I need to get it talked out, get it off my chest. <br />Not always the best decision, but for me it works.<br /><br />I sort of wish that I had your forgive/forget attitude. Might have gotten me into less trouble!<br /><br />Cheers!Karyn-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441864113888457036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3299557482858328213.post-41870708216110344032010-09-01T17:55:32.614-07:002010-09-01T17:55:32.614-07:00I am so glad today was a better day.

I sure hope so.Be safe out there.

Sometimes we just need to vent. <br /><br />Maybe at a later date you can let Stephanie know that you were hurt by her lack of respect and lack of thanks. Otherwise how will she know how you feel? But certainly, I wouldn't say anything if that would lead to your relationship with her or your Grands being cut off.

I don't think it's the healthiest way to live but it works for us because we make it work. <br /><br />The thing I feel most sad about is the lack of greeting, or otherwise, hugs especially where the boys are concerned. We are not a huggie family and I take the blame as I'm not all that comfortable with hugging more often than I like to admit to. I watch others hug and feel slightly envious yet it is a habit that can be developed. It just takes a little more effort.<br /><br />Nice to hear the day ended on a god note.MargieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591436464085450834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3299557482858328213.post-69345279603847410162010-09-01T14:51:16.315-07:002010-09-01T14:51:16.315-07:00such a mature response!!..good for you..glad to he...such a mature response!!..good for you..glad to hear that all is well in your 'little neck of the woods'..go and soak up the sun..love that song!!!Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.com
