Well, it's 2 am is all right with the world for the moment

I am up bc I haven't finished everything I needed to do today.  I was a taxi service for my grandson & his mommy, I was a babysitter for my other 3 grandkids that live around here.  I did finish the laundry with help from my dh, bless his heart.  I made it to the beauty shop to get my hair down.  I had her straighten it with the ends flipped under.  Then right before I leave it starts rainy.  Now my hair is bushy.  I'll have to try something tomorrow to see if I can calm it down.  The rain is not & never has been my friend.  I like the rain it just don't like me for some reason.    I took my grandson & his mommy to my son's place in Cape.  Nick gets to have his son over night tonight.  It was really hard for Danielle to do that but  She will have to get used to it sooner or later.....The baby was so happy to be home & to see his daddy.  I know this has to be really hard on him, you know how babies don't like a lot of change when they are little.   Danielle may have found a job so I will be  keeping Elias, too.    She can't wait to start working.  Nick told us today that he is getting a part time job.  I don't know who he is going to work more than he already does.  He works 12 hour nights 6 in a row, then off 1 day & work 12 hour nights 4 in a row then 2 days off.  All he has time for right now is work & sleep.  That was one of their problems.  They were nice to each other tonight so I was happy about that.  I know it's hard for her to let him have the baby over night or even anytime without her  but she did it & handled it very well.  It will be good for her & the baby to be apart sometimes otherwise he will be  like Nick was with me, attached at the hip.  I didn't think we were ever going to be apart.  He does keep coming back home but only cause he has to moneywise.  I am really proud of my son.  I just wish he wouldn't put so much stock into what his dad & his family tells him.  They almost had hm going after full custody.  His aunt said she would pay for his lawyer only if he goes for full custody.  Well, he isn't going to do that but he does want joint costudy which is how it usually is set up.  They are going to a  lawyer & get everthing they agree on in writting & all legal.  I just can't understand why his dad would want to make life harder for Nick by filling his head wih crap that he says I did to him when we divorced.  The man didn't even show up for court.  He told his lawyer to give me whatever I wanted.  I'm a nice person, I didn't take advantage of him not being there. Nick surprised me tonight by filling up my gas tank.  He said it was the least he could do since I brought his baby to him.  I guess I raised him right atleast.

I still have to pack but I had to find a folder with my dh's family history.  His mom gave it to us a few years ago to copy but I misplaced it.  So after searching for it for 2 days, I found it.  So I'lm up copying it.  I am making copies for his brothers too.  I figured since I was doing it I should go ahead & do it for all of them.  My dh wants me to print out some pictures for his parents but I think I will do that in the morning so he can tell me which ones he wants.   I'm kind of nervous about going to my inlaws.  I don't really know why.  I've been to several family dinners before, I know all of them & I like all of them.  I'm just strange, I guess.  Maybe it's more that I'm nervous leaving my kids on their own for Thanksgiving.  They keep telling me it's just another day.  I guess that's how they are coping without my mom this year. 

My dh is so wonderful.  Vicki has been bringing Chris over in the moring without changing his diaper & he is soaked through by the time he gets here.   I've told her to stop but then she started telling she changed him at 2 or 3 & he don't need changed again yet.  WRONG.....Well her dad was here the other morning & so he made her stay long enough to change him.  Then he took his bottle to put more milk in it & the milk she had brought him had spoiled.  The bottle didn't look like it had be watched in a couple of weeks.  So he had a chat with her when she came to pick him up.  I get upset when he confronts the kids or when I have to conftont them, they should know better & Vicki tends to start screaming when she is called down on something.  So he told me to go into the other room.  So I decided to take my shower then I wouldn't hear anything.  It just makes him made with the kids take advantage of me like that.  I have never had anyone stand up for me before, so he is my hero. 

Well, I've got to get some sleep.  I still have to pack.  I hope I don't forget anything.  My dh bought me a new outfit to wear.  None of my clothes fit me right anymore.  I'm between sizes.  I have fat clothes, large clothes, & my regular size clothes at the size I should be wearing.  Well my fat clothes are too big, my pants keep sliding down my butt.  But my large clothes are still to small by an inch or 2.  So I hope I don't stay this size for long.  I don't want to buy another size wardrobe. 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, I hope you enjoy your time with  you loved ones.  Good eats ladies!
