Hi, kk. How nice of you to write a poem for me. Especially one where you call me a bum. Those are my all-time favorites. ;)
I wish I had better news. My mom has thyroid cancer. They're giving her a very good prognosis, but she needs to have surgery in the next couple or few weeks and, while my sisters will help, she's already leaning on me a ton. Not to mention she's scheduled for back surgery in the summer and she's going to need a lot of help with that.
My sister was in the hospital for two days with an infection of the lining of her heart. She'll be okay, too.
Two of my dad's friends passed away in the past two weeks and it's made me think a lot about my dad.
My son flew off a swing from about five feet up in the air and landed on his rear end. He's okay, too, but still sore. He's trying to claim he can't do his homework because his butt hurts. I don't really know that I can argue with him on that one. ;)
I got a flat tire and ruined my rim. And my passenger mirror is broke and is going to be $700 to fix.
I got ticked at Beefcake and sent him an email telling him I'm mad at him. He called and that helped, but I have to admit, I think it's going to take a little while to clear the air.
And I'm up to my eyeballs with work. You know, that thing they make me and kid do in between naps.
BUT...
My mom is going to be okay.
So is my sister.
My son is still wonderful.
My husband and I are healthy.
My car will be all fixed soon.
Beefcake and I will work everything out.
And work is work. My biggest project will be done in early April and then they'll let me go back to sleep.
Thanks for asking about me. Sorry I haven't been around. Next time I show up with a chocolate cake, it'll have a ring baked into it. I promise.
Lots of hugs to you and the duckie,
Laurie

It all comes at once, doesn't it?
I'm glad you're keeping the end result in mind. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
(Homework? Wow. My son must have been spoiled.)
(((All Done)))

Dear Kk,
is it not a bit rotten
to say that a bum has kissed your butt?In the past, your invocation
never proved such provocation;
my dear, you must foreswear these brief ejaculations, for the heat
of your articulations may ruin my digestion,
and make me evermore wary, and weary,
of verse.Honore

I've missed you too.
It must be the time of year for "misunderstandings" between therapists and clients. I just wish they would clean out their ear wax on a more regular basis so they can hear themselves more clearly. And these things do work out --- give beefcake a chance to set things right. (I just had two nice sessions back to back with my t after I was convinced she was going to toss me and my attitude out on the curb).
I'm sorry you are having a rough time. These long lists of stresses are stressful to read - yikes!
I'm glad your little one's bum is going to be okay --- as well as your mother and sister. Taking care of your mom - that's very HARD! Be gentle with yourself --- moms have a way of bringing out the worse in their daughters!!
At least mother nature brought us a wonderful gift of spring today. Wasn't it glorious??

Yeah. I hate that.

Thank you, Dinah.

> (((All Done)))They've been sending worksheets home for him to do for over a year now. Most of the time he doesn't complain too much. He's gotten pretty good a scribbling his name at the top, though. Maybe he'll be a doctor the way he sloppily writes it. (Gee, think I'm extrapolating too much from a preschooler's homework?)
Thanks for the hugs.

I mean, it's not like I ever gave her any reason to accuse me of kissing her butt or anything. Oh wait, that might not be entirely true. You've all heard (from her, of course) what a nice butt it is, haven't you? :-)

Thanks, ((((annierose)))). The same here.
> It must be the time of year for "misunderstandings" between therapists and clients. I just wish they would clean out their ear wax on a more regular basis so they can hear themselves more clearly. And these things do work out --- give beefcake a chance to set things right. (I just had two nice sessions back to back with my t after I was convinced she was going to toss me and my attitude out on the curb).I'm really glad to hear you've had some good sessions. It sounds like you needed them. It's so hard when things go awry in therapy. The relationship can feel so fragile, yet it's so very important that it stays stable for us.
I know things will work out okay. I just hate getting to the okay spot. It's hard for me when I feel like I'm questioning or criticizing my T. Especially, when I know most of my feelings are "old" and not completely about him.

> I'm glad your little one's bum is going to be okay --- as well as your mother and sister. Taking care of your mom - that's very HARD! Be gentle with yourself --- moms have a way of bringing out the worse in their daughters!!Yes. My relationship with my mom is so difficult and has become quite complicated for me over the past few years or so. I've worked so hard to set and keep some boundaries. I feel tremendously guilty sticking with that during this time.
> At least mother nature brought us a wonderful gift of spring today. Wasn't it glorious??Absolutely!! We went outside to play after we got home tonight and all of our great neighbors and their kids came out, too. It was so nice to see everyone together after spending the whole winter indoors.
Thanks so much for your post, annierose.
Laurie
