My Mom & Dad are coming tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! Eeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the way from northern Michigan!!!! I've been madly cleaning, menu planning, grocery shopping, and pressing my children into servitude. I'm BEAT! But tomorrow afternoon they will be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (This does mean I will be a little scarce on our forum the next few days. I'll surely find a way to get on after they go to bed each night.) My mom will LOVE Kringle & Clausy. My dad? Not so sure. I'm sure he will make all kinds of witty comments about stretching the chicken a little farther, etc. and so forth. He always talks about having a fish fry when he's ogling my fish tank. He thinks he's tremendously funny.  In all seriousness, though , he's been sick for a long time, and I'm thrilled he's feeling well enough to make this trip. |

Thank you ladies so much!! I hope so too, Lisa, and even more than being nice, I hope they don't take this opportunity to drop their very first poop missile when taking a quick flight around the living room, RIGHT while my dad is here to witness it! |

Ahhhhhh, hahaha!!! No WONDER my little fellows have been so incredibly tidy when they fly thru! And here I thought they were such well mannered little men, smarter, cleaner, and generally more advanced that everybody else's birds! HA!
That's so funny. I can't wait to tell my family!
Thanks for the good wishes - I'm having a wonderful visit with my parents.

I am thrilled that you have such a good relationship with your parents. Treasure it! It's not like that for everyone.
My parents struggled with alcoholism and depression. I cannot remember a time when I was excited to see them. They both died in their early sixties. I have a lot of compassion for their struggles and their unhappiness. It sounds terrible, but it has been a relief that they have passed on. They were mostly a problem to me. When my brother and I get together we often engage in "what if . . .", wondering what might have changed things for them.
I don't say this so anyone can feel sorry for me. I have a wonderful life. I am just saying hat an enormous blessing it is to have good parents. I do my best to be one for my daughter.

Diana, from what you've shared with me about you and your daughter's relationship, I know you are a wonderful mother to her! I really admire people who can change what went wrong in their own relationships with parents and be better parents themselves. I'm also really glad you have your brother! |
