My elbow hurts.
Sorry to hear that. Did you do something to it?My elbow hurts.
Just have to vent, so I can let it go. We have a wedding to go to this evening. #1 son and DIL and grandsons will be going to the same wedding. They live a three hour drive from here and the wedding is in this area. They came up early to go school shopping. Well...I had invited them to come for Sunday dinner at 3:00 since the wedding is at 6:00. At 2:00 I got a text from my son saying that they were still shopping and would probably not make it for dinner! He didn't even call. He texted!!! I texted him back, "Your loss." we have been smoking ribs all morning. I have Mac and cheese in the oven. It will still be great, but I am mad. I know I need to get over it! I guess I am sad too because I love spending time with those grandsons of mine, and they love my Mac and cheese.

It's also the Children's dilemma as parents, to get everything done for their children in the allotted time...something's gotta give. And texting is the norm now for the next generation, they do not understand why a phone call would be considered more polite. At least they let you know.
Sweetie, I understand how you feel. I'm so selfish about seeing those kids of mine On Sunday's but I'f I've learned anything it's this. Keep quiet and let the chips roll where they may. I know you probably went into high gearcleaning,cooking,baking, I'm the same way I can't help it, it's just my way.The least they could have done is pick up the phone, that cost very little. I'd make a small text about calling next time PLEASE...OWe would really love to hear your voice.Just have to vent, so I can let it go.

That sucks Addie. Best of luck with the surgery.

I have refused invitations from my mom when I was a young married. I also have experienced having my invitations refused by my daughters. Now I understand how mom felt.
As we age, our world shrinks and we see our family, children and grandchildren, more important than ever. At the same time, our children's worlds are expanding as they add friends and expand their social lives and tend to the same for their children. There's only so much time in a young family's day to get it all done.
