Bella calls these wishing stems. She finds them in the yard, at the park and at the forest preserve. She even finds them for me. So we have been wishing for all kinds of things lately and spreading dandylions in the process.
My MIL has been homw for about a month now. We had a go around at a local restaurant recently where she insisted she "wanted her friendship back" Well why did you destroy it in the first place? She will not accept that I have requested that my daughter not be left alone with her husband and claims I have a "problem". Well if protecting my daughter is a "problem" then I guess I have one. I tolk my MIL that I felt she owed me an apology for what she said on Christmas night and she claims she never said that. I say she did, she says she didn't does that make me a lier? She told my husband that I yelled at her at the restaurant-I could yell at her but didn't. She then wanted to know if she could have Bella every Monday this summer like she did last year and I declined ans she was not happy about that. I do not feel I can trust her. She then went into a big go around about how awful her childhood was. Lets trade stories and see who wins. This past Saturday my MIL called and wanted my add-a-pearl necklace so she could add some pearls, is this her peace offering? Why would you want to buy anything for a person with a "problem" who you think is a liar and who yells at you. I feel like she is being very manipulative of me, my husband and my child and I have had enough of it.
I had my friend Chris over Friday for dinner and we had a nice long talk and she showed me her pictures from her trip to Africa. I have really missed the friendship we had when we worked at the museum together. Hopefully we can keep it up. I know she has been having a rough time and I probably should have been more supportive.
On Saturday I could feel depression spreading over me like a blanket. I did not want to do anything, I was really cranky and tired. I spoke to my friend Lorretta on Sunday and I am feeling better.
we had a landscapter come over and give an estimate on doing some work at the front of our home and it will be nice to have that all looking better. I am not sure we will have enough money to do the back too, we shall see.
I loved the article in the Midwest Living Magazine about mosiacs. I looked up instructions and Bella and I are going to do some stepping stones.
Yesterday I had jury duty. I sat in a room at the court house with about 100 people from 8 in the morning to about 10 min after 2 when they released us all. I had brought a book to read, but ended up talking to the ladies at the table I was sitting at all day.
After I picked up Bella from school and gave her supper I took her and the dog to the forest preserve. We really enjoyed are walk there and the kid and the dog were all tuckered out when we got home.
