The holidays were nice. We had Christmas eve with my inlaws, Christmas
day at home and then yesterday (Friday) at my mom's. I have to say
that my hubby and I did alright for the kids on Christmas even though
we are a little short on cash because of the house. Of course the
house is very worth it..dispite the Ants.
My mom is raising my brothers son because my brother has more
important things to do than be a dad.....ridiculous. My mom already
said she couldn't splurge on my kids...because she has to take care of
my nephew. Now my parents are pretty well off so don't get a picture
of a struggling family. I was already prepared for her to over indulge
on my nephew (she has for quite sometime) but I wasn't prepared for
how little my kids would get...which was fine, but am I wrong to be
hurt that my mom did nothing for Tristan. Material things arent' that
important, but I would have been happy for her to even give him a
rattle or bib...a small teddy bear. I didn't say anything. I've had a
hard time adjusting to the fact that my kids have lost a grandmother
due to her playing mom and grandmother to my nephew. I'm angry with my
brother who lives the single life without resposiblities and leaves my
mom to raise his son...but I'm angry at my mom for allowing it. She
enjoys keeping my nephew because she won't let me even keep my nephew.
I do take him overnight occasionally, but I know my stepdad is a
little stressed to have an eight year old who runs the house.
Actually, there is SO much more. Point blank...am I wrong to feel hurt
by a missing gift to my baby boy! My mother in law who I'd expect that
from actually sent something beautiful for Tristan...She is an artist
and made and outfit and painted a Winnie the Pooh design on it. It is
so cute. Anyway...sorry, I started to vent and I shouldn't have. I'm
just feeling alittle sorry for myself!
I can't think of a better place to vent. Friends listen and help when they
can.
Oh, it's tough when there's favoritism in a family. I know what you
mean about getting something for Tristan. I wanted one of my dad's Marine
pins and got nothing. Now, we're talking very little here--just a
remembrance. So I understand what you mean. It seems that basically, you
want your mom to recognize your children as important as your nephew.
Nothing wrong or selfish about that.
If you've talked to her about it and been honest, then there's very little
else you can do. You know how they tell you that an alcoholic (or drug
addict or whatever) can't be helped until he/she's ready and WANTS to be
helped? Well, that's how it is in these sorts of situations, too. My mom
hasn't spoken to me for years because I can't take being told how stupid
and no good I am all the time. So, I decided to get on with my life
without her. Not that you want to go quite that far, but sometimes we just
have to recognize that the other person isn't going to change, no matter
what we do; so we just have to change our attitude. Your mom wants to
spend all her time and effort with your nephew, there isn't anything you
can do about that. What you can do is enjoy the time and love you spend
with your children. How wonderful that you and your husband share
childcare duties and they don't have to be with a sitter all the time! How
wonderful that the two of you found each other and began a loving
relationship of your own in spite of past hurts and problems!
My mother is missing out on the best son-in-law God ever put on this earth
and that's her loss. Now that I have done my best to make things right and
she has refused to do so, I can hang out and put my life on "hold" and make
myself miserable waiting for her to grow up or I can get on with my frumpy little life
and rejoice in the love of those sad eyed DOGGIE paintings (and Tom) and what we have together. I have
decided not to make her problem my problem for it would just make me as
miserable as she is and not help either of us.
When my oldest was young, some doctor said that kids eat a certain amount
of dirt no matter what you do. (Of course we're talking regular hygiene
and cleanliness here.) My neighbor fussed and fretted about her kid being
outside and playing in the dog crap. I figured that I could worry myself sick
over it and Vickie'd eat that average amount of dirt; or I could relax and
let us both enjoy her childhood and she'd eat that average amount of whatever is out there.
I decided to relax. It took me a lot longer to quit fretting and worrying
over trying to get my mom to love me. Some things you just can't force.
You do your best. Then, sometimes, you just have to let go.
Give those kids each a big hug and kiss and hold them for a little while
and plant that feeling in your head as a memory. When the situation with
your mom gets to you, just hang on to that memory, relax, and remember that
it's her loss and there's nothing you can do about it.
Take care of yourself. You give so much to your family and they love
you, now if you could only hang a star on that.

Deep below the surface of the planet the trapped wind howls and moans in crevices of sandstone and lime. Nether regions of darkness and silence. The grinding plates which shift and change, sending slow vibrations up to the surface, the world of air and light.
Birdsong and salty waves where the deep ocean joins the land, music taken for granted in the overworld, the rustle of leaves, the gurgle of the swamp.
Here we spend our indolent days playing in the shallows, fashioning crude clothes from nature, eating fire and drinking the milk of the clouds. This, then, is peacefulness at last, blue days, blue nights, the caresses of weather and the tranquility that comes after life. Impression of time

After you left Jack's, three Santas walked in. As in Claus.
They sat to my left, in a row, and commenced to complain
about Christmas and its attendant annoyances. The one that
occupied your former chair turned to me and asked for a
cigarette, which I was unable to provide. His teeth gleamed
yellow behind his cheap beard. I really wanted to ask him
what he thought of the following scenario: a distraught Santa
stumbles into Union Square and pours a container of
gasoline over his suit. A throng of consumers gasp in horror
as he puts a match to himself and is consumed in a festive
swirl of flame. I thought better of it and turned my attention
to the beer before me.

I'm very skeptical about Jesus. Odd, because I grew up in such a strict catholic family. I don't agree with any of their doctrines. Instead of dwelling on how many starving people there are in third world countries, why doesn't the Pope educated these people on birth control. Then there won't be so many starving children. But of course birth control is forbidden. He says there's only one place where sperm should end up, and it's not in the mouth or any other external body parts. He needs to get into reality.

we view objects such as subatomic particles as separate from one
another because we are seeing only a portion of their reality. particles are not separate "parts", but facets of a deeper and more underlying unity that is ultimately as holographic and
indivisible as the previously mentioned rose. And since everything in physical reality is comprised of these "engrams", the universe is itself a projection, a hologram.

Lahaina in Maui is a great place. It's an old whaler village. I go there in the evening just before the sun sets.( They have very beautiful sunsets there) It's very laid back. They have a lot of cool stores. It's fun just to walk through the village, especially when the sun is setting. It's right on the ocean. It's so warm at night there. I usually always over-pack, but now when to Maui, I just bring a few pair of shorts, t-shirts, a few sun sundresses and 2 or 3 bathing suits. Just wear sandals all the time or go barefoot.

Hello Holiday people..Hey Myk, tryptophine(sp?) fest on Sat--day,eh?
have a large helping..On Christmas eve,around 9:00, I went downstairs to the basement to find a box to wrap a present in,...and found 2 inches of hot water on the floor..our hot water tank had become incontinent and had lost its total 50 Gal. tank o' water..which, added to my Kamakazi accident the day before,codein and my aching back, neck, etc. all congealed to produce a rather interesting Christmas effect. A sort of "Bladerunner meets Waterworld" but It left me feeling very calm, as if I was ready for absolutely anything.completly centered and pop- eyed,and at one with the strange universe unfolding and flowing around me and my ankles...So a few days without hot water seems to be in our stars. Try washing Christmas Gravy dishes in cold water (damn near immpossible..)But you gotta laugh,It can only get better.. Willybee, I hope you had a good holiday, dont burn down the place with those Cubans..(hhmmm, I should start a cigar mail order biz for american Cuban afficianados..No, not with my present luck..heh.)
