γειά σου Vivie Hi Vivie

No problem Hear again! was a bit surprised that's all..! Hope I can know you better personally although I'm jealous of you having bilateral implants..wish I could do the same!

Thanks for the add, Vivie! Hope you are doing well!

I feel the same..long week!! LOL!!

Well , that's the perogative of every mom in the universe..and when we're kids it's acceptable..but when it's adulthood..it's not...there is a bit of a line..try to abide by that! LOL! Your husbands are very right..my mom's sister was going to get a divorce anyway , but in the meantime her husband died..so she's a widow..and a happy one! lol! so my mom relates everything to her sister and sister-in-law ( her oldest brother's wife ) so sometimes I'm stuck..and my dad relates everything to HIS sister..and his sister isn't much of a nice person at all! Worse part , she lives 4 floors above me..and reports my EVERY move to my father as ammunition..when it suits her! so I dont trust her , and by extension my father too..one of my motives to at least to move away!

Yeah..but when you argue with Brittany..who's the referee? As for her dad..I relate to that!! My dad's a lot like that and he doesn't sees or accept it..lol! Nice haircut there Brittany..as for the coloring..aren't you a bit young for that ?

It IS too funny..I also can relate you with other stories between my mother and me , but you don't know that much Greek to understand it anyways..And at the time , she had in her mind the divorce fresh , and she was scared she was going to live it again! Theo is very sensitive too..but lately she's getting stronger , as her sister even if she's younger , she's sturdier and knows all her weak spots! so she trys to cover them! LOL! One time I was with them , they started arguing..I told them to stop it , or else..They both did..but Sofia while she was departing , mussed Theo's hair..with the result of a chase around the apartment! Another time Sofia was always in front of the tv , while Theo was watching her show.Next thing I know , Sofia came in complaining that Theo hit her in the arm with the tv remote..I of course removed the remote and forbid her to watch her show , and made Sofia say she was sorry and she wasn't going to the toy store with me..You can imagine their outrage and complains! Since then they know the limits , and they still do annoy each other , but only in the extent that I think acceptable..LOL..they don't listen to their mommy , but to me! every time I visit her mom has a list with their biggest bad deeds ...LOL!

Yeah , Theodora , is an common name here , and means present from the god..My Christian name means good fame ..but it's hard to pronounce , so I go about my nickname..from family n friends!

Hi Brittany! I was only Christened , and when I was born , my mother did not want to give me the christian name I had , she wanted another name..and I was christened and named when I was school age..LOL! That is good that both your parents know and trust your godparents, I have the same relationship, ( I have two sets of them and one set of them are already relatives ) with mine, although I don't see them as often as I'd like.
It sure seems like a big event for you and an memorable one for your sisters! It was your decision to get christened?Do your godparents remember the traditionally Chocolate egg and wax long candle for easter , along with clothes and shoes or some money to buy yourself something ?
Yes , I did told her , and I think it will do you good , both in health and in mind , and you will get to know your family there a lot better!also , summer weather here is offering a lot of opportunities for baths , seasides , etc , and generally have a good time.And when times get harder , I always draw on my summers vacation with or without my family for strength , so you need to build that emotionally.and you are happy there.But , as a mother , the decision is ultimately hers , and she loves you and cares you for your wellbeing , not to mention that she'll miss you terribly! so trust her.and I do think she is happy that you alone love your time in Greece and make friends and see family.You have a long time to reach the decision , fall is just started.I hope you do well at school.Do you go to Greek school in the afternoon or not at all ? Do you know any Greek ?

LOL! Brittany sure seems determined to get her own way! How is Samantha ? have you reached any decision about her ed?Hug and kiss all your girls from me! Yeah they're lucky , and I love them like they were my own kids , and they do know and exploit it sometimes! LOL! Have a great w/e yourself!

Oh My, it has been crazy here..I am so glad it is finally the w/e!! Time to take a break, ya know?

I am very embarrassed to say that I'm prolly like your mom..I am very close to my sister and mother so they tend to know everything that goes on with my kids within a few minutes of it happening. I can't help it tho, my sister is my best friend. She moved two years ago and lives about an hour and a half away. We still talk on the phone constantly! Our husbands joke that they each got two wives.

Funny how the mom always gets to be the referee. Brittany's father comes to get her every other w/e and there always seems to be something that I have to smooth over for her..he doesn't like her new hair cut, or she has gotten it colored. He really IS a stubborn mule. (He always said I was when we were married, haha)

Poor Theo, I know how it is for her. I have been married to my current husband for nine years, but when we first married Brittany was like that. One time our lawn mower was broken and we all went to the store for the part to fix it. Brittany asked where we were going and he said,"To get a part." She thought we were going to get "apart" and started crying hysterically. Looking back now, it was too funny. At the time I felt really bad for her. She has always been my sensitive one.

She has a cousin in Greece that is getting ready to marry a young woman named Theo!

From Brittany - HI!! I was just named, not christened. When I was born my father already had two children that were named after his parents. Since my mother is American, and he says since I was a girl, he told her to name me what she wanted. I was baptized in the Greek church when I was 12. My little sisters still talk about the day they went to the big church and watched me take a bath. My Godparents are so nice to me. My parents have known them for years, they said for a long time before I was born that they wanted to baptize me. I actually got to see them when I was in Greece and flew back to the states with them! Please tell my mom to let me spend the summer there next year!!

OK, enough from her, and I just told her I will think about the whole summer in Greece...Have a great w/e Vivie..Hug Theo and Sofia, they are very lucky to have you..
