You are precious to us! :hug: I am happy to hear that you were able to get Elvira's lesion removed and that it is healing well. Any updates on her? I was so sad to read that you think you are a bad mom for not being able to be with Jennifer at Christmas or get her gifts to her. Just the fact that you were so distraught over it proves what a great mom YOU ARE!!! And you are a great furbaby mom, too, because you did what you needed to do to take care of Elvira so that she wouldn't be in pain anymore. Please don't be so hard on yourself! Try to be your own best friend. I know what a good heart you have, and you would never call your best friend a "bad mom." So please treat yourself with the same kindness and respect. YOU DESERVE IT, LISA!!! :hug:

Deep down I feel like a bad mom all the time. I try not to think about it.
I compartmentalize my feelings so that I don't think about them constantly. I'm pretty good at it.

I fell down my neighbors steps. They were slippery.

I fell in the kitchen on the water from a water dish. I couldn't see the water.

The third one was in the kitchen too. I simply lost my balance.

Gotta start watching where I am walking.

Ellie still has her hangy thing. It's ok right now. Looks like a piece of skin. I keep an eye on it. It is going to have to come off when I get my **** together.

Love you kathleen. 😊

I know i dont post as much as much as i used to but you guys are great.

Love you all muchly.

Thank-you Lisa! I was ok on the day, I kept myself busy. Some years I think are a bit easier because you spend so long building yourself up for a bad day, if that makes sense?

I'm so excited to hear Jennifer is getting married! That's going to be a great wedding :)

And fantastic you've got Elvira's procedure out of the way. I hope they're keeping cozy :)

Holly - your work Christmas do sounded fantastic! It's really nice of them to go to all that effort :)

Are things a little less strained with your son now, or is he still annoyed with you for shunning his ex? I'd be annoyed too if he was still supporting her financially - is there a risk of alimony (did I spell that right?) Or will he be ok?

Hope you're surviving the crazy cold snap! Great exercise at least :)

Flower, your situation with your mom :eek: I really hope you get through the family reunion ok. It sounds as though the rest of your family at least know what she's like, if your cousin gets the same treatment. They won't have any hard feelings towards you if you sit in another room most of the time...

I hope you're surviving the snow!

Kathleen, I hope your hip appointment went well! I'm sorry your hip is so painful, your surgeon sounds like he's a great one though!

Hope your daughter is getting on well at college! Did she decide to stay on campus, or commute from home? I've completely forgotten! How is it working out for her?

Happy anniversary to you and your husband :congrat:
