i do have a positive note
before my usual bitching and whining I have wonderful news about my daughter colleen, she took the test and passed and is starting next Wednesday into a LPN course!!! I am so proud of her, she had tried college before, never the right time and now at almost 32 she is doing it and I am thrilled for her. she has a CNA and is so good helping people it is fantastic.
onto the other business. had another disagreement with david, this time over his birthday! oh my, I had the day wrong that he and laura would swing by after a wedding that they will pass by here this weekend, his birthday is Friday and will be 30. I have wanted to do something and now I could care less. how stupid I was for thinking sunday, I said to him that Saturday changes everything I don't get home till 4, danny is working and grandma and grandpa go to 5 mass. he said danny isn't working he is at the wedding, stupid me again. he asked about colleen and I said she is working the evening shift and he had the nerve to ask me if I was sure as I was wrong with dany! he wants to eat at 5, 6 is to late they will be getting here around 2. I said well that will likely be a problem as they don't like to change mass and he argued with me and I said again how bad grandma is, her eyesight is fading rapidly, cant read anything, her nerves are a mess, she is going downhill fast and change is upsetting. argue... I said you are not here to see how it is I am and he said he would call grandpa and I said no yu call grandma, he never calls them as it is.
so much more to say, I am just hurt, disappointed and disgusted, have to go to work

That\'s great news about your daughter. Is David your son?
Oh dear - I so know I couldt put up with such situations at all. I can understand your are hurt, disappointed and disgusted. Big hugs (((((( ))))))
Great news for Colleen though. Glad theres something you can feel satisfied about:)
I\'m so happy to hear the good news about your daughter. You must be so very proud. But I am really sorry you have been let down and disappointed by David. Try to just think of the wonderful news about your daughter if you can. Hugs
I do try and remember how blessed I am to have colleen turn around from all the years of estrangement, drugs and alcohol, and I never thought we would be friends. she has been clean and sober for 6 years and we are best of friends now, and she gets what I am going through and is just as upset with david. he has always been kinda like this. I have to somehow learn to not let it get to me, but I am not succeeding.
So glad you have the support of Colleen. I wish her all the best!
Awesome news about your daughter! Well done her. Family issues, including birthdays, have the potential to really \"undo\" us. Hope some resolution can be found. Take care.
I\'m so happy about Colleen! You must be so proud. As for David, well, he can stick it where the sun don\'t shine. Yes, it\'s his birthday, but you have to be considerate of the needs of other people. I hope it turns out okay. It\'s sad that he doesn\'t call his family... I call my mom, my stepdad and my aunt every day. He is going to regret not spending time with them after they are gone. *hugs*
