It is nails and toes day - so i get to hang with Holli for a
bit. I was going to stop be the LSS but I'm not sure. Not much
else going on. I'm tweaking my packing for New Orleans which is
going to be C-O-L-D. Need to figure some things out. Trying to
keep it light.

It's monday and Community College starts today and I'm not
teaching!! It actually feels good. It feels good not to have
every minute of everyday planned with something that should have
been done the day before. A good lesson for me. Even though I
love to teach...it was too much time. I need to focus on my
family first.
Today is home schooling and not much else. I need to clean, but
that will wait until tomorrow when the little one is at school.
So I think I'll scrap! Oh yeah! Feels soo good to scrap just
to scrap, not for an assignment!

I'm up ... with a few errands to run today, hoping to get out of
the house for a bit. Who knows what I'll get done, I never
truly do until I start really moving. Had a bad phone call with
a sister last night, being the baby of the family my sisters
have many opinions on how I should be doing things in my life
right now, and they aren't afraid to be bullies about it, so I
listened on the phone while she preached and commanded, then I
got off the phone and cried for a bit, it just gets old when
everyone has an opinion and never feels like you are doing
anything right. I need to remember that it's my life, and I do
not need to do anything they tell me to do.
Oh ... and there is a winner in my giveaway ... go check it out
and see who needs to send me their mailing information.
Have a great day ladies.

Oh Tania...that soo sucks, especially right now when you need
the support. You MAY have to just thank them for their
opinions. And if that doesn't work, share with them what it is
doing to your relationship with them...share what kind of
relationship you want...and then agree to how thinks will look
in the future.

Thanks Janet ... I know I need to be a bit more upfront about my
feelings with how they are treating me, and I'm hoping I can
make it happen soon. Thank God neither of my sisters are close
in proximity to me right now, that could make it more difficult.

I am sorry your family is doing that Tania. Many times they
just want the best for you and are afraid for you. Having you
close by might make them feel better, but you need to do what's
right for YOU, not them.
I think I will be moving soon too, not looking forward to it but
finding it too hard and too expensive to keep up with the house,
the yard, the pool, etc. and work full time. My kids try to
help out whenever they can but they have their own places too
(except for DD#2, she lives with me). I am trying to keep an
open mind and adjust to the changes being made. My parents are
up in years and need me to be close by so I won't be going too
far away.
We will see.

Thanks Sherrie ... I know they want the best for me, it's just
hard for them to step back and realize I'm an adult and though I
am hating all the decisions I've had to make and the changes I'm
going to make but sometimes life just throws us those curve
balls. I'm sure I won't please everyone all of the time, and I
may make a few unpopular decisions as well ... but I just have
to do the things I think are right for me and for Morgan.
