Oh, I'm sure she'll be fine, but it is exhausting to cook a big meal only to hear that it is "icky" or "you know mama this isn't very good".
The REALLY fun part of this phase is how they change their minds about what they like every two minutes. My mom sent me this Calvin & Hobbes strip 7 or 8 years ago, and it's been on the fridge ever since. (I'm pretty sure she copied it out of an actual book, since I can't find a bigger version online.)
[edit: SORRY for that weirdness! The original URL from Google Image search was apparently too long for one post!]
How hard for everyone, Matt. Has your mother been able to get some rest?
I'm not being terribly productive at work
Same here. I have done nothing but play and answer an occasional email today. For shame.
I'm starting to get a wee fearful of how isolated I may get from the world if I move and live alone again.
Where are the places on your list? Sometimes looking at the 'things to do' calendar in a destination city can inspire you as you can visualize going and doing stuff with people.
Now I really want to see the link since I am a huge Calvin & Hobbes fan.
So that's what happens when you copy an image link directly from Google search. Link is fixed now!
