iChat is going to be cool if I can get it to work. I have a friend of forty years and we tried it today but eh.. we could see each other's face. I could hear him but he couldn't hear me. I made some adjustments after he signed off so maybe next time it'll work!!
My step son, generally simply referred to as my son... gave us a gift card to a favorite restaurant for Christmas. So we took him and his fiance out to dinner with it tonight. She's nice enough but there is something wrong.. not sure. Finally my husband said it's that... 'nobody's good enough for your son' thing. I think he's right too. Ya know, I would have stopped at one child if I'd known about all this fiances, wives, grand children thing and that you still worry.
I guess we have to do the groom dinner thing for his wedding. I told my husband I was rather ambivalent about this because actually we don't have the money. Because four other kids have been told we don't pay for this. We didn't do this for our own wedding. And because I'm not a very sociable type among a group of people I don't even know. And because when you live together.. as far as I'm concerned it's kindof too late for the big wedding thing. Just do the justice of the peace thing and you are just as married with the benefit of money saved that could go toward the purchase of a house!!
I forgot to add this as we were in the middle of trying to get ready for Christmas. My husband, the Kiddo and I were driving somewhere... she said, Dustin broke her mothers make up. She was scared but her mother didn't die this time. Does a child just make this up??
I was looking forward to her spending the night tomorrow. My son's landlord invited him to a party. He asked if I would mind babysitting but really feels as if we do alot already for him. It is his weekend with the Kiddo. The mother had plans and couldn't take her. But those plans fell through so now she is taking her. As my son said, her friends are more important than her daughter. I think the difference is.. she's with him all week and two or more weekends a month. We all would have expected her to do as he would have done and jump on the chance to spend time with her daughter, the little girl that doesn't live with her.
Guess, since he had to get new tires and brakes and is trying to get his car to pass safety and emissions inspection to renew his registration, he's broke. He asked the mother to bring food for the kiddo. The mother doesn't have money for food BUT.. had money to go out with her friends if it hadn't fallen through???
My husband overheard this conversation so he gave him some ham, beans and rice and some quick cooking food.. chicken pot pies, Chef Boyardie..
