bea... yes! I love your post. That's exactly how I feel...
I rocked the boat... a little. This skank feels so entitled and perfect. And.. so I called her out. Does it mean anything. Probably, in the grand scheme... no... however.. she is so used to everyone going alone with her.. crazy. It felt good to put her out there.
But now.. you called it.. starve the drama! That is so right on. I am so far from the drama at this point.
I can see clearly now...
It feels really good.
How many degrees of separation?? Who knows, but the more, the better!
uR, thank you, thank you! The puddle jumping analogy.. brought the biggest grin to my face! I love that! It is such a great analogy of what I am feeling. And right now... before I looked at it.. I feel as if I jumped a great hurdle.
I can't explain it any differently, so I know you are feeling me, uR. I have jumped a MAJOR hurdle!
I am sooo far away from it.
Well, more than I have been. So, I know it's progress.
I think of things differently. Back and forth.. but, I my thinking has evolved.
I feel so badly for people who have to really deal with younger children. Kids who have no say. Whom they have to give up to the op. Who they have to send to the mlc'er w/o the kids realizing the difference.
I just can't imagine sending my kids into that type of situation...
My kids are doing really well. That drives me. I just want to do so well for them.
