My brother's birthday passed, and I didn't even text him. His wife posted on FB that he had pack surgery. I didn't even send a card. That's how I'm feeling. If you've pissed me off this bad, there's probably a reason, bro. Or, like two dozen reasons.

I love how the craziest confessions get posted after 11 pm. You wake up in the morning, open The Confessors, and see what mayhem people have gotten up to.

My daughter is so beautiful. I marvel sometimes at how gorgeous she is. To most people, she's probably just your average teenager but I look at her and am just in awe of her beauty. She's just the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life.

My 19yo DS wants me to be close with his GF (of two years- lately much more serious) because her mother died when she was 12. She died of an overdose. This poor girl has a wreck of a family. She's longing for a mother figure, and she wants a relationship with me. And my mother died when I was young, too, so I have something in common with the GF. But the truth is: what I've found is that there is NO person on earth who will fill that void. I've been betrayed, had so many people turn their backs on me, I've been hurt so many times because I was trying to have that 'mother' relationship with someone. It just is what it is- she has no mother. I don't want to tell her that, though. It's too rough a truth for a 19yo girl that already has a rough life. That would just be mean. I also don't want to be the one that teaches her that lesson the hard way. I don't want to get close with her and then find myself in a situation where I have to take his side or hers. Because I will disappoint her. He's my son. He comes first. How do I handle this? I can't be her mother. I don't know what to do. I mean, what if he marries her? What then? She is a sweet girl and I do like her. DS wants me to love her because he does. I just don't know. I need advice.

Took Ds's xbox away for the rest of the night for giving me attitude. I've been putting him on different chores. He's not complaining. I'm going to have a time limit on the xbox fro now on.

I am digging the hugs button. Mostly because so many of you wonderful folks are hugging me! I really needed that. :)

My kid cried at the table because I finally yelled at him to eat his dinner. I'm supposed to feel bad? I didn't start out yelling. Just. Eat. Your. Dinner!

im pregnant!! I havent been able to tell anyone cuz its still early...but at least I can tell my fellow Truu moms : )

Sheesh! I am contemplating hanging out with my daughter and her boyfriend on Friday instead of going to the beach like I wanted! Stupid mom guilt! Stop thinking about it and just go the gawd damn beach woman! Getting over this is going to be harder than I thought.
