They made the decision to build the outhouse with out my input!

And while I was away for the weekend!

The gall! How could they? Wasn’t my phone working?

I tryed to hide my disappointment and anger, but I couldn’t. About all I could do is keep my mouth shut and keep moving away and hope that they just left me alone to digest all this information.

And. . .

Why was I upset? I should be proud that they took the initiative and made the decision.

I should be happy that they made the arrangements and got the job done. And they did a great job too.

They are growing up and, God willing, that is what we are all blessed to do. Grow older and wiser and braver. And I want to be grateful that they are.

But. . .

They could have called!
