My Monday

Comment Published at 07:1807:1829 comments29 comments40 Visits40 VisitsReport
The sun was bright and I was bracing for the trip...the trip across the 401. Hubby as usual was annoyingly calm. Why did I find a calm reasonable man??? Oh yes..because opposites attract!!! That has got to be it. I flap! As I have stated before because I just continually put it all out there..I am a flapper!!! Is there anyone else who flaps???? Flappers can get themselves worked up over...lets see, things not being right..as by our definition! Worrying about things to come..because that helps...NOT!!! But you do it anyway! LOL!!! When you don't have those last minutes things done and you are running about like a crazy person(no need to draw conclusions here!) to get them done and other people in the house are calm...not seeing the urgency of it all..this goes back to the annoying calmness. I know I get worked up,I know it doesn't makes sense and I know it wears you out but...flappers flap. For the first time in history my Hubby said something that although it rated a glare,yes..that type of glare,the one were you try so very hard to bore holes through your victum....he said,I know ..that's what you do! Finally he gets it!!! I didn't like the statement but finally he is not trying to reason away my flap. I don't think it can be done or I would have listened to myself and done the sensible thing years ago. Praise be it only took 35 years!!! So off we went stocked with beef,fixings for gravy,potatoes and everything for a huge salad. I took a store bought cake! Shock! Can't believe we did that but this one is sooo good,had to take it! We had a plan and it came together! Off across the huge and busy 401 and due to the intensity of my flap I knew we had everything. LOL!!! We were greated by my Daughter in law holding Sean! YES!!! He has changed so much! He is a few days over a month and filling out,lifting his little head and trying so very hard to focus on things,like crazy grinning Grandma's face! Poor kid! What a sight that must be. The delight of seeing the little brow crunch up and the eyes widen trying so hard to see this old lady that seems so intent on catching his attention. The little hands flying and he is just so hugable!!! Hubby put the roast into the oven and readied the potatoes and I put the salad together and then daughter that has just moved showed up. Great! We opened the baby gifts we brought from family members and talked and centered on Sean. Then I thought,this little guy will always have all this love around him. Always have this circle of elders to rely on. Very powerful when you think that this circle,the one we call family has withstood the times,started when man himself was new. We all have such a powerful legacy to pass on.

Re: My Monday

All I can say is that I am one massive flapper....... I flap over this and flap over that.... I flap over so much that  I think I really need a rest from flapping. Now I'm in a flap over flapping....

I knew you'd understand!!!!

*flap* *flap*

Re: My Monday

 Dear Marg, i will not let Steve read this blog of yours , or i would hear him say , i couldn't have written that better myself....he is the logical and calm one of the two of us ( maddening at times), he would call me a flappeerr!!!!!!!! for sure, but that's just me.

How wonderful that you  & hubby spent the day with Sean and  family.... i can see Sean's eyes widening in sheer delight of seeing his dear grandma......Sean has been given the best gift of all.....being born into such a warm  &  loving family..

Re: My Monday

I think that is exactly why I am so happy to be near family now.  I have always missed my family but the desire to be close to them has grown so much since Harrison was born.  If I can't be near my family, I am happy to be near Dean's.  Thanks for sharing Marg.

Oh so great to hear you have close family on both sides!!! Well for purely self serving motives I think Grandmothers should have a special place of closeness!! LOL!

It is great that little Sean is doing well.  They do grow so quickly.  Glad he has lots of love around him too.

Hi Marg,i am a flapper for sure,next time I will tell my husband when i am panicing ( is that spelling right looks funny )that I am a flapper lol when he tells me to calm down .So glad that little Sean is doing well.We may be going this weekend to meet little jake so looking forward to it.My mother keeps saying we should wait  a little longer until he is smiling to go and meet him, but that is too long away.Your family dinners sound great I love it when all my family get together.very special time.

Re: My Monday

Sean is very lucky, if there is one thing I am sure of then its that you will always be throwing love his way, my parents are exactly the same with mine and my brothers two also. You can't beat a close and loving family can you
