The exaggeration 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Baby grapes on our grape vine . 

Tomorrow my girl will be your 13th Angel Day. 👼

I got my first pay cheque from my new job yesterday. I was surprised at the amount . The ministry of transportation also approved to transfer my driver’s licence from a G to a B license. So I have to do the written test do all the practice with the school bus and then take the driver’s test.

It sounds like the difference between puppy love and a mature relationship with mature adults. I have been married 30 years and together almost 35, the crazy soul stirring early love becomes more mature and stable . 

Yay!! Hubby got his posting message today. Another year at B but thankfully another unit .

I tend to check on stuff like that too. I’m so sorry that happened to you. !

It was scary for sure. One was when I was 12 and the house had been empty for a while and we moved in with our mom and her best friend and her kids. Some guy walked in at 7 AM with a blow torch. 
 

Second time I was 17 and we had gone to the movies as a family came back and went into my room and some guy was crawling in my bedroom window. 

I have been having horrendous dreams lately, like violent gory horrific dreams involving family, family I love. Things that would never happen. 
 

I also am having dreams of home invasions at our house . As a kid we had people break into our house twice . It horrifies me so much I always triple check to make sure doors are locked before bed.

You and your mom both seem to be doing your parts to make this work.  I'm sure it's a stunning change for both of you.   

Thank you. It has been much better for both of us I think. I am glad I didn’t back down from my boundaries though. A decade ago I would have and just stewed in misery . I am so glad my 50’s brought me confidence and knowing who I am and that I am not being unrealistic or selfish in asking people to respect me and my boundaries. 
 

I also have misophonia so her constant need to fill silence with yapping drives me INSANE, I mean to the point of rage. So I asked her to please stop. 

My mom and I are getting along better . We have had our dust ups though. I told her to STOP complaining and whining and be grateful for everything and everyone we do have. Also stop trying to fill silence. Silence is allowable and necessary. 
 

I went away last weekend to see my husband and say goodbye to a friend who is moving 10 hours away. When I came back she was a changed woman. She has started participating and doing some clean up and arranging and getting her own coffee and washing dishes etc. It is a great change and I thanked her for improving the place from when I left . 
 

So thankful she has cheered up. 

There is a young moose walking around town.😵‍💫

39 years ago today I graduated high school. 😵‍💫

My baby boy. It is so hard to believe you left this world 17 years ago. It doesn’t seem that long . We miss and love you. ❤️

As someone that was sexually abused long before I was married I wouldn’t put up with their behaviour either . 

I would just not go. You are in the right here.

OP, is there some reason why she cannot get a part time job?

If I had to guess, this is why her rich dad isn't giving her more $$$, he's teaching her to provide for herself, in order to get on in the world, which means getting a job. 

It's what I did when in college despite my dad being a lawyer and earning a high salary.  And he encouraged that! 

What you're doing is preventing that from happening, you're fostering a mindset of dependency...

This is not healthy and can be quite destructive and I encourage you to stop. 

Yup. I had 3 jobs and full time university and slept 3 hours a day. If I could  do it anyone can. 

She needs a job and not to travel. Parents aren’t responsible for our education and life after leaving home. She is an adult now and work is what adults do.

You scared me into looking  at my calendar - whew, it's really not May 24th yet!  Not even in Canada!

It is also called the May 24, because lots of beer drinking happens and a case of beer has 24 cans. 🤣

Hahahaha we call it the May 24 or It’s official name Victoria Day, because it is the day we celebrate the Monarch’s birthday. So it is the weekend closest to the 24th but not after it .

Wonderful news! Sleep is heaven after going through what you did.

That is for sure . I had a great sleep last night and we got the AC fixed. It was a simple fix, the furnace needed to be reset . It was 81 F in the house . Ridiculous hot for Canadians . We were all pouring sweat and my mom’s asthma was crazy and my allergies were so bad. My sinuses under my eyes had swelled so much the fluid was coming out my eyes. My eyes were pouring water all day. That is gone now . My cats feel much better . We all do. 

Happy unofficial start to summer! 

Today is a bit better. I had a lot more sleep . Just my mom being in her own room is a lot of pressure off. I could actually get some real sleep. In a few days the proper sleep should feel great.
