Hi, I'm happy!!!
I hope everyone else is doing great, too. I am having a WONDERFUL weekend so far, and since it's a holiday tomorrow, either labor day or memorial day we have the day off school, and I'm spending most of it with my favorite person, my memaw, mom's mom. it's amazing how two people can be sssooooo different!
Take me and Teri, my twin sister for example. I like books, she likes music. I'm a night prerson, she's a day person. Some qualities, good and bad are: I'm less social, more quiet and I like peacful things, like walking in the park, instead of what she like, loud crowds, musivc, dancing, fun. I'd rather stay home with a good book or the computer. I an tolerate kids, she can't as much. I listen more, she talks. I'm compassionate, she's aggresive. In a fight, I'm weak and she's strong. Physically we weigh almost the same, but I have more muscles and only weigh less then I should because I "diet" by starving, purging, excer. etc. When I want to do something I stick with it, she changes her mind a lot. I want to know what others think, but she HAS to know what others think, she dresses and stuff only to fit in with others, I dress in what I like that's comfortable, basically, I'm no leader but she's a def. follower. Imhave to get bothersome things out in my own way, she holds things in, that's probably why I hae a diary here and she doesn't.
My mom and Grandma are differnt as night and day, too. Grandma wanted me over because she said she missed me, like I'm some special perso, she makes me feel like the most important thing in the world. My mom is never home herself because she'd rather be away from us. She yells and hits. She likes to be in control. Memaw she talks to you and tries to joke with you until you can't help but not be mad anymore, and laugh. I matter to Memaw, once before a vacation she asked me what she would ever do without me. She's the best Grandmother a girl could ever want or need. I have missed her, too,but always figured she'd be there and we work all of the time, and so it's been hard to do as much as visit. I love her to death. I don't think that I would have survived living without her, she lived with us when I was younger then moved, and since mom had to start being a parent to us since Grandma wasn't there to feed us, help us clean our rooms, time me getting ready for school, well, mom never learned how to do it. We were already about 7 years old and she started sleeping a lot, and going "out" I think that with Grandma's love and support, ess. when I most needed it, like after the time mom was strangling me and the police were called and all, I got to spend the night with Memaw, who holds me and tells me she loves me. She makes everything all right. I have always wanted to live with her and not mom but I can't. She is older and she does work and stuff and has a life, but anytime I need or want to even talk to her I can call, or come over. Now Sue and her will NEVER die. If THEY were about to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them but would be at the bottom and catch them when they fell. I read that on a few emails I've been given and it's true.
he party was a lot of fun and I ate a few appetizers, some celery and a hot wing, which probably got dissolved by all of my water, it was too hot for me! Then I ordered regular food and couldn't eat it so I took it home to the fridge.
Well, gotta go read and then lay by my Memaw who will hold me, and say our prayers and sleep, then get up and have a wonderful day with her until 3, I work till 7, then go home and get ready for school, take my trazodone and sleep. Go to school and have a wonderful week to write about. take Care!!!! love, Mary :)

    Great to read such a happy upbeat entry.

    I'm glad you have such a sweet grandmother and I hope you'll always appreciate her. Believe me, the grandmother/child bond can be stronger than you realilze. You are special to her and you won't realize how special until you're a g-mother yourself. My grandmother was so great that I've always felt sorry for people who did't have one or weren't close to them.

    It's funny how different you and Teri are. I think people who aren't twins imagine that they are alike in everything.

    I hope you and g.m. have a great Labor Day together!!

    Love,
