There are times to discuss matters related to her, then the conversation about her is over. It takes work, but it is worth it. We joke and make toilet flushing noises when it's time to stop talking about her and all her crap :)Smirking Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337751877658931171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5547672216318135339.post-37443438612019982932009-09-01T06:54:31.882-07:002009-09-01T06:54:31.882-07:00This post really hit me - it's so true, we nee...This post really hit me - it's so true, we need to cultivate all human relationships, and all vegetable gardens. :-)<br /><br />I guess relationships are no different than friendships that way, if we don't put in the MUTUAL efford, it fades out. But add on the step-stuff and it's even more complicated. Some things people just can't share, and sometimes it seems being a step-mum is all about making compromises - US making the compromises, hard to see sometimes where the hubs do. And that's when the allotment fills up with stupid weeds. <br /><br />I feel for you - hope you find a way!

It's true, sometimes we think that just because we live under the same roof we are connected but without work (and lots of it!) that connection falls to the wayside. We're currently working on this right now too...we have a little trip coming up next month - just us, no cell phones or tv or internet - and we're both so excited to reconnect.<br />Good luck (and can't wait to hear about China!!!).Eyes Wide Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049177383854839898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5547672216318135339.post-83512664129343717842009-08-31T18:46:16.620-07:002009-08-31T18:46:16.620-07:00It may be hard to get going with the gardening, or...It may be hard to get going with the gardening, or anything that gets put off, for that matter, but I find that when I'm into it time just seems to evapourate and I lose myself in what I am doing. I really liked this post and how you relate the cultivation of a garden to the cultivation of our relationships. - GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5547672216318135339.post-15798883796837062952009-08-31T17:21:22.449-07:002009-08-31T17:21:22.449-07:00I have a little swanky something for you at my blo...I have a little swanky something for you at my blog.

I think the China trip will be just what you need to get back on track. And I think the ban on all things BM is great idea!<br /><br />Oh and kudos on the allotment!
