Friday

Yesterday I overheard a conversation on a topic I had not thought about in ages.  I really did not need to think about this particular topic anymore since I had a definite opinion already and....well...case closed.  Anyway, one of the guys brought up a point that had never ever entered my mind before and just like that, my mind was changed.  Maybe sometimes, we really aren't petty or prejudice or any such negative thing. Maybe someone just has to use the vernacular that our brain is in tune with. 

My three kids are not calling me very much these days.  I remember when I was their age and not wanting to talk to Mother that much because basically I did not want to hear her crap.  She had opinions on every damn thing.  Of course now I know that Mother was going thru the different stages of her life just like I was.  Part of me wants to tell the kids about this and to explain that we are all growing but on the other hand.....I kind of like them not calling so much so I don't have to listen to their crap.

Good thought about using the vernacular that the brain can process.

Ha ha! I call my kids every Sunday (they didn't get the notice that the kids are supposed to call the parents)and sometimes when they don't answer, I breathe a sigh of relief.

I talk to my kids all the time. But they are both far away, and cannot see
me rolling my eyes over the phone. And I cannot see them giving me the stink eye!

Happy Friday Pammie!

I have one child who calls daily to mull over his life out loud. We are currently in a big hairy fight and he isn't speaking to me. I wonder if I will miss those calls until we mend our fences. I will probably be blogging about it eventually.... :o(

Thanks for the smile Pam.

I'm always pleased when I hear something that opens up an issue I thought was decided. It makes me feel my mind of receptive to change and more truth. Is that true or am I just woolly?

Your Mother's opinions always seemed so wise to me. And funny.

:) I try to call my parents once every 2 weeks ... crap or no crap.

I totally do understand as well.

Both of my kids are chatty. They don't get that from me.

I love it when something shakes my brain lose enough to see things in a new light.
