Later...

I couldn't write much before because "stuff" was happening, but all is quiet now.  Sort of.

Meg and the children came back from the Heffelman grandparents' neighborhood with lots of goodies and all wired.  Meg was still wearing her bumble-bee outfit from work.  She came home saying that Grandpa Phil (her former father-in-law) made her cry by hugging her and thanking her for working so hard to make the divorce situation work for the children.  It took me back to a day, many years ago, when my father-in-law thanked me for taking such good care of his grandchildren (my step-kids) and making it easy for us all to be together.  I can remember wishing that I had heard it from their father (my then-husband) but I was gratified knowing that someone had noticed how hard I worked at trying to make a good situation for everyone.  Except for the fact that the children no longer live with both parents, nothing else has changed...but it does take all of us to make it all work.  The Heffelman grandparents are on call (since they are retired) in case one of the children gets sick.  The rest of us try to keep all of the bases covered.  It's a huge job!

The Colts play the Patriots this Sunday evening.  I don't know if I can stand to watch!  In the meantime, I am trying to plan for my radio club's Christmas dinner/meeting.  It will be my last stroke as President.  I am bowing out, graciously.  I will not seek, nor will I accept any position as officer for next year.  I need a break!

Need to go get my bath so the doctor won't be grossed out tomorrow morning.  I will probably meet Meg for lunch after the appointment, then stop at the Girl Scout place to get some GS stuff for our little Daisy Girl Scout.  Then home for a nap.  If I don't get a nap, I'm going to be really ticked!

Ciao~
