Why Austin will never give me grandkids…
I had started crocheting a baby blanket for my soon-to-be grand-baby. (from Katey)
Austin laughs and says “Geez Mom, you’re in full-on Granny mode!” (my Mom is constantly knitting, sewing, etc)
I respond with a sigh, “Maybe I’ll have it done by the time you have a baby.” (as of this writing the baby better be extremely skinny)
To which he adamantly replies “I’m never having kids!”
And I say “Well… when your wife has a baby.”
Austin – “No way, Mom! I’m not ever having kids!”
Me – “Why not?” (and I was asking seriously)
Without so much as a word he rolls his eyes and then looks at me and then looks at the twins… “They’re why!!”
Of course… that should have been obvious, right?! LOL

Later that day while trying to relax and have a snack two mini-people (who had already eaten their dinner) attacked from both sides ‘meowing’ until I fed them. I don’t believe that I have ever spoon fed the cat so I’m not sure why they thought that was a good idea.. but I suppose it resulted in them getting fed so I guess I’m the dope!

Hey there!
!!OLD!!
So I had to scold my 14-year old today and “force” him to wear shorts and a t-shirt instead of his usual 16 layers of dark heavy clothes today because we are under a heat advisory.
He was worried that he might not be able to go to the Boys & Girls club because I said that they [the people running it] were just a bunch of kids who might not want to deal with heat casualties.
He pipes back… “No they’re not, Tim is old… he’s like 25, Mom.”
So there you go… I officially know no young people anymore… you’ve all been deemed OLD!

Doh! & *Wink*
Happy Yule! Merry Christmas! Welcome New Year!
Happy Holidays and a Shiny New Year filled with lots of love and good cheer!

This time of year it always seems we notice those missing from our lives a little bit more. It seems harder to get on with the days without them here. Hold your family close at the holidays and everyday… you just don’t know what’s around the corner. So for all those faces & voices & hugs & kisses that will be missed at the table this Christmas – I still hold you all in my heart and miss you dearly.
