I agree to send that pic in to the station.

Not ready for reality to hit so hard!!!

Kathy how are you this morning? How was your weekend?

 

[zipuzee]

Morning all! I really didn't want to get out of bed today. What I really want is for this week to be over. Our computer person at work is on vacation, and I'm her back up . And I really don't know all that much, so I'm hoping that its a quiet week.

Bethany - cute picture. Glad you were able to control her reactions to the shots. Also glad your headache is better.

Lori - welcome back to the real world. Hopefully things will start to flow once you get moving. Can't wait to read your TR.

 

[TigerKat]

Kathy how are you this morning? How was your weekend?

I'm OK. Without boring everyone with details it's still very painful. Thanks SO much for being such a good friend.

Hoping you have a quiet week! I'm so glad you've joined us on the WFD thread.

I was hoping Lorie had checked in, wondering how the weekend visit went.

Afternoon Y'all,

Welcome Home Lori!!! I'm going read your TR after I finish here.

Bethany, I know a good vet, if you're considering changing. It's a good friend of my daughter's, she's over here on Barataria. My cousin recently changed to her, because of some problems with her dog's health. She absolutely loves her. Her dog is 9 yo and she said he has never had as thorough of a checkup as the one she did.

Woowee! Was it a great football weekend or what?! Doesn't Monday feel better when the Saints & the Tigers have won?!

Speaking of football? Kat did you realize there is going to be a Saints game the Sunday we'll be in WDW? Bob is wanting me to skip the wine seminar we booked to go watch the game at ESPN? He asked if we'd have any other friends/Saints fans to go with?? You booked anything for 11:00 am Sunday?

My house smells so good right now, I have bread baking in the oven.

It was a great weekend. And yum..I love the smell of bread baking. Best smell in the world!

Hey y'all!

Sorry I haven't checked in- I spent most of yesterday laying around and napping. The emotional strain of this visit really took a toll on my body...I was just sore and so tired I felt like I could have slept a week.

Unfortunately the visit was not one of those Lifetime Movie reunions. There were no blowups, but it was very tense and awkward, as I thought it might be. She (they actually, my stepdad came with her) was three hours late, having been out late at the casino the night before and was hungover, so, uh yeah, some things haven't changed. I was royally ticked at her tardiness because my niece and I were just sitting there waiting as the minutes ticked by getting more and more upset. When she did show up it was clear she was there to see my kids and didn't seem too interested in seeing me or my niece, whom I felt really bad for. Maybe she was just nervous... I don't know. She did bring gifts for my kids and left Christmas money for them. They stayed for about four hours; when she left she said goodbye and that was it. When she said goodbye to Todd she thanked him for taking care of me. She said she was going to come on Sunday to visit some more because the visit was cut short. Sunday came and went- no call, no show. She called late last night and talked to Todd (I was asleep) and said they decided to leave a day early. And so that was it.

I thought about this all day yesterday and thought all of this time that I had moved on without her; I guess she has moved on without me too.

Sorry to be a downer, but it is what it is. I am sad about it, I won't lie...but I have to keep moving on. I really need that Disney trip now!

We've talked about it and Johnny definitely wants to see the game so he'll be at ESPN but that's the only day I have to spend with Lauren so I'm spending the day cruising the booths with her. I'll be calling for updates though!!!!!

Oh hush up with the downer stuff... I can't imagine how you must be feeling as I've never been in your shoes. All I can say is that it is her loss. I can't fathom not wanting to be a daily part of my child and my grandchildren's lives. There is nothing I can say that makes any sense. Continue to take care of your family and being the wonderful, loving Mom and wife that you are and everything else will work out.

Thanks Kathy. I stopped trying to make sense of it a long time ago....I'm not sure what I really expected from the visit, but it reopened some old wounds that I wasn't prepared to revisit.

 

[FloraFauna]

Lorie, I am truly sorry your mother's visit opened up some old wounds I hope you know you are a great mom to your two children and you won't end up like her.

I am sorry for your niece too. Its hard for young people to realize the mean and uncaring things older people do.

And, I agree you definitely NEED a Disney trip now.

 

[shovan]

Lorie, I'm sorry it didn't go as well as you hoped. I know it must hurt. Well now it's behind you & if she should ever decide to come visit again, you'll know where she stands. Knowing what to expect might help make it easier to deal with.

Kat, I'll let Bob know that Johnny plans on going! I wonder what he'd think about hanging with Johnny while I went hang with y'all? Hmmmnnn.

There's going to be a bunch of WFD peeps cruising the booths that day. Wouldn't you have time to go to your seminar at 11:00 anyway, the game doesn't start until 1:00?

Our seminar is at noon. I screwed the time, you're right, the game will start at 1:00. But someone needs to arrive early at ESPN to nab a table. I'm not real sure I want to do ESPN for a game, it can get ugly with opposing fans in there.

Oh Lorie- I am down with you. I am so sorry your mom is like that. Sometimes I think we have to choose to have a relationship with those we love that isn't too personal, IF we want a relationship with them at all-if it is not destructive for us.Then other relationships with family are really good and healthy. My mom and I have a wierd relationship and so your story about your weekend just hit me. My mom and I are not too personal at all. She has a lifestyle that I don't even want to hear about-or rather, I can't hear about as her kid. Blech, can't go there(where's the barfing smilie?). It doesn't sound like it can a healthy relationship for you and your mom though if it upsets you like that......

May is less than 8 months away! Erik will be wanting to meet Mickey and Sienna will be needing a Mickey fix like her momma and daddy!

[Terry36]

Well Parent Teacher conference was good...I really like Ursuline and Aly is doing excellent. I think she is fitting in nicely.

My house smells so good right now, I have bread baking in the oven.

Oh bread....yum.

to you Lorie, of course you are; this is your mom and no matter what, in our hearts, we want to have a relationship with them.
