Daughter is feeling fine. She''s sleepy all the time and not getting a good night''s sleep. She did sleep well last night according to her "status updates." And wouldn''t you know...this is what she linked to to break the news to her friends...

Hahaha Liz. Yep, you and then SDL were the first to know. Aren''t you proud of me for keeping my trap shut? Dang that was so. hard. to. do....


My daughter and her DH were calling me incessantly one night while I was out to dinner at a new wine bar by myself. Earlier after my appetizers, a table with two women my age invited me to join them. One of them patted the empty chair next to her and said ''Come join us...tell us your story''. So I joined them and we shared our stories.


I finally answered my phone and my daughter said she was at my house. I told her where I was and she asked if I was on a date. I said ''no, but I have some new friends I am having a drink with...''


DD: Well we have something for you.

Me: Oh. Really? Well, I''m not there. Can you leave it on the porch or something?

DD: Um, not really. Well, we have to go to DH''s Dad''s house for dinner and so we will just drive by the restaurant.

Me: Okay. I''ll be here.


Five minutes later the phone rings again:

Me: Yesss???

DD: Mom, can you come outside?

Me: Huh? No. Just come on in. My new friends have heard all about you. You can meet them.

DD: Okay.


So in comes my DD and SIL with a gift bag and I introduce them to my friends and then she looks a little puzzled and it goes like this:

DD: :::reaching for the gift bag to hand to me::: Well this is sort of personal.

Me: :::puzzled look:::: Personal? What is it...a ________?

:::::Laughter and rolled eyes::::::::


So I leaned back cautiously to see what is in the bag and I can see it is a book and I lift it up from the bag and all I see is the title:


''The Granny Diaries''


And then I scream wildly, jump up and start hugging her and all I remember is saying OMG, OMG,OMG REALLY??? Then tears and more hugs. Then I hug my SIL and say loudly...''OMG, Thank YOU!! OMG, they swim!! Oh, thank you!!''


Then I realize that everyone else that was eating in the place is looking at us like we are crazy and we have disrupted everyone''s meal. So I blurt out loud ''I''M GOING TO BE A GRAMDMA!!''


SIL: I told you she was going to make a scene.


Then I hugged her again and felt something in her sweatshirt pocket and she pulled out the pee stick.

Then after we all dried our tears she says


''Mom, you can''t tell ANYONE!''

This is just toooooo funny and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
We should have a SCal PS get together and celebrate with champagne!

 

[miraclesrule]

Thanks again everyone!!!

Zhuzhu, we do need to have another get together very soon.!! Thank goodness that I was at that restaurant with those two women because after my DD and SIL left to go tell his father and have dinner, I was able to share my giddy excitement with some other women, one of whom was a "never in your life guess she was a grandmother" hoot.

So I immediately asked our waiter to "Please bring us a bottle of your cheapest champagne"

It would have sucked to have been home alone when they gave me the news, just to run off and leave me even more alone with no bubbly or anyone to toast with. Boo...

 

[zhuzhu]

For real, we definitely should!. I don''t think I have your email, but will get it from SDL and maybe we can all come up with a good plan?
