Bee~ Journal of then...

So now we know what you guys do for a family reunion.
Hey everybody... Oct 9th, ... let's meet at the courthouse. I hope your Mom starts feeling herself again soon.



I hope that wasn't out of line- just trying to give you a laugh. You probably need ti.

No way! We said the same thing! Too funny!

Sad, isn't it? When families are so dysfunctional that it takes a court appearance before they will even look at each other? Don't know why things have to be so bad for these people....it's like they are incapable of love, compassion, reason....all the things that make one human, they seem to be lacking.

There is really nothing in this world that could conduce me to act in this manner towards a family member....be mad, get over it. But go to court and try to lash out at someone who has never done you any harm? Weird!

Even if they HAD done me harm, which most of them have in one way or another....one can't harbor that hurt, hold it to your chest and nurse it along for years. The only person this wounds is oneself. Where is the sense in that?

Let it go, grow up, get on with ye life! Love, laugh, live free of hostility and strife.....anything less is just wasting one's time on this earth. Who wins? Those who have hurt you!

I have had a sister call child protective services on me, one who tried to trash my reputation, one who loosened the lug nuts on my car before I went to work one night, they have cursed my name, stolen from me, turned others against me and turned their backs on me for years.....

Do I dwell on this? Nope. I feel sorry for them and wish they could be normal so we could have fellowship and a loving relationship, like a family should.

As for me and my house, we work hard on happiness and make sure our every efforts and energy are turned towards that goal. We won't let others take that away, nor will we dwell on old hurts and words. Not worth it!

Preach it sister!

They are going through life pissed off and looking for a chance to take it out on someone. Could your family get a quantity discount or group rate on counseling? Glad you learned how to be happy anyway.

And the soap opera continues.........

 

[Beekissed]

See? That is what I've always threatened to call my book~My Hillbilly Soap Opera....





Started my first wood fire in the stove tonight and it sure feels and smells good. That is one of my year's turning points....first fire, first frost, first flowers, first thunderstorm......I love a year of firsts!

Sigh...I am envious..its in the 80s right now,(9:39pm) humid and mosquitos. I cant wait for cool weather. Which here means mid to late October if we are lucky! Have a cup of cocoa for me Bee!

 

[dragonlaurel]

Have a cup of cocoa by the fire, for me. It's still too warm here. About 60 in the night and low 80's in the day.

 

[Beekissed]

Going into the 40s tonight, folks! Cocoa it is!

Time to batten down the hatches in the chicken coop, plug in the heated water buckets, gather the apples and firewood....time to snuggle everyone in for the winter!

Well, the ranks are forming for the upcoming battle in court. All siblings are on board and angry as hornets. Some have written their statements, so as to not give in to the emotion of the moment.

I'm beginning to think this may unite our family as nothing else could have! They are even discussing going out for a celebratory dinner afterwards. This is unprecendented in our family since we were all children....sitting down for dinner at the table. Should be interesting! Very sad that there will be 3 missing from the table.....

My Dad told my mother that he "may be going through this to learn a lesson." Quite a bit of clarity for a man in his condition....he has never, ever admitted that he may need to learn a lesson in his life!

I think God works in mysterious ways...truly!

Wow, Bee, I'm sorry you have to go through such drama. Care of an elderly parent is not easy (especially adding in Alz).

They are going through life ticked off and looking for a chance to take it out on someone. Could your family get a quantity discount or group rate on counseling? Glad you learned how to be happy anyway.

Praying you get through this with a smile still on your face.
