Just when you think you have all your ducks in a row…along comes a goose!
As you know, hubby and I sold the home we had raised the girls in last year and bought a sweet little fixer-upper, just for us. We spent the last year fixing it up and were uber thrilled with the results. Wow!!! We could walk around in the nude, if the mood struck us. We could lounge in the fantastically relaxing Jacuzzi tub, jets blasting -- with the door wide open. Who was going to question? Who would even see? No one!!! It was liberating to be able to just let the jiggly bits jiggle, untethered and unashamed.
We came and went as we pleased. No more checking to be sure the kids were taken care of…they all had their own lives and neither wanted nor needed our constant input into their lives. It didn’t take nearly as long as one would think to get over the empty nest syndrome. Our nest was ours and ours alone and we had it feathered just the way we liked it, thank you very much!!!
And then…along came a goose, in the shape of our beloved 12-year-old grandson. Due to some absolutely heart-wrenching upheaval in his short little life, he has been placed in our custody on a temporary basis. Don’t get me wrong…we love him to death and both of us would lay down our lives for him in a flash…but…I raised three girls, what the heck do I know about raising a boy? Especially a twelve-year-old boy???? Talk about one very intense life lesson! Did you know that boys eat at least ten times more than girls of the same age and that they really do not like it when their Nana kisses them goodbye as they get on the school bus? Well, I know now!
He is great though. Keep in mind that we live in an adult community and have been given special consideration to have him with us for the necessary time and he truly fits in here like an old glove. He keeps us in stitches with some of the things he says and does. For example… “I’ve decided to not go to Bingo tonight, Nana…but tell all the ladies to have fun without me. I just think it would be best to have an early night, since I have school in the morning.” This was said with all sincerity…I swear I didn’t let the chuckle out until I was well out of earshot. This kid is 12 going on 50!
My office now houses a bed with six (yes six) pillows, a masculine comforter, one lovely little boy and a dog…a dresser covered with lego creations, binoculars and baseball stuff…an old desk holds an equally old computer filled with games for his enjoyment, but no internet connection…the floor of the closet holds piles of treasures in the form of legos, pirates, dinky cars and board games. And I sit tucked in my desk chair at the bottom of my bed…I used to think this master bedroom was pretty big! LOL
Life certainly has a strange way of waking you up and forcing you to take notice of what is important in your world…the jiggly bits are just going to have to be patient for a while longer!

News from Jojo's place
Okay, so my life has gotten crazy lately. BUT I am determined to make Friday MY day. My day to write, promote and let everyone know what's going on in my world. So I will do my best to blog every Friday even if it means I have to run into the library and use their computers.
My newest story is out in the world and if you are looking for a fun sexy read you really need to grab a copy od Golden Fox and the Three Behrs. I am snatching minutes where I can to work on the next sexy tale...Little Red Running Shorts. Of course I have more in this fun series planed in my twisted mind. LOL
But...you may ask why I have to snatch minutes and worry about how to find a computer. Well, we sold the house we've had for the past ten years.Part of me says YAY while another part is very sad. I watched my two youngest daughters grow to be strong, beautiful women in this home. I threw parties in the yard for them as they graduated from grade school and high school, sent them off in gowns I had sewn for them in my office to semi-formals and proms. This is the only house my 11 year old grandson has ever known his Nana and Grandad to live in. These walls hold so many wonderful memories, it's going to be hard to hand over the key next week and walk away. But the couple who bought it are well known within these walls, as they are friends of my daughters, have been married two years and expecting their first baby. So, these walls will be filled with more lovely memories.
We bought a mobile home and are in the midst of totally changing it. We're moving all the interior walls to make the bedroom and bathroom bigger, turning the kitchen/living room into a nice eat-in kitchen...changing the 10 foot wide addition into a 12 foot wide addition to house the living room entry hall, storage room and of course my office. But, wow there is a lot of work and more surprises than I could have imagined! We already took the bay window out of the kitchen and put it in the bedroom (had to take out part of a wall to fit it through the bedroom door) that was fun! Yesterday we discovered that the whole roof needs to be replaced...did you know that when plywood rots from being wet it falls apart and flutters in the wind like tissue paper? Well I know that now! And of course, just as we were trying to cover the exposed roof with a massive tarp gale force winds picked up. I now know what it feels like to go para-sailing. I don't think it is a sport that I will be taking up any time soon.
More good news, My middle daughter is going to be a first time mom in September. Everyone has been calling the 'bump' he and saying its a boy. Well, she had her second ultrasound and guess what? It's a girl!!!! Yes! I am so thrilled! I can't wait to spoil her rotten. So, that's something else I am trying to snatch minutes for...knitting! I have a pile of white and pink yarn and a stack of baby patterns.
There are just not enough hours in a day!
Have a fantastic weekend everyone! I am off to find some hidden minutes.

Not your kiddies Fairy Tale
I was told that shapeshifters and menage was hot right now and the moment I heard that my mind flew to that good old tale when one, two and three of the characters state...someone's been sleeping in my bed. Well, if you know me, you know where my mind went then!
Golden Fox and the Three Behrs is the end result of that little trip down memory lane. This is the buy link... http://tinyurl. com/23d3zl4 (without the space)
Tara, the pampered, blonde bombshell is a witch with a problem. She is hornier than a raging bull named Randy. Her grandmother has a solution...go for a walk in the woods!
The Behr men are from an old sleuth of shapeshifters. Unbeknownst to Tara they have a shrouded cabin in the woods.
As the sun sets ans the shroud falls the fun begins!
I had a blast writing it and hope you enjoy it. I am working on the next Sexy Tale...Little Red Running Shorts. I'll keep you posted on its release date.
Love Jojo xoxox
