I woke up to do some push-ups and crunches this morning. Just five mins....but it does get the blood rushing up to my head and wakes me up! Made me feel much better after last night's not so great conversation with my mom and I'm totally re-set for a good day now

Ahhh I hope everything worked out!!

Morning Rooney!!!

Good morning girly, I hope things turn out better today

 

[Will2BLean]

Awwe. I hope everything is okay. Way to get those pushups and crunches in to start your day off right, though!

Thanks for your kind words, ladies!

Ahhh I hope everything worked out!!

Things will never work out with the parents and me. I just have to accept the situation for what it is. As they say, you don't get to pick your family. And we live halfway around the world from each other, so the distance has been good for me.

This is what happened:
I sent my mom a gift for her birthday - two sarees (indian clothing) that I did put effort into picking making sure they were age appropriate and colors she would like. Instead of a simple thank you or even no comment, she instead told me they were so ugly and cheap looking, they would be unwearable even by the villagers in India. And she kept going off on how awful they were for another five mins, even after I told her if she didn't like it that she could re-gift it or donate it. I simply had to end the conversation and get off the phone. My blood pressure was off the charts. I haven't talked to her in 3 weeks and this is what she has to say. I hate to say it but I’ve come to realize in my old age that my mom just isn’t a very nice person. Makes me wonder how I even turned out semi-normal at times. I am calmer today although still ticked off. If I didn’t send a gift, that would make me the most ungrateful daughter that ever lived, so there is simply no winning!

Oh boy! Whew! Sounds like my parents.......Sorry to hear your nice gesture went unappreciated....

Ugh. It sucks when you are in a lose-lose situation like that. I would rather give my mom "ugly sarees" than be the worst daughter on earth, though.

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. Take the rest of your frustrations out at the gym!
