Girls Weekend in Vegas!

Sin City Got the BEST OF US!

Let me just start by saying there are mother and daughter rules that go with out even saying them. These are just a few I wish to mention.
1. When your daughter is pregnant she is to tell her mother as soon as she tells her husband, mom needs to know so that she can brag and boast and be all excited with her.
2. You do not get tattoos for any reason when your mom is in the same room.
3. You are not to be back seat drivers when mom is driving a 7 passenger van.
4. You dont make your mother buy a swimming suit so she doesnt scare other guests at the pool.
These are just 4 that I mention because they were all broken by my daughters and my daugther in law.
1st rule is broken by my oldest daugther Andrea. 5 1/2 months pregnant and I FIND OUT? whats wrong with that picture. I dont think she will ever live this down. I am wounded beyond repair :)
2nd rule broken BY ALL OF THEM, all 5 of them got tattoos and all i could do is pace around the tattoo shop looking at obscene lighters. (huh linds )
3rd rule broken BY ALL OF THEM AGAIN (I have to correct myself Mallory was a good backseat person and didnt tell me what to do ) :) I dont know if they are serious or not but I think they have plans to take my license away within a year or two based on their input of my driving skills, I actually thought i did exceptionally well.
4th rule broken! I now have a swim suit and a swim suit cover that will probably never get worn again, unless of course they cohert me into getting close to a pool again.
IN all seriousness I had a great time. We had alot of fun walking down the strip and seeing the night life of Vegas. Hanging out by the pool all day was one of the funnest for me even though I did buy a suit. We all enjoyed going the Medieval Knight dinner and show. I think Jen and Linds have a new love named "Chris the Robot" he was so fun to watch and he got Linds pretty good. I could have watched him for a long time. We walked and walked and walked and shopped and shopped some more. I fixed breakfast for them Sunday morning and I think everyone liked it.
To my "daughters" thank you for going with me and making it so much fun. I truly do have issues with everyone being all grown now and one thing that keeps me going is knowing that there are alot more times like our Vegas weekend in the future.
Thanks again for going girls.. I love you all so much and I definitely had a great time with all of you.

She DID IT!!





Well I just have to say, "Way to go Nat". I am so proud of her determination and desire to graduate. I know it was alot of work there at the end and some concern on her part and mine. She called me last week crying and saying "I made it mom". Talk about a tender moment, I think we both were crying when we finally hung up.
I wish her all the best in what lies ahead of her. I hope she will take the opportunity to accomplish more great things, and that she'll go out and experience college, and working, traveling and taking some time for her to spread her wings and grow.

I love you with all my heart and I will definitely miss her. It seems the birds have all spread their wings. :(

IS THERE A SUPPORT GROUP FOR THESE FEELINGS?


Again way to go NAT! I LOVE YOU
