I actually managed to lose a pound during her time here. Even tho she insisted on taking us out for breakfast and dinner every day. :roll:
she'll be back tuesday..but only for the afternoon, then I take her down to Chicago to catch a flight out in the Early morning.
She's a lovely person, and really isn't mean or nasty or anything..but she's SO used to controlling everythign in everyone's life that it's hard for her to back off and let someone else have an opinion. Can't blame her, I suppose. She's had to take care of 3 or more mentally disabled children/adults all her life. She grew up with 2 brothers with severe disabilities, and had 2 of her own...then started foster care for the severe cases.
but..there's a good reason that when she talked about moving closer to Wisconsin to be near family, Mike started looking at jobs in Alaska! :lol:
