In response to my last post, I thought about it & came to the conclusion;after talking to an Alanon friend, that my statements were a little harsh. She lives on the same property that her mom does, and it seems to work for her. Anyhow, I have not changed my mind about having my mom stay w/ me at any time, but I do see where she might be coming from as she has been a widow for about 8 years & doesn't really want to live alone at all. I just am not the right daughter to have as a housemate. I am happy w/ my current situation.
To keep the peace, I think that I will not go into it w/ her--my decision. Now, this very minute my mom put pressure on me to get off the computer. My hour is not up yet! I wish she would quit getting on me. Boundaries. I have limits of my patience w/ her too.
I can't seem to get this done as I had planned as my mom is waiting. Do I really want to satisfy her need to have it her way today? I will slow down & think about it for a second; OK the second is up. I am going to finish this.
Today will be a good day. Even if I have to start my day over again & again. Say the serenity prayer. I can change me. I am going to be OK no matter what. I hope the worst is over as I can't take a day w/ perfect weather & promise to not go well.
What a great share Kath!! I emphasized its importance with a bowl of Tin Roof Sundae ice cream and I full agree nothings going to ruin that. Mahalo ((((hugs))))
