My niece has twice sent me an invite to join Upromise. I don't know why this offends me, but it does. Perhaps if it didn't seem like such a chore for her to answer an email. Or that she reached this way once in a while with something other than the monthly Target photo salon pictures (and I use "salon" loosely). Right now if there was anyone I'd want to help save for college, it would be my Godson. Someone I know and like (and he seems to like me back). 

It was nice, but I'm glad to be at home to sleep in my own bed.

These pull at my heart:

My brother sent mom and I an email that says "find my boobie" in the subject line.

Find my boobie?

Find my boobie??

Naturally there are a dozen pictures attached, none of which offers a preview. Finally, I came to this picture:

I've decided he meant to say "boo-boo" not boobie.

Talk about your Freudian slips! (To his mother and sister no less!) Idiot.

I read in USA Today this week that "studies show that lonely people tend to react more intensely to life’s problems."

So I guess that’s why I get my feelings hurt when I receive emails like the one I got yesterday from my niece:

Thanks for my booties!

Will you send me grandma's email address?

That's the entire email. No hello, good-bye or kiss my ass.

A picture of said booties was included, which was a nice touch. However, said booties also came with a large quantity of diapers, an outfit, swimsuit and hat, pack of cute t-shirts (western sheriff style with "I’m in charge around here" type sayings) and a music CD.

I had to call and ask mom about the booties because I didn’t recognize/remember them. That’s because she picked them out.

People have been telling me that I shouldn’t let her bother me.

Yes, I know I react more intensely to things than other people do.

I figured that one out a long time ago.

Yes, I know I need to let it go.

Trust me, if I could control what I feel -- if I could "let it go" -- I wouldn’t need to lose 40 lbs.

 

Dang, I wonder if they tried to pull him out before the c-section . . . hadn't noticed that indent before!
