The only people I know who really get along well with their relatives are living blandly happy and unproductive lives, if that's any comfort.Dame Eleanor Hullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512884104691200975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-16676508077281346612011-07-14T11:54:32.577-04:002011-07-14T11:54:32.577-04:00(((((Dr. K))))(((((Dr. K))))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-73469504956486111212011-07-10T13:53:59.383-04:002011-07-10T13:53:59.383-04:00can you put on headphones and scour the craigslist...can you put on headphones and scour the craigslist ads in Postdoc Place?Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-62500196922562825642011-07-10T13:44:36.214-04:002011-07-10T13:44:36.214-04:00Props to you, amigo.

After about 12 hours, I'm ready to blow that popsicle stand. <br /><br />Hang in there...It's just a few weeks. In the meantime, hope the drama is minimized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-9645436448539280972011-07-10T12:28:17.395-04:002011-07-10T12:28:17.395-04:00My God -- it's like we're living parallel ...My God -- it's like we're living parallel lives. Two days into living with my mom, I was panicking: <i>"Will I be able to endure this until the first week of August???"</i> It's not <i>all</i> her fault. Part of it is that my dad died in this house. Part of it is that my mom is a control freak who undermines me around my kids. Part of it is that this house isn't really big enough for five people to live in. There are a lot of other things -- plenty of bad memories and ghost stories. But the essential information equals out to this: I (and my family) need my own place ASAP. <br /><br />In fact, hubby has to go to California for an event in two weeks. Instead of staying here with the kids, I'm "letting" my mom babysit for the weekend and going with him. I'm like, get me the f out of here! Even two days will seem like a tonic. Ahhhh... But then, coming back will be unhappy times indeed. Grr!<br /><br />All this is to say, I feel for you. Massively.Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.com
