I know this time of year it's hard to think of benevolence beyond our immediate families with so much to do for the holidays.  But I'm reaching out to anyone that might be able to help ( Read more... )

I have been really pissy the last couple of days.  I am an extreme extrovert and spending three whole days virtually without seeing anyone just does something nasty to me.  I have been really bored.  I'd try to work a while then I 'd try to do art a while, then I'd clean a while.  Just wandering from one activity to another, never really feeling ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my birthday and I was alone all day.  I didn't receive any cards or gifts.  My kids called me and so did my grandkids ( Read more... )

When something that consumes the minds and thoughts of everyone I'm around, even if we aren't actively speaking of the thing, it just wears on me.  Everyone who calls me asks how Laddan is doing.  When I'm with Laddan, we try not to talk about Julia, but we both know that's what we both are thinking about.  When I write anyone, I feel like I don't ( Read more... )

This is one of those days that you just wish was over.  Laddan and Julia said their good-byes last night and he is so heart-broken.  I havent' been able to get him off my mind all day.  When your kids are grown and they hurt, you still want to comfort them just as you did when they were little.  But you just can't, especially a young man.  I feel ( Read more... )
