Hello and happy Saturday!
So this seems like neat idea...here is my thread.....
I am leaving today for (hopefully) sunny and even warmer Ft. Lauderdale....just about a five hour drive. Looking forward to some rest, relaxation, the beach, quality time with my daughter who will be leaving soon for the Navy. We didn't get off to a great start yesterday.....it was Friday, I called her on my way home from work, asked her if she wanted to run out with me to pick up some last minute things, got to the house...she came out to the car and off we went. Fast forward about an hour and a half later...we get home...I walk into the kitchen and to my surprise I find the tea kettle bubbling on the stove!! She forgot to turn the burner off before she came outside prior to us running errands. Thankfully my house did not burn down....but I did get upset. I told her it was a stupid thing to do....probably didn't need to say that to her....but heck, it was!! Anyways.....after much brooding on her part I think she is feeling better. I told her I was not calling her stupid but what she did was stupid.....I dunno, is that the same thing? I think this incident will hopefully open up some dialogue and bring us closer. Have a safe and wonderful weekend, everyone:-)
