THE FIRST TIME , I THINK

Last night we planned to go out for supper with my daughter and her boyfriend. My hubby called the restaurant to make reservations. Then he went to play golf with my daughter’s boyfriend. My daughter planned to spend quality time with me. Anyhow soon enough her friend called and said that the only night she was available to see her was last night. She had a babysitter. So my daughter asked if it was ok……………that she would spend today with us and part of the night. WELL, OF COURSE I SAID IT WAS OK! A few minutes later I told her it was NOT OK!!!!!!!!!!! After all we had plans and couldn’t she change plans with her friends?????? Again she said it was the only night her friend was available!!!!! I said, OK! Don’t worry! We Have tickets for the show. We would be ok. But my daughter felt guilty because she did change her plans and will see her friend tonight instead. We will be busy with the party so it works out fine. I have hardly ever told my kids how I really felt. I think as I get older I am getting more emotional. We went to Bone Fish grill. I had excellent fish and we had a very enjoyable evening. I am so glad I spoke up. After all she came to visit us and we spent almost no time together. She spent the first two days organizing her PHD thesis. The next three days she went to Key West. I thought we deserved a little bit of her time. Enough said!!!!!!!!!
Her boyfriend seems to be a very nice man……friendly, easy going etc. I am not sure if they will ever move in or get married. Who cares? Her boyfriend goes home on Monday. My daughter on Thursday so we will have some alone time. I am sure she will want to go shopping.
Tonight is my Hanukah party. Thirty people coming. Everyone here knows they will have to HELP GET READY!!!!!!!!!!! Mostly we have to organize the house! I just hope I can be calm about the preparations. I guess I should try to get some more sleep.
