Can I order a Grinch Heart?

I can't stand that I am so tender hearted. It seems as if I'm getting my ONE feeling hurt so much lately. I can't stand it.

I love that I cry when my kids bare their heartfelt testimony on mothers day of how funny I am. That I sacrafice so much for them. They ask me to do something and I do it. Their friends call me mom number 2, or Super MOM.

Yet, there is someone always to take their foot and swipe it and I fall to the ground. Or I get punched in the back and I can't catch my breath!

I wished there was a magic box that would tell me what I'm supposed to learn from the pushes, and the punches and the trips.

I prayed about going to Grand Junction with Chris and Adrienne. The thought of hanging out with Trish, and GG, and Auntie J and Auntie Laurie got me over giddy!

I said to Adrienne, I would love to go with you guys, but I can't leave until 4:00 (Shai doesn't get off the bus). Chris said he's leaving at 2:00.

OUCH! FLAG!!! They don't want you to go.

I called Chris. He said I could go but I couldn't hang out with them. They are going to do what they are going to do and I cannot tag along. I said, who says I want to tag along. I'm okay with it as long as you don't leave me in Denver. Haha.

And there is a stipulation. If you are annoying I get to tell you you are being annoying, is that okay?

I said.........Well, I guess I won't go, because I don't want to be the dead aunt on the top of the station wagon. (national lampoons vacation with chevy chase)

I tried really hard to laugh it off. The more I thought about it (and still do) tears just stream down my face!

I texted him and her to ask WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MAKE YOU SAY THAT? I'm puzzled. I'm confused. But I guess that is just me. Put it on the list of ANNOYING!

I really wished I had the heart of a grinch. Small and no one could TOUCH IT!

you are much like me. what other people have to say to me is important, but I listen too closely sometimes. my heart bruises easy. i have a view of you as being a very strong, confident woman. :OP

My confidence only comes from Heavenly Father. He told me several times I am who I am. But when people around you try to make you small like they are, it starts to wear on a person. Elaine, I don't see the Love. I don't feel the spirit there either. Its really hard!

Thank you ladies
