GRATITUDE
FOR MY TWO WONDERFUL CARING SONS
HAVING THE ENERGY TO DO ALL I NEED TO DO.
I was SUPER busy all day.
I went to CURVES in the morning. I joined for the year. I did three rounds of the machines. It was no harder than doing two and a half. I wonder if I am working hard enough.
I went for lunch with my married son. I don’t know what I was nervous about. We had plenty to talk about and it was very pleasant. The bottom line is that his wife and probably him too wants me to be more involved with their son. They want me to come over and spend time with the baby and them. It’s unbelievable. I NEVER wanted to spend time with my parents. He said I should come Fridays for supper. He wouldn’t take no for an answer. We usually go to the trailer so not sure what I am going to do. I am not in a rush to go to the trailer but hubby certainly is. Do I stay and go to the trailer after supper? Is my place with my hubby? I am so use to doing everything my hubby wants to do. My son also suggested that I leave later for Florida and come home once or twice during the winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To tell you the truth I would just stay here if not for my hubby. If the weather was bad I would just stay in. I am NOT an outdoor person anyhow. I am afraid of the sun because I had a melanoma a few years back.
I told him that I want to spend part of Hanukah together so maybe I will leave later if my children won’t be able to come to Florida. MY BIG question is my hubby. Do I have to do what he does or wants to do? Can I take a stand? If I do is it showing the children that I can be independent? If I stick with my hubby does it show them what a devoted couple does?
At suppertime I told my hubby I will probably go there for supper on Friday. He didn’t say anything.
My son has such exciting plans. Now he just bought a senior home for about 33 people. His mother-in-law is running it. Now he is thinking of buying a gas station on the highway where he says there isn’t one for miles. I am so proud of him. He has my ambition but at least he does something about it. I only have ideas and do nothing.
After lunch I went to the framing store where I ordered some canvasses. Monday I start going back to my studio. I wanted to take back the three d art pictures that I left in the Fall but she said it will probably get busy now and I should still leave them. I have to ask to see them as I didn’t see them anywhere today.
Then I went to a hardware store where I bought some plastic shelves for my scrapbooking room. It turns out they are too wide so probably will have to return them.
I walked through WINNERS but didn’t buy anything.
Then I went into AN OFFICE SUPPLY STORE where I bought some pens and pads. I love buying stationery.
Next was a large computer store. I looked at the printers and video cameras but didn’t buy one yet. I bought a cable so I could hook up my TV. Until now my hubby and I were sharing a connection. I couldn’t watch what I wanted when he was watching so finally got my own connection. I was waiting for him to do it but it would take him forever.
Then I went to our local bookstore and bought the South Beach diet books. Now to read them………………….
I went to the butcher and bought Bar B Q chickens for supper.
Finally I went to visit my mother. I paid the girl who looks after her.
I came home, made supper, did the dishes, did some knitting and fell asleep. Can you blame me????????
Now I hope to do some quilting as my class is tomorrow night.
It was a very hectic but productive day.
Wow! How very cool that you had a good lunch with your son…and how VERY COOL that he wants you to spend more time with them! Family is what it’s all about. Will you take pictures of your art and post it so we can see it? I can’t draw a straight line with a ruler….I’d love to see what you do!

You are one busy lady! Well, I’d talk it over with my husband, but there are times when you have to say, “This is what I’m doing. I’d like you to join me, but if not, I understand. I just want you to know that you are still important to me, but I think this is important, too. RYN: It’s not fun. **HUGS**

I think every woman owes it to herself to at least stand up for what they want. Tell hubby what you want and see if a compromise can be worked out. For me I would definitely want to be around my grandchild as much as possible. Sounds like you have a wonderful son. Ask him what he thinks too. Most of all do what you need to do for you. Love,

Phew, what a day!! Yes, you can do what you want to do and it doesn’t mean you are not devoted to your husband. And how sweet that your son wants you to spend more time with them. What a good boy.
