My daughter and I seem to be getting closer lately. She brought me a Mother's day card that she had attempted to make a blooming flower in the middle of but it didn't work right. Still it was the thought and it was sweet. So I took her out to breakfast this morning and we had a good talk about her son. He is getting up better for school and actually does his homework most of the time. Now if my granddaughter doesn't make a big drama queen enterance we will be okay. Ahh! Big sigh of relief. And Mylot is working again. I am getting all my discussions and things are looking up again. My grandson is going to be going to a YWCA Lego Day Camp this Summer and a Trim Kids Class as well. So are the kids in your family being good? Do they have things to look forward to this Summer?

Maybe it has something to do with her age(she's 40 now) and she is taking the right meds. She hasn't has a manic phase for about three years now. They used to be afew months apart. That helps.
Your grandson's Summer job sounds great. I hope to get mine into some sports in another year or two. He's not real sporty. Math nerd and engineer.

That is wonderful news! I am so glad to hear that you and your daughter are being able to work through things.
I am actually thinking about putting my youngest in some kind of class for the summer. A fun class where she can experiment with her creative side. There is a place here that is very informal that holds different kinds of classes. She hasn't told me what she as interested in..she would be happy reading books all summer if I let her..lol. Sometimes keeping them busy is the best thing.
Take care.

Our family therapy sessions have really been helping. The counselor is great! And My grandson started his Trim Kids class today. Hope it all lasts. He will be going to Summer school cause he needs to keep the school ethic going on. I think he could be a problem with out keeping a schedule going for him. Best of luck keeping your occupied. In our city there are community classes they can take and the YWCA too. This class was going to cost us $200 but H&W helped.

I know! BOOM!! Is right. I feel like if everything is going okay I feel edgy, unsure cause nothing is going on. Like that has become the norm. Hope you have a great Mother's Day.

Ah, to be young again, huh? My daughter is 40! She and I have been through some bad times. She went through a very bad manic phase about three Summers ago. It was awful. That is why it is so nice to back in good communication.

Yet I am not married and I don't have a child. My cousins are doing good around here. They are the mood of enjoyment now because now the schools are closed and they have a wonderful time. They used to play simple games with me and used to do the same. I love my little cousins and the little time which i spent with them

No kids close by right now. My grands in Minnesota are looking forward to a new baby for Summer. They often go to parks and swim, etc. Play in the back yard. Dad takes them to Home Depot for the Saturday projects. My son's girlfriend has two school age girls and they are moving to our community this summer. I think the kids are all good at school.

I'm glad that your daughter make cute present for you. My daughters are good to me always, a little issue along the way but nothing to worry about. My youngest are in her modelling course and she almost taken it for months and today is her graduation. Summer vacation is closely to end and next month is another school year to start.

hi celticeagle sounds like the su mmer is coming togehter for
hyou with your daughter and grandson . thats so good to hear.
I am glad for you so now if your granddaughter does not make
any dramatich problems all is well. i am sending you a private message as I got a pm from I thought was a friend and it was
a vicious attack calling me names and say in g because I had a
discussion deleted I caused her to lose a lot of money and allher other friends. I tried to private message her and tell her I did not appreciate being calledthose names and i had had no discussion deleted but mylot admins claimed I could not email her as shes not
on my friends list.I contacted mylot admins as I think they sent the private message to the wrong user name. otherwise she sent me this vicious attack then she deleted me from her friends list. well otherthan that vicious private message things are fine here but no grand kids myson is wo rking so am so happy for him.

I am SOOO sorry to hear you are having this problem. It seems like people really get nasty with you dontinually. Is it the same person or different people? I will bet that she wrote you this nasty note and then deleted you so you had no way to respond. I doubt Admins had anything to do with it. I am going to go read your PM now.

Hey there its me!!!
My children are being good, we had a lovley bank holiday weekend al together. I decided it would be a proper family weekend and we would do activites altogether over the weekend!!!!
So we went to a football match on Sunday afternoon, two youngest were a bit bored but tough love, I'm not into football but there was some eye candy there as it was a charity match and there were some celbs there. So I got into the spirit. We had A MacDonalds etc for lunch as well. Monday afternoon was the twins choice so we went ot the soft play area as they are nearly too old ot go there, so eldest son was bored but tough love!! Some weekends hubby and son go to football and twins and I go and do something else so I felt that we should do everything together and we would all be a bit bored at some point. I put my foot down with a firm hand so to speak. We had hubby's cousins and children round for a meal on the saturday and there was lots of car crash telly on. so we were all happpy.
So glad that you and your daughter are getting close, I wonder what my eldest daughter is up to these days!!!
We have good things ot look forward to for the summer as well.
Wanted to be first to anwser on your discussion but its taken me so long to type I bet I'm not first now!! Sob

You're just silly. Big laugh it is. What's you been doing with yourself lately? Hardly see you on anymore. Glad you had a nice holiday. I guess it just seemed like we were in a rut and here lately we have been rather friendlier than usual. Its nice. This time of year especially. Happy days!

To be honest I haven't been doing that much really, just what you call everyday living things at home, got another cleaning client so working 20 hours a week cleaning now. Sometimes its hard to get a long slot on mylot as others want pc and other times i have been too shattered to sit on the pc.
Wish I could spend a whole day here, but then after being that greedy I would want ot be that greedy every day
Hope you and daughter stay close

My daughter MADE me a card. I don't think it really matters. It is the feelings behind whatever you do. Just spend some time.... Have a good one.
