everyone much nicer

[Zoe Girl]

I had to just share that my family has been much nicer in general lately. This is welcome right now. I can see how much more stressful it is when we are all just grumpy and unkind. I am making an effort to get home in the evening more often rather than going to meditation more since it is pleasant to be here.

One thing is that I talked to my oldest daughter's boyfriend. I told him about the legal issues so he knew why I may be stressed or grumpy, and my daughter tends to take it personally. In the conversation I found out he has noticed my daughter's challenge with getting things done. This was good because we both came from a place of real love and caring, but also shared some frustration that her talents are not getting used and she is not moving along with her goals. I heard from my other daughter that my oldest was asking what kind of DR she needed to see about ADD meds again (silent cheer). So I am sending info through the sister, I guess I thought my kdis remembered more since I trained them in the whole process of seeing Dr's, paying a co-pay, going to a pharmacy, talking to Dr's about symptoms, etc. Not just a passive process of figuring they would pick it up but using all my teacher skills to get them ready for the world. But as a teacher I know sometimes students need a lot of repetition.

Glad to hear that things on the home front are easing up a little. I was reading earlier about your foreclosure issue and I wanted to tell you I admire you so much for your courage to face things head on and deal with them because that is the kind of person you are. You WANT to do the right thing. I understand about the stress of all this, AND working, AND dealing with ongoing kid issues. You have so much on your plate but you come across as a competent, very caring woman. Please keep taking care of yourself as well as you can until all this stress is but a memory somewhere down the road.

Thank you SiouzQ, It is not easy to handle this so it is much easier with feeling some support from my family.

Well that's good news! Maybe it's Spring?
