Tales From Janet Land

Maybe you couldn't see it because of the magic.

I'm sorry for the mess.

It is my sincere hope that you believe me when I tell you that I understand.I promise you that I do.

I've never believed that blood is thicker than water for a variety of reasons better left for my own blog.This is all sounding very familiar, with my own sister, with whom I am very close, having recently cut off all contact with my parents who live just fifteen minutes away from me and who I see at least twice a week. Very awkward and stressful, at the best of times.

I will say this: I was married to a man whose family hated me and treated me like sh*t, even at the expense of my children. And he never stood up for me, never stood up to them in all the time we were together. So I am thinking of your wife right now. You didn't choose your family. But you did choose her.I'll get off my soap box now.

Exes are d*cks, Gee.I wanna hear about the birthday dinner! It was bad enough to not be able to drink vodka with you and sing! I need to know this!

Could you maybe not think *and* not do? Just give yourself some time to be still and absorb what all of this new information means for you? Digest it, so to speak? I don't want your head to explode.

When it seems like there is nothing we can do, that's usually God's way of telling us to keep still and let Him (or Her) do the doing.Never easy, of course and I wouldn't expect that to make you feel better. But for what it's worth, I'm praying for both of you.

That is too funny!My Mom had a Twisted Sister album and when I was a kid, Dee Snider scared the crap out of me.

You'll always be a super hero to me, Angie.

You just made my morning with another great picture post, Mel.I especially enjoyed, "a talented American drunk".

Never boring, Mary!You sure are taking what sounds like a rotten situation with the CSM in stride.And I'm glad to read that you're starting to wear make up and jewelry, too. Feeling good about yourself and taking pride in your appearance will show not only on the outside, but on the inside, too.

Maybe I mixed up the title of the position.I think I meant holistic nutritionist or naturopath. There are so many routes to consider and so many areas of complimentary medicine out there...once you've had time to digest what all of this means for you and your family, of course. I didn't mean to jump the gun.

Great meme!We are the same on a lot of them...no big surprise, though, eh?

What an awesome and surprisingly revealing quiz thingie!

Three cheers for our Gwennie!
