    Linda, DD has gotten her offer and has sent her counter offer...she is going to move....either this August, january, or next June after kindergarten ends.  Depression here....as previously stated.  But I managed to be supportive when they came out to the beach today.
    Her job is in Quincy and her house search is in Hingham and Cohasset.  The area seems so much like where we live now and where DD grew up...and towns & schools seem small like where she lives now in NJ.   Do you know anything about these towns?

    Chris, you sound so much like me...funny thing is, DH is not our "father" and if our kids are old enough to honor Dad, they should. .I did manage to get the gifts early this year...but they remain unwrapped and it is 2 AM...I don't feel motivated.  I told DH I don't have a card for him and it said "it figures" ... it is so important to him to have it on time.  Truth is, I shopped early for a card and could not find ONE that said what I wanted...they were too too gushy and went on and on about every little thing that isn't really true in my house...and only one funny card which did not relate...I just hate picking out cards ... I want to design a line of cards that are not gushy - that show appreciation, gratitude and give compliment to the spouse...lots of people need this.  I guess I should find a blank note card and write something.  I surely won't be getting up early.
    Good news...DS is here from Chicago...Grandson is here from NYC...and DD who is moving was out for the day with her DH and kids.  We had dinner and pitchers of margaritas outdoors on Main Street in my town tonight.  it was very cool (not warm).
    I have been drowning myself in comfort foods...so am temporarily in "fat clothes"...I hope I can mobilize and walk the beach and the treadmill next week. 
    (((Sandy))) hope you find some peaceful rest...you deserve it. 
    Sheila, can you come and clean my kitchen??  Do you have leftover energy?  We'll have fun.

    (((TOL)))

    shiela have fun at the chinese buffet...jealous...although I know I will get it again...

    Joan...so sorry that you have to deal with this...It will give you a place to go to visit tho...what career is she in? I agree with the card thing, one of my daughters I never feel all soft and fuzzy and the cards are like that, I should write some myself or someone should....just Happy Birthday to you....not "dear daugher we love you and are so glad that you are our daughtera' lol....

    I got a DQ milkshake, the remainder is in the freezer......waiting til 9 where I can see if I can get hours the on calls's which is what I am can only get hours on sunday after 9....we will see.....next week is my week off so that is the only week I can do work, and only certain days....last month there wasn't any and with the no car issue, OMG so frustrated....I know I will get it fixed but want to get the hell out of this house and away from them for a while....i am hermitting too much...

    Really need to weedwack the lazy azz kids I have will not do it...hate that in my head I can do it, we will see what happens with the body, it is too early to do it yet I will wait until like 930 and see....

    Have a Wonderful Father's Day!!

    Happy Father's Day to all of you, after all without mothers, they could not be dads.  DH got an emergency call from work at 5:30 this morning and has been gone since.  I will be preparing Chicken Kiev and cooking it at my parents' home.  

    DS and his fiance are no longer together.  There will be no reconcilliation, so he is bound to be sad today.

    Meece......seen that with 2 of my grandsons...it was heartbreaking....the one who was in Carnagie Mellon University at the time ( and so was she), was madly in love...went with her for 3 years.....Tiffany jewelry, trips to Hawaii, Miami, New York City for weekends, best restaurants, treated her like a Queen.....and his Mom warned something is wrong after he graduated.....she lived in Pittsburgh, ( where the university was, he was 5 hours away, suburban Philly, where he was hired by JP Morgan Chase....drove every weekend to see her......suddenly, no calls, excuses, cell was dead, broke. Began to tell him...don't come this weekend......finally on advice from his mother he confronted her.......he said things were fine, and even kept the vacation he planned to Aruba.....they went...........1 month later she told him it was over.........on the way home from Pittsburgh he wrecked his brand new Lincoln MKZ, but was not hurt....



    Thought he would never be the same.....his job took him to Chicago a couple years later...there he met an amazing woman, who after 3 years married her....she worships him....



    After the first heartbreak I said.." Kevin, things happen for a reason, there is someone special out there for you, while I held him close, praying I was right" ....I was, and that was my first airplane ride, to his wedding in Chicago...............God is good.......

    Sandy, and others who understand how I'm slowly accepting the kids' moving...
    DD works for NBC cable - she was promoted to a VP for northeast cable sales while she was out on maternity leave almost 6 years ago.  Since then, Comcast bought the cable, then recently all of NBC.  They changed her job to customer service after she closed million $$ deals for them; then they cut her salary this year by a huge amount.  She sees no future there.  This new job will remedy all that...they know her, want her, and will treat her well.  DSiL has no job though...but they will work it out.  The nanny will be devastated when they tell her.  Maybe she'll go with them.

    Thanks for asking...
    Today is a good day; DS here from Chicago, DD#2 coming from CT...heading to beach...get to see my other 2 grand kids.  Only one glitch that is hanging over the family and I cannot explain now...I hope it does not blow up today. 

    Have a good day, especially you moms who serve as mom and dad.
    Meece, sorry for your DS...breakups are so so hard.

