You know your grown child is home for the holidays when....

[Guest guest]

My daughter (29) left for home this morning. This time she stayed

with me instead of her dad. Brought a blow up bed and I moved

everything in the living room so she had a place to put it.

I did notice something. There was an explosion of dirty dishes in

the sink and on the counter top when she left ;-). I know I hinted a

couple of days ago that I now wash dishes as I go , so there is

rarely dirty dishes sitting around. Sometimes a coffee mug maybe. She

didn't take the hint to clean up after herself. Oh , well , I have my

home to myself again.

I told her thurs night that I got up at 4:45 and would leave the

house by 6 am for work. I have to go through the living room to do

that. Had my breakfast in the dining room which is an L leg off the

living room. Turned off the lights to leave for work. And couldn't

get out the front door. She had locked the dead bolt when she came in

the night before. I hadn't done that since I hurt my back . Right now

I don't have a key for the deadbolt. One of the things that I need to

change out for a new one. Anyway , I am feeling around in the total

darkness trying to find the lock so I can unlock the door. When I

finally realize WHY I can't open the door.

Oh brother....thought it would get BETTER, Debbie.My 20 yr old is home, and will leave on Jan 6 to headback for college, but is not her usual helpful self. She hasentered this world of me, me and more me! She sleepslong hours--often up by after noon, and in bed sometimeafter 1 or 2 am. Texting and phoning friends makes mefeel as if she isn't really here... oy vey... Such is life Isuppose. Hopefully just phases for our kids...we'll see,time will tell. love to you, Kate You know your grown child is home for the holidays when....To: MSersLife > My daughter (29) left for home this morning.
