mehaner - 2013-04-18 7:53 AM also, FYI, my mom has decided that i am a bad person.  so i have that going for me!

 

Marilyn, sorry to hear you are struggling with your mother still.  I hope this improves for you in the future.

i do not see that happening.  she wants to be a victim.  i am tired of that game, tip-toeing around her emotions constantly.

My ex is more in the controling way then it sounds like your mom is butone thing I did that really helped me was going to Al-Alon meeting with a friend. Just they way they deal with people is amazing and it really helped me. It sounds like you are already doing some of the things on your own but it basicly comes down to steping away with love.

Sorry to hear that. From what you say here, you certainly try to forgive and rebuild. She seems intent on tearing you down.

That's emotionally difficult; my dad and I have a dysfunctional relationship. He's jealous and resentful that I've done better than him and tries to put me in my place or prop my cousins up above me constantly. Asks how much I make, how much that costs, why did you buy that, mine's better, etc... I never mentioned this to my wife and after the second or so meeting together, she asked me about it picking up the vibe.

It's hard to handle. You have company.

Company attendance today for my business unit 50%.  My dept is setting the benchmark with 85%.  Now just need Fed-ex to deliver the specimens and the phones to stop ringing as there is no one here to answer them.

Morning Cheri.  Just a wee bit of flooding and standing water. 

As for the ark, the more the merrier.

We got heavy rains yesterday, but the flooding seems to be farther east of us.  Hopefully no injuries or major problems with the flooding.  I know some farmers were worried that they would lose what they just planted.

Glad I have no where to be today until a Happy Hour get together... my boots/suit pants/jacket are STILL wet from being caught outside yesterday. 

Meh - my mom & I get along a LOT better when we're in different countries, and preferably different continents.

Hi Yanti.  I never know if you are 12 hours different from us or more.  Just nice to see you pop in from time to time.  Did I miss your race report?
