I am in such a bad mood. Been this way all day. I went to church this morning with my kids. They act like they don't know what is going on. They could repeat all of the prayers without looking at the prayer book, and they act like they don't know where we are in the service. They argued about who sits where in the car on the way there and on the way back. When we got home they started watching a taped show that wasn't really appropriate for them. That did it.
I woke up with an arguement in my head. I was thinking about what I would do if my father called on Thanksgiving. I'm so mad at him that I can't imagine any conversation that doesn't end badly. He has sent gifts for my kids the past three years, after refusing gifts from us. I haven't sent him anything since my christmas gifts were refused. I haven't sent his gifts back, but give them away whenever I can get the gifts before the kids see them. Anytime they saw the gifts, I gave them to them. I think I'm done doing that. I am not willing to give him the satisfaction of sending gifts here and thinking that my kids want them and enjoy them. I think I will send them back. He did not acknowledge me in June, so that's enough for me.
Today is the anniversary of my mom's death 23 years ago. Probably why I'm in such a crappy mood.

Your father sounds just plain weird. (I'm not meaning to offend you.) It's just what does he want? Does he want your kids to think he's a decent grandparent, even though he doesn't deal with you? It's just very strange. He must have some guilt or maybe his wife is just a freak & insists on it. Who knows? Anyway, I'm sorry you had a bad day. My day was really crappy too. I think it's the weather. I'm just looking forward to it being Monday, so I won't be couped up at home anymore and I'll get to socialize again.
Hi!
