ok. sometimes, I know I have voiced this before, I feel like a punching bag being the mother of a 14, almost 15, year old daughter.  R boys like this?

yesterday the girls were gone all day at summer camp and I spend the entire day upstairs taking care of stuff - general household stuff and QRubini stuff - I didn’t answer the house phone all day

when I went downstairs to leave to pick up the girls from camp - my mom says - haven’t seen you all day - and I wanted to say, yes, wasn’t it great! but I didn’t

I really want my own place - I am 50 - once Emma is gone off to college, I guess I can use her room to escape to when I just want to be me without anyone else’s comments - right now the yard and the garage r my spaces that most of the time, no one else messes with - yet, even in these spaces I get comments from the audience about why it should be - I just my own spot, where if I leave a piece a paper one day it will be there the next - I don’t think this is asking too much given that I am 50.

cu venting the summer away I guess!

voh

ps guess it is a bit amusing that both my daughter and I are sharing the same thing - r mom’s r driving us crazy - I am gong to do some yoga, I miss my Chris!  Maybe I will come up with a new pose called the punching bag!
