Thanks, MrsD. In the big scheme of things I'm apt to think it's really not that big of a deal. But.....given my circumstances and limitations I just would have thought that he'd have made a smarter decision. Or at least thought it through more thoroughly. Or at least thought of me!

But, it's not all about me. Not really about me at all. As a mother I tend to first think of my children - and I guess that's normal. Kids don't always think of their parents (or in my case their parent) first and I guess that's normal, too.

I get so mad at myself for even feeling disappointed. Because my kids have been so good to me and helped me immensely over the past ten years or so. Maybe I just expect too much from folks and then feel disappointed when they don't live up to my expectations. It helps to put it in writing, though.
