Very nice graduation ceremony except we had to go to the basement to ride out what was thought to be a tornado.
I love storms and wasn't happy about not being able to witness it first hand.
Ceremony was about as long as Travis' was last year but I didn't end up with the sore back and butt like I did at his.
Sat with X and my X parents-in-law.
Haven't seen them since Travis' graduation last June and I told them never to forget me.
They said, "How could we?"
Well, they did but I did get a card at X-Mas and my B-Day.
Even my X best friend (my X sister-in-law, called on my Birthday.
Do these people who claim/claimed to have loved me, think I'm so busy that I need to hear from them only once or twice a YEAR?
I don't get it but I can't dwell on it either.
I hated the fact that I was supposed to be "nice" to them today and "happy" to see them but they were genuinely nice and happy to see me so I didn't have a hard time reciprocating the feelings at all.
Went to my X's for supper after and met Justin's girlfriend's parents for the 1st time.
(They've been going out a year so I guess that was about time too.)
Nice enough people.
They have money and I "hear" that they "know" it and I don't care for that aspect in ANYone.
But, it was a first time meeting and maybe I took it the wrong way.
(I doubt it but I will give them the benefit of the doubt....for now. :)
Landlord texted me telling me I was missing the storm of the year and that he closed all of my windows.
Figures that I'm a NEAT FREAK and my house looked anything BUT neat today. :)
SO....all the anxiety, worry, sick stomach and lack of sleep was for naught!
I guess it usually is but tell my BRAIN that! :)
WOW.....for a CHANGE...this wasn't too negative of a post....don't you agree?? 
Well I only know you from my last month on this website and from your posts, etc. I think at some point, you're going to have to find a way to deal with all your anger and resentment - to let it go.
I hope you don't mind me "butting in" on this, but it was the first thing that came to my mind.

??????Funny, this was actually a darn positive post for me.?????
(And I'm sure, most would agree.)
Thanks for your opinion although there isn't any anger.
Possibly resentment but then again, you don't know me so you couldn't possibly understand my circumstance which is very understandable!!
I suppose, it all depends on what on perceives when they "read" compared to what they "hear."

Yes, Love this post...most of it! lol. I don't know, non of my ex in laws sent me Christmas cards or b.day cards (well, at first, but then it stopped. Guess if I was a card sender it wouldn't have stopped tho! lol. They never got one from me) I think you should feel thought about, and I bet it's more than once or twice a year!!! (o;
Glad it went well! You sound like you had a good time! Good for you!
Careful what you let get in your head about your son's girlfriend, too. It will only make you THINK right off the bat that they THINK they are all that! You be the judge. For right now, just like them (o; Later, you may love them! (o;
Love ya Gaye,

Yes, such a positive Journal!!(Don't think I have even written ONE, myself!!!)I am so very pleased and glad to read it...I have ALWAYS thought that you have WHAT IT TAKES to be happy inside you.(Not all of us do.) that capacity for joy can just hibernate in you sometimes very long and deeply--but sounds like it is coming back to your life!!!(At last!!)
Hugs, xoxo

That wasn't too negative of a post. You said what was on your mind. That's why we're all here Gaye. You did pretty good hangin' with all the X's. I wouldn't have been able to do that, but that's just me I guess. Good for you!
I'm glad everthing went well, and now it's over.

You are a better woman than me, sitting with all the X's! But I had a bad marriage and HATE my X, but his family loved me more than him. Congrats on your son's graduation. Your post sounds wonderful and yes, sometimes there are negative things going on in our lives and it's good to get them out and put them on paper, nothing wrong with that, but you sound great.
