A Reason For Yesterday
Thank you all for the comments on the last post. It was more I was just really upset with all the grandparents but I am over it now and starting right after this Christmas (and starting this Christmas if I have enough courage) we are going to start our own traditions instead of spending half our time on the road every Christmas and summer when no one ever has time to (in 9 years) come up here for graduations or vacations or anything else. And I have decided I am going to be the type of grandma that my kids step-grandma has always been, one that sends Valentine Cards with a dollar or two saying "Tell you mama to go buy you some ice cream", sends birthday cards, e-mails, calls and talks to on the phone if any of my grandkids live far from us and if they live close I am going to love everyone of them and hug and kiss them to pieces. But I am going to always treat them all the same because I don't want any of them to ever feel not good enough for my love.
Now on to other things. Did you all get that message today to move to google thing? Well I thought I did but heck I'm not sure what I am doing yet because it seems I am on the same blogger I was always on except I can't seem to post pictures now. This blog world sure confuses me sometimes. It is late now and I think I am going to head to bed. Since blogger was down for what seemed like the entire day I will catch up on reading everyone's blog tomorrow.

Mouse, I didn't get any message like that!
we had grandparent issues here too. My former MIL treated my stepsons like kings and my kids (also her grandchildren) were 2nd best. I mean, she had a picture taken of the stepsons together so my ex could have a picture of his kids together, but didn't include my 6 year old! My kids see her twice a year and that's enough.
Anyway, blogger is working fine for me. I think!
Well Mouse....that question in your last post stinks!! I have step grand kids. It seems things are just weird these days & I dont know what to say. My in-laws have given way more to one grandchild vs MANY others but I am not saying it is bad or good. There are pros & cons to each. This grand kid lacked a mother figure in her life for a long time. Anywho it is complicated. Staying at home for Christmas..I give you a hi-5 on that. No sense in all that traveling to me. I see you are on beta blogger now. I am scared to do it. MAMA YOU DO IT 1ST then I'll do it. LOL!! Oh your daughter is sooo pretty!
what difference am I supposed to notice if I sign in on beta?
I had that too about changing to Beta Blogger but it still gave me a choice to change or not so I haven't yet...I just hear too many horror stories about Beta! It said to sign in with your Google name...I don't have a Google name?? Heck if I know what they mean! I just know you're going to be a greatttt grandma when the time comes and I think it's an excellent idea to make your own traditions for Christmas...why should you have to do all the travelling when they can't be bothered? Wouldn't be so bad if you took turns every other year but it sounds like it's always you. Take care! xox
I don't know dot this big page just came up when I logged in saying I should switch over to Google Beta Blooger. It was suppose to move everything over there so I did but I can't tell that I moved anywhere. I still get into my blog the same way I always did. Bet you will be getting one soon.
Know what you mean Connie, my kids have always done the right thing but all our nephews have been in trouble with the police and only one finished school and yet where mine not only have finished (or almost finished) school they finished with really high grades and test scores yet they don't come down to see them graduate but don't miss anything the nephews do.
Sorry about that I got interupted on my comments.
Sorry tina I know it stinks, I was in a really BAD mood when I posted it because I had just learned they had no plans of coming down this May and I was mad that we were going down Christmas when they didn't care enough to come here and I really wanted to stay home my first Christmas in this house. How can you tell I am on Beta Blogger? Does it look different?
Thank you for your comment on Lacy, that was very sweet.
Pea they had me pick a google name when I was moving it over. I sure hope it doesn't become a mess. I have noticed a few folks using Family Corner blogspot so if this messes mine up I will move over there and give you all my new spot. So if I disappear come looking for me. I really do hope that some day I am a really good grandma Pea. I have always wanted to be a good mom and wife and I think for the most part I have done that and I want to be an even better grandma.
We have alittle of that here, my husband's parents have always had the other grandkids over alot and will babysit, but when we ask they are either busy or have too many little kids over already. it stings some. And my kids are very well behaved, easier then the cousins who are usually there...so I don't know what it is. Also, my parents are divorced and remarried, so the holidays have always been a headache. I have cried thru most holidays since I was 9...
One good hint for being a good grandma..I have issues with my mom, but one good thing she has done is not hassle me about the holidays, she has always planned a meal on the weekend before or after the holiday, it is so much less stressful to not have to divide ourselves 3 ways...I would advise you to do something like that. You know, we would love to just have thanksgiving in our own home..without any guilt...(from the other two sets of grandparents)
