It’s Saturday already? This week seems to have flown by.

So, I told y’all I sent the message to my oldest son’s father. It took a couple of days (I think if it were me it might have taken longer) but he wrote back, and so did his mother, who has really done the raising of the boy. He told our son that I’d written and gave him the choice to write back or not and he did tell me a bit about him and enclosed a few pictures. I don’t know what he’ll do, the poor kid has got to be in shock. It’s a lot to deal with. He knows how to reach me now, if he ever wants to. That will have to be enough. His grandmother’s letter was more hopeful. She was much nicer than the ex was (he’s still very angry about a lot of things) and she offered to fill me in and send me his senior picture. She’ll help the boy get through this emotional upheaval I caused by popping up out of the blue like this.

I shouldn’t call him a boy, he’s now 18, a young man. A handsome young man with goals and dreams. I hope someday I will get to know him. In the meantime, I am so very happy to finally be able to see him as he is now and to have the line of communication open.

I’ve got my inlaws coming back by later this morning, we had a nice visit on their way down to NC last week, now we’ll have another day to visit before they head back north. I’m so glad I like my inlaws =) I hear horror stories of other people’s and I just silently thank the Gods for mine =) All I have to deal with as a pet allergy, and that’s just a matter of cleaning up and keeping the critters from coming in contact with her skin. Surprisingly, they are all very good when it comes to that. It’s as if they sense that she would *like* to pet them more, but none of them will try to force attention on her like they do with anyone else who walks through the door. She can pet them with the sleeve of her shirt if she’s careful not to touch with her skin, so the cats will walk delicately across her lap (OK, BB is delicate the boys not so much) and let her pet their heads and say hello… then they pretty much go away. Even Boomer is careful with her, though I do have to watch him a bit more because he’s just so big and pushy. Manners are our next big training thing!

But now I’ve got to run so I can change the bedding and get a few last little things done before they arrive =)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
