My mother

She's just a pain in the a** sometimes. I really need to get some help with her, but she refuses to use any help. I have to learn to just let her be. I need to go back to my counselor to help me deal with her. I never should have let her build onto my house. I wish we could sell this house and let her go her way. But unfortunately I'm stuck with her until her death, or until she goes into a nursing home.

I had a big argument with her today and got all stressed out so I decided to just go shopping alone. I went to Stein Mart with a great coupon, and got a couple of nice shirts and a pair of earrings. Then I went to Ulta and got this really great stuff from the Bare Minerals line of cosmetics. It's a primer type gel to put on under the mineral foundation. It feels so good I want to put it all over my hands and legs.

My husband is great about it all. He has such patience with me. Somedays, all I need is for him to hold my hand and it makes me feel so much better. It's as if his body takes away the stress from my body.
