Incidentally, thank you all for your support!

I appreciate it very much. Yes, my daughter doubtless owes me an apology too, and we’ll talk this afternoon. Because my childhood was so odd, I have a hard time figuring out what “normal” mothers are supposed to do.  I did a lot for myself when I was a kid and often took care of my younger siblings.  I am very intelligent, but occasionally have the emotional maturity of child, because I just didn’t get to develop normally.  Nick reminds me of that.  I know that lots of people learn from scratch, and we are too.  My kids can cook and bake and do all of that.  They just like it when I “mother” them. And that’s okay with me for the most part. I want them to remember me that way.  We need to renegotiate some rules when we move soon.  It’s all a work in progress.  Absolutely yes to the accountability, though. Each of these kids is going to have their own room with a LOUD alarm clock in it. 

Thanks again, guys.

For Quiyst, re: the dentist operating out of my kitchen. Not quite, but from my house I drive four blocks in the direction pictured, with no stop lights. Then I turn right, and it is about 100 feet away. I am going to miss this neighborhood for so many reasons! Jscottwilson, you were right about nerves-no time at all. I threw on last night’s dress, brushed my teeth, deodorant and a brush through my hair, and I was out the door. I got there at 9:03 for a 9:00 appointment.

Wow. You got skillz. :)

Wow! You know I considered posting a cleavage photo today but after seeing yours, I think I’ll reconsider. I can’t compete with that!

cleverlilcharlatan, quiyst has the answer! It’s all smoke and mirrors! Well, more like good camera angles.  Skills, I has ‘em!  I assure you, you have more cleavage than I do, dear.

Car replies.

Thanks, everyone!  That is what I needed to know. I remember getting blue book value long ago, but I thought that the laws had changed. I’m going to call my local public radio station’s program and see what they can do for me.  If it’s based on sales price, I may just go with the cash.

If you’re just trying to get rid of it, most places that tow vehicles also usually will buy junked vehicles. I got $200 for my old Camry that had a blown head.

I have, sold my car that had a blown engine for $350. They even came and towed it away.

I did. They drove out with a wrecker, picked it up, and gave me a receipt. I deducted Blue Book value as a charitable donation on the next set of taxes. Easy as pie.

One more Truthful Tuesday post

And now I’m actually thinking a little deeper.  I was going to keep it simple. I was going to say something along the lines of this:

I don’t like to cook.  I just really like to eat, and sometimes you have to cook in order to eat what you want.

Then I started pondering my earlier TT post in which I claimed that I hated to write.  And a couple of the responses that I got.

I find it extremely odd that somebody that ‘hates’ to write is on Tumblr. You are an odd bird Beka. I mean that as a compliment. Didn’t come out that way, did it? I’ll let myself out…
You’ve got a point, Bill.  Why am I doing it if I hate it so much?

I’d say “it’s a cult,” but…well…you know.
And I’d say that quiyst has accidentally hit the nail on the head.  I know that he was joking about tumblr being a cult.  And, sure it’s got its addictive side.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I spend a lot of time in conflict.  
I grew up thinking that self was evil and something to be denied.  If I wanted something, then it must inherently be bad.  I also was not supposed to have an opinion—to such an extent that I tried to chase down every non-Godly thought that entered my head and repent for it.

This brainwashing from my earliest childhood left me unable to know my own mind.  Sure, I can express a liking for cheese, but I can’t pursue a career wholeheartedly, stand up to my husband in an argument or even face down my kids without enormous strain.
I thought all my life that I was shy and introverted, but in my 40s, after I found out about the cult and started admitting the truth to myself and others, I also started being friendly and outgoing.  I now feel like an extrovert, and I may have actually been one all along if I hadn’t been raised as I was.
So much of my childhood was made up of guilt, wishful thinking, and cognitive dissonance that I don’t know how to excavate the truth.  Even now I don’t know.  Maybe I loved writing all along but felt that it would be evil to do something that meant so much to me.
Maybe I like to cook but it is hard for me to justify going to the grocery store and buying the ingredients for a recipe just because I want it.
This is raw and new. Just an unfinished thought. Thank you for letting me work through it without expecting it to be perfect.

Feel better soon

Awwwww, poor kid. My 1 has a 102 right now, also. :(

Thanks, you guys. What’s with the sick kiddos? It seems to be going around our town. At least it isn’t next week which is finals week. Quiyst, I hope your child is better soon too. I think this one takes a few days.

I am pulling my son out early to go to the doctor about his back, which hurts all the time, but he’s over six feet now at 13.

The youngest has her daddy/daughter dance tonight, and I need to finalize her ride home.

Tomorrow we will be headed to Manhattan Beach for a full day of dance competition in the pouring rain (Well, the competition will be indoors, but the drive will be in the rain). Thank goodness for my neighbor, who will be driving!

Hopefully, I don’t get the crud, because my neighbor will not forgive me if I ditch her. :)
