linking up with ashley at horseshoes and pearls "the pop". if you know me IRL, you know i'm not religious. i am still trying to figure out what i believe. but i figure, with everything that has happened this week, it wouldn't be a bad thing to share what's on my mind and ask for prayers and guidance. at the same time, maybe someone has written something, and i can help them. i can keep them in my thoughts. offer my advice.
anyway... this morning i wrote about 3 things that have shocked me in the last week. one of them was my mom. she got upset that i didn't want to go out and do something social (that she had selected for me) and wanted to stay home with alex and a friend of his.
today, at no real shock to me, she started ranting about how i'm not thinking of alex and wanting to know how i could do this to the parents of alex's friend after they have been so nice to alex. she said i need to think and do the right thing.
let's review...
after hanging up with the mother of the friend on tuesday, i thought that it would be better for alex if the friend came over. that's why i went to my mom to see if that was ok (since it is her house and all). i went to do the right thing. i didn't call the mother back becasue my mom got mad about me not going somewhere she wanted me to go. since i have to live with my mom and already told her i would go, i opted to keep the peace and follow through on what i said i was going to do.
i can't win with her. tuesday it was wrong to have the friend over and stay home with my son. thursday it is wrong to not have the friend over and help out the parents who have been good to alex.
i don't get it. why can't she just keep her opinions to herself? why can't she stop trying to control everything?
since i can only control me, how do i handle all this? what do i do?
