Let me sing the blues


Today, I cried....It didn't help that Paul went back to work since it is Tuesday, Oma went home on Sunday, and Sammie is particularly clingy.
Sammie saw me searching for a sad face and said,

"Mommy, can you put a sad face for me too?"

I guess she is a little sad also.


Yesterday, we went up to Burlington, where they have a lot of outlet stores. Great prices. Paul even found some pajama pants for a buck!! So we didn't have to spend a lot to get Sammie a number of night gowns, some little sweats and a pair of shorts for me (Paul picked them out, so that means they are not appropriate for wearing outside the house ;) and a couple of work shirts for Paul. Then back home again because Paul was ready to crash...I was too by the time we started on the road.

So what am I going to do now? I guess do some clean-up. What fun. You can probably feel my sarcasm.

Jennifer, I can really tell that you are missing Oma. It is so evident. It was fun though, right, having her there?? Just remember how nice and easy it is to have her visit you all and to know that she will be there again in a few short weeks for support.

I sometimes feel down like that knowing that we (Ron and I) haven't even been down to see your new place of residence yet, and Oma has seen it a dozen times.

Maybe one day.

Like Oma said to me yesterday, the boys are very different from each other and they have a difficult time getting along. I realize that but I think that there is very little in life that is more important than family and I think that the effort it takes to "get along" is far more important than not trying.

I am sorry you feel so lost after having Paul go to work.
I am sorry you actually have to make your own salads (haha).
It is to bad that we always at one point have to say goodbye. But it is never forever. (that rhymes).
We will always see each other again.
Lets be thankful that the Lord made it possible for me to come. That I was healthy enough.
I love you so very much, you just take care of my son and my granddaughter and her toys.
MOM:)

.....now you know how I felt when mom went on holidays, and how glad I was to pick her up from the airport. I am glad Mom was able to make this trip and enjoy the family down south, I feel it was the right thing to do. So there..........

Tell Paul that there is good news...

They are making a MAXWELL SMART movie! And they've casted "Steve Carell" in the roll. (He's the guy currently staring in "the 40-yearold Virgin")

I think he's PERFECT for that role! How fun!

Lynne,

Thanks for the comfort. Maybe you all can come down sometime. Probably the best thing to do is finish the top floor of the guest house so you will have more room.
We could probably manage it in the house but it might be tight.

Yvonne,
I wonder what Paul will say...he boycotted the remake of Star Wars. Maybe he will embrace this one.
