We spent the day at my mom’s. Haven’t been to see her in ages and it’s not that I don’t like to visit with her, I do. It’s just such a hassle to get the kids ready and looking all pretty to see Grammy, then getting them there, then chasing them all over the place so that mini bug doesn’t break anything or sit on Grammy glass coffee table…that kind of stuff. It’s stressful. My mothers house is beautiful and it is not childproof by any means of the word.
I showed her the things that I have been making and her eyes opened wide in awe and surprise. YOU made those she said….yep I answered. Wow she said, those are nice..really nice. What do you do with them. I said, they are decorations mom. Ohhh she said. You will all see soon enough what I have been up to.
Then of course she started on me again about my extra poundage. Ohhh Bug she said, you know you should at least try to get that off. Sigh, I know mom. You such a pretty girl, and not that your not pretty now, but don’t you feel better when your thinner…yes mom. Well, if you are having such a hard time getting rid of those extra pounds why don’t you try to find a safe weight loss pill maybe that would help you out. I then started to laugh.
I said, mom do you mean like back when I was a teenager and the Dr. gave Grandma diet pills and they made her so goofy that she almost ironed her own arm while she was ironing her clothes (this is a true story). Mom looked at me and started to laugh too. Oh she said, I don’t think they have pills like that anymore on the market. I said…don’t be so sure. We both started laughing again. The weight subject was over when Mini Bug came over and said I love you grammy and jumped on my mothers lap and gave her a precious kiss.
