My personal hero isn’t perfect and she’s not afraid to admit it. I love her.
An admission of regret is NOT an apology, New York Times.
How could someone not have told me when the memorial is?! Nine days notice? Really??
Never could understand how families could fall apart following a death but I think I’m getting a glimpse as to how it could happen…
Someone must be either short Nintendo… or have a very tiny data plan.
you could have stabbed me in the heart and it would have been less painful
Thank you to the bike rider who found the cell phone and called ‘Mom’.
I wish someone would have found my son’s wallet… The one with hundreds of dollars in it… AND taken it to the lost and found, or looked us up and returned it. NO SUCH LUCK.
Thanks to the very honest people that really do exist.
One major problem done with. Why don’t I feel relieved? Could it be the guilt he hit me with at the very end?
Well, I wish I could be upfront and tell you that a cleaning crew did all this work today for the party you are throwing here Saturday, but I really don’t want to deal with your reaction. That assumes you even notice the house has been cleaned up. OTOH, not telling you increases the odds that you continue to minimize the challenge I face in keeping the house going and working two (and sometimes three) jobs.
But let’s put it this way: I’m going to hire them again. It was nice to have someone help get the basic cleaning done so that I could focus on the other things that I never have time to tackle. And now tonight I have time to finish typing up the board minutes, paying the bills, working on my consulting gig (which will pay for this service) and making my niece’s wedding veil.
I volunteered to “do my part”…not the whole thing!
DH: I love you dearly, and I have purchased the tickets at your request. But I really hadn’t planned to spend our anniversary having deep dish pizza and watching Ghostbusters in IMAX 3D. That said, I was able to reserve us 2 center seats, purchase one ticket at the senior citizen price (for me) and an additional $3 discount code worked. I really hope you appreciate this.
Oh, and DH, I understand why you didn’t want to go out for a quiet dinner tomorrow. You have been at a 3 day offsite meeting being wined and dined. I understand. BTW, I had cereal for dinner.
Well, the only thing you noticed was the clean stove that I scoured for an hour, and which you’ll have filthy by the end of the weekend. Not a peep about the rest of the public areas of the house (and believe me, dear friends, there is a noticeable improvement from this am). And the lecture about how I should “know” what you want for dinner and my failure to make the sugar snap peas was just classic.
Last week you said I need to bill my time doing fabtic art and consulting a way that reflects my value. Yup. I’m making improvements on that. More importantly, I would be satisfied if you appreciated my value. Unconditionally.
Happy Birthday, @MaineLonghorn!
Happy birthday, MaineLonghorn! Happy anniversary, jym!
The pay is awesome. I’m not sure dealing with your lack of organization is worth it. I have some decisions to make for next year.
When will I learn that I can’t always assume good intent? I’m such an idiot sometimes.
Okay, I will admit it…I wish to heck you wouldn’t go to this event. No, we don’t want to give in to the bad guys by changing our lives…but on the other hand…it seems to be ground central for these type of activities.
I didn’t know you that well, but you were “like a mother” to my husband, and I know you stepped in when his own mother passed away. You never failed to greet me warmly like a long-lost daughter and always asked about my kids. You walked the walk when it came to giving back and your children’s lives reflect the kind of person you and your husband were and how well they were raised. Rest in peace, sweet lady.
Marriage is a long, hard slog at times.
