********************
My sweet Abby is getting married this summer THEN moving to San Diego Ca! I can not fathom driving her and her new HUSBAND(did i just type that?) to SD and then turning around and leaving her!!!!!
He 'Joe' is in the US Navy & stationed at the Naval Base there and as customary when one weds another you move in together-start a life together.... justNOThalfwayacrossthecountry see imahorribleperson!
I REALLY want to NOT like this young man...but I can't-he is everything a mom could hope for her daughter. AND his family, oh the horrors!!! They set the example for this fine young man and well as much as I didn't wanna like them either...it's impossible-they are GREAT!
So this summer is gonna be a busy one for this OCD over-planner-who-cant-plan-a-freakin-thing-cuz! I meant that nicely...it's just you never know when your future SIL is gonna get leave and these youngins are, so, well, YOUNG...how will they make it on their own! Roots and Wings!
*******************
Yesterday I had to pick Jess up from her friends house & I let my lil doggers ginger ride with me....when we returned home I may or may not have forgot she rode with me and left her in the car for an hour or so...see imahorribleperson...in my defense she left the comfort of my lap and climbed to the third row to scavenge for food particles
*******************
Reese had a fever blister on his lip and I may OR may not have said put-a-band-aid-onit-cuz-I-aint-spendin-$18-on-abreva... imsonicelikethat!
My Confession for today: I MISS my Mom!
Abby and "Joe" will be fine. Or they won't. That's just the plain truth of it. Try REALLY, REALLY hard to remember....you gave her the roots and the wings. Let her fly baby. Let her fly. You'll likely be even more amazed then you are today at the young woman she will become.
ReplyDeleteEverything else will take care of itself. Buy Reese more bandaids cause I'm with you - screw the $18. That could buy you more chocolate covered pretzels!!!!
You horrible person....that is just like every one of us....gosh we are all horrible together....glad your part of the club!
ReplyDeleteFrom my experience, the mother of the bride gets to pick the color of her dress 1st. She can then tell the groom's mother I'm picking yellow, so go ahead and order that navy dress you want. Then she will change her mind and go with navy, so the MOG will pick a shde of blueish green never seeing the bridesmaids dresses which were described as plum and celery. On the big day she will look like one of the bridesmaids and feel like people are whispering about her. Don't be that MOB.
ReplyDeleteAbby is getting married? Wow! I know how hard it is when they are young. My oldest got married at 20 and I thought, "What happens if she's not ready?" They have done very well. She is now 24 and she will tell you that she's been thankful that I was a phone call away. Abby will be the same.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you...medication is expensive these days. Get the boy some more bandaids. Better yet, look up some old home remedies online. There's got to be one for fever blisters, right?
We've missed you here, Georgie.
ReplyDeleteWell, I suspect your family, in spite of your horribleness, still have it pretty darned good! :) Good to hear from you :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh. You, of all people I know, are not a horrible person!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love you!
Catch ya next time I'm in the T-Town!
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?! YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER GETTING MARRIED? Say it ain't so!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. :)
Yikes, your little girl is all grown up now!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a really mean mom too - my son is in his first month of being away at college and he called and asked me to upgrade his meal plan so he could have the unlimited meals in the cafeteria and I told him-buck up sweetheart, you can figure out how to buy food with the food money you have just like you're going to have to do the rest of your life. I'm a horrible person.
Time really flies. It seems just like yesterday and Abby is soon to be married. Don't be afraid. I'm sure she'll get along fine. As you said, Joe is a good man. You just have to trust him.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! MARRIED?
ReplyDeleteOr should I do this 16 Candles style... "Mallied?!"
