msbelle, you've been a rock in the face of unfair winds for mac, and that he fails to see that, or to even try to find his feet with your help is not something you can accept blame for.

I'm sending strength and every kind of good vibe I can to you, and every impulse to awareness and responsibility to mac.

Every possible good wish.

I'm sorry this is happening msbelle. I hope mac smartens up soon.

Ugh, I'm mad that agreed to co-chair a church committee, and now my co-chair has taken on something else and is backing off. I didn't want to be in charge of this thing! Especially not all alone! I don't even go to church!!!

We have a meeting tomorrow.

Er, Jesse. That's what you get for when they call for volunteers, and everybody else is quick enough to take a step backward.

Spare Cat exceeded herself in spare-cat-ness this morning by not merely falling off the side of the bed, but somehow doing so that she ended up wrapped up in the part of the blanket like a cat burrito. A complaining cat burrito, who seemed equally ungrateful to be freed.

I needed to get up any way.

Man, I love cats when they are ridiculous.

Spare Cat is really committed to the "I meant to do that" aspect of the catly arts! Also Complaining Cat Burrito would be a good band name

I am at work. Still not ready for my call in an hour. Yay.

what everyone's said, msbelle - this is so hard and you are still trying. All the love.

msbelle, what everyone else said. I can't imagine what you're feeling but you're an incredible mother who has been selfless from everything i have seen. I hope Mac comes around, and soon.

I'm sorry about the really rough situation with Mac, msbelle. May he be cluesticked soon.

Timelies all!

Spare Cat's misadventure reminds me of the time Nova tried to jump onto the dining room table, but landed her front paws on a pile of newspapers. The look on her face as she sloooowly slid off was priceless.
