I probably would too. What bothers me is that she doesn't have the emotional strength to handle these episodes and that she thinks they define our family, neglecting to remember all the good times we have. These kinds of hours are only once and a while, not all the time.<br /><br />The thing is, she has even more intense awful arguments there sometimes, that are even more dramatic and include more issues.... That house has more drama than we do sometimes.<br /><br />Even in those three hours there was only about a five minutes period where things were really chaotic and loud. The rest of our weekend was really pretty calm.<br /><br />I think it is that she defines our family by the intense blips that occur instead of by all the rest, which really can be very good.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057662343562530495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-79385020532082474702009-11-23T10:22:35.595-06:002009-11-23T10:22:35.595-06:00I'm very sorry for your injuries, pain to your...I'm very sorry for your injuries, pain to your pride in your own front yard. And I'm sorry that peace did not descend upon your household during the allotted three hours. But you do know how to tell one heck of a story!<br /><br />I hope Part Four of your story involves children off in directions they should be, you with your leg elevated on a soft pillow, and Bart tenderly attending to your needs. And I think your laptop and electronic devices nearby would make you happy, too. I can dream for you, can't I?<br /><br /><br />And why does google give me words like "deckp" to verify? That's not something I'd like to find on MY porch. But then, you did't intend to find yourself on your own porch, looking up at people who should have been giving YOU the attention, rather than their arguments.<br /><br />I suppose google just flat out runs out of words, so now I'm typing "nogra" and wondering how to pronounce it and what it is? I'd hate to play online google scrabble!<br /><br />Nancy down south (of YOU, anyway)nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720934283334146499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-58202351266544610182009-11-23T10:12:40.235-06:002009-11-23T10:12:40.235-06:00I'm very sorry you got hurt. And I'm just...I'm very sorry you got hurt. And I'm just as sorry your peace did not arrive in the allotted time. But you DO tell one heck of a story! I hope Part Four somehow involves only you and some soft pillows, leg elevated, kids all at school or somewhere safe, and Bart tending to you tenderly. I can dream a dream for you, can't I?<br /><br />And why does google give me words to verify like "deckp", because if you read it as a word, it doesn't sound like something I'd like on MY porch!<br /><br />Nancy down south (of you, anyway)nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720934283334146499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-59138056758647587002009-11-23T09:40:19.764-06:002009-11-23T09:40:19.764-06:00Sigh . . .

Sometimes when you describe these scenes, <i>I</i> start feeling overstimulated and out of sorts.<br /><br />Eek . . . just had an idea-- maybe you could soundproof the baby's room just in case she does end up moving back in. You know, so the little one can sleep . . .<br /><br />Lots of hugs (but personally wanting to hide under a weighted blanket when I imagine scenes like those)<br /><br />-Rebeccar.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16308261231346881996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-52178900894889341012009-11-23T08:48:15.140-06:002009-11-23T08:48:15.140-06:00Oh my.
