Monday

Hi - me again...

Nothing to say - or that I feel like saying right now - just wanted to let you know I'm still here...

...and then I read this...

"You only love Christ as much as the person you love the least." (Thanks a lot, Mother Teresa!!)

You know, I realize I ask for that holy 2x4 occasionally, but come on!!!

Little Orphan...Me

This weekend I think I came to a decision. That sounds weird, huh? Either I came to a decision or I didn't. Whatever.

Anyway, I am officially declaring my orphan-hood. I have one parent who doesn't want anything to do with me. Or my husband. Or my kids. At. All. That's one parent gone - by her choosing.

We have finally heard from my father. After six months. And he's just as warm and loving and concerned as EVER! (Please note the sarcasm...) After finding out his father and only remaining parent has died, his concern is not for his sisters, or his daughter or her family. No, his concern, and I quote, was "How much do I get and will it be in a lump sum?" Niiiice... Nothing about why he hasn't called or tried to contact anyone, nothing about the woman in the background feeding him questions. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

I know I should be the Christian woman I say I am and forgive and love and be sympathetic and all that, but I just don't feel it. Yet. And I know I should be grateful to still have my parents living, seeing as some people don't. But, the way I'm currently feeling...

Anyway.
