Boy, that's for sure! I'm sure himself did enjoy his visit and it's really so good for him to be out of the house for awhile. I have found that since my knee surgery in January I just want to stay home all the time but I absolutely love it once I make myself go out! I love that your grandson mows your lawn. My twins went faithfully to my mother's home after my dad passed away to take care of her yard. I was so proud of them!
ReplyDeleteThat boy is a great lawn boy--- LOL-- WE need these kids!-Lynda
DeleteYour son's house is absolutely beautiful! I'm so glad you were able to attend the party, and that Son #1 and Himself had some alone time together too. I think it's nice when adult family members can get one to one time with each other. Your grandson - goodness, they keep making 13yrs look so young these days. When I was 13 I thought we were almost all grown up! I couldn't have been more wrong! (Chuckle)
ReplyDeleteToday was a quiet day but I still tried to be more active and not be in front of the computer all day where I really enjoy being - but too many hours sitting isn't good for us. Eh? I have my young friend Shaun - he's about the same age as my adult kids who are in their 30's - coming for a visit. He knows my Sunday chore list and always helps with it and I'm so grateful to have a friend / adopted son keeping an eye on me and being a source of good company. All my family is overseas so it's good have someone in my life that looks out for me. He's a good 'kid'.
Your young friend sounds like a good person to drop in to help yu-Lynda
DeleteGood for you getting himself out of the house. You both need a break where you don't have to worry about him and he needs to get out and be social with someone other than you. Hope the rest of the weekend is a good one.
ReplyDeleteIt was good to get him out-- good for me too--Lynda
DeleteGood for you! And both houses are so lovely. Happy Bday to the grandson! Last night I was sitting here dreaming of moving to Hawaii (and figuring out a way to become rich enough to do that, ha ha). Heck, I can't even afford to replace the sad carpet here in the condo.
ReplyDeleteFunnynyu should mention Hawaii--Son#3 is off to there to-morrow-Lynda
DeleteWhat a handsome young man your grandson is. Happy Birthday to him!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Fred got out and you had a little break. You both need to have that.
Nice yu wrote Paula-Thank you-Lynda
DeleteI LOVE the title of today's blog!!!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is very handsome. And, he's a good kid. Your son has a lovely home. You must be button popping proud of all your kids and grands.
GOOD ON YOU for dropping Fred off for a bit. Son is close and just maybe Fred will get into a conversation and enjoy himself. So GLAD you are giving you and Fred a break. Fred getting OUT is a good thing.
Enjoy your day. Yep, keep rolling your eyes lol
Hugs
It was a great change for Himself-- Good yu like the title of the blog--LOL--Lynda
DeleteLinda: Wow you look great and your grandson is handsome! He’s going to be tall! Love that impish grin in picture #2.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww, glad you could leave Himself w/son #1. That makes things a bit easier for you to get things accomplished. Tugs @ the heart when they say stuff like that, doesn’t it!
Tough love indeed! It’s not just for kids, right!?! Good job.
Hugs

It was a good day for Himself--=ALso a good day for me--Thanks Barb for being here-Lynda
DeleteI witnessed the following with my parents and several other family members dealing directly with loved ones with dementia:
ReplyDelete"For the person affected by Alzheimer's or dementia, separation anxiety can be magnified as they already feel personally "lost," and losing, or being separated from, a familiar caregiver can make them unsettled and agitated." From an Alzheimer's Q&A forum.
Hugs as you deal with this.
Photos are nice. You have many reasons (people) to make you proud of the family you and Fred created and nurtured.
It was a busy but a good day--- I hope yu had a good day too-Lynda
DeleteHow wonderful! Himself enjoyed himself, I am sure. He also showed how much he loves, appreciates and depends on you.
ReplyDeleteSon's family does, too. And so do we, Lynda...your former Spark friends!
The photos of the kids a lovely.
Have a great Sunday. {{{HUGS}}}
It is so nice to hear from yu----WE had a good day here--I hope that yu did too!-Lynda
DeleteBrave and strong, and doing what's right! That's you, Lynda! Glad you were able to make this balance work today.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to get Himself to go out even if it is to go to Son#1...perhaps if he acts up there they will realize he is not like he
ReplyDeletewas.
Glad your grandson enjoyed his party. Good looking bunch of kids. Good that your were able to take himself to your son's and leave him there. Hope that worked out for both of you. You certainly can use the break.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that you took Himself to your son's house. It was good for both of you. A change of scenery for him was an excellent idea. When he can be outdoors will also be beneficial for him. You need breaks from 24 hour care giving. I hope that you can make this happen every once in a while.
ReplyDeleteHave a good evening

Yes it does take all your strength. I have been having a lot of trouble with mom now as her mind is slipping more and more. I find it hard to figure if I am helping her or if I need to do more or if I have to let go and let someone else step in. It is hard.
