Leslie Nord's Random Thoughts on Friends, Family and Life

I never was much of a writer - more like a rambler that easily gets lost in a tangent. My blog lets me go out on those tangents any time I want to. So remember, life is like a roller coaster: sit down and hang on. Sometimes you'll want to scream, sometimes you'll puke, but give it a chance and you'll find it can be a lot of fun.

Give Her A Break

December 28, 2008 by leslie Leave a Comment

I’m sure there will be some that will be dumbfounded by me telling Megan to give her father’s new girlfriend a break, but in the grand scheme of things it will make life easier for all of us if she does.

She had such a difficult time adjusting to the idea of me being with someone else. She took it out on both Jeff and myself to such extremes. She acted out when she missed her father or felt guilty being with me. Anger and emotional blackmail were the tools of choice. Jeff wanted to be like a father to her, but at the time, pushing him away with her behavior. Now we have to explain to her how nurturing can be stronger than nature when we mention how alike the two of them are.

So I remind her, if her father is happy it will make her life easier. Even though I still think he’s a lying SOB with the stories he has told about me (all that matters to me is that my sister has seen through it), it’s time for her to grow up. All I want is for Megan to be happy, because if she’s happy, I’m happy. And someday when she is married, she will make Jeff a very happy grandpa.

Merry Christmas, Five Years Later

December 26, 2008 by leslie Leave a Comment

Just a quick Merry Christmas to all. Hopefully in the next few days I can do a year end wrap up. It’s been five years since I started blogging. Perhaps the blog can take a new direction in 2009, maybe more meaningless chatter about strange movies, recipes and life’s funny little quirks – like how Fortune Cookies scare me.

To all, I hope you have had a very Merry Christmas. To my other two daughters, I’m still here, but I’m leaving the ball in your court. To my sister, enjoy that white Christmas! And to my husband, thanks for believing in me and supporting my efforts to make this web thing happen.

God Bless ya’ll!

Christmas Cats

Cody probably will get that train if I don’t keep an eye on him. I’ll need to try and get a picture of Kittyboy AKA the Village Cat.

Those of you who were betting that my knees would be the first "metal" replacements, you lost. I now have a bit of titanium in my cervical spine. I wonder if the doc will give me a pic of the post-op x-rays?

Those who know me, know to send lavender roses and daisies.
