You finally told me when you’re coming. 5 hours notice is better than nothing, at least. Now to bite my tongue and not say anything…

Just walking in the door unannounced after 3 months, made your mom’s day. Well done!!

Safe flight home.

I built two fence panels over seven feet apart and at different elevations never dreaming they’d line up in a way they could be connected with a 4" steel grid. For the two panels to line up to within an eighth of an inch both vertically and horizontally is serendipitous beyond imagination. So happy!

My favorite son said I was his favorite mom. (Fortunately for both of us, there are no other contenders) :heart:

I wish all mothers could feel love and peace on this day. For those who cannot, for whatever reason, let us send our collective vibes of comfort into the universe in the hope that those who need it will feel it.

Miss you Mom!!! :heart:

Thank you for being such a model of not the perfect mom, but the mom who would do anything for her family and who didn’t need the fuss of a special day for us to know that you loved your role. I feel the same, best job I ever had, every day of the year - even when it’s not the most perfect day. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Doing a lot of reflecting today in my head. One of the coolest neighbors ever - just the best vibe - died yesterday after several very hard years of health. Younger than me. Full of personality. Mother of two adopted children who today experience their first day without their mother on a day to celebrate her.

She always hung a peace sign on her door. I always loved that about her. I also love a simple :peace_symbol: sign. For sure, from now on, I will think of you when I see one.

May the first person to greet her at the gates be her mom who I know she missed very much.

Peace, neighbor. :v: :two_hearts:

You didn’t learn that type of parenting from us. I wish you would read at least one book on child development and get some understanding of what are reasonable expectations and how to deal with your child more effectively. I cannot believe you spanked her, there was no call for that.

To be fair, you were lovely when you were here - helpful and talkative. And I was blown away that you and your brother bought me gifts that you brought back from Poland! Vodka, chocolate, and earrings! :slight_smile: I guess I just have to get used to your lack of communication. Even your brother said he has a hard time getting you to respond.

I really wish my friends would stop getting horribly aggressive illnesses and/or breaking bones and/or dying. Two today! :frowning:

Seriously, all I had to do was plug the cord into the other jack? I spent way too long trying to figure out what was wrong. Thank you, random guy on the internet who posted how you fixed the issue!

I’m just going to say it: I hate UC Scout. I understand that other people’s children clearly have the self-discipline to do their courses that have no due dates until the end of the semester. But after two courses with them, I can genuinely state that my child does not. There are too many other courses/activities vying for her attention, so her UC Scout class gets kicked to the curb until she has no other option if she doesn’t want to fail. And I hate watching her stress level rise and rise and rise. What kills me is that this kid is hyper-organized and self-disciplined in almost every other area in her life.

And she’s supposed to take AP Gov from them next year. Lord have mercy.

Before you purchase an animal, make sure you have the time, money (both now and in the future) and lifespan to take care of it.

We always knew that something bad was going to happen because of the choices you made in your life. But embezzling $500K from your company for 2 years and pleading guilty and going to federal prison was not what any of us thought would happen. The fact that you knew all of this when you visited our family at the holidays and never said anything is par for the course for your behavior.

Your grandma is so sad for you and my poor brother and SIL are beside themselves. You are 42 years old with a 13 year old child and this is where you have ended up in your life!

You had 18 YEARS to save money for your child’s college education. If you chose to spend your income on better cars, clothes, food, home improvements, or house payments than what you NEEDED and now can’t afford tuition, I have a whole lotta sympathy for your kid and absolutely zero for you. Shame on you.

Your priorities are showing.

Really, a party for a “Pre-K Graduation??” A big banner that says, “CONGRATS, GRAD?” I guess I’m an old curmudgeon, because it seems ridiculous to me.

I think you have honestly lost your mind. There is no way on God’s green earth i am agreeing to this. What in the world are you thinking?
