BM's mom is dying. She's 83, had another stroke, came home for a bit, and they just readmitted her today for congestive heart failure.

This woman was miserable to me, and hated me, and made sure that SD knew it. Also - the whole family had the "pack" vibe, and used to say nasty stuff to SD about me and make derisive comments about DH. Of course, she let DH mow her lawn and plow her driveway until BM got a new boyfriend, and I was in the picture... but until then.. he was great!

Need help trying to "teach" a life lesson...

I need some help trying to explain the difference between letting SD know that it is OK that she "knows" she is pretty, but it is NOT OK to express it, or tell people how pretty she is.

SD has grown up into a beautiful girl. It is interesting to go to the mall with her, or anywhere, and see the looks she gets. She is very pretty. I am happy for her that she has grown up.

Hey - I am getting ready for a pot-luck supper tonight at our apartment community and I am bringing along a really good baked beans recipe that my husband got from his ex-girlfriend before me! Smile

It's a really good recipe. It serves a lot of people and everyone really loves it. Just wanted to drop a note on the general topics in case anyone wanted to check it out!

Hope you enjoy it!

Important Days...

I just read a post about a father not being with his child on father's day ... and the mother telling a 5 year old that her dad "didn't want her"... and then there was the whole discussion of whether that was PAS or not...

That brings up the point of this blog and my question to you ladies...

Priorities

I have read a lot of blogs / posts / responses about priorities... and I have been trying to think of mine..

And I have come to the conclusion that my priority is different every day.

I could say God first... but I'm not a very good Catholic. I try to live a good spiritual life, and be a good person. .... but I also know that according to the Catholic Church, I think I might be considered a "failure" (too many sins that I don't want to admit to on here...) Anyway... I can say that God is very important to me.

But the rest... ???

I know this sh*t is frustrating and crazy. I know that we are all a bunch of screaming banshees sometimes.

But PLEASE... Please do not shut the site down or take it off or anything like that. I know that I am not innocent - by any stretch.

But I cannot tell you how much of a public service this site is.. and how much we all need it.

Yes, even when we are venting screaming banshees... we are relieving stress.

Even when we are taking some of our personal life into our ST life, and possibly taking out frustration on each other... it's a public service.

Interesting lesson learned... related to anger, hurt

Some of you may have seen my recently (deleted) posts...

Let's just say I'm hurt... and because I'm hurt.. I'm angry. And because I'm angry I'm lashing out with words that are not like me and actions that are not like me... and taking up time and space in my head... when it shouldn't be.

And all over relationships that have been short-lived and not in real life... but online.

While I am sad... I just would like to maybe point out to others that when BM is being a complete idiot, there's more than 1 possibility.

1. She's an idiot.

Prom Day - Happy Friday Ladies

Today is SD's prom! DH has been away for 8 weeks for work and was supposed to be gone another 2, but just flew in for the day to be able to see her off.

SD had a little breakdown last month, worrying that her dad wouldn't be here for her graduation, etc. So he decided to fly in. He got home at 11:30a this morning, and leaves at 8:00a tomorrow! But we have him until then!

We are going to all be having fun, helping SD get ready. Even BM is coming over to share in the festivities!
