My doll – I missed you. Oy Vey – hang in there, I honestly don’t know how you do it. I was telling Jimmy last week that you haven’t written your blog in a while. As long as your feeling good. Life is so strange at times… Oh I wish I could taste your baked goods!! I agree with Gina it’s a privilege to have you as a friend.

in Mikey’s words my Fran “Life is a series of event…” well we know how the rest goes. I am proud of you and privileged to be your friend.

Another thought from a fellow “terrible mother”… I tell my kids, on those occasions when they notice what a bad mom I am (not allowing my 11-year-old a cell phone, not planning camping trips when I’m recovering from pneumonia, not buying brand-name clothes for my teenager…Horrors almost as bad as not making an 18-year-olds lunch!), I tell them: “Oh, what a relief. Now you’ll have something specific to tell your therapist when you’re thirty. I’d hate for you to run out of stuff to talk about.” Cue the eye-rolling, but I’ll survive, and so will you. You must be a great mom–your kid is alive, and he’s even smart enough to complain in a way that will push your buttons. smart kids come from good moms. Be well!

Welcome Back!!!! I have missed you and understand the complete chaos of life getting in the way of the things you love. Trust me, you have survived worse than an 18 year old who thinks he knows better than anyone and taking the time to figure out what is best for you. One day at a time, look at the end rather than the immediate present, and know that it will all work out in the end. Are you a terrible mother? We all are in the eyes of our children at some point or another – enjoy it, you can remind them of it when they give birth to their first child especially since it isn’t true. You are the mother you were meant to be and they will be better adults for it when they realize that everyone else’s mother is much crazier than you!
Miss you and hope the bakery is baking away and doing great!

I kept saying “I’m not going to cry, I’m not going to cry, that Frances can’t do it to me this time.”
You so and so.
