Talk about a battle of wills.
Yep, I hope they both survive the two weeks.

So glad you enjoyed! Livy told her mom today that she wants to stay a couple of more weeks...her mom told me that Mama sounded really tired (ha!). I always found astrology to be very helpful also in understanding personalities...that's all I ever used it for...a true natal chart is very interesting and a good astrologer fascinating to talk to.  It's like all that stuff...I have just as much reason to believe in it as not from what I have seen so far when I look at serious information on it. As always, thanks for reading.

that was delightful! I've gained alot of self understanding thru astrology, and your description of a taurus and an aries bull and ram was certainly accurate and cute...well cute sometimes

I only had one child myself and then Olivia lived with us for the first year of her life so I was really worried if I would be able to bond with Jaden at all, but it is starting to happen...but my Mom has that feeling with Jaden, that feeling of some connection so it might not have anything to do with time spent.  I'll be curious to see what happens with this third one!

That's funny you say that --I hear that a lot from parents.
Surely you can't help but love all your children unconditionally, but there's some who have some pronounced something that makes that connection moreso than the others.

Thank you, sweetpea.....thing about that child is, I look in her eyes and I see some part of me staring back out at me....I do not know why because she is not at all like I was....but there is a connection between us and always has been.  I love her little sister, Jaden....but Olivia is like my breath to me.

Oh, my.
Livy sounds a good bit like my niece. What a trip.

Funny stuff and as always, very well written.

I'm tellin' you, I get in trouble because I laugh! Mama gets just as pridefull and bullheaded....it's unreal sometimes! Mama just thinks (she really does) that Livy has a streak of evil in her - and I agree, a streak of Jackson(Mama's maiden)blood!!

Thank you! Mama gets so upset at things that are really my daughter's and son-in-law's fault because they haven't raised her with consistent discipline.  Of course, the rest is pure genes!!! Glad you can relate!

What a great story...These two sound like they'd do well
With their own Reality TV show.
