I'm feeling really sad about Mama's passing today. Lots of crying and my heart racing. I wish I didn't have so much to do this week so I could just lay down and take a break. I feel bad that I couldn't afford a memorial service for my mom. Just the cremation, which was her wish. My Aunt who came with me to view Mama at the funeral home yesterday said she would talk to the rest of the family and see about coming up with the money to have one. Still...I would feel bad that I couldn't come up with the money.

@bestVase7265 how was your day?

P.S. My daughter made banana bread that she didn't like in her kids baking class today and she was complaining that the class is boring. It's so hard to please her. I tried to sign her up for something fun for the summer and I guess it isn't good enough. She said no to soccer and other suggestions.

I think expressing yourself creatively in that way is a good thing as long as you protect yourself emotionally. I think that you are doing that. Everyone deserves freedom of expression. I sing in church but I am not conservative in any way. My denomination is the most liberal and goes by the phrase "no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here." 

More important at this point - protect your time from being overwhelmed by children. 

I hope that you get some good sleep and rest. 

SweetPea321 OP January 13th

I just typed a big message and the app crashed. I'm not typing all that again. Anyway... thinking of you, Vase. Tired. Eldest daughter and her bf are here for the weekend. Hope you are well. Take care 🙂

Not particularly well at the moment, but thanks. Away for my aunt's funeral today and fly home tomorrow. Found out yesterday that I didn't get a job that I really wanted. Hopefully next week will be better. Very tired.

Glad that your daughter and boyfriend are visiting. For longer messages, I usually copy the message before I hit post so then I don't lose it. I also use the computer rather than the app because the app is dicey.@SweetPea321
