So much.<br /><br />Mel- God. Every time I think about Owen looking at me and saying, "Jesus," I crack up.<br /><br />Nancy- You are such a love. Thanks. <br /><br />Angella- One of the best things about being a grandmother is the way I have the time to actually observe and record these boys as they grow. It's so amazing to me.<br /><br />Mr. Shife- We do share certain sensibilities, you and I, even though on the surface we appear to be so different. <br />Thanks.<br /><br />Ms. Fleur- Thanks, honey.<br /><br />Syd- You have an affinity for that Gibson's smile, don't you? I'm glad.<br /><br />A- I don't know. You should see the dust around here. <br /><br />Rubye Jack- It DOES help. I swear it does. So thank you.<br /><br />Steve-I haven't walked in a week! See? Slatternly! I wish I had a video of Owen saying that to me. He was completely appropriate with it. <br /><br />Jo- Me too, honey.<br /><br />Bugerlugs- You're right- that mule does look a bit like a pinata! I'm glad you visit here too. I really am.<br /><br />Heartinhand- We're all so busy. And I must admit I do spend a little more time watching Rolling Stones videos than I should. <br />Whatever gets you through the night.

(I'm here from insomnia now so...)<br /><br />My FIL had dementia. It was the hardest thing to watch him waste away and not be the man we all knew him to be. <br /><br />Do what makes you happy. If it means watching Stones videos til your eyes bug out, do it. Anxiety is an old friend of mine. Rolling around with babies and chickens will help keep it at bay.

A paper donkey full of candy? they are much more popular in USA than here.<br />I'm ten days away from 50 and I swear I just woke up this morning with whiskery jowls that weren't there yesterday . . .

You're cleaning and walking and doing all kinds of stuff all the time -- not to mention managing family medical crises. Slatternly, you're not. You're just yearning for more control, and that's one thing NONE of us have. Right?<br /><br />I'm laughing at the image of Owen turning to you and saying, "Jesus." I can totally picture that, even having never met either of you!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-54845342591704649422013-01-11T02:20:56.459-05:002013-01-11T02:20:56.459-05:00I've actually been keeping up with you Mary bu...I've actually been keeping up with you Mary but since I didn't pay the cable bill, I'be no computer and only my phone and commenting is hard via my little phone.<br />Anyway, it sounds like your mother is better but I know it's hard for you. I certainly understand the anxiety as it has always been my cross to bear also. It sucks and I know no way around it except <br />Sometimes it helps me to know others understand and so I am here to say I understand this sort of pain.

I don't know if it is because we are sharing similar experiences with little people running our life but every so often I just come to your blog and feel so connected to you. Plus I totally get the music thing. I recently fell in love with a band called "The Gaslight Anthem" and I can't imagine my life without them. Music is an awesome thing. Take care.
