[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 394733, member: 3419"] It went VERY well! Bmom, 1/2 bro and bgrandma were EARLY and chatting with-easy child when we arrived. difficult child was in a foul mood, circles under his eyes, wouldn't get out of the car, didn't like the fact I'd gotten a huge balloon and tied it to a chair. I'd forgotten to give him his clonidine, and husband drove up (everyone came from diff directions) so husband took over and I zoomed home to get the medication. Gave it to difficult child discretely under the table. 35 min later, he was smiling. Although, to be honest, that's when the edamame showed up and I realized how low his blood sugar was. Two other friends of ours showed up, and I brought my 82-yr-old cousin, P, who still refuses to wear her new teeth, so she gummed a cpl of peas and a bit of rice and drank a glass of wine. She gave difficult child some awesome shoes from a sports store and he actually put them on to wear home!!! I had primed her by saying, "No matter what you give him, he's going to hate it." So then he goes and wears the shoes -- she was so happy! Bmom and family gave him $140 CASH !!! and a Redskins wallet. Our friends gave him a B&N gift card and huge coffee table books on the NFL and NBL. It was so interesting listening to bgrandmother, now that I've decided she's Aspie. The min you say something, she comes back with-info she's read somewhere and rifles it at you. It all makes sense now. For example, she and bmom commented that difficult child looked tired. I said, "Yes, he gets up in the middle of the night to eat and play video games." Bgrandma went into this discourse on how lack of sleep can cause cancer, etc. and I just smiled and said, "You and I might know that but he won't listen to a word." Everyone hugged everyone goodbye (1/2 bro is now 6 ft tall and so sweet and polite and volunteered to hug people ... sheesh). No one brought up the subject of whether he knew what the heck he was doing there since bgrandma told me he supposedly doesn't know he's related to difficult child. Whew. Now, for thank you notes and another year to ourselves ... :winnersmiley: [/QUOTE]
