Thank you LoisB for the encouragement. It went smoothly on the 1st morning today. His alarm on his phone went off and he slept thru it for 15 minutes before I tapped the bottom of his feet sticking thru the covers. He then got up and moved quickly. We got to his school 15 minutes early.
So I thought I would give a quick update on my dealings with W. Since she had om move in with her, I have no contact with her. The 1 time we dealt with each other was when she came up with the idea of bringing d18 and d19 who both live in Boston home for Christmas. W wanted me to pay half for the airfare - it turns out om offered to pay half as her Christmas present.
But it did not work out. D19 is now a manager at Starbucks and she took the Christmas shift. D18 is alone at school for the holidays and is understandably lonely her 1st Christmas away from the family. But she told my Mom that she doesn't want to be around om, but we will see.
I was with my family for Thanksgiving, including d21 and s14, and it was really nice seeing 22 family members and have them love on me, and to hear the updates in their lives. My nephew's 2 year old daughter stole the show and was completely adorable. W did not go to her family's Thanksgiving celebration. So I do not know what her and om did. That's all folks.
