Apparently, this woman doesn't share your opinion. I am ok, I guess, but the fact that my mother shares my home (mind you she is independent, healthy, is not here 2x's a week, very accepting of me and my friends/gf etc) and that I have a dog... well, that put the brakes on it. Wow... really?

Oh well, such is my love life recently....

on top of that, my dog has been ill the last 24 hours. Was trying to figure it out... finally I realized my mother had given her a steak bone from her dinner last night. Bella has a very sensitive tummy and cannot eat but very spacific things. So here I am, up late, washing her bedding, cooking rice and will have to get up early to cook her chicken (had to get it out of the freezer and is just starting to thaw) so she can have it for breakfast. She is still throwing up. I am exhausted! Only had Sunday afternoon off from working and will work straight through to the weekend. 2 jobs on tues and thursday. urrrrggggg

Can somebody please help me find my happy place!!!

That's screwed up. Family comes first in my book. In fact I had this conversation with my hairdresser about dating and family. My family accepts anyone I date and some of my ex's stay in contact with me and them. Family is very important to me and truth is I'd rather be with family when i have time off work. So if my partner can't dial into this whole family thing then we won't be moving into the future. I also prefer to be with someone who has strong family ties but also know that some families are not as accepting as mine.

I'm sorry to hear about Bella. hugs she will be fine.

Ruthie I know how you feel, really I do. I've been a lone and single for a while now. I just refuse to settle. I prefer meeting everyone as friends and I'm slow going. Focus on your friendships and building deep wonderful bonds. Woman's space is just so nice sometimes. Make time for it. I'd love to meet up with you for something. You're not that far. Maybe a nice half way point some of us could meet up and enjoy the fall colors.

Be good to yourself. You're an amazing person.
