Might if I knew what it was.

"Being a lifetime wife and mother has afforded me the luxury of having multiple and even simultaneous careers: I’ve been a chauffeur. A chef. An interior decorator. A landscape architect, as well as a gardener. I’ve been a painter. A furniture restorer. A personal shopper. A veterinarian’s assistant and sometimes the veterinarian.... An accountant, a banker, and on occasion, a broker. I’ve been a beautician. A map. A psychic. Santa Claus. The Tooth Fairy. The T.V. Guide. A movie reviewer. An angel. God....For a long time I have felt like I inadvertently got my master’s in How to Take Care of Everybody Except Yourself and then a Ph.D. in How to Pretend Like You Don’t Mind. But I do mind."

What that book I just title quoted?
I didn't know your hub was sick.
I had a miscarriage several months ago....not to say that your troubles are less....but that book I quoted dealt with miscarriage and husband ickysickness and inlawness crazies...

Yeah, that's the blurb on the inside cover.
18594. Magoseph - 2/17/2006 12:28:53 PM
She's a complainer, though, Ulgine.
18595. Ulgine Barrows - 2/17/2006 12:31:41 PM
well...anyway... if you need a laugh in between your hub dying, you might read that....your post sounded so stark and final and desperate, do you have other family close by?
18596. Ulgine Barrows - 2/17/2006 12:33:03 PM
aaaaaah.....we crossposted and I don't know who is complaining
18597. Magoseph - 2/17/2006 12:35:18 PM
Terry McMillan is the complainer, not me.
I could tell quite a bit about … husband ickysickness and inlawness crazies... you know.--now in retrospective, I think that my attitude toward these people was really the problem.

....your post sounded so stark and final and desperate, do you have other family close by?
I didn't mean it that way, but you're sweet to care. Yes, plenty of family around and good friends, maybe too many of them butting in..:)

Well there are some lines that are easy to miss in her books that may redeem her, and I could go get the book and drag us through this, but we could talk about something else.
I'm open to a new topic.
18600. Ulgine Barrows - 2/17/2006 12:46:04 PM
Such as Rachyl Ray, and her new recipes.
18601. Ulgine Barrows - 2/17/2006 12:47:21 PM
Or the air guns my son wants us to buy for his 11th birthday.

Or how you don't feel your time is your own, but make it snappy.
