IT’S ABOUT TIME

I can’t believe how long OD was unavailable. I immediately downloaded my diary. I would hate to lose all my entries. I don’t know why OD was down. Maybe it will work better and faster now. I certainly missed OD and would check a few times a day to see if it was up and running.
So to catch you up on what’s doing here:

Lots of aggravation as my son and his ex fight over their divorce settlements. My hubby got involved. He was so upset I was worried that he would have a heart attack. I don’t think things are settled yet. What a mess! What stress! Personally I don’t know what to think. I do think my son’s girlfriend is too involved but I really don’t know. She sent us an email telling us what was going on. I don’t know why my son didn’t call. I guess I will tell him that I rather hear from him rather than her. He probably is too emotional to talk to us. He HATES his ex. His girlfriend wrote that my grandson’s mother was not spending time with him whatever that means. My son explained that one weekend whenever he called my grandson was either with a friend or grandmother. His ex explained that she had to work. Where was her LOVER?????? I just can’t spend too much time thinking about this whole thing. It’s too upsetting. I am picking up my grandson at school today and then taking him back to his MOM. I have to give her credit that she is NOT taking this mess out on me or her son.
The other big news is that I will be going to New York alone. My friend is renting a condo in Florida for three weeks. She didn’t want to spend money doing both. Fine with me. I am leaving on November 10th. I will spend the first night in Albany, New York. Then I will spend four nights in Secaucus. New Jersey. While there I will see at least three plays. I reserved WOMEN ON THE VERGE, MEMPHIS AND BILLY ELLIOT. Not sure what else I’ll do while I’m there. Probably some shopping and a museum. Then it will be on to Florida. I am so ready to get out of here.
I have been taking my grandchildren again. It’s working ok but I still find it too time consuming. I’m not sure what I’ll do when I return. I guess I don’t have to worry now. This afternoon I will pick up my grandson. He made plans for us but wouldn’t tell me. I’m sure it involves shopping. When we come home we are going to make WHERE’S WALDO bottles. I found sequins to use at the Dollar store. Also marbles and other type of beads. I will arrange everything on the dining room table and let him create the bottles himself.
I have been trying to sell stuff on Craig’s list and KIJIJI. Someone came to see the barbecue but she said it needed too much cleaning. I will have my cleaning lady clean it next week. I also have someone who wants to buy my IPOD. He wants me to meet him at the metro. I am not too crazy about it so not sure. Someone else wants me to mail it to him!!!!!!!! Another person wrote that she wanted my checking account number. She would deposit money in it and the UPS would pick up the barbecue as she was moving to the States. RIGHT!!!!!!!!! I told her I would need CASH before the barbecue was picked up.
What else? I am knitting slippers for my sister. So far so good.
Last night we played bridge with friends. My girlfriend has CANCER and is undergoing treatment. Sad thing too is that I never liked her because of her need to always be with the rich and famous. Her way of life was never mine. Now however I feel bad for her. Her hubby and mine have been friends for a hundred years.
My eldest son will be out of work at the end of the month!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if he’ll ever get another job. He talks big but I guess only time will tell.
I have been doing the WII just a few times a week. I cut the time down to thirty minutes. I was doing an hour almost every day but my body was sore!
My house is still up for sale. We have had very few people come and visit. One couple came twice but they never made an offer. My real estate agent was away for two weeks. She’ll be back today. She’ll probably plan a few Open Houses.
Hubby will be leaving for Florida on October 30. My son is driving with him.
The weather is slowly turning cold and nasty. Not sure if I need my winter coat today.
I am reading books about Child Abuse. So sad! Makes me want to take foster children again.
I am going to start making a scrapbook for my sister. I have all the pictures ready to go. Then hubby wants me to make one for him. He will gather the pictures over the winter.
I guess  that’s enough for now. I have to decide if I am going back to sleep or getting dressed and going to McDonalds for breakfast. I love their hash browns. The it’s off to the gynochologist. Then some shopping before I pick up my grandson.
I’ll bring him here. Hubby promised to make him grilled cheese for supper. Glad that he’ll spend some time with him. 
Then tonight the interior decorator is coming. She’ll look round here first and then we’ll take her to see the new place. She will advise us about where we can put our collections in the new condo. I’m anxious to hear her suggestions.
Anyhow I better start my day.
WELCOME BACK FRIENDS. I’ll catch up during the next day or so.
