My mom is awesome too. She is retired and she does everything for everybody. If we are sick, and want someone to go to the doctor with us, she is always there. One time I was so sick, but was determined to go to a meeting in Olympia, she drove me. I live in Elwha, Olympia is about a 3-hour drive. She is so kind and loving and caring, everything a mom is supposed to be.
I feel sad for people who don't have awesome parents like me. Like you ever hear people say, I don't talk to my mom. When I first heard someone say this, I could not believe it. I then began to learn how truly awful people can be. How can someone be cruel to their own child? I have a friend who is always in competition with her sisters, okay a set of friends I can think of. It's the mothers in these relationships that has made this happen. In one instance, their is always a favorite child. This child is the ONE who goes shopping with mom, gets to share hotel rooms with mom, as the Grandma the children are always favored over the other grandchildren. It's really sad. If this person acts ugly to me, I don't get offended. If you can treat your own offspring so terribly, how can I expect you to treat me kindly? I can't. I'm not offended. There is something wrong with you.
The other set of girls and mother are more healthy than that, but they are all just super competitive and it plays out into jealousy, or, haha, actually the girls are all so super competitive, but they all think that the other sisters are just jealous of them. These ladies are fun and super hilarious.
Okay, I didn't mean to bag on other peoples parents, so I will give an example of a healthy family that I see. This woman I know, she also has 3 daughters, and some beautiful grand babies. She loves all of her daughters and her grand babies with all of her heart. There is no question who her favorite is, because she doesn't have a favorite. The loves them all with all of her heart! No competition. All of her kids play different roles in the family, but the love for all of them is definitely equal.
Last night there was an earthquake around Victoria B.C. Uhm, you can see my rez from over there. I remember being over there for the canoe journey wishing I was home. Looking at how close it was from where I was, and wanting to be there. I didn't end up staying long that year. There were tons of wasps where we were at, and it was just not pleasant. Although the hosts were awesome.
Do you know about that? The Tribal Canoe Journeys is a huge celebration, and the tribes take turns hosting the other tribes to the final destination. When we host, without asking now, we have campers in our front yard and our back yard. We had 200 people from Ahousaht camping in our back yard one year. It was amazing. I also say there was a water miracle that year too, because my washer and shower was going practically non-stop for 5 days and the water never went cold! Seriously! I was always asking people if the water went cold.
My husband has been cleaning and helping us de-clutter. Yep, I use to shop way too much. What do I need? Nothing! I've already bought it. I now spend my money on beads. Okay, I do still need more Danksos. They are the only show I am wearing right now, and I only have 2 pairs. 2 great pairs though! I get tons of compliments on my red Danskos. Okay, I lied. My dad got me these awesome boots, you know the kind your mom hates? They aren't Uggs, but even if they were she'd still hate them anyway? Omigosh, but mom does not know how comfortable they are. I bet if I could get her to wear some for the day she would be converted. For your fashion sense Mama, I will not do that to you though!
Okay, well, my brain actually stopped coming up with thoughts. Some of these thoughts are incomplete, but who cares!
