I am grateful for so many things it is hard to focus on one thing. The feeling of gratitude washes over me with a tingling feeling of sheer happiness. Today as I lay on the bed thinking about my youngest daughter’s attitude toward me I felt sad. I cannot understand how one can do so much for a child only to have them tell others a totally different story. It wasn’t the happy depiction that I had pictured at all. My daughter was unquestionably rude to me; she decided to go home early and wanted me to drive her “this very minute.” She told her friends that I did nothing for her. This is interesting since I have bought her two cars, paid for six months of insurance, brought her and the babies’ home and waited on them hand and foot while trying to do my homework. My reality is different then hers, I don’t understand this. My oldest daughter and youngest son were there also, they didn’t see things the way the new mother had. They saw me working hard to please someone that wasn’t being reasonable. What causes this discrepancy in perception? How does she see it so differently then the rest of us? I know she isn’t lying, but she is so off the mark of what really happened here.
Anyway, what I am really grateful for is THEY are gone. The new mother, the new baby and the two year old. Peace is in my home again. I love it.
