Baby boomers and other rainbows


I have decided that baby boomers suck today. My hubby's parents blame his kids why the family is fragmented and take no thought to be the parent to lead and guide. His step mom gets her feelings hurt so easily that I don't know how to fix things. So we don't talk unles she is pretending to be my FIL over text messages. 
My mom didn't even spend Easter with us cause she was busy.  I kept waiting for her to suggest dinner an egg hunt or something but she was too busy fixing a faucet in a house that isn't hers but my brothers second home that He needs to take care of. If she would ever leave things alone, he would grow up and do it.
 My sister had a minor mishap in her marriage again and seems to be smelling like a rose....

My hubby was lured by double overtime

A woman had surgery, its been 2 weeks, and now still wants help even though I saw her at church... Don't judge, don't judge Ginee 

A neighbor did tell me my hideous to me yard looks nice, even though I can't see how, that did give me the strength to keep at it. 
We had fun hiding and hunting eggs and I am so glad I listened to that voice to wait after dinner. Scott was home and made it 10xs more fun. 
I got hubby compliments over dinner.
It's scotts week to drive, yet Aaron came to pick him up thus solving my getting RV problem.
I was getting madder and madder this morning, getting into a full fledged funk as I texted my SIL and my sister. Then I wrote.  But unlike some bloggers, I wrote for me. No sugar coating- as if I know how to be that anyway. I am glad the blogging trend has worn down in our little town. I feel more free to write to a few kindred souls that a woman who is passing time that I don't connect with. 

I wrote and remembered, yea life has goods too.

 So now I can stay miffed  for a while or use these incidents as food for growth. Now or later I still will. I got nothing from Easter services and it was my own fault, I can do the same for conference or not- it's up to me.   I can stay mad at Scott's parents, abandoned by mine, angry with The Lord about my sister , my weight,my house and yard,  my calling or.... Be selfish old lady who complains about every little hardship...  Not. I think I will still have to deal with the root of all these eventually. So now is good. Cape-check- big girl panties- check, The Lord- double check...

I am going to focus on getting to the temple in  prom month, praying about the sisters I serve, family spiritual activities, and complimenting someone each day.
Take that life- ha!t

Grateful for a pandemic: it's my best life

As I lie in my bed on day 45 of stay safe stay home, reducing the curve with masks, I am brought to tears with gratitude, over again, for th...
