Leeham Rimes you’re not an idiot. It is SO HARD. One of my favorite pieces in my therapist’s office says “healing is not linear”. Keep trying. You’re doing a great job.

Thank you. Mine says the same thing. I feel more loved here than from my parents so, thank you.

Leeham Rimes you’re not!! It’s so hard to have a “difficult” mom. Treat yourself to a favorite snack today. And give your boys extra love. That always helps me when I’m dealing with the after effects of a bad interaction with my mom.

Yes! I snapped at them so much yesterday, I feel terrible.
X wants a snake for his birthday so we’re looking at one that he’s had his eye on for a few weeks.

All the stitch fix talk- I am going back to work and need real leaving the house clothes. I tried a first box and told myself I could only keep one thing because I had credit for signing up.
I kept two things.
And could’ve talked myself into more if I had any money to spare
It was nice because I really have no idea what is in style? I go into stores and just give up before I start because the kids are whining
Yeah, I definitely like what they send me and I'm not sure I'd always pick it out for myself! So it's nice to have some one else select it for you :-)

Ok now let’s not get crazy lol. I literally just last night had a nightmare about a small snake in my bed. No snakes for me.
My father in law passed away last week and now there is major family drama. His first wife, my husbands mother passed away when he was 62.
His new wife of 12 years told us only pictures she is in can be used in the slide show. No pictures of him with just his kids. None of their childhood. None with deceased wife.
He lived 85% of his life without you in it lady.
I hate her.
I'm sorry for your loss. I wouldn't let her dictate this. I wouldn't participate in her slide show, no pictures and I wouldn't be there for it and I would do my own memorial and slideshow without her.
Unfortunately that is not an option. We are putting a smile on our face for the funeral to celebrate his Father’s life and hope to never see her again.
I had a horrible weekend. I let my mom walk all over my boundaries like an idiot yesterday. She compared me to my father when I told her her house was so messy I don’t know how she functions and I STILL helped her with the documents her lawyer needs. I should have walked out. I’m so upset with myself. She clearly still doesn’t want to hold him accountable for ruining her life and literally leaving her destitute but I say something about her trashed house (which she’s always had this issue. She’s a pack rat) and I’m the bad guy.
God I’m an idiot. I’m such a fucking idiot.
One of my favorite sayings is: Yesterday is heavy. Put it down.
I have to remind myself of this every time I allow my family’s nonsense to interrupt my well-being. You’re not an idiot. You’re doing your very best in a no-win situation. Take a deep breath, shake it off (I have to literally shake things off), and do something that makes you feel good today.
And bless you for encouraging your son’s interest in snakes. You’re a braver human than me.

Can you gather some pictures and have someone put together a video or album for the rest of the family? That would be a nice keepsake without having to create waves.

Ha! I love snakes. Love love. We got a really sweet girl.
for some reason, in the context of your parents this feels very symbolic. It sounds like you’ve already put a lot of your love and energy into a snake.

Definitely a better and more mature way to go. I don't understand people who behave this way.
We took today off from the beach and my mom’s like “I have some extra fabric I’m going to make a quilt” and we ran errand, came back, and she was halfway done! It’s just the top, but dang. I did not get the sewing gene.
She also cut the sleeves on a dress and hemmed them for me for work. Loved the dress, not the balloon sleeve style.
Now I’m on pool duty since all the other adults are napping. I’m not sleeping well here for some reason. Still trying to see how Elsa goes and if we’ll get rain later this week.
So far Donny has destroyed a large package of butcher paper and two remote controls. We clearly underestimated his ability to get to stuff. Our pet sitter is so patient lol. I mean, it’s our house and our stuff, but she still has to deal with the aftermath. He haaaaaates his crate, but I’m out of sympathy so he’s going to have to go in there while she’s out.
I spent almost $100 on a sheet set from West Elm for my late cousin’s daughter’s birthday, but it’s so freaking cute I don’t care. It’s watercolor unicorns and she loves unicorns. And she sleeps in my childhood bed at my grandpa made me so it feels fitting to give her sheets.
My Fix is on the porch waiting, lol. So far I have gotten the most incredible pants and dress. I’ve been 0/2 on skirts, but I’m picky. Tops have been lovely but some are just more than I want to spend so I look for similar at Ross, lol. But if I just go to Ross or Nordstrom or wherever I get overwhelmed and end up with crap - my stylist is awesome at “getting” my taste and body shape.
XH asked me to get the kids early. I’m so discombobulated. I had planned to help bf do some projects and then I was going to shop and prepare for the week. Luckily I got to spend lots of time with bf before that and he’s staying at my house tonight.
We went whitewater rafting on Saturday with friends and it was a unique experience. The most dramatic parts of the were the safety demo, in which “Mamma” threatened to paddle us (from her Rascal scooter) if we didn’t listen and basically strip searched us because we were bringing snacks and extra layers on the river (it’s 45!) That was foreshadowing for the bus ride, which included such gems as “COVID cured the flu!” and a whole 10 minute spiel about how it’s a hoax and “I have a video on my phone!” It was $18, which is like 1/3 of what it usually costs and we had the best time ever so we’re going back. Totally going to film the next diatribe so I too can have a video on my phone 😱🤯😳
