  Just came back this evening, so no time to really do anything for him.  Now t

Ah, another week has gone by.  16 days left before I leave.  I realized today that it is not traveling that I am nervous about.  I think I have this fairy tale opinion of Africa that I had had since I was a kid.  I have dreamed of going for so long.  But with all that's going on, my views have shattered.   I always thought of Africa as deep jungles, lost rivers and exotic locations.  Maybe it was like that when I was a kid, but that was 45 years ago.  A lot changes in that time. Back to work tomorrow.  The weekend was a complete write-off.  Pouring rain, cold, miserable.  But I got a lot done.  Washed all the bedding from the guests last week.  So everything is good. Long weekend next week.  Our Thanksgiving.  I am invited to the "future in-laws??" for dinner.  Am looking forward to it.  Such a great family.  I am so glad Greg met Allie.  She is a wonderful girl (woman). Anyhow, I am all packed.  I think I have my luggage at the good weight.  I had to fix one of my

Monday

Have been doing a lot of thinking tonight.  I realize I can hold a grudge.  In my life, I have been abandoned by 2 mothers and a father.  However both mothers decided to come back into my life around the same time.  And it was a case of "let's forget about what was and there was nothing in the middle".  Everything is normal, we go on as if nothing happened.  Excuse me, but FUCK THAT.  I am not going to forget everything and just act like everything is normal.  I hate swearing, but there are a few times when it is warranted and this is one of them. Sorry for the rant.  It just really ticks me off that they expect me to be available when they decide to show up, like it's a family obligation.  There has never actually been a family situation. O.k. I have gotten it out of my system.  Deep breaths.  Relax.  Done. How are all my friends today?  Hope you are having a great week.  Just took Kayla for her walk.  We had a storm a little earlier this evening and when we we
