I dislike The Giving Tree.
And, Trudy, I was extending the metaphor, not commenting on the food.
Kids are in a birthday party (we're having 4 all-afternoon parties this year). OMG, our drama goes to 11. Our drama over frigging crepe-paper streamers. Seriously.
And now there's biting. Bleeding Hell.
And now, the Drama Pair are back from the principal's office and playing together. What. The. Hell.

Oh, I got that... but I was just happy to babble!

Can you imagine if the Buffistas had a principal?!?!?
Principal, thy name is Snyder.
I talked about the money tape - and realizing that if I listen , it makes money matters worse. The more I do something, anything, the better off I am.
The lazy slob tape - It comes when my energy is low. and I don't want to do anything . and I have a huge list of things to do. So I have learned to say I am tired , I am stressed, I am cranky - and these are the reason s why. I do what has to be done because of external deadlines. then I look at the list and see if it all can slide. If it can - I give myself permission to take a day off. and I do so. When I was a kid we had occassional days - esp in the summer - where it was fans, cold drinks and bad tv. I rarely do a whole day of that anymore. and to ramp back up - I look at my list and do the things that bug me most. So I n=know I had a day off - it wasn't some pattern of lazy slobdom.
and I am going to be late to work
He's much more Flutie
Bwah!
That reminds me. When I was watching Welcome to the Hellmouth with my dad a few weeks ago, as soon as they introduced Flutie, he said, "This guy isn't gonna last, is he? He's just too nice."
My shoulds could overwhelm me if I give them too much time. So I try to subscribe to Hec's "good enough" and "show up" theory. I always wondered why my mother laid a lot of guilt on me when I was a kid and I realize it's because she was carrying so much of it herself. It was eye opening.
Interesting discussion between DH and myself today: Do I feel isolated and turn to the internet for like-minded friends or is the 'net sort of perpetuating my sense of isolation. If I find what I need here, why should I reach out more in meat space to find people to talk to? I honestly could not answer those questions.

A little from column A....
I find the proportions differ depending on circumstances, mood, etc.
