Still Tryin's new thread

[S.T. _I Made It!]

Nikki,

about your mom...that is HORRIBLE I feel so sorry for her. That's got to be scary too and I'm sure it helps fuel her negativity too!

Hey, speaking of your mom. Have you ever asked her why she thinks she's different from her mom? I've told my mom several times that she is headed to be just like my gma! She hates it. She sees it too. I told her she's gonna get worse because she's partially quit her realty work and tryin stocks instead..meaning, she has NO reason to see people! Not a good thing. I also think that people who are "stuck" in their homes and aren't around other people (especially positive people) will only become more and more negative. Especially if they watch tv, because that is all you see anymore. Both my gmas are like that, but I really don't have a problem talking to them...it's not too often though, maybe thats why!?! how terrible of me. oops.

So maybe you could bring something up if your mom talks about her own mother's negativity, and you can say, do you think you'll be like that when your her age, or would you like to be like that when your her age...and follow up the answer. or something. I don't know. With men, it's better to use action, but I think with women, we are better able to understand spoken words, if done in the right way.

About the weekend. well. not much, playing at church (was denied singing on the extra songs- they've never heard me sing though- and I didn't even get upset! very good for me) and then getting ready for a consignment shop for kids. I have a TON of stuff I could sell, so I'll be making a little money. That's about it. wish I had something fun to do. But I don't have anyone to go out with, and I need to get my back better anyways. Hopefully my mom will keep the two boys (if the s2 cooperates) and James and I will have a good time alone for a couple days. Wish he didn't have to work though.
