TOTALLY GEEKED!

I miss DD being little too. It goes by too fast. Yesterday was so busy at work. Hopefully today will be much better. Have a great day geeks!

Sweating!

I don't want to go back to toddler age. It was a difficult time for me, with the stress of the in-laws and then the tantrums. Very difficult time for me. Like the age they are now. Trying to figure out how to stop the clock.

DS1 was much easier than DS2, but I never wanted to kill either one.

Pre-Friday is my new favorite word.

LOL  You didn't have our DS. Yup, many a time when we wanted to kill him. That's why he owes us a dozen grand kids.

Fair enough!

Has he agreed to the dozen kids???

flan

No. But SHE says they are having five.

Close enough.  

I have never wanted to keep my kids little. I have looked forward to each age and stage of their lives. Love watching them experience new things. See them growing and becoming the men and women God put them here to be.

Morning ya'll.

I got a bit sun burned yesterday.

I have a red neck and one sun burned knee.

Vette that just sucks. It doesn't sound like she is well suited to her job. I hope she isn't as cavalier with her patients personal information.

Morning everyone.

I volunteer to slap her.

Deal!

Put me in line to slap her. Good gosh, she's a witch.

Sorry, Vette, you are enduring her bad mouth.

Vette, So sorry that she did that to you. Makes me really glad that I can confide in my MIL and am grateful we have a great relationship.

Kids, they grow up way too fast. But I would not change anything since DSS has finally turned into a wonderful grown up. It was touch and go for a little while there but the woman he married has really changed him for the better since they got together (he was rather lazy in his ways before).

Today, I did some more gardening but it was too humid out there. I still have some seeds I want to plant but that won't take long at all. I'll wait for either the cooler evening or early morning weather.

Need to finish cleaning the spare room where mom and companion stayed. Everything feels sticky. They spilled something on the throw rug so that has to come out and be washed. Kitchen floor needs to be mopped again because it is sticky. I swear they left a sugar dust around them. And they both claim to be diabetic but were eating sugary thing after sugary thing.

Also working on school work. One of my assignments is to get all my security clearance/background checks done. That's easy, I did it for my insurance license.

Oh, and maybe a nap. Struggling to keep the eyes open.

So I made the mistake of confiding in SO's mom that I'm bipolar, because she works with mentally ill people and I thought she might be someone I could talk to if I needed.

But now she brings it up every chance she gets, she even loudly asked about my cutting habit (which I haven't done in years) at a public breakfast table in front of SO's son who is nine. She's turned out to be very insensitive and I don't know how she works with people like me. She has even gone so far as to imply that I might not be safe to be around SO's son.

Wth? I don't want to ruin my relationship with her but I'm not gonna lie I feel pretty violated.

SO needs to tell her to STFU, and suggest to her that she's violating HIPPA regulations. AND your privacy.

If she won't shut up, she needs to be evaluated by a neurologist for possible small stokes.

 

Unless she NEVER had a filter. Then she's just a mean, thoughtless person.

---

 That's not a HIPAA violation, Ed. its just really rude. 

I'm sorry, Vette.  It really sucks to find out you can't trust someone after you've told them something private.

Why would you tell her in the first place?

Lesson learned I guess.

Sorry she is like that.

---

 Because she works with people with similar problems.

 So? 

Two things.

Outside of work she is not bound by any HIPPA laws.

And she is a mom. She worries about her son and grandson.

1. I never said that she was bound by HIPAA laws.

2. She should know that a bipolar person whose illness is controlled by meds is NOT a danger to her son or grandson.

 She broke no HIPPA laws and I'm sure she has had no stroke.  Let's not jump off the deep end.  The mistake was you confiding in her.  It's like being a detective on the rape squad.  You see potential trouble everywhere.  While I think her behavior is terrible I don't think that makes her bad at what she does for a living.  Oftentimes people take their work home with them and it influences their daily lives.  I think that's probably what happened here.  She sees the worst of the worst and doesn't want her son and grandson around it.  She's trying to protect them.  I'm really sorry though.  She shouldn't treat you like this.

 Vette - you need to call her on this when she does it and in front of everyone.  "I confided in you about very personal matters.  I had no idea you would throw them back in my face in front of others every chance you got.  You can bet I will not be telling you anything private ever again."  This SHOULD shame her, and it WILL show her that you will not be bullied by this behavior.

 I like this too.

HE needs to address his mother. HE needs to tell her to cut it out.

If my SO let his mom talk badly about me especially in front of his son I would be thinking long & hard about the relationship. Is he a mommas boy, a wimp, or does he not respect me enough to speak up? Just a little food for thought.

 I agree.  Unless there's a reason why my DH always stands up for me.  This is one reason we don't associate with my parents.  My parents will say negative things about me in front of him and he would have to kill them.
