Well the nunnery let me have a lunch break so I thought I'd check in...
Just dropped kids off at daycare (nice they didn't go till lunch time, spoiled kids!) so I can go to counseling in an hour...
Getting things together for my yard sale, I really hope it doesn't rain this weekend! I want to offload as much crap as humanly possible...
Sister called last night about her H. He has given her his phone, she already has access to view calls/texts online, the ow has been texting but he has not sent a single reply. Good. He also gave her his fb password and has gone in and blocked ow and all her friends. Again, good. She worries how she will ever trust him again I said it won't happen in a day, consistent acts over time...I steered her toward the Infidelity forums again and Puppy...not sure she'll look though.
Enjoying some texting with a good guy male friend. Nice to be reminded that they do exist!
Old lady alert--I have been so excited to see the Swallowtail and Monarch butterflies have landed, their caterpillar babies are starting to turn up in my flower garden which is my favorite part, going out each morning and counting all the caterpillars. Kids love it too.
Ok that's all the news from Lake Wobegone for the day...

If I don't want to be a doormat, I have to get up off the floor. (Courage to Change)
I can't... HE can... I think I'll let HIM.
I loved these comments. I have been being the doormat. Love little quotes like this. I didn't do anything wrong in M. I know that I did the first time but not this one. I let her use me, walk all over my, cheat on me and I just ignored it because I wanted her to love me again. She doesn't she love herself and drugs.
Yep, yard sales are a pain. Deducting is easier, but I like having the 'found money' for vacation. Getting $150-200 spending cash for vacation seems more guilt-free than taking that money out at an ATM...
Spend an hour rambling on with my IC today about FOO issues. Amazing that my mom's extended family has such a hurricane of drama and yet I stand at a distance, watching the storm with a mild sense of detached amusement. Seems a little 'wrong' but hey I'd rather be amused by it than be stuck in the middle of it! She wants to talk next time about being wary of the 'allegiances' that will most likely be forming within the family, how to handle that, etc. She is once again amazed I came through the childhood experience intact and relatively sane.
I chalk it up to faith in God and a conscience that (usually) makes me do the right thing even if the family wants me to do something that fits their agenda. I notice the older I get, the better I get at staying out of the situation...
