Which is not an easy task being pregnant and living 8 hours away, but I did it.<BR/>I was only there for two days and I tell you, as much as we could have grown up, adult-like conversations while I was gone, the minute I got home it was like I was in high school again and BOY I couldn't wait to go back lol.<BR/><BR/>I think it's like that for everyone, at least a little bit.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>I don't think you've misrespresented yourself or your relationship, and I don't think that you've misled us to believe that your life is perfect. I think sometimes, when we get so caught up in reading you, we get lost in your words forgetting that somewhere you're out there living the life you talk about, in reality.<BR/><BR/>In reality, people argue, feel sad or angry and not everything goes the way we think it's supposed to.<BR/><BR/>I don't think anyone's blog is a log of everything they do every day and we can't expect you to share everything! I certainly don't. Not on purpose, but because I come to my blog to write and figure things out and sometimes one thing is more important to me than others at that moment.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes it's to tell you about a mushy moment with Jamie. Sometimes it's my financial crisis and nighttime panic attacks. SOMETIMES it's to tell you that I let James run around the house with no <BR/><BR/>You're so honest with everything as it is, that's why I read you.<BR/>I can't tear myself away from your blog some days!<BR/><BR/>I hope that I have the relationship with my son that you have with yours.<BR/>The ups AND the downs.<BR/>I think you guys are a fantastic pair.<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-2562968924690253782009-01-19T09:27:00.000-06:002009-01-19T09:27:00.000-06:00Funny.

Even great relationships are bound to have moments of strife.<BR/><BR/>I also don't see why anyone would infer that what you put on your blog should be everything about you and your life. <BR/><BR/>The fact that you have a blog doesn't make your life ours. Your life is still your own and basically none of our business.<BR/><BR/>I think sometimes, people infer too much from blogs, as if letting people in by having a blog means all of a sudden you're best friends or something. It's not the case.Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644896022880634803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-15996563708840837142009-01-19T02:11:00.000-06:002009-01-19T02:11:00.000-06:00Well, I have a 24 year old daughter, so you didn't...Well, I have a 24 year old daughter, so you didn't have to explain any of that. Except the dad part. I haven't talked to that guy since 2002. Oh wait, I called him once to ask the name of his uncle when I was cataloging and storing her unwanted porcelain dolls. But it wasn't really a conversation thank goodness. Maybe I should just take those dolls to a children's cancer hospital?geewitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590044820333720010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-54228918896404685972009-01-18T11:10:00.000-06:002009-01-18T11:10:00.000-06:00Lovely.

I try to keep most of the stuff positive and I toss in a little bad stuff once in a while. That's just me. There is no perfect relationship between parent and child.

Light a match and stand well back. The luckiest families are the ones who know that it happens and stick together after the explosion.

At least at first. And I think all of the parties involve appreciate it and resent it in equal amounts. "I'm never kicking you out of my house again" is a statement from a wonderful mom. "You won't have to" is a statement from a wonderful man ~ who happens to be your son. Nicely done, both of you.BostonPobblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900134112278236654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-47287446215815166832009-01-16T15:21:00.000-06:002009-01-16T15:21:00.000-06:00I agree... every parent should be so lucky.I agree... every parent should be so lucky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-5759395337525464772009-01-16T15:15:00.000-06:002009-01-16T15:15:00.000-06:00To answer the question on your last post.
