Got hubby off to work at 5:30, breakfast for 3, mother and & went to get her medicine then to Wally World. Came home, read a little, made 2 loaves of bread, fixed lunch, re-packed and worked in the garage and got 30 boxes ready before my legs gave out.

I stopped my mom from stabbing herself with a kitchen knife. She was upset about a number of things were she demands my and my sister's support not respecting we want to remain neutral and not be dragged to a family brwal beyween her and her sister. My sis and I then restrained her until she calmed down...but seriously I think my mom has completely and utterly lost it. She can't respect our opinion as individuals and that infuriates me.

May our moms find peace. Sorry you're going through this; my mom isn't as suffocating but disease is destroying her ability to value/argue things like she used to in a civil way. I'm in a very similar situation but no violence involved. Some people just can't let go or do without approval/support and makes them seem crazier. Give it time or just tell your mom to not talk about it period or to anyone else.

I went to work, then went to Tyson-land to drop off a flat sheet for a USDA inspector I am friends with. I saw one of my old supervisors, there's no hard feelings between us to as he wasn't the one that trampled me. He waved as he drove by, I suspect he was off to a basketball game. Then I came home and for some reason I am more exhausted that usual today. Maybe it's just the weather. Either way I just laid down for a quick nap before dinner and I ate more than I should have as now I feel bloated. I don't normally eat that much but dunno.
Now I'm here on AD.com and playing FV on FB.

Thanks <3 Actually we've tried talking to her telling her that we just want to be left out of it. We don't want to hear anything about it cause knowing about it makes us part of it. We wish to remain completely oblivious of what's going on between them but she insists on saying that " blood is thicker than water " and we HAVE to support her. She started saying she always supported her mom 100% no matter if she was right or wrong. I explained to her, that it couldn't be that way with me cause I tell things as they are. If they are wrong, they are wrong. If they are right, they are right. There is no in between here and I call out anyone on it. Wether it's her or the president, things need to be done the right way. By the end of the day, my sister and I are always the bad ones cause we want to be left out.
Gah. That doesn't sound fun at all. I hope your Mom can see some middle ground. Until then, yeah...I would completely tell her that you don't want to hear about it and it's so far beyond a "need" for support that the only resolution can be those who are actually in conflict with.
My Mom has like this "jealousy" streak that affects almost every relationship she disapproves of...even just a slight will just make her suspicious. My siblings and I don't care what she thinks of her brother's wife; it's up to him if she makes him happy...no matter the circumstances or whatever. That's an opinion and not something worth threatening family relations over. Ironically, that's the sort of "right" way she was soooo against my step-dad of (his way or the highway) and so got so fed up that she couldn't resist cheating. :shrug:...people are strange...and I'm pretty sure I'll be single for the rest of my life.
ah-hem...today I worked. Came home and made delicious burritos, found out my ASL homework wasn't due 'til next week but that my programming homework that is due Friday is more complicated than I thought. Overall, good day.

Slept in, then went online. Watched Dr Phil and Oprah. Then showered and headed out to travel agent for quote on the upcoming trip I want to take. Came home and rested and watched a film. Now am on my way out to eat chinese for dinner.

Usual routine of getting hubby off at 5:30, then cat chores. Breakfast for 3 (eggs and grits). 2 libraries, bank, 2 Michael's Arts & Craft stores, GameStop and PetSmart. Came home, had to be Dr. Mommy/Nursey Nicely for my daughter. Bad accident with her bike. Crap on the road left by high school kids and she was turning corner and went down on her left side. Wrist is now in an ace bandage with ice on and off and left arm up to shoulder and left hip and leg very sore. On her bike, the left brake handle (front brake) broke totally off and her wicker basket is shattered. She's in a lot of pain and has been given Tylenol. Neighbor saw it happen and made a report to the local neighboring police officer about the mess on the road from the students. Daughter will be fine, just in a lot of pain for a few days.

That sounds brutal. At my college, they always had two terps for sessions like yours.

This past Monday, I brought all my info regarding Federal Tax IRS form 1099 (and W-2 form as well) that my attorney will take care of. (I asked him if I could use his name as a reference, if that is OK with him. He said he would be very glad to be a reference for me. Yay!!)
This past Tuesday, I installed new mesh-mounted glass mosaic tile backsplash on the kitchen's wall. It took me 3 hours to do it. This was my first experience. It came out pretty good... It's almost done. (I felt so good about installing it by myself. ).
Yesterday, I went to join all d/Deaf senior citizens for lunch at the food court at the mall after shopping. (I went to Nordstrom store, I found what I like and so, I bought a business dress and a pair of new shoes for a job interview.) I had a very nice time with them.
Today, I am going to Home Depot to buy some non-sanded grout (for mesh-mounted glass mosaic tile backsplash) and other stuffs. Then, I will be off to work later this afternoon. Blah.. LOL..