    Hugs

    Joan

    Joan...I have 2 who live there.....brothers......the other is the one who was jilted 2 times....he scared me to death....actually ended up on Paxil after the first....3 years......she cheated also....then the 2nd girl he met was another 3 years....she cheated too.....now he owns a dog, and says, not looking for anyone....owns a brand new condo right on Lake Michigan, has a fabulous job, and doing fine......told them they are too good to the girls... They laugh....



    They both make 6 figure salaries.......Kevin, and Patrick bought their condo together, but Patrick bought Kevin out, once Kevin got married this past April.....he moved into his new wife's place..........he is thinking of changing jobs, so no house for them now, cause he may have a position in Santa Barbara, Ca........time will tell...



    Your son will find the right girl too.....hugs

    Oh Ducky- teared up at that story about your grandson... 

    ((((((Meece)))))  So sorry about DS.   

    (((((Joan)))))  I'm already feeling sad about DD moving to campus in August... And DS possibly going to school next year... 

    Hope you are feeling better, Sandy - and enjoy your lasagne.

    Trying to get motivated to get a run in before the rain comes.  The other day I actually got down to a 12 min mile (I still can't believe how slow I've become -I averaged a 10:28 mile in the half marathon I ran 10 yrs ago...12 min mile - bah!)  But last night I was back to 12:15 after a big meal and a couple margaritas ( they were so good!)  I thought maybe the margaritas would make me be able to push myself more - but I guess not...  We'll see how I do tonight(though I did just eat half a bag of kettlecorn - oink)  And I wonder why I can't keep off weight I lose...  duh

    DD went back to Bermuda she is there safe and sound, kind of lonely here but I am trying to keep myself busy. Cleaning out closets with his clothes and other items, re arranging things. Had a Newpro bath fitter rep come here, they wanted over 7 grand to redo the tub and shower area.  NOT GONNA HAPPEN, only can afford 3 to 4 with some help from me SIL & DD.  The living room needs paint and wallpaper but in due time, I can't even decide what colors I want to go with.

    Went for my run - went on Mapquest to see how far Ferry Park is from my house and was surprised to see it's only 1 1/2 miles away- so I went down there to see how the flooding is - I think it has receded a little since DS drove me down there the other day.  Mosquitoes are out in force - dumped out the bird bath in case those buggars decided to breed there - figured it's supposed to rain overnight so maybe the birds will have some fresh water from that... a swarm of mosquitoes attacked me when I did it - hate mosquitoes.

    Meece - sorry for your DS - was this the one with the mom that was concerning or as I recall, she was a bit of a red flag?

    Joan - believe me, I understand.  Hope the other issue didn't blow up today.

    Sheila - it's getting to be the day to wear the D.  Are you getting excited?  is DD here with her DH now?

    Chris - you work, help with your in-laws, take care of your kids and run - you deserve a little kettle corn!!

    Sandy - a little lasagne, hope you enjoyed it and I hope you got some hours if that's what you feel up to doing.

    Linda - your menu sounded great - hope you are relaxing or even sound asleep by now.

    Ducky - it's so wonderful you have always been there not only for children but for the grands.

    Deb - good for you keeping busy.  I can't believe bathfitter is that much!!!  As for paint - I buy some poster boards, sponge brushes and a few colors and hang the sample boards all over and look at all different times of day before I decide.

    Granny - nice to see you back here.

    I am going to be with my little girls on the 21st - I can't wait to be with them but I am anxious about DIL's post delivery hormonal state.  Argh - will this ever be easy?

    Joan......I slept at my daughter's last night......she came back about 1am, and we talked in bed for a while.......she said they were thinking "heart" also....not happy with the hospital he is in, but they were on their way home from the gym, and when it came on suddenly they were down the street from that hospital....his PCP whom she called is not on that staff, but said " you did the right thing" he needed immediate attention...she called this morning after seeing him and said he has to be transported to another facility because they have no MRI machine......are you kidding me........and the place he is going to is worse then the one he is in.......



    He does seem fine though, at least for now....will keep you posted.....thanks for asking....hugs

    Hope SIL is okay, Ducky. 

    I hope your DIL will be okay, Diane. 

    DS has finals.  I hope he can do well.  

    Have to take the car DD drives to have the tire fixed- low tire pressure warning light came on- there is a screw in her tire...  same tire we had to replace when she hit a car-eating pot hole a few months ago...  I really want to replace the tire - don't trust a repair job for the car my baby is driving around...

    His 2 children have finals today....hope all this drama does not affect their concentration....they re both tight A students......4.0 GPA, and a low score will drop their grade......we assured them it looks better today, but they are too smart to fall for that line...



    Will keep you posted.....hugs

    They are very easy to make, Sandy.  You can use whatever you love.  My boys favorite is a chocolate trifle.  Chocolate cake, choco pudding, cool whip or whipped cream and heath bar bits. YUM!

    Sandy, I was here at 3 AM!   Enjoy the DQ...sometimes it just HAS to be DQ.

    Ducky, they surely did the right thing by going to the nearest hospital.  No chance of him going to where family thinks is best?  Are his symptoms clearing up? 
    You are one darned super ducky...always there for your family.
