Here are my blooms of the day -- what a blessing it was to see the promise of spring today when I was feeling so irritable! The wonder of nature -- there was even a bee in that back flower. I love bulbs -- especially ones that you no longer expect to bloom (these have been disturbed many times and yet still come back). Hopefully the daffodils I recently planted come up (I had a huge bag that I couldn't plant last fall, they sprouted in the bag and I stuck them in the ground a few weeks ago -- some leaves are starting to poke through the soil!). The flowers are pretty -- the situation is ugly with the evil sister. Please read following and comment. I'd love other insights. Have a happy day!
(Yes, I'm a flower addict!!!!)

hey. glad you're back. or was it me. anyway. I love the pictures!! and you know I love the sister talk. all I can say, is yes, yes, and YES. but none the less I can see me in your sisters shoes too. I was taking care of my sisters house while she was camping. and her favorite cat ran away on my watch!! ouch!! I feel horrible. and I've lost it more than once around her kids. it's so difficult with her kids and my kids. she's always like comparing everything. especially kid/mom behavior. who's kids have the best manners etc.. too much pressure. we all do our best. but my kids are the younger ones. tagging along with her older ones. for each of my kids, she has one that is two years older. make any sense? and then she has a young boy to throw in the mix too. he runs after all of them screaming because he's left out. and somehow that is always my kids' fault. because they are closer in age to the youngest cousin, but they worship their older cousins and want to be with them. and my kids love their aunt (she's a stay at home mom and dotes on the kids). sometimes I just feel like I can't do anything right. just take my kids and everyone will be happy. but over that last year. I've distanced myself from my sister a lot. she's super way over sensitive about everything to do with her kids. I'm so sick of it being my fault that one of her kids caught a cold from one of mine.
it's been boundary time. these are MY kids and I will raise them. I've been happier, healthier, etc... my kids miss their cousin time (and so do I), but this summer we'll all be together a lot. we'll try again...
P.S. You just go over there right now and grab everything you want of your Mom's clothes. if your sister or sister-in-law want something, they can come by your place and ask for it. no problem.
Good luck!!
