Between Friday morning and this morning, each threw a disrespectful fit over missing pieces of laundry. Umm, the missing item this morning was a soccer shirt left flung over a kitchen chair on Thursday. Imagine that after yelling at me, trashing the laundry room, and, more disrespect, my 17 yo daughter found it in her pile of clean clothing!? I'm also feeling unloved by my husband, whose not even sat with me to discuss my surgery appointment or plan, let alone I had to go alone to the appointment.

I'm feeling very low and sorry for myself today... very lonely, and hungry, but I can hardly eat...
