I'm back. Spent last week in maternal visit hell. Love my mother madly; just don't get on with her terribly well when we're actually in the same place- for whatever reasons we set one-another's teeth on edge. Or even worse, she sets my teeth on edge

oh baby, i'm sorry about all that. moms can be difficult indeed. i hope starting tonight you can relax and forget about all of the bad stuff.

and forget the guilt! instead, try feeling virtuous because you spent 40 hours of vacation time trying to entertain your mom! you are SUCH a good daughter!!!

Your too good to me- I'm just being silly and feeling sorry for myself. Really, I should feel badly for my mother. She spent her time and money on a vacation spent with a daughter who viewed it as more of a chore than a joy, and did the best she could.

Have mostly recovered. Got a fat drink on Saturday night, and then yummy all day marinara sauce for spaghetti and meatball dinner on Sunday. Lovely bubble bath and house to ourselves, even....Not to mention getting to sleep in our own bed Saturday and Sunday after a week spent on the living room floor. Why complain?

Hope that all's well with you- haven't spoken with you in too long! Are you going to be around this week, if so, I'll give you a ring on Tuesday or Wednesday night?

Well, at least you got to spend time with each other.

Do give a ring! Would love to catch up with you!!

Pasta marinara sounds reeeally good right now.

If it were up to me, I'd be sitting at home with a big red and white checkered bib, a bottle of Chianti, a spoon, and the tub of left over sauce and meatballs shoveling food into my craw....

Of course, that would go directly against the resolution to be true to the weight loss program. Sigh.

Will ring soon! I'd say tonight, but if I do so it's like a guarantee that I'll forget or will go out and not get home in time to call...The time difference between us can be a real pain in the patooti!
