Seems...Yeah, your blogger buddies are on your team. Seems like it "counts" as "interacting" as B. said but I know you need more. I'm glad we can be there for one another. <br /><br />"If you are ill, need forgiveness, or lack hope, then pray. Ask for help from others so they can pray for you. Confess your needs to one another because the deeply felt prayers of believing people have a powerful effect."<br />James 5: 13 - 16<br /><br />I want to extend compassion to your mom who is no doubt fatigued and stressed but she should communicate in a more straightforward way and refrain from conjecture about her granddaughter. Perhaps her comment suggests that SHE isn't happy about Christmas spilling over a week. It's not reasonable to pin it on a toddler who will enjoy another get-together as long as she's well, rested and not over-stimulated. "The more the merrier."<br /><br />If you can find a way to address your mom with the assistance of Dr. Mind, it might be a huge step forward and lead to greater peace and understanding. Good things are happening...<br /><br />I hope you've had a helpful vet appointment today and soon will be snuggling with your loving kitties.<br /><br />Your friend, MichalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-58786046759469752242011-12-31T10:37:41.993-05:002011-12-31T10:37:41.993-05:00p.s. if Dr. Mind cannot fit your mom issue into t...p.s. if Dr. Mind cannot fit your mom issue into the schedule, I volunteer (raising hand) to see what I can do. You know, as one-mom-to-another? I could explain to her why guilt trips are not a loving way to treat a daughter. I could try to give a lesson in Mom 101 complete with homework and a final grade (you do remember I am a teacher, right?) <br /><br />Kidding - kidding... oh boy, and I said I was gonna get rid of the snark. <br /><br />B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-30526807944162315492011-12-31T10:31:32.671-05:002011-12-31T10:31:32.671-05:00EgggggggsACTLY!
Little Anne has no concept of Dec...EgggggggsACTLY!<br /><br />Little Anne has no concept of December 25th - duh mom. I do wish Dr. Brain would intercede, call her out, and tell her what's what. But until that day, you can count on what Michal says as truth - you are a wonderful Auntie and Anne will just be happy to see you. The gifts are a bonus. And a big GRRRRR to your mom.<br /><br />This IOP thing is irritating even to me! For Pete's sake... any possibility you can transfer this responsibility to Dr. Brain and/or Dr. Mind. I mean, gee whiz, why should you have to do this. Aren't you the patient?<br /><br />I have been doing MAJOR dog-sitting for family for over a week now and it IS nice to have dogs around once again! I know you wanted to get back to your cats, and I know you are a wonderful pet owner - no need to feel guilt. I'd be more curious (rather than guilty) as to what kittie got herself into. <br /><br />Does "talking" to us here count as "interacting"? I wonder... I am supposed to stop isolating too - I am kind of a hermit.<br /><br />I will read more after I "see" to the dogs. They are barking and need their Aunt. Ha! <br /><br />Oh, and sorry for the snark. I will try to be better.<br /><br />BeckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-67836369113068478842011-12-31T01:33:47.929-05:002011-12-31T01:33:47.929-05:00"Christmas:" Just taking a minute at th..."Christmas:" Just taking a minute at the keyboard after my Celebrate Recovery meeting to tell you that a mentor of mine told me that kids' Christmas memories are not affected by switching the date. Many times this is necessary because of separated families but the kids have the fun and the photos and don't worry about the date. Your mother is...ridiculous??...(or something) to suggest that your niece might not "enjoy" the day! What a silly (or worse) thing to say! Please don't let it trouble your pretty little head!<br /><br />You're wonderful Aunnnt Jen no matter what the date. And you come bearing gifts, and fun and love!<br /><br />xoxo MichalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
