I need some advice. How do I just enjoy the time that T and the nephews are still here and not get all weepy about them leaving every few minutes?
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Keep reminding yourself -- Be Here Now. Enjoy the now--which is right there in front of you.

Ok, Robin. Since you're here. It's 55 degrees today, on it's way to...well, 55 degrees. Can I wear flip flops?

No, because flip flops are not appropriate footwear for a mile walk. Also, movie theater floors are sticky and you could walk right out of your shoes. Sandals would be slightly more acceptable, but I suggest real shoes.
Okay, I GUESS you can wear what you want, but I Have Spoken. :)

Hee! The Robin has spoken. I will wear more sturdy shoes. They're already out, since I had to wear them yesterday :).

Flip flops are ebil.
95% of the floor in CJ's old room is cleared. I have located the vacuum. I need to clear out the closets and the built in desk, wash the walls, wash the built in desk, vacuum, and set-up the bed. If I can accomplish this today, I'll be a happy camper.
I'm sure you are all rivited to my progress.
So, ummmmmm. Giftie ideas. I'm at a loss. I like the "buy something special she wouldn't splurg on for herself" idea.
sj - Robin is wise (well, duh). Keep repeating the mantra - enjoy the now.

Because books.
Last summer I think wore shoes other than flip-flops maybe twice. Somewhere along the line I joined the Flip-Flop Cult.

I can't do them. Flip flops end up hurting my feet. In Suzi-World, they are only good for going to and from a pedicure.

I had a Bad Experience with flip-flops as a kid. It involved an unexpected 5 mile hike and four blisters the width of my thumb. I just can't bring myself to wear them anymore.

Flip-flops are usually the only sandals that don't give me blisters, but they need to have REALLY thick soles because I wear them out so fast.
