He's on his way......

I'm not a grandmom yet, but I wouldn't care in what condition my grandchildren came to me - I'd see them with my heart. And smells and looks are not the first thing I'd notice. Keep us updated. And good thoughts from far away. My husband was raised in Idaho. It's a great state.

Dancerat - you're 100% right. My father is honestly thrilled he's there and has not said one negative word. They are having a wonderful 1st day together and difficult child loves the one on one my father can provide him. And please understand - when I talk about difficult child's looks right now it's not out of meanness or shallowness or judgement. I look at it more as my failure as a mother so I take it very personally when anyone criticizes him.

OMG - I just have to say I slept like a brick last night. My easy child had to knock on my bedroom door at 6:20 to wake me bc the alarm was going off and I didn't hear it. That NEVER happens! Wow! Knowing that difficult child is safe with my dad is definitely bringing me some peace. The two of them seem like they're peas in a pod and they're having a great time together so far. My dad has a dog and difficult child loves animals so he's really happy about that. I know it's only been one day but I have a feeling that this just might work out!

Oh trust me, I'm a mother who values personal cleanliness and hygiene. It distresses me when my son looks like Abraham Lincoln and says he's looking for a job, but people have to live and learn on their own. I've always bought that Axe stuff for my son and he's used it. I'm hip. I'm with it.
