OK, I didn't work last weekend, for the first time in ten years (except when I was pregnant and after my son was born) I wasn't up early and at my job by 8. I am so so very happy to have quit that job. Like you probably know by now, but this was a crappy crappy weekend. Not entirely but for the most part. I took my dogs out with my friend that was good but for the rest of the time I had no idea what to do with myself. I missed my boy and it was just no fun. I went to see my mom and she was in a criticizing mood and spent an hour telling me what was wrong with my home and my life, I can't say that was fun. I am almost 26 years old, will this never stop. She even started talking about how mean she must have been since I decided to move out when I was 19. Moms can be crazy, I plan on being good crazy, not bad crazy.

My son told me today that when he grows up and has kids with his wife (for once he didn't say he was gonna marry me) he would let them trash their rooms and he was gonna buy them all the toys they want! I'm gonna remember that one...

I met my sons stepmom for the first time today, just a quick hello and a short talk about him. She seems very nice and hugged him before she left. When she went to the car his dad said a few words to me before he left and my boy looked at me and asked me if I didn't think she was fabulous? I said yes of course, he adores her so that's good enough for me. he just says the oddest things sometimes.

My brother is moving to Italy for the next 6 months, he is my best friend and we talk on the phone for at least an hour every single day, I don't really know what I'm gonna do when he leaves! there will probably be a few depressed posts here! He is leaving next week!

Life is so odd sometimes, and wonderfully depressing.

    Hey Helga, from the things you've said previously I would never have taken your mom for the criticizing type. I am so sorry. I am going to try to remeber that, too, with my adult sons. It is a little hard to turn off when they have screwed up badly, but being critical never really helps, I do know that. And you seem so reponsible. What can she possibly have to complain about?

    Anyway, remember that you also are quite a fabulous person.

    Take care.

    she often talks about what I cook, I am a vegetarian and I hate cooking but that doesn't mean I don't do it. she just thinks I have hot dogs and hamburgers every night (vegetarian of course)... I know I am not the type of daughter she wanted, she loves clothes and looking good and putting on make-up and I don't. she said when I was a teenager that she wished I'd want to take a make-up class with her and go shopping, but she got a daughter that wants to watch sci-fi and read classics without make-up and pretty dresses. she is also kinda mad still that I moved out when I was 19...

    I'm sorry. This makes me think of my own sons. I think I currently have the most in common with my oldest son. There was a while when my middle son was very remote and that hurt. I think it's better now, but we'll see. I usually feel close to my youngest son, but he acquired a girlfriend last fall, and I hardly saw him at all during the holiday season, and that bothered me a lot. I asked him to come over and he would come very late or for a short time only. Well, they are young men, so I am trying to be patient. I would prefew to visity with someone who was fun rather than critical or angry.

    As to your mother, you are good to see her side of things, Helga. I'm sure that you wish she would listen to you talk about your interests, or accept you for who you are, and maybe realize it's time to forgive you for moving out....

    Well, we will have to cheer you up while he's away. By the way, mothers will always be mothers, no matter what age.
