Pregnancy is Definitely Worth It!

My kids were here this weekend. When I say "my kids," I mean my daughter (an only child) and her husband. They drove up from North Carolina for the holiday weekend to help me do some things around the house that I just don't have the muscle to pull off on my own. Besides, we were last together at Christmas. It's past time.

While I do appreciate their youthful energy and strength, the really neat thing is that they are great people. I raised a truly wonderful daughter, and she has good taste in men. They're a terrific young couple, and I love being with them. It's a good thing they live six hours away. I'd probably be in their faces way too much, if I had the opportunity.

My bathroom was just awful. The previous owners of my home did everything on the cheap, and I'm gradually doing away with all that. The bathroom was hardest hit by the penny-pinchers, and it was seriously in need of a face lift. We got everything done except some caulking and trim work, which I can do by myself. It already looks terrific, even without the new paint job which is next on the agenda.

During the working hours, we had plenty of time to talk and tease and...yes...fuss a little at one another. But, that's the way families do. And it felt good to have my family under my roof again. Fussing and all.

I'm not very grumpy today.
