If I could ask my mom just one question today, it would be something related to my not being able to see my grandchildren. I would have to carefully formulate my question, a simple “what do you think about me not being able to see them?” would probably result in a simple, “I don’t like it”. I’m more curious of her thoughts about my ex’s attitude and if she thinks it’s influencing D1 and D2’s behavior.

My ex’s is always telling anyone that will listen, what a good relationship he had with my mom. I truly feel my mom would not tolerate his current behavior and would say something to him. Would the question be “are you angry at him for not fostering a better relationship between D1, D2 and the grandchildren?” or it might even be “would you have said something to him about his attitude?”

I know in my heart, this must hurt her pretty bad.

Megan is not the only child of mine having a birthday, D2’s birthday is 2 days before hers. I wanted to send her a card but I don’t have her address. Since Megan got bitched out by her father for forwarding a Christmas card to her, I didn’t want to put Megan in that position again. Funny thing, D1 didn’t have a problem with it.

My thoughts have been with D1 this past week. As I also remember my mom, who would have turned 80 on July 5th, Kasydi would have turned 1. See Tears.

It always seems to take more time to catch up after being away, then the actual time away. As for the tournament itself, I didn’t bowl as well as I had hoped I would. The lane conditions them self were not that bad, I had trouble adjusting to the environmental conditions the first day. The air conditioning units in the center were capable of handling 250 – 300 people, not close to a 1,000. It was very hot and stuffy, which in turn, caused my thumb and fingers to stick. I worked through the “sticky” thumb (that was caused by torn skin on the knuckle) but the swelling in my finger joints was difficult to overcome. I think I’m coming to the end of my bowling “career”, looks like the joints are back into a degenerative phase as again.

The trip is self was fun, I hung out with a couple of the other ladies I was bowling with. Thanks to Nüvi, we found our way around. Even took in a Detroit Tigers game, wish I had taken my camera, it was a beautiful stadium.

Think I may have to pop over to my soapbox blog and post a “Memo to Managers”. Then again, I assuming it would be followed, let alone read.

I should also put a link up for my neighbor’s website, he’s running for Mayor!

Quick update, don’t you love how things get lost in translation? Turns out we are in a very nice Extended Stay Deluxe instead of a Delux Inn & Suites. Only “problem” is the air freshener used in the rooms is a bit too strong for me.

Bringing the Garmin with me was a very good idea. I didn’t bring the camera this time, I was already carrying my laptop – I love the Vera Bradley messenger bag! I was afraid it would be too small for my 17″ MacBook Pro, I have been pleasantly surprised.

Now to decide if I want to ride with the other ladies to Canada tomorrow.
