Relax

Hey, Amanda.

Relax. Don't think of these posts as published or concentrate on writing only things you deem publishable. Therapy is good. It's the point. Isn't it what all those volumes (still at my parents'...oops) were about? So, pretend it's those Pier 1 journals we passed back and forth and that we are the only ones reading the entries (which may, at this point, be the case)....And, um, since when aren't you and I the queens of play-by-plays? You did read my weepy weekend story, did you not?....A, you are too hard on yourself--in both writing and parenting realms, and it is a goal of mine to help you work on that through these entries....

Anyway, I'm glad J is home safe and sound and that you're out to dinner. As for M's friend? You exercised great restraint as far as I'm concerned. I would have shoved his head in the toilet...or wanted to....

Love you and look forward to reading more from you. B
