Ok, so I thought since I showed you one grandchild I should show you the one that lives with me. This is an old picture, she will be 4 at the end of this month.

She does not understand at all that I am leaving tomorrow morning for California and will be back in 6 days. I told her that when I get back we will do something special, just the two of us. She has decided that we will see a movie, go to McDonalds and to top it all off, she want me to go and buy her some clothes. I swear this is the only child that I know of that when you come home from the store, it is not candy or a toy that she wants you to buy, it is clothes. She is such a girly girl and I love her more then I ever thought I could love another human being. It is not that I don't love my 3 grandsons just as much, but she is the oldest and the only girl and she makes no mistake telling people that she is grandma's girl.

So, tomorrow I am off. I leave Raleigh at 7:45 in the morning and get into Burbank at noon. On Thursday my sister and I will go to Vegas where we will see John Edward on Thursday night and then we will spend one more day in Vegas and head back to California. I will be able to spend some time with my mom and my brother as well. I guess my older sister is not going to drive down (she is in northern Cal.) to see me. I should tell you that this does not break my heart. I can get along with her for so long but she is the type of person that has done everything that you have done, but she has done it longer and better. I can only deal with that for so long. Also her children are thieves, yes I said it... they will steal you blind if you don't watch what you have. To top it all off, 3 of them are adults and they are just as bad. Now, my kids are not perfect in any way, shape or form but I can honestly say to you that they have NEVER stolen money from me. Her kids are not only stealing money from her but they have taken money and other things from my mother also. This is their grandmother, you would think that they would have just a little respect for her. But, they do not. I really don't think that they have been shown how to respect anyone and another sad sad thing is I don't really think that they have been shown how to love. Now, that just breaks my heart.

On the other hand I had better not see any of them taking advantage of my mother when I am there. I will not put up with it and I will say something. I can already tell you that my mother will ask me not to say anything because she just wants peace in her house but JEEZ...THEY ARE STEALING FROM HER!! One of them even went so far as to steal the medicine that her doctor perscibed to her for pain, thats right....for pain, the one that did this (and I know which one it was so, if you are reading this...know that I am coming after you) left her 1 that is ONE pill in the bottle. Now, when my mother told me about this she said "well, I was not going to take anymore anyways" I am thinking that it does not matter whether she was going to take them or not, they were not yours (and you know who you are) to take. Shame on you. Ok, enough rambling, I will be back on Wednesday next week, I don't think that I will be on here at all but I will try. Everyone please have a great week and pray that I will not be tempted to smoke.
