It took me a long time to say to my mother what I was thinking. Now that I'm older and not talking to her for 12 years she knows I don't hold back, well I try to be diplomatic but I get the point across and it's done. Told her as soon as we started talking again that if either of us had an issue we'd talk about it. So far it's working but I've held a part of myself back as I don't want to get hurt again.
I don't blame you for not wanting to be hurt again. My husband and I each have certain issues with our moms, and each others moms. Does that make sense? My mom is extremely opinionated and will say whatever pops in her head. Her filter is broke. I've gotten much better at standing up to her but has taken me years to get this far. My husband will never stand up or correct his mom. That's just not him. I have in fact been very blunt with his mom a couple of times over stuff he should take care of but wouldn't so I did. I told him one day she's going to say the wrong thing on the wrong day and if he doesn't do soemthing about it I am going to pop and can't' promise I'll be nice. LOL
Thinking about my day. Woke up feeling ok. Got my grandsons jacket in the mail so...I drove 65 miles because I just wanted to be the one to give it to him. 2 hours with the boys and pizza and I'm still good. Walking out to the car I realized I'd be stupid to drive home so my daughters friend did. Home and in bed. I think sometimes our brain processes things that are important to us and that overrides everything else. I'll see tomorrow.
Glad that my daughter did most of the cleaning I asked her to do today once I got home from work. The house is pretty clean and I can sit and relax for a while. Now waiting on my son to get off the computer and do his share.
I hate it when that happens. I try to write everything down in my head going on even if it doesn't make any sense and it's a jumble of words. Debating on either a salad or shake for dinner. Choices, choices.
