Some of the positive relationships in your life (such as the one you had with her) were associated with spending money (among other things of course, I’m not suggesting that this is the only thing she did to show you she cared), while the negative ones (your dad, for ex.) did not care for material things to an extreme – my mom is the same way, so I know where you’re coming from. An interesting blog you might have heard about for financial management is called the simple dollar – you might want to check it out. I’ve found it really useful.

I know that the therapy sessions are not fun, but the fact that you are doing whatever you can to make sure that you are not like your mother was to you is wonderful. Your girls are truly lucky to have a mom who loves them so much. :-)

I was the tomboy too. I got down on myself about not being able to carry the twins to term. I live for compliments, too. I never really thought about why, but I am sure it is some deep seeded self-esteem issue.

Maybe I should consider therapy sessions too….might be a little too scary….

Also a scary thing when we see where our habits came from and that we now hold that power in our little hands. I still so envy your therapy sessions; I can only imagine how much better you must feel after each.
Oh, and I love the first shot in the previous post…beautiful!!

You are most definitely not leading an unexamined life. Good for you, on looking within, working out why you do the things you do. You are doing a great service to your girls, your hubby … but most of all yourself.

Be gentle on yourself. XOX

I’m glad that you are taking those steps.

You need to fry up those onions with some peppers and marinara sauce. Poor it over some pasta and digest. ;-)
