The Grownups/9/13/10

Went to the movie this afternoon with Joan, Julie and Jacob to see the Grown-Ups with Adam Sadler. Dumb as a stump movie but since we were the only 4 people in the movie, we laughed and laughed. Then went to Steak and Shake for dinner. Julie doesn't like this job either so she is quitting it. She will never find anything she likes. What she would like is for someone to send her a check to the house! That comes hard.

Annie is having gall bladder surgery tomorrow. I get home from movie and Jennie calls to say she will be out there all day with Annie--that should be a great time for all--and Bailey calls to say that she is driving up to take care of Annie. Deliver me from the drama of it all! Maybe Bailey will call me while she is here but if not, life goes on.

In the meantime, I will stay after my book, keep my mind on pressing forward, and stay out of the line of fire from "collateral damage". That is really what grownups do!

Joan and I were laughing at the ad on television about the mother wearing a lime green shirt that belonged to her teenage daughter and then lying about it. Joan said that where she was raised mothers were taught to tell the truth and not be portrayed as being on a teenage level. Not the case anymore.

I will watch the final episode of the season of "The Closer" and deal with all of the damage later. Or maybe not at all!
