Those are awesome gifts! I sent my parents to Europe for mothers day and my dad's bday - they're on their vacation right now. As my parents get older I feel like giving them life experiences are so much better than things. We think along the same lines farmie.
I agree!
My wife just took my mom to a spa where she was pampered for the whole day. When I picked them up; the look on my mom's face and what she said to me was priceless.. "My entire life, I have never felt so relaxed and pampered"..
:'(
That's cute. The best gifts in life are free. Especially as we get to a certain stage in life where all of our needs are met, it's like, who needs more stuff. A simple card or letter or like you said, a cute project made with their own two little hands. That's all a person really needs and it's all that matters.
Yes, thank you, I did. Ended up with an unexpected surprise from the last person on earth I expected. I don't know if T.I. is the right place to share these kinds of things anymore because there seems to be a lot more trolling lately which is too bad. I write things here that nobody in my real life knows and too private for Facebook. With the trolling, I'm more hesitant, harder to be genuine since it's a hostile environment. Certain people will find a problem with absolutely anything.
Did the normal stuff. Actually went to Big Air on Sat. Church and lunch at Miguel's California Cantina on Sunday. Was going to do cosmic bowling on Sunday but I realized that's only Fri & Sat so I sat home and caught up on T.V. I told my family not to buy me anything. Just make me cards. Anybody can spend money but something from the heart is nicer.
I watched my friend's grandson. Long story short, he was born a crack-addicted baby. Taken from his mom at birth. No visitation rights & she lives far away. (No, CA Court, his crack addict parents are not from Foothill Ranch but thank you for so kindly thinking of it. I'll save you the trouble.) I 1st met this kid when he was in Kindy. I was a class aide. He has a lot of behavior issues. It was intimidating for me because my kids are both straight A students & are extremely different personality-wise. Mine are disciplined and loving kids. This boy used to chuck sharpened pencils at me and the other helpers. Refused to do any work, give us paper cuts, throwing stuff everywhere. Refused to clean it up. Does not follow rules. Hates authority. A big trouble-maker. His grandma adopted him & raises him with her husband. Time went on. I learned more about his situation and why he is the way he is. I told my husband I feel like he was put in my life for a reason (or me in his). He doesn't have a mother. Said I was going to pray about how I could help in his life. My husband said that was a noble idea but don't focus too much on it. Fast forward, he & grandma come to our church. Surprise. They didn't know we were there. They began attending and I became closer to his grandma. Currently, he is at the age where he is realizing that he doesn't have a mom. This Mother's Day, he was crying about it. He compares his situation to others. Sees other kids with their moms & me w/ mine. He came over to my house because the grandma needed someone to watch him. Physically he is very small due to the drugs that were in his body (low birth weight w/ physical & mental challenges now). No appetite due to ADD meds he's on which he has to take because the crack messed up his neurological development. Very skinny. Barely eats. I baked him cinnamon streusel muffins. He wanted them all. He was having a ball at my house. The grandma came to get him. He BEGGED her to stay at my house. "PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEEASE, Grandma!"
But it was time to go. For the FIRST TIME in 4 YEARS, he gave me a HUG goodbye. Wow! Doesn't sound like a big deal but it is. He doesn't really trust anybody! He was actually clinging to my leg for a while & closing his eyes squeezing me. She almost had to pull him off me. They left. I was shocked! Something has changed.
Holy S***, So Cal is Sandra Bullock!!! Here is picture as proof.
All joking aside, are you an IUSD teacher? Preschool teacher? Can you transfer to Beacon Park K-8 School or Portal Spring HS. I would love to have my son go to your class.
Nope, volunteer work. Might see you at P.S. High in the future, though. lol. I've actually never seen The Blind Side. Is it good?
I like it and it is based on true story. and you can order on directv for $5.99..
i have a feeling that my TI account will get suspend soon because too many directv advertisement.

The key to this Mother's Day was planning.
Small DIY project with my toddler. (Paint a frame for grandma and my wife) Bought the supplies at Michaels. For the project spent: $4 for two frames, paint .75 cents, brush .50 cents. I also, bought a purse for my wife.
We took my mom out to lunch on Sat. Sunday, we took my wife out for brunch. Then went shopping after.
