Phew! I finally have a few minutes to breathe! I've been working lots of hours this week and I spent the day yesterday with my daughter and her family. My son-in-law is the best--he had me in stitches all day. I think it was a total of three times that I laughed so hard I cried. And my grandson is just the cutest!
It seems like every time we get together, something crazy (or stupid--I admit it!) happens and I'm sure my son-in-law is storing up these incidents for when guys get together and talk about their in-laws. This time, I ran out of gas (luckily in front of their house--I hate, hate, HATE pumping gas and I always leave it til the last minute) and he had to ride his bike to the gas station to fill up my gas can (I may be an airhead, but I am prepared to some extent). Anyway, a fun day....
Today we went to my daughter's grandmother's house. I didn't get to see them last year, so it was nice to catch up on what's been happening. I had a nice time--which has me a little...unsettled. I'm remembering what I saw in my daughter's dad and I'm having to consciously remind myself of why we are so totally unsuitable for each other. Weird....
Derek ran around like a little house ape and was too adorable for words. And it was just hysterical how he was scared of his great-grandmother's little pug. He doesn't mind my big dog, but he ran away screaming from a dog smaller than most cats. I love him so much. Hee! He loves my dog more than me--whenever I come in the apartment, "Puppy! Puppy". He's so crestfallen when it's just me, without Moe. I figure he'll warm to me eventually.
Well, I've got to go to bed--I have to be at work at 7:00 a.m. We're going to try to get eight hours worth of work done in five so we can have most of Christmas off. Did I say that I fall in love with a new kitty every time I go to work? I suppose it's a good thing I can't take them home with me--I'd have a couple of dozen by now....
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone, and God Bless!!!
