Congrats on the job! Nice your son visited. This is the future. He will still be close to you if you don't try to force your agenda on him. He also has to take care of his girlfriend and their child. I think he is being very mature.
He is up until they start playing NERF guns! I am trying to just let it play out. He was here Friday for a while as he needed to use my printer. Here Saturday, because they left his car here. Sunday was all afternoon.
The microwave I got them for Christmas should be here in the next couple of days and then I will take it to their apartment. Life is just trucking along.

Hugs hugs hugs!!! You will find a new rhythm with them both and things will settle.
So kind to get them a MUCH needed appliance! That was the first 'major' purchase we made in our first place. Of course, with a baby it's an absolute necessity.

He spent part of the day at the house again doing laundry and some work for school. He still tries to do that one day a week with his Dad so he is also with his sisters and grandparents. D16 is still missing him terribly. She gave him the longest hug goodbye but still doesn't want to talk about him.
They will find their new groove too. Everything is changing, which of course it does, just faster than it normally does.
I did a training call for my new job last night. It seems pretty straight forward. I could have started training last night but I had such a crazy day yesterday, that I decided that I would plunge in tonight. I am just full of change aren't I? The funny thing is, I am more of a gradual change person. I just have to make it work.

So I am feeling better knowing that my son isn't going to just disappear from my life. I did feel bad for his GF though. She had an all day baby class on Saturday. S19 had to work, so she went by herself. She said it was worse than high school. Everyone just seemed to stare at her since she was alone. Then at lunch, she tried to reach out and ask if she could sit with someone. They told her they were expecting their friends. Then, you guessed it, no one showed. She felt terrible. I told her that had I known, I would have gone with her. I don't know if she will ever ask me, but the offer is out there.

WOW. That must have been painful for her. Hopefully she will learn to be more open to help from you and learn to ask for it (much harder than accepting what's offered...trust me!)as she gets to know you better.

She really has tried to keep a tough shell around her for so long, she just doesn't let to many people in. So I suppose that she mentioned it in front of me and mentioned that it hurt her feelings is a huge step. I think of the baby as family but I still have a hard time just saying that she is.
I am working on it and I think she is too. Oh did I mention, they are engaged now?
