Thursday Thoughts ...

Wow, again ... it's been a while. There hadn't been a lot going on lately ... and then there's this week, LOL .. .

After a long delay and many times having to refile ... I finally have my Pell Grant acceptance in hand! Yay!! I was beginning to worry I'd not qualify in time for classes to start on September 3. Whew!!

But now I'm going to have to take only night and weekend courses. I'm *hoping* to be hired for a day job starting after Labor Day. Won't give too many details about that just yet ... I'm so not wanting to jinx this!!

And of course, I'm still doing Elsie's Attic. Mostly catalog sales at this point ... I'll keep you posted on that, too.

Kids are doing good.

Single Son swore he saw something dripping from under my car last week. He took it to a friend of his, a mechanic friend. Comes home to tell me "well, Mom. I have good news and bad news. The good news is there is no leak. The bad news is you're missing the avatron on the passenger side." "What the hell is an avatron?" "It's part of the suspension system, Mom. It stabilizes you when you're banking right when you land." "WTF are you talking about ... when I land" ... Seems his friend is an airplane mechanic. This was son's attempt at practical joking. Grrrrrrrr.

I wonder if I'd get in trouble for smacking the hell out of a cop? He says I would. The Police Chief says the "Mom rule" applies ... there's no assault on an officer IF you gave birth to him (or her).

Married Son, DIL and Grandson are doing well. Grandson as usual is a hoot. He and I were playing a game on facebook today, called Yoville. DIL was calling for him from down in the kitchen. "Don't you hear your mommy calling you, honey" I asked. "No, I don't hear her. I can't hear her when I'm playing games, Gramma". Too funny!!! Oh ... and my Yoville friends ... Grandson went around to all my friends apartments and kissed each and every one of you!! It wasn't me, really!!

Haven't heard from Alien. Not since her last call a few weeks back when she wanted something. Gee, that's the only time she calls - is when she needs or wants something. Well ... we got into it again ... why I won't accept that loser, or allow him in my home ... and I told her why. For the millionth time I told her. So again she told me that if I can't accept him and welcome him with open arms, she won't be around.

I just pray she gets smart and soon. Riiiight, we're talking about an Alien here. Getting smart and soon just isn't gonna happen. This is gonna take time for her to see that this 17 time loser is no good for her or that baby. Please pray with me that she and my new grandchild don't get hurt in the process.

So ... that's it in a nutshell.

Maybe once school starts (and if I get that mystery job I briefly mentioned) my blog entries will be a little more regular. At least that's what I'm hoping!!

Hope you're doing well!
