As the years go by and my kids are 26 and 22; grandie is 2 1/2, I've gotten much more selfish! I've been a single parent (and grandparent) for 26 years now and I do deserve some time!

I do admit that when my son was 19 I just left a note on the fridge: "Gone to JA - call you when I get there!" He freaked out and called his friend "What do I do?" LOL, feed the dog, let him out, go to work, don't burn down the house, Jeez!
