I'm so excited

Well I have done it. I have finally done it. I put an offer on a house. Townhouse actually. I didn't realize how scary it is. It's just an offer but I love this place. I had my daughter look at it. She was the deciding factor in me finally stepping outside my comfort zone and making the offer. I wanted her to like it as much as I did. It's perfect for me. An extra bedroom for the grandkids when they spend the night. A nice fenced in yard for the pooch with a nice patio. I actually would have grass!! So would Wicket. Granted, a few of the walls have the ugliest wallpaper I have ever seen, but that can be removed. Christie says some of it looks like wrapping paper. I have been staying with my parents and don't get me wrong, I love them dearly and glad they actually like me living with them. But I want my "stuff". I want my own couch and bed and pots and pans. Granted, I don't cook very much when it's just me, but I still want them. The offer is going in tomorrow. I feel giddy. Giddy. . .what a word. Think good thoughts.

It's his loss

Speaking with my daughter the other day, I wanted to scream!! My ex husband does not want to spend time with his grandkids. Can you believe it!! He wants adult time. Whatever that means.

I have to ask myself why I'm surprised. I spent 17 years with this guy who never. . . never. . .NEVER took us on a vacation. I wanted to take the kids to Disneyland. . .the the cabin in Montana. Nope. His answer was always that he worked hard for his vacation time he was not going to spend it doing something he didn't want to do. He did take us all to Wenatchee for a 3 day vacation. . .. that is. . .for him. We stayed at his friends house and I babysay their kids while friend's wife was at work and the friend and him went golfing. WOW!! Have to write that in my diary as a memorable vacation. Let's do it again!! And we did. The next year. That was the closet my kids ever got to a vacation while growing up. I was hoping that he would change and not be like that with his grandkids but oh so not happening. I couldn't stand it if I couldn't see my grandkids at least once or twice a week. They are so much fun. They are constantly changing. They learn something new everyday and I am in awe of them. I love them all so much. Christie is such a good mommy and Jay. . .well. . .just one of the best daddies you ever want to know. Christie's father (and I use that term loosely) is missing out on so much and it's his loss. Their hugs and kisses and I love you's are the best!!

Christie has put forth so much effort to take the kids to see him. And he's pissed it away. I feel sorry for him. I really do. What a selfish person. SELFISH. . .SELFISH. . .SELFISH.

Oh well. . .more time for them to spend with ME!!
