There are a couple on there, mostly not tagged. I am EXTREMELY camera shy, though and my family mostly understands (without being told) NOT to post (or for the most part TAKE) pictures of me. I actually have a post in my drafts folder that touches on this topic. Maybe it's time to dust it off. In the meantime, I will be brave and message you the one not-entirely-appalling pic that IS on Facebook. :)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-44736748113870719082012-09-04T09:33:11.384-04:002012-09-04T09:33:11.384-04:00I'm a bit envious of your relationship with yo...I'm a bit envious of your relationship with your Mother in law, and also happy for you:) I need more people in my life that inspire me to be the best person I can be. Thanks for sharing this story:) p.s. Is it weird that I REALLY want to see a picture of you? I FB stalked you to no avail:Pcdnkarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300104667616840616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-73749585398247004032012-09-03T20:02:19.522-04:002012-09-03T20:02:19.522-04:00I like the way you think about dishes, Sleepy Joe!...I like the way you think about dishes, Sleepy Joe! <br /><br />If it's any consolation regarding mothers-in-law, my relationship with my own mother was considerably thornier. She passed away in 1994 and I miss her daily, but...my blood pressure still goes up when I think of some of the "conversations" we had over the years.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-23139516344531395132012-09-03T20:00:16.075-04:002012-09-03T20:00:16.075-04:00Thanks!

Just for one, she adopted my husband and his younger brother out of foster care when they were nearly five and two-and-a-half respectively. And I do feel blessed to have her in my life--and especially blessed that Hubby had her in his young life. It made all the difference for him, I think.

I left it as it is because I think that certain aspects of my life would be better and, maybe even easier, if I were more on top of tasks and perhaps a little less impulsive about what comes out of my mouth. Alas, I'm doomed/blessed to be stuck being me because I'm too lazy for much in the way of self-tinkering. :)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-80658034184529629642012-09-03T14:40:35.553-04:002012-09-03T14:40:35.553-04:00I love that you express such deep respect an admir...I love that you express such deep respect an admiration for your mother-in-law this way.

I guess I wonder if having the dishes all done before moving on to what you need to do is necessarily the best thing. Or putting a lid on expression. Or perhaps even is being shocked by the world the best version?<br />Frankly, I suspect that the best version of you is the real you - the one who might be tired or who feels too much or who is creative and uses cool duct tape to fix the toilet seat. The best version of you might be the one who is not wearing a like M-in-L mask. hmmmmmGraciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-35877814297092554062012-09-02T03:06:07.651-04:002012-09-02T03:06:07.651-04:00Can we swop mother in laws??

I struggle with the fact she shows little to no regard for her son and treats him like a vending machine!<br /><br />I am glad you find you find her visits more positive but maintaining that level of perfection is almost impossible, besides who cares if there are dirty dishes in the sink? At least they are not dotted around the house!Sleepy Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221803835813688522noreply@blogger.com
