Alright every one I know I said we decieded against it, but things changed my daughter left for Florida last night. It was heart breaking to see her go BUT I know she will have a good time and I know she is okay with my parents. A few things changed our minds - First I was able to find plane tickets really cheap the catch is I leave on a Monday and come home on Tuesday. Second was because of these tickets she will only be there for a week. I really feel like this is a learning experance for all of us. I know that every one is excited to see her and I know that I am excited to have a week off. I don't know what I will do with my self but it should be nice. She had a GREAT flight and is doing very well right now. She is soooo happy my mom has dogs and had found her self a new friend in both of them. Mostly Buddah - he is her size LOL. I talked to her on the phone this morning and she said doggie doggie doggie and bye bye moma. My mom said she didn't want to talk she was too intrested in her new friends! Anyway I just wanted to up date every one thanks for you advice on the first discussion I appreciate ALL of it!

Hi I would just like to say that I thonk its great your daughter goes to see her grandma, Im a bit more lucky because my mother is 14ks away so not to far. I have two boys one of two and a half and the other four months and if I don't go to see my mum every afternoon the two and a half gets on his push bike and says bye bye me nanas, so I don't have a lot of choice but to go, I don't mind he plays in the garden with the doggies and has quite alot of fun and thats what we are here for to give our children all the fun and help in the world.
