I am so glad that no one thought I had totally lost it after my last entry. And it's nice to know that some of you are weird like me! LOL
I know I am still not updating everyday and I honestly don't know why. I just can't seem to get myself to log on most days. It's really weird. I am trying to do better though.
Since today was a holiday I went to my parents house for lunch. It was yummy. Meatloaf, mac and cheese, and mashed pototoes. Some of my favorite foods.
The other night I got the shock of a lifetime. My middle niece (she's 21) called me. She has NEVER called me. (She had to call mom to get my number) She got married at 16 years old and had a baby a few years later. She isn't with her husband anymore. I still can't believe she called, and for no reason other that just to chat! She's going to email me some pictures of her little girl, can't wait to see them.
It would be nice to have a relationship with all 3 of my nieces someday. Their mom hates this side of the family and kept the kids -- and my brother -- away from us as much as possible (years at a time). Who knows maybe something good will come from this.

I am not weird like you! I am weird like me! It takes a special person to live up to my weirdness. I am afraid you aren't quite there yet but you keep trying! I have faith in ya! Tammy
Happy that your middle niece called and you two talked. Maybe you can talk more and get close. Your lunch sounded yummy at your mom's house.
We're all weird in one way or another. I hope you can keep in touch with your neice thru email, that's a good start. Your family isn't the only family to have this problem, and remember it isn't the childrens fault they had no part in it, so keep in touch with your neice it sounds like she needs someone in her life that is a blood relative. gg
I'm glad you enjoyed your niece. It might be good to keep in touch.

I have a 'similar' SIL. My nephews kept in touch as often as they could. I used to blame my SIL for all the separation of nephews and my brother and then one day I realized my brother had choices to make too ... and he had obviously made his. I am still in touch with one nephew and he with me ... and it's nice to keep that family connection, even though it's not always easy.
Hope you continue to develop and enjoy your niece in your life!
That is really great that your niece called you! wonderful. Hope you are having a nice weekend. love, Shelly
I hope she did e-mail you the pictures, ands that the phone call i9s a beginning of some kind of connection for both of you. Margo
