Everytime Jamie goes AWOL I get phone calls from "agencies" (youth shelters, missions etc) wanting to know why I've thrown this poor innocent baby out onto the street. I have a meeting with his teacher at 10am along with assorted other school type officials. Possibly Jamie will also be attending - wonderful. I already feel like I've failed in some way and now a group of people I dont' even know are going to be looking at me and evaluating my performance as a mother. Well, maybe they won't but it will certainly FEEL that way. Ah enough Jamie.
My grandmother called last night to tell me all about her shopping trip to Pennsylvania - her ladies club goes every year. Imagine if you will two Greyhound buses packed full of middle-aged to elderly Scottish ladies raring to shop and heading for the Liquor Barn for the cheap booze. It's insane and funny and exhausting. The first time I went with them I was amazed when before we even went to our hotel we pulled into a liquor store and some of these women were coming out with shopping carts FULL of cheap alcohol. Some of those womens suitcases were seriously clinking when we finally left lol. Anyhow, Grandma had a great time and spend lots of money buying god knows what lol. Then I made the mistake of asking her what she wants for Christmas. "Nothing, don't get me anything, I have everything" Uh huh - this is the same woman who freaked out four years ago when the kids didn't make her something for Christmas like they made for my mom. *sigh* Now I have to think of something for the 82 year old that has everything.
