I am moving. You all know that. Everyone that I work with knows it. My family knows it. My neighbor knows it. So, I was really surprised when my daughter called at 11:00 last night, asking me to babysit today. I said that I couldn't because I have so much to do. She called back this morning and asked again. I said no, and then my SIL got on phone and said he would move the remaining big stuff (which i can't really do) tomorrow and would help me with the final boxing and such. We talked about it in detail. So, I said I would babysit. It was to be from 4 til 8 p.m., at the new house. I went and bought snacks and a sand bucket, so that Stella could help me plant flowers over there. I waited and I waited and I waited til 7:00 p.m. Never mind that I didn't get anything moved. I unpacked everything that was there and almost finished the cat yard. Then I waited. I listened to "Phases and Stages" by Willie and had a good cry and then I listened to Willis Alan Ramsey and just sat there.

I came home and went by the grocery. She just called me. She took Stella to her father's house instead.(She said that I had said no and that anyway, she had said she would call me about it.....She did not say that)..... I was over there, no phone and no way of knowing that.

I asked if they were going to help me and she immediately sighed and I knew right then, that she was not going to "let" Josh help me. I became angry and hung up on her. Well, really, I became hurt and hung up and cried.

I called back and talked to Josh. He lives with it, so he knows what she puts me through. We talked about her having anger management work, but she'll not think she needs it.

I am crushed. I am tired. I am old. I am sore and covered with little bites that I got, while working on the fence.

It hurts me so much that she will do more for her friends, than she will do for me. We went from being really good friends and had a great mother/daughter relationship to this. And I didn't know it was coming. One day she pulled something like this and since then, it's been this way, most of the time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm low, low, low.....pat
