I believe when old Mikey did a thread on the subject, I was Fonda Dixx.
Using the system it would be Peanut Butter Elm. Not a sexy name...
OK off to my counseling session. I had a rough conversation w/my mom yesterday, so hoping she can help me with that.
My mom is an uber-martyr, victim-mentality type. I love her, she is my mom. But she honestly wears me out. She has to worry about everything. I mean, I really think she is incapable of NOT worrying. If I say I am going to Omaha "At this hour? It's dark. In the rain? It's windy. With this traffic?" and on, and on, and on. Like when I told her I was taking the kids to Chicago for vacation: "I wouldn't fly alone with two kids. Is your hotel safe? Do you know what you are doing? You aren't going to go walking around by yourself are you?" (Gee, no, Mom, the pedophiles and other sex offenders will be keeping me company...)
In her mind, worry/concern=love. She still calls me asking "Where are you? What are you doing?" all the time. I mean, it's not like I am a spy and I can't reveal my whereabouts, but it just really isn't her business where I am all the time. If I get cranky about it she always replies, "Well I called your house and you weren't home. I just love you and worry about you."
Her biggest fall back line is, "Well I just love you kids too much I guess." Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh And when that doesn't let her 'win', she reverts to crying. So hard to deal with sometimes...
Ok off to counseling I go. Then home. Have to do a report on Bosnian food--its origins, food staples, ceremonial meals, etc. Kerry you are the Web Master, can you point me to a good website for that??
