YES. I yelled at it and it went away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Classic: My mother just called to see if I had accidentally taken home the necklace my father gave her. I started going through stuff, and finally remembered: He didn't give her a necklace! I did, but she had that one.

So my SIL's family managed to not call for my nephew's birthday, Christmas AND her brother announced on fb today that he & his wife are expecting this summer and her mother goes all gaga over a grandbaby to spoil, nevermind the 2 she's ignored for the last 5 years.
Now, PJ years ago gave up expecting anything resembling sane behavior from them, but it still pisses her off.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ooh, that'd piss me off too, sarameg, but the truth is she's losing out more than they are. It's been my experience that, in the wake of not bequeathing my kids much in the way of living grandparents, they've had a wealth of relatives and friends happy to shoulder grandparenting duties.

It's true. She doesn't bad mouth her parents and brother to the kids, but Dominic is catching on.

Just got back from mom and dads. For those of you who have not heard, SNOW IN TEXAS. like on the ground, and staying. of course my car was outside so was covered in ice and snow and doors were semi-frozen shut.
Mac stayed over with the grandparents, unexpected, but nice. I just hope that Bailey will do ok sleeping in his room alone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have been kinda strenuously arguing tonight, but I actually applied a lesson learnt from the internet--just walk away (after summing up how absurd you think the whole thing is).
I have been having fun saying "But that's not the truth --you can't alter truth. That's just how it works." People here trust me a lot, but I was also right, so it works out.
sarameg, was she always this way, from the birth of the kids, or maybe the marriage? What set her off?
Very headachey right now *and* I just discovered a dent in my head. How do you just get a dent: [link] ? My mother mentioned a "bald spot" when first she saw me, but that's the first I'd heard of it. I could have been walking around for ages with that...

Weird, ita.
Ooh, that's exciting, msbelle! We had a dusting, but that's it.

That's the best way to do it, of course.

Especially since you go to the barber fairly often.
