G4E, good luck with dd and dgd moving in. That can be rough because by now, you are all set in your own ways and have your own routines. Merging the two can be tough. Sending hugs your way.

Beth, good luck on your fill today.

SMS, I am so jealous of you. I am in Florida too, but no where near bikini ready yet. Hopefully by Christmas 2009 I will be though, and then maybe I will join you on the beach!!

Thank you Beth, CC and Susan. I will definitely need them! I found out a little while ago that she is going to start moving in today after work instead of tomorrow when she is off. She wants to call the police and have them there when she gets her stuff tomorrow. That way he won't pull any crap. He has a warrant out for him, I don't know why they don't just go ahead and pick him up! All the police around here knows where he lives. But then on the flip side maybe this is God's way of getting my DD and me closer. I am very close to my other 2 DD's. Just not as close to her. Then maybe I will be a better influence on her than when she was a child. I can't undo things from the past but I can help her understand more. She sees more having her own DD and a jerk for the worse half. I think that is how I am going to look at it. God and his mysterious ways.

g4e, first of all ALL children I have been around behave totally different when parents show up! I ran a full fledged daycare for 20 years, and it is common!

I just went through what you are not long ago. When my DD first left her husband she and my year old granddaughter moved in with us. So I had a baby in the house 24/7 after all those years!! She stayed that time for 3 months, while we remodelled a place she bought. Well fast forward 2.5 years and some scary health issues for her, and she decided to reconcile with her ex. That lasted only a few months. 2 weeks ago, she tells me that she and my now 4 year old DGD are moving out again. This time tho, she only stayed a couple of nights, while waiting for utilities to be turned on in her new place.

When my son moved back to this area, he, his wife, and infant son stayed with us for about 3 weeks. Now THAT was difficult!!!! He was off at work, and I am left with a young woman I am barely learning and unsure about how or whether to offer advice....was stressful, but loved having the baby here!!!! In the end, she was VERY easy going, my DIL---but you can TELL your own kids things that you don't when it is their spouse!!! I could TELL him to pick up the dirty dishes, or to take poopy diapers directly to the outside trash--------but with the DIL, I was less sure, and not wanting to come across as the bitchy MIL!!!

Good Luck!!!!

Susan--tell us a bit about your 16 yo. What does she like to do? How many kids? girls only? boys and girls? Time line? Expense?

Well off to take the aforementioned DIL and DGS to Taco Bell----will the fun never end??? Or the eat fest???? I actually do ok there.......which is wierd!

GGGrrrrrr....can't find the Christmas pics of the family I uploaded on my puter. Went to put them on the site and only have 2 older ones from right before Thanksgiving. This is DD and DGD that is moving in.

Thank you Kat. It sounds like you have had an open door also! LOL. My middle DD and her whole family, hubby and kids have all lived here several times over the yrs. My youngest DD and her hubby got married and didn't leave until June of this yr. The reason they stayed is because she has severe meniere's disease and can't work. They where afraid to leave in case she would have a seizure. They finally got over being afraid. Her hubby can leave work early if need be or I go over If she needs me.

I had my own day care 20 yrs ago and I am a sub. teacher. But I still have trouble wrapping my brain around the way kids act when their parents show up. Shoot I was to afraid of acting out when I was a kid. Not only would the persons whose home I was at would paddle me, but I would get it twice as hard at home.

sorry so long I'm just getting a little nevous.:tongue2:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
