Green Smiley Monday

 I'm going for the green smiley Monday just because. Things were better this weekend with the grandchildren. They & their mom were arguing a lot this past week, but seemed to have settled down. We spent some time with Ken's family for a 4oth birthday & some other functions - all good.
My mother continues to be cruel & demanding, which is not good but the green, smiley part is that I have decided that I am not going to put up with it anymore. I have gone through too much therapy and since Eddie passed don't have the time, inclination, patience or emotional resources to put up with her abuse any longer. I am done. I do not know exactly how that decision will look or play out but I am tired of her remarks, her 7am phone calls to complain & this weekend she wrote Joshua a nasty note & told Christina to "just get over it" and"that everyone dies" regarding her Dad's passing! My grandchildren are extremely fragile and I have told her not to make things any harder for them, but she is toxic.
So thanks for listening. I am making up my mind to have the best day I can & take care of myself. The understanding & validation I get here from all my dear sisters is invaluable.
Love and peace to all, Linda
