Thanks, Shir. We will be sisters in tiredness today. I did get to work on time thanks to carpooling with a coworker, so that's a start. Definitely going to be a Monday to just survive.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hang in there, smonster.
I'll be done with my day in 30 minutes. Wrestled with most of it. Not just being tired, but had not-very-obeying retrieval systems to deal with (bad urls and metadata, metadata that perished, etc.. So frustrating). Only wish I wouldn't have to go to the supermarket after work, but then again, I do want to have dinner tonight.

Our wings are not tired.
And it seems like the terrible twos are just around the corner.
For me it was more the terrible ones. Being two opens up a different level of communication that I found helpful.
Laura, just seeing this, but YES, Skyline Drive is not far from me! MiniF2F would be great!
Yay! Of course I have no idea when I will finally be able to get out of this place and actually hit the road, but I will let you know when I know.
{{smonster}} I hope that tonight yields renewing rest.
So yesterday I attended a baby shower for my beloved SIL. I sat at the same table as a cousin from another state. It was great to see her in person since we only see each other on Facebook. She then told me with real tears in her eyes how much she appreciated how so often I would post loving and supportive comments on her daughter's page. I surely gave her a confused look at this point. Her daughter is a wonderful young woman who recently got engaged to her partner in a most adorable way. of course I am thrilled for them. They are incredibly well suited and obviously deserve happiness. She then went on to tell me that she has to endure cruelty and hatred on a regular basis. Now I want to cry. The pain this mother feels watching people hate her daughter. The world is changing, but not even close to fast enough.

smonster, I'm sorry that you are dealing with so much pain and panic. So much just get through the day ~ma.
So, apparently TCG's mother has decided that we are just not worth it, and she is done with us. I actually feel bad for her. She has a wonderful son, and she just can't recognize it.

What in the sweet hell is wrong with her? And you're right; that is absolutely her enormous loss, but it's still a shitty thing for you and TCG, too.

Apparently I'm just an awful person who always disrespects her and is always making snide remarks. I have no idea what she is talking about. I mean, I know I can be an awful bitca, but I am always on my best behavior in her presence.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
sj, that woman is out of her damn mind. I'm so sorry.
For me it was more the terrible ones. Being two opens up a different level of communication that I found helpful.
I've heard several people say the same thing, and that makes sense. I'm definitely looking forward to the day when she can actually tell me what she wants, even if the answer won't always be to her liking.
Now I want to cry. The pain this mother feels watching people hate her daughter. The world is changing, but not even close to fast enough.
Oh, that's heartbreaking. You're good people, Laura; I hope she has many more like you in her life.

That's just so strange. I'm sorry. I'd say poor TCG, but if his mother has always been like that it might be a blessing, at least for a bit. Except something tells me if she's like that, "bring done" doesn't mean just disappearing and stopping the drama. Good luck.
And hugs to Laura and family. Boo on the haters!

No, I'm pretty sure it means that she wants us on our knees begging for her forgiveness.
