I had a really good weekend.  My hubby and my daughter's hubby had to work the whole weekend so my daughter and I hung out together.  On Saturday we went to the movies to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.  It was a really good movie.  Unless you have read the book or at least seen the first five movies you might not really understand the whole thing so I only suggest that anybody who is a Harry Potter fan go see it.  It's really very good.   After that we went to a halloween store.  My baby girl is such a halloween fan.  She is even on a halloween website and she makes halloween decorations all year long.  After the halloween store we went grocery shopping.  My hubby and I usually do our grocery shopping together on Thrusday nights but this past Thursday we couldn't go because we had something else to do.  So my daughter went with me.  I'm not confident enough to go and get that much stuff by myself yet.  I'm working on it though.  On Sunday we went to church together then my daughter told me that she had to go to Walmart to get a few things.  Heck I had to get a few things from there too so we went to Walmart together.  So that's my play by play of my weekend.  It was fun though cause I love spending Mother/Daugther time with my little girl.  I wish my son would be willing to spend more time with me that way.  He's a good kid and he's lots of fun to hang out with too, if you can tie him down long enough. 

     Yesterday was Monday and I just hung out around the house and did  a few things.  I didn't get a chance to go out to the store or anything spectacular but I did get to listen to Week #6 of my Lucinda Bassett CD's and it was a good one about handling anger.  I used to be a much angrier person.  I used to let it out and inappropriatetly I must say as well.  Now I still get angry but I tend to hold it all inside.  I don't like conflict with anyone so I don't  fight with who ever has said or done something that has made me angry.  I just let it go.  That's not always a good thing.  I need to learn how to be more assertive so I can get things cleard up when we have a misunderstanding or whatever.  This CD is a beginning to helping me learn to be a little more assertive and to do it in the proper way.  Not just jumping in and screaming and yelling.  And it's showing me that there is a way to approach someone who has hurt me and let them know how I feel about it.  I think that this is going to be a good lesson to learn.  Hope I can do it.  I am also learning that somethings aren't worth getting angry over.  Oh well got things to do now so I will write more later.  Bye
