[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631894, member: 17542"] Pas, I'm so glad you had a good visit with your son this weekend. I did too. Who would ever have thought we could sit and laugh and be relaxed, in these circumstances? I think it is mainly about us and our changed attitudes. Perhaps it's a vibe in the air---we're more relaxed and not judging so much and so they are more relaxed. Who knows? A funny story from difficult child's birthday dinner: We were talking about something, all of us, and difficult child said, well Mom be glad you don't look your age. And I said, wow, I don't? That's good to hear. And he said, well my friends yesterday (the ones I sat with at the McDonald's outside) said they think you are hot. I said, WHAT? Say that again (laughter). He said, they thought you were hot Mom. I said, Wow, that is awesome! I haven't been called hot in a long long time, if ever. And easy child said, Yeah, Mom, you're really something: a bunch of homeless guys think you're hot. And we all burst out laughing. So...who would have thought we could sit and laugh about something like that. It was a great moment and today I smiled at the memory again. Like you said, Pas, we gotta take the good times when they come and savor them. I am glad for the laughter. And hey, they think I'm hot. :wink-very: [/QUOTE]
