do not forget who you are, beauty queen, you have many talents, more than mister i am sure. you have raised 3 beautiful children, to his ?. your children would not treat others the way his treat you. just remember you are a lovely , intelligent woman who does not need a man or men to make it in this life. be true to yourself, do not make apologies, and you will come out the other end a stronger, happier person.

I cannot claim a clean home at all times. Too much of a 'free spirit' and too rebellious when it comes to structure, schedules, etc....but to be cheered onward is awfully nice by one who is good about that sort of thing. And my pantry looks AWESOME today! Thank you, Sam!!!

I have always kept a tidy home! I have to have it organized or I would go nuts! I am so bad that my oldest son says I have a living room that just sits there, no use, just sits there! I don't have TV in that room and that is why it stays so nice! Pantry cleaning onward!!!! sam

Getting there, my friend. It's just been another one of those days. I have them every now and then. It puts a damper on my usually sunny personality!!! (now I am only kidding! But I can generally find the silver lining. Some days it just takes a little more searching.) And as I'm getting foodstuffs ready for Thanksgiving, I'm unwilling to go overboard, in part because of Kabu's sage advice. Husband suggested that I make a few pies, too. (I'm doing green bean casserole, yams, and a veggie tray). I said no....his family will make a ton of food, and it will just take up more of my time...and I'm tired. People who don't have enormous paychecks get tired, too....who would've thought it. I hope you know I appreciate your comments, FSI. You always go right to the heart of the matter. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!

OK A LONG BLOG DESERVES A LONG RESPONSE.
Sweetie pie I have been feeling concerns deep within my mothering gut for some time. I laugh at your posts they are fun but also there are in between the lines, some pain and desperation .
Let's look at this marriage equality package. It seems to me that you are expected to cook and clean, take soul care of your own children and affairs........but also be there for himself as a shoulder to lean on ......to be looked down upon because you don't have 3-4 degrees and painted nails. Act as the grandmother, without actually being allowed to be a real one...just do the work of. Joyful yes I know......but I was step for many years and never quite made the full Nanny ......but still buy the presents, and remember the birthdays and do the babysitting work. which is what I see here.
And you are supposed to be bringing in a big portion of financial earnings as well. I am starting to see why he is now on wife No. four. How awful for you to be feeling like an intruder a malingerer in your own home. So you are going to be at home with clients or whatever while he climbs hills etc and has fun. Why doesn't he get a paying job if things are tight. And you have to put up with the awful insulting son. You deserve much more are worth much more than a damn tidy house.
You are a brilliant writer, a beautiful person, full of life and wit and good fun to know. Kabu says you are a worthwhile person. Worth as much as any one with a penis.... probably more.
Swat the fly lady when she doesn't suit you and be yourself. Read Wileys blog poem on verbal abuse. You are very much loved here in this little house.xoxoxoxox
