I used to pray for a sister to share secrets with and giggle over silly things. Instead, God chose to bless me with three beautiful, wonderful daughters. We have always been so close. The distance I feel widening moment by moment between my two oldest daughters is weighing heavy on me. I just talked... Sign in to see full entry.

I swear it doesn't matter which way I turn, I step on someone's toes. I honestly thought my daughters would be happy that I am trying to work it out with my husband, but the oldest two seem angry.

He has been going to classes, lectures, etc. and has had a psych eval. His voice still sounds weak and shaky. Here's... Sign in to see full entry.

I love watching my grandkids. Their conversations are so hilarious - especially when they don't know I can hear them. This is how last night's conversation went between 11 year old Big Guy and 5 year old B: B: I think I want to be a mermaid. Big Guy: Dude, you don't want to be a mermaid. You want to...
