so abby's despair was inconsolable and obsessive last night and obviously gained a great deal of pity and support from my mom who took the oppoortunity to bash my parenting skills. oh what fun to have had an intolerant, inflexible unloving mother to me turn and berrate me because my daughter forgot her library books.
here's the extent it went to. i had left my sunglasses in my parent's car from our dinner tuesday night. my dad called and asked if i'd like him to drop them off last night as they were going to drive by our house anyway. i said i was planning to pick them up, but if he wanted to that would be great. i came home to find the sunglasses with a note from my mom that said, "see, even a 42 year old forgets things". Oh, #&@% you too.

damn she's seriously looking to dance.....and she knows your buttons and how to engage you in it.
you manage to contain and balance your shadow so well....then your mom decides to hers loose on you!
not that you even need to honor her comment with a response, but of course you are aware that there is a big difference between a 2nd grader who feels that she is beyond the need to 'follow the rules'. i mean truthfully, it's not really an issue of 'following the rules', but rather, 'appearing to follow the rules' ie, playing the game. that's a much smaller pill to swallow, especially for those of us who like to live by our own rules(no apology implied).
Still another person who compelled to backhand another to make a point is seriously unbalanced and needs lots of patience and prayer. expect nothing more than that and you will not be disappointed. [hmmmm, this reminds me of my own situation with tix, and a ned to take some of my own advice].
some things refuse to change (ie yield to the tender beckoning finger of organic psychic evolution)
your unapologetic wisdom is appreciated as always. i think you're dead on. so, i'll just say a prayer, look to the lesson and move on.
