Recently, during my trip to meet Liam, I discovered one of my Grandmother's old travel journals-it was a really great reminder for me why it is so important to record your memories. We got to read about her trip across the country with my grandfather about 12-13 years ago. She wrote about visiting us in Chicago- where we ate, what we were into and ( Read more... )

So it is October 3rd, and the last time I updated about my own life was August 18th. It seems I got myself caught in a whirlwind of an unstable boss and stressful work situation, as well as paddling all the time. The month of September was a busy, crazy, wonderful month. Before I begin though, which will nto be too detailed I'm sure- I just want to ( Read more... )

At that telling 50 th birthday party, she said nothing to me about Mom, but now I know when it started. When we tried to discuss exactlly what was going on she cut us (Gary & I) off and insisted that she knew what she was doing. She got extremely defensive. I didn't know why then, now I know. Yes, Marie, there is quite a history. But your right, ( Read more... )

Yes; I was directed there by Carolyn. It was very upsetting to me. I have known what my Mom was doing with Nana's money since she began, and how happy she was making Nana, because she was able to secure her future and her payments at Applewood. I know right now you are thinking I don't know the whole story, or I don't know all the details. I also ( Read more... )

sunday I went out to watch the girls finished. I wanted to be there to show the team that I wasn't still sour from not making crew..and they seemed to appreciate it. I tried to press down my jealousy as they came in and feel good for them, and I think it worked. I have to remind myself that there is plenty of time to do plenty of things. Afterward ( Read more... )

I have so many typographical errors..I was just reading over some old entries where I said things like "I heart my back really bad" and "this was a big time to talk about the race"....their not even words being misspelled and misued, they are just plain incorrect. I think it is a sign of my fingers not typing my thoughts fast enough, and I'm always ( Read more... )

Mom came and left, we had a good visit in the end. A lot of fighting and bickering...a lotof underhanded comments, but it takes time. The last night was a good one. It was the first time in the whole trip I felt happy to have her here with out feeling stressed. I mean we had a lot of fun together watching army wives and big love,going to the Dole ( Read more... )

I dont know why my Mom likes to hurt me...I don't know why she wants to make me upset, while also spreading lies. ButI guess she needs a reason to feel important. She had found some statistics somewhere that Hawaii has more 10x the SIDS deaths, and she says it is because of the VOG and the air..but these are things she decided before she came out ( Read more... )
