friday

Daughter was in the homecoming day parade this evening.
my sister called me on the phone while i was watching the parade.
she says she can't stand her husband. she said she wishes he'd just "shut the fuck up for a couple of minutes. he never shuts the fuck up!"

my other sister called to tell me that dad told her that mom isn't doing so well. so i called mom to see what's up. she asked if i was calling to check up on her. so i told her what dad told my sister. mom says "i'm feeling fine. the problem is that your dad is an ass. he's a real ASS and i'm not speaking to him. i havent talked to him for 3 days. i'm not sick. i'm just not speaking to your dad."

the parade was sweet. daughter ran over to the side of the street to give me a hug. her cheeks were pink from the cool air and she had a beautiful smile on her face. she seemed so happy. made me feel good.

i told my sister to stick with her marriage.......but only because she asked me if she should......and it's really what i think she should do. plus i think she's just pms.
i told my mom that maybe she should consider getting a divorce. They've been married 52 or 53 years....... and I was hoping she'd see how absurd my advise was and it would make her laugh. it didn't make her laugh but hopefully she felt better just by being able to tell someone how pissed off she is at dad.
