LWB, that's probably a good way to look at it--I'm giving them the gift of my presence at T-giving! \:\) Corey, thanks. Puppy, you are so sweet. That was really good to hear today! Hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Spent 2 hours at the L's this am! It seemed kind of pointless to me too, she was going over the expenditures in H's checking account. All stuff in the financial affidavits we already have except for H's restaurants and Starbucks. I've told her I don't go out to eat or restaurants like that several times so seems a waste for me to sit there while she does that. She commented twice on how passive I am and how she hopes my C is helping me be more assertive. I told her I am actually a lot less passive than I used to be!!! And truthfully, I didn't say but was thinking that my L needs counseling more for her aggressive personality than I think I need it! She is not speaking to her daughter (or her D not speaking to her) so she isn't having T-giving with her family, and everyone rolls their eyes when I tell them who my L is.

Then she proceeded to tell me I should be working on a career which I'm not b/c of the kids. And that I may end up a bag lady. She asked me if I'm prepared to be a bag lady. I looked at her and said 100%, my kids are my no. 1 priority, so I'm fine with that. Then a couple minutes later she was saying I want to be a bag lady or something, and I said, no I don't want to be, but if that's what happens b/c my kids are no. 1, I'm ok with that. The L and I are like night and day, just total opposites. I can't wait until the D is over!!!! No more Ls in my life ever!!!! Karen
