Happy hump day! Yesterday I worked from home and what a busy day it was! It started at 5:00 am with logging in to work and getting some reports started, then I ran Teddy to the vet at 8:30 to drop him off to have some teeth pulled (he retained some baby teeth, so those had to come out), then back home to work to finish up some reports and begin others.  I left the house at 4:00 to go pick Teddy up and take Bruno to the vet for his skin problem.

We’re going to try a dip on him to see if we can get him to stop itching so much. Poor guy is just miserable.

I’ve been having an interesting e-mail conversation with Gina (Chris’ wife) who has been telling me what terrible grandparents Ken and I are because we don’t constantly send her stuff for the kids. She just doesn’t get it that it’s hard to be a good grandparent if the kids don’t tell you what is going on or what the grandkids need. She told me today they need clothes. Did she tell me sizes? no. Did she tell me what kind of clothes (shorts, jeans, coats, shoes??) no. I’ve asked for sizes, colors and if they have any favorite cartoon characters they like. Oh — and I made sure to ask for her current address so we can be sure to send them to the right place.

Maybe my memory is at fault, but I don’t remember needing my mother or father (or Ken’s mother) to provide clothes, food and shelter for my kids nor did I expect them to. I didn’t think they were terrible grandparents, either. Guess this generation just has different expectations.

Well, guess I need to do something productive today.

Love to all,

Margaret
