Working it Out



i suppose for awhile, all my entries are going to begin with, "It's been a hectic day today." There is no way around that when you are trying to run a business out of the home you just added 3 extra people to, 2 of which include a 20 month old and an autistic 5 year old, parent a special needs child, and be a slave to your Master. Unfortunately, my routine is out of whack and i am forgetting slave duties that i don't normally forget. Or i get side-tracked and forget to come back to what i was doing.


Part of it is that i'm trying to make things as easy as i can on my daughter as today was D-Day for her. She sent her husband the email telling him that she wasn't coming home. She told him on the phone a few days ago that they weren't going to be together. Master and i are insulating her from contact with him and his family right now. All contact will go through me. Aren't i lucky? Fortunately, Master has decided that we are going to give him some time to calm down, so i don't have to answer the phone this weekend. That makes Monday, my D-Day.


i'm hoping that once we get the kids on a good schedule and things settle down, i won't have such a hard time with things. It didn't help that i was sick the day her flight landed and i'm just now getting healthy. i'm not at my full potential right now but i am almost there. i'm not trying to make excuses for my being all over the place right now. i'm just talking through the reasons and thinking of ways that i can make sure i'm the best slave, mom, and nana that i can be.

I am very happy the day has come, and is almost past. She is brave, and I am so proud of her, and you for letting me take control of this whole ordeal.

It has actually gone quite smooth, but I am sure it is the calm before the quake.

The key is that she is on track, and has a plan, and they all seem to be doing so well here!

I love you,
Master

Im glad you have someone who truly understands whats going on. Its really tough, but you know your not the only mom out there that is the voice in the middle. Thats what my mom is doing right now, i am having no direct contact except drop off and pick up. Its going to be hard but i think you have enough support to weather this.

you are a very strong woman/slave and i know that if you keep following your Master's plan for this there will be a lowering of damage to all those involved. However I wouldn't want to be you on Monday....There's always I don't choose to discuss this (insert name) good-bye and hang up the phone. I'm sure though your Master will have a good plan for you when Monday and D day arrives.

My best to your Master and family and of course BIG HUGS to you.
