Just so long as you don't rat me out to my English students, we're all good! Hearing about you and Robin in our capital has me ashamed, once again, that I've never once been to D.C.. I know! Just terrible. I'm going to get there one day soon, and maybe you can add me to your list of real folks from the forum you've met. zapped was one of my first friends here, so it's cool that you got to meet him. We disagree about some political stuff, but (other than that) I'm a fan.
...sloooow and interrupting, again...

I'm totally bummed also
Yes we do make this trip every year and will plan to get together as soon as I find out when we will be going next year. We usually plan it a few months in advance and coordinate with his son visiting her so we can see both kids at the same time.
). So, your hubby has family in VA, thus the yearly visits, Robin?
Becky congrats on the 43,000
Yeah, I know you don't live in D.C., but that IS the next trip I plan to make, so I'd be close enough. I DID think (for no reason) that you and Robin were hoping to meet there (I sometimes create such fictions
His daughter is a teacher in Virginia and his son is an animator in Portland. Once a year we create general mayhem in his daughter's 2nd grade class.
My kids live in Michigan. Our kids all love each other and get along fantastically. In fact we did FaceTime with my son and family just tonight.
Hey Bronze, 2 weeks must be a minimum for DF.. At 9 days I was wondering what all the hype was about.. 15 days.. oh yeah..
I vaped it til I liked it!
It really doesn't matter if it's by blood or by luck... loving a child and helping to raise them...that is family.
that's because it doesn't exist. Vapn, which juice did you mean? Bridget wants to help you but she needs to know which one you're asking about.
That-a-girl! Pure rapture, huh?
Hey Bronze...I'm pretty sure there is a little girl next door that will be more than happy to take care of you both when you get older
She just won three blue ribbons and a bunch of other ribbons in her first horseback riding competition.Well where to start...grandma is pooped but has a huge smile on her face
When our son married we also got the bonus of a six year old boy..Jack. His father and his parents are active in his life and very good to him...although his father has been very nasty to my DIL. She deserves a medal...never speaks poorly of her son's father and I've seen her almost bite through her teeth. When he first joined our family he called us Joe & Tammy...but it wasn't long until the Grandpa & Grandma came easily. He calls our son Andrew...but when he's telling me about his activities he say things like my dad ...well my real dad not Andrew..so I know he loves our son like a father. Had so much fun with Ella this weekend I wouldn't even know where to begin sharing...and we had a chance to see one of Jack's flag football games this afternoon when we took her back (Jack was with his dad this weekend else we would have had him as well)
RJ you just take care of yourself and your son... seriously you are a wonderful mother. I wish we lived closer to each other as I get the feeling we'd enjoy a nice cold beer or glass of wine of the deck from time to time
) but I'm a boring hermit who works, goes home, takes care of things, and starts all over the next day. I don't even have to venture out in the world for people to screw with me though. I am also one of the parents who have put up with a lot of stuff from my ex and his family but kept on trucking. I always had to look at what was best for my son. I would be so neutral and downright supportive of their relationship, when some saw it as bending over. But when it's your kid, you really want the best for them. Even when it's hard on you. When I think back, man!...I gave my ex plenty of chances even when I shouldn't. You have to love your child more than you dislike your ex. But I'm getting hardened I think to this world...which is something I said I would never do. But, this is about safety for my son and that makes it easy. I haven't seen a dime of child support in years and won't ever. I let that go...can't squeeze blood out of a rock.
