Aw, mac. Don't be hard on your mom.
It's good to see you, msbelle, grumpy or not.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I told you thank you, right Amy?
It's really just annoying. he's so self-centered right now and everyone else's wants are way way secondary. So when we really need to do something we give in to him, but the rest of the time while we are working on his skills, no one really gets what they want. I have made it crystal clear that I will have the T'day food I want and I WILL watch the parade and the Cowboy's game. much more than that I am not going to force.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What Amy said, msbelle. It's good to see your pixels..

You did, msbelle. I'm sorry he's being so tough right now.
ita, eating leafy greens will make your mother *happy*. Don't you want her to be happy, and not worry? (When you become a mom, the guilting app is built right in.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
msbelle, it's good you can come here to let off a little steam.
Kathy, I love the hair. It took me 10 years to find a hairdresser in DC, and I'd pay double to keep going to him. It's something you don't think about until you see what a good one can actually do.
PERKINS! HOUSE! ALL ASSCAPS! CONGRATS!
ita, your mother antagonizing you is her way of forgetting about her health. Either way, I don't think you're going to win that discussion.

One of the scavenger hunt items is a picture of a cat eating kale. Maybe we need to get a picture of ita ! eating kale to send to her mother.

Listen to your mother, ita ! As long as she's worrying about you, she's not worrying about herself. She needs to do the right things, but not worry about herself.
he's so self-centered right now and everyone else's wants are way way secondary.
He sounds like several of my adult relatives.

msbelle, I wonder if you could baste your turkey with a valium solution?

Perkins, how exciting!
msbelle, it is nice to see you post. I'm sorry it's hard. I hope your food is awesome, and... I'm quite sure I've never said this before... I hope your Cowboys win! Gulp.
I am officially in Pennsylvania! I move in to my new place on Sunday. Very excited.
Vent:
I love my mother and my sister-in-law, but I swear to god, I had barely landed here before they started pelting me with questions about what I had with me to move in with, and where was the rest of my stuff, and I just.. DUDES. Let me be excited, please, and yes, it sucks that I don't have every piece of furniture I need, but just leave it! I don't have kids or pets to take care of, it's just me! And I don't need much! Want? Yes! Need? Not a lot. And I will build slowly. THEY MUST CHILL!
I actually said pretty much that, though, and they stopped with the questions. I know it's just worry, but, really, food and shelter and work. All the rest will come.
