Portia,

My goodness what a time you are having.

I am sorry to hear of your Dad's news about his leg. This must stress him and the whole family. Couple this with your own troubles and stresses and the atmosphere must have been ripe for explosion.

Please treat yourself kindly Portia. You are only human and as such have limits. Be careful too, that in shutting up you don't bottle up. That's not a terrific long term solution. smirk (Speaking from experience here)

Regarding the vm. Goodness, what timing. I think your plan of texting him and regrouping is excellent.

You aren't alone in the messy world either. It is something I struggle with as well. While my house will not be on hoarders anytime soon, it won't be on "House Beautiful" either. I have many strengths, but housekeeping isn't one of them. And that's ok. Its ok for you too honey. We don't have to be perfect, right?

smile Take care of yourself Portia.

Btw, do you ever cruise the alternet? Jaye DB wink was wondering...

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow.
What you stop.
And what you reinforce.
