One of my biggest regrets is that we did not have family nearby when my kids were growing up, but you can't have everything can you. I also get the "protecting a child" dream quite often - more often when I was still married but even so, they pop up now and then. It's always my youngest that I'm protecting and he's always a toddler, despite the fact that he's now 28 and about to be a dad himself! I also wonder if I always thought he was the more fragile of the two kids because now living with son no. 1 (the hypochondriac) I have my doubts. And you had me roaring about the threat of having to wear a bra in your nursing home!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-80941019913744360032021-02-10T11:59:59.431-05:002021-02-10T11:59:59.431-05:00My 5 kids (4 boys and 1 girl) loved the My Little ...My 5 kids (4 boys and 1 girl) loved the My Little Ponies and we still have a bin of them in my basement.

I see Ellen already spoke up, but I thought the same thing -- if you DID go to Houston you could visit her! But I understand not wanting to undertake that ordeal. Dave occasionally buys weird things too (although nothing as big as a car, admittedly) and I try to remind myself to let him do his thing.

He finally admitted it would never happen. He does have three other vehicles (T-bird, Mustang, F250...all in good order). And this does not include my car. We only have four garage bays and I won't give up mine. Did I mention that when we went house hunting (decades ago now) his first priority was finding the right garage(s)? Didn't care about the house. It was all about the garages. Yep, that's a car guy.
