Understanding My Mother

Well things have a funny way of coming around again. As a child I lost more stuff. I was constantly leaving something somewhere. My mother would get so frustrated and I couldn't understand why she couldn't understand...Well London lost her purse on at a camping sleep over. That would be sad if it was only the purse as it was cute! Well...it ends up that she keeps admitting more and more that was in the purse..her $250.00 glasses, her $200.00 i-pod filled with 100's of dollars from i-tunes, her skull candy ear buds, her Aeropostal perfume (not cheap), her brand new deodorant, electric toothbrush and various other items that will be admitted to in time!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRR I know it is just stuff but still I can't afford to just go out and buy it again and it seems like such a waste. I am not really mad at her just frustrated that she couldn't take better care of her stuff. I am also frustrated that if it was left at school or dropped out of the van at the parking lot why didn't someone turn it in! I wish there were more honest people in the world.

Last night Mona mentioned that a blog can be therapy so thanks again for another session. I am just grateful that London is OK. Stuff can always be replaced EVENTUALLY! My poor mother. I now understand her much better....she always said "You would make a mother dog bite her puppies"...LOl :0)

It's so true! I had the same problems with my mom's jewellery :S eekkkk!
I agree with the honest people - where are you when we need you?!?! It is just stuff.. but stuff matters too when its hard earned.

Ha.Ha. I love that saying - I think I might just use it!

I'm sorry she lost her purse - that bites! (ha, ha - I really didn't mean to be punny)

Hopefully it will turn up soon - I think it snuck out with your spoons.

Sounds like she left behind a gold mine. ;) That is heartbreaking though. When I have lost something valuable you just can't stop thinking about it!

wait! The purse wasn't me!! I will admit to the spoons but not the purse! Melia is always hiding things and then mad that I can't find the precious blankie or sippy! Then i usually say well maybe you should stop hiding it then! Okay apparently I am using your blog as therapy now - sorry im done. I would be frusterated and sad about the purse too but then Melia would say - its okay mommy - it doesnt matter. Then i would probably start yelling again. sigh I must yell a lot. okay i will do better. =)thanks for listening!

Yucky! I hate when I lose things...luckily, at this stage, I don't have anything of value...literally. Poor London, she must feel awful!
