[QUOTE="Lil, post: 641906, member: 17309"] Oh we're not going to let our kid break us up...but we did have to have a little talk. The fact is, I thought we'd already decided that one day he was going to come over and hang out and watch TV and such and it never even occurred to me to ask about it, because I thought it was decided! But, apparently Jabber wasn't quite as decided as I was. :ambivalence: Actually, we didn't see him Sunday. Jabber was pretty determined on that and I hadn't been 100% certain with the kid...I'd told him I thought it would probably be fine, but we've been swamped so we'd have to let him know. So Sunday morning I texted him and told him we just had too much to do. Not a lie. We were at church until 2:00, then at the cell phone store for an hour (for nothing) then groceries. Got 1/2 hour of sitting before I had to get started on Christmas gifts I was making and we had housework and laundry and on and on. It was a terribly long weekend and I'm almost glad to be at work! Son did call about 8 at night wanting to know if we wanted to go get a Blizzard from Dairy Queen (our treat of course :rolleyes:) but we told him no. We ARE still planning on dinner and a movie either next Saturday or Sunday. He called today and told me he got a job! So I guess we can turn that into a celebration dinner. :encouragement: Thank you Cedar...and all of you for your encouraging words. Lil [/QUOTE]
