Thanks for the reply! Guess what I did today? I called my mil! I was a little scared , but I did it anyway. ( silly me). I asked her how she was doing and I also told her about our 2 kids making the "Student of the Month" and to let her know their picture will be published in the newspaper. We had a good conversation! She was glad I called and thanked me for telling her about the kids. She even asked if the kids could come down to her home and help her decorate for Halloween. YES!! I am all excited for them and her!! I told her yes they can to just let me know what day she will be doing it , that they would love to help. She even spoke to my youngest child on the phone. She asked my child if there was anything she wanted to tell her, and of course comming from a 5 y/o she said , " yes, I love you". lol! Mil was wanting her to tell her about the student of the month but instead my daughter says I love you. She congratulated her and also told me to tell my son the same( he wasnt at home). She asked about my health. ( I have previously been to the Dr. for headaches and have severe sinusitis). Other than that, I believe I let my imagination run wild again when I was thinking the worst. ( and yes, I am gonna stop that too). I am gald I called. I think she might be glad I called too.

 

The kids are super ready for Halloween. They want to go and pick out costumes. I am super ready for Christmas. I cant wait! I know I jump ahead of time, but I cant help it. I love toys. I am more ready for Christmas than I am Halloween. I guess I better slow down some and think about Halloween first, then Thanksgiving. But Christmas is my favorite!

 

I think the next time I feel like we might be being avoided, I am just gonna pick up the phone and call mil. It made me feel better. Thanks for your kind words Harobe. I know you are looking out for my best interest, that is why I always post to you or a n other.  You two know more about my situation and have good advice to offer.  ( not leaving you out jaimie, you give good advice too)! I am gald I can come here and find you on here. Reading your post to other people about how you have managed things yourself, lets me know what kind of person you are. You are a good person Harobe, and I am learning from the best! Thank you for being here for me and thank you for all your words of wisdom!

 

Wow  -  you called your MIL!?!  You're doing so well for yourself, you really are.  I think you're correct in that she was as pleased to talk with you as you were her.  So cute about your little girl!  And I'm sure MIL is looking forward to decorating with the two of them.  You will have no peace from now until Halloween  -  between their excitement over costumes and decorating!  LOL.  I'm just so pleased for all of you.  Your MIL is fortunate  -  she really does have a sweetheart for a DIL and I so appreciate you sharing the progress between the two of you.  And thank you for your kind words also J  -  my MIL would beg to differ with you! LOL        Hugs
