Debi--what a fun look. I bet you had a lot fun creating it. And I love your bracelets, they are gorgeous.
Lou--I can't believe your friend would act like that and let it come between you guys. But I guess if that's how she is perhaps you're better off without her around. I really just don't get the thing about being selfish for not wanting kids. When my aunt said that about my sister I remember thinking--how is that selfish? wouldn't it be more selfish to have a child and not really be the mothering type or want to devote everything that comes with being a parent, isn't that selfish? I think I always knew I wanted a couple of kids and figured my sister did as well. I guess I was around 14 or 15 when they decided and told the family but I just didn't think it was a big deal, ah that's the big news? Kind of funny but I had never heard of anyone choosing not to have kids at that point in my life, guess that's weird. I was too busy with sports and thinking about boys that I didn't pay much attention to what the "adults" did
Seriously though where do these people get the idea they have the right to blast others for what they choose to do in life.
When my husband and I got married I already had my son from my first marriage who was four then. My hubby had not been married before. Since he came into a ready made family we figure we'll have our alone time once they are both out on their own. There's almost six years between my kids. If I'd had a normal marriage I would have wanted them to be closer together like maybe tow or three yrs apart, but you deal with what life hands you. Don't know when that'll be as my daughter is taking a while to get through college. But I'm glad she is sticking with it. She just can't take a bunch of classes each semester like some with her learning disability, so really about 4 classes (12 hours) is all she can handle without totally stressing out and having a melt down.
Jenn--nice to see you peek in on us. Good luck with all your work. You are wearing me out just reading about all you are doing. How long is your break? My daughter is on spring break this week. She didn't go anywhere just hanging out with some friends and relaxing. Although one of her friends had a party Sat. night and I think she got pretty smashed. This would probably shock my family well my husband's famile even more so
She never did that stuff in high school thank goodness, my son--well that's a whole different story. She's 22 now so all is well as long as she doesn't drive or ride with anyone drinking. Her friends usually get together at the house or apartment that one of them lives in and everyone just crashes there for the night so no one is out driving. That's so much easier on us parents
She did say that she had purple vodka Sat night.
