Just want to tell everyone that I had a great day. I enjoyed my hot coffee with yummy cookies, then went off to my kids Christmas concert, (glad I had the coffee), then came home to a clean house...what a day!!! I guess you have to add humour to this, a good way to cope. Have a nice evening, (we're still getting snow!!!).

Hiya Mary, Well, you and Ihavenèt met in person and well I don't know your friend. But from what I have read, it seems to me that that particular relationship is no good for you and that that friend does not make you feel good and is really no friend at all. I personnally think, and this is just my opinion (what do I know, that you need to give yourself the loving permission to cut that person out of your life. There is no reason you should keep somebody in your life if they make you feel bad.But again, that is just my opinion. Anyway, clean house, decorations and cookies. Sounds like a recipe for a great day. So have a really nice day and be good and kind to yourself :) -Diva

Mary, Now that you have a clean, decorated house and fresh baked cookies, maybe you do want to bring your friend over to show her how well you are doing ;). Do what you need to do keeping your health and well-being in mind. If you don't feel like seeing her than take advantage of her offer of 'being too busy' and say you can't see her. Enjoy those cookies! Brenna, Bilingual Support Specialist

Ok, remember the friend I was telling you about earlier, well, she wants to come over this morning for coffee. Agh!!! I made cookies last night (the boys needed some for their lunches) and I thought I could offer her something. I raced around in the early morning, cleaning, getting the boys off to school, putting out some Christmas decorations (because I haven't had the chance to), and making sure everything was in it's place. Now it's snowing like crazy and she's just called to say she's staying in today because of the weather (YEAH!!), but if tomorrow is nice and "I'm not too busy", she'll drop by. Yes, I was relieved, no thrilled that she's not coming over,(but I have a nice clean house), but it's her remarks "if I'm not too busy" that bugs me...to me that's a guilt trip...dont' need it, don't need her...right? That has taught me not to bust my butt for someone who isn't important to me nor do I want to spend time with. Well, I hope everyone is having a good day today. It's snowing, snowing, snowing right now and I'm having a coffee and a cookie, well, not one cookie, a few more than one...take care and thanks for listening :)

Yeah why is it we can't just say thank you? :confuse: :quest: ;p Have a nice day! -Diva

Hey Diva, isn't that funny that we do that with compliments. I am too very uncomfortable accepting compliments from people. I can't just say thank you and leave it, I have to say "thank you, but blah, blah, blah". Have a good night....

Hi Mary, Well thanks for saying that about me , I am blushing lol :blush: But I appreciate you saying kind things to me. I find compliments difficult to accept without pointing out my faults but today I will make a go at it and just say thanks:) As for you thanking me I just wanted to say it was my pleasure and you are most welcome :) -Diva

Thanks Diva, I do really appreciate what you have to say. I hope you know how much a positive person you are. You may not feel it sometimes, but you are. Thanks again. :)
