Good morning all.  Still working on getting everything packed up from the hutch, desks, shelves, etc, that the carpet layers will have to move.  Also have to get everything off the floors of the closet.  The problem is, where to put everything that I am boxing up as I have no idea in what order they will lay the carpeting. Keith, I know exactly how you feel about your soon to be ex SIL.  In Nov., my DIL left my son and grandson, completely out of the blue.  2 weeks later, she was home, and they decided to go to marriage counseling and my son was following all of the advice that was given to them and doing everything that Leah wanted and he really thought things were good.  Monday, she started talking again about not knowing what she wanted.  My son said he just looked at her and told her that if she was planning on leaving again, to just go ahead and do it, but he wanted her to know that if she did, it would be the last time.  He wasn&#39;t going to continue putting himself and their son thru this.  So, she did leave.  I think she is at her mom&#39;s, who actually is staying at her brother&#39;s because none of them are responsible enough to be able to live on their own.  My son and grandson came over yesterday afternoon and stayed about 4 hrs.  I was talking to the munchkin and I asked him about mommy.  He said &quot;she moved&quot; and I asked him if that made him sad and he said no.  He was supposed to go spend the night with her last night but he kept telling his dad that he didn&#39;t want to go see mommy.  I actually hope he didn&#39;t go, because he goes to preschool and they were going on a field trip today that he has really been looking forward to.  He normally has to be at school at 11:40 but had to be there by 8:15 this morning to go, and I just don&#39;t think she will get her lazy butt up and take him.  The reason I said I understood Keith&#39;s comment is that when I told my 75 yr. old MIL, she said that it sounded like someone needed a butt kicking.  She said &quot;I might get knocked down, but I&#39;ll get back up again&quot;.  My son said it is sad to think of all the things they will never do together but I think he is handling it better than  last time.  Even though he was totally taken by surprise, he is now of a mind, that it is better to end it than to keep doing this over and over and let him and Scotty move on to some normalcy in their lives.  I was just watching the press conference where John and Elizabeth Edwards were announcing that her cancer has returned and the drs. said her stage 4 cancer is treatable but not curable.  I am not a supporter, but I do wish them the best in their fight and will be praying for her healing.  Well, guess I had better get back to my work.  Hope you all have a wonderful day...
