Good morning all, Congratulations Catsmom, welcome to the Grandma club! Best club in the world to join! Even tho I have to deal with Chrissy's separation anxiety sometimes and I don't know how to help her. Her son is my first grandchild and we have special bond. Aidan is a very happy child and I think he is doing well living with his father and step-mother. They live in Sac, so I get to see him as much as I can. I thank God I have a good relationship with his father.

Good morning everyone.
Jean hope you get the job.
my2navygirls, HooYah to our new Sailor.
So I got a text from Crystal yesterday, she was in medical, said she thought she was going to die, she had a deli sandwich in mess, and was so sick, throwing up ect. Then I get a phone call from her later saying not food posing your going to be a grandma. She said I am in shock..LOL So I will now be in the grandma club. I am excited, told her so. I also told her that I am worried because of the POS husband of hers is so self centered.

Today is nice and sunny. Makes the cold much easier to deal with. Got up at my usual time and don't feel as worn down. Walked to the beach and explored a cove. Still cool but as long as it's sunny I don't mind!!!
Blondie,
Keeping your girl in my prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.
Jean,
Praying for good news for the job!!! It sounds like it would be a good fit for you and you deserve something you can depend on. As long as it gives you time to come on here every morning so we get to hear from you every morning!!!!
Catsmom,
Glad you made it back home safely. Such a sweet message to you from your girl last night!!!! Now you get to start planning for the next visit!!!
Vickyrun,
Short countdown time for you!! I hope you have a wonderful time at the family party. I know you said earlier that your ex will be there also but I hope it doesn't affect your time or fun at all. Don't let anyone or anything get in the way of you enjoying your visit!!!!! Prayers and hugs for you and your girls.
