The Son now has a Room-Mate in my Studio Cottage, so since there are now two young Men living there I decided it was time to move the Mannequin Twins, Yazmin & Yashyme, into the Main House Guest Room. Otherwise there is the risk that the Guys might start messing with the Gals and dressing them up prank-style during a Beerfest... well, you know how Twentysomething Bachelors are when they're amusing themselves or showing off for their Female Guests. *Winks* I'm not so certain I'd be equally amused so to avoid un-necessary drama and to free up more room for the Guys I felt it was a wise move on behalf of the Gals and the Sanity of Yours Truly. *Smiles* Hey, ONLY I get to play Dress-Up with my Mannequin Twins!!! The Moment they moved in I was adorning them with various Rosaries and Accessories... Mannequins are like Big Gal Barbies!!! *Winks* So them moving into the Main House is no problemo really... Gramma will be playing Big Gal Barbies all the more now! *Smiles*
I know, I know, remember how I THOUGHT The Son was moving in with an old Girlfriend and OUT of my Studio... well, NOT going to happen anytime soon I'm thinking. Which is okay since Mom wasn't thinking that was such a good idea anyway... Love both of 'em, they're great Young Adults... but there was often trouble in Paradise the last time they shared space... just sayin'... and perhaps for once they listened to Mom's sage advice???!! *Winks* They're grown and can do whatever they want to, but if they ask my advice... they realize I am in Mom Mode and will speak Truth about any given situation. And after the Burglary The Son and his childhood Friend were concerned for the G-Kids and I being here alone while The Man is gone so much of the year doing Seasonal Work anyway, I didn't have much of a Peace about it either. And honestly, strong studmuffin Young Men can be a wealth of Slave Labor... ummm, I mean present Help and Protection *winks* around a large secluded Old property that needs a lot of work. I am most definitely working things out in Trade for the Guys taking over my beloved Studio Space! *LOL* Did I mention that the Son's Room-Mate and his Uncle are Plumbers... HANDY!!! If you have ever lived in a Historic Home you recognize how the Trades of Plumber, Electrician, Contractor can be either Music to your ears if you know one willing to hook you up... or give you a feeling of dread if you don't! *Winks* All I have to do is keep the Bar-B-Ques and Beverages flowing and remind Son & Friend what a good Landlord they have! *LOL* The Friend is like a Surrogate Son to me anyway since I've known him all his life, he calls me Mom and I call him to do anything I'd have The Bio Son do that needs doing... *Winks* Hey, after you've been Parenting kids in the house for over three consecutive decades you work it... I ain't getting any younger peeps and I've got over another decade of Parenting still to go 'til the G-Kids are raised! *Le Sigh* So the bigger ones, if they move back... I own 'em... they know they're in my Servitude! *LOL*
So, the Guest Room is beginning to look more and more like my Studio... and my Studio Cottage is looking more and more like... well, you don't wanna know... no, really, you don't!!! *Winks*
Dawn... The Bohemian
