Glad to hear the project wasn't a group one if it upset you so much. I am hoping for rain tonight; it was a very warm day and rain is always better for my plants than tap water... and easier for me too! ;)Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-27995073864276411162009-08-27T02:13:33.630+02:002009-08-27T02:13:33.630+02:00You are sounding very well, Irene, and it looks go...You are sounding very well, Irene, and it looks good on you.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-75120938652991012512009-08-26T20:54:35.956+02:002009-08-26T20:54:35.956+02:00I completely understand your panic. I have a need ...I completely understand your panic. I have a need to be in control...to own it...to make it my mine. I'd be so worried that someone would put their colours into my space, or muck up the plan I had in my head, or go over the lines; the boundaries. I have always suffered with this...even when my son was little and I'd spent half an hour with his colouring book and he suddenly came along and wanted to 'help' colouring in my picture. Or putting up the Christmas tree...when he'd hang all the baubles in one place and it made me feel uncomfortable, so I had to wait for him to go to bed so I could rearrange it all.<br /><br />I just think of it as a 'quirk' of mine, and not a problem. I laugh at myself and others laugh with me.<br /><br />We can't all be perfect, can we?Elaine Denninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640829930815645105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-22459629274172116652009-08-26T19:32:18.981+02:002009-08-26T19:32:18.981+02:00glad you cleared that up about the hug and the dog...glad you cleared that up about the hug and the dog.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-68139450282058626242009-08-26T18:47:01.249+02:002009-08-26T18:47:01.249+02:00Oh Lord you made me laugh with the antics of the d...Oh Lord you made me laugh with the antics of the dogs. Too funny Irene. You do see life so such a slant - I love it. There is a pug next door to us - and you are right - totally ugly little dog. Scooter is it's name and it barks away trying to sound like a big dog.<br /><br />On to the topic of doing a project with a group. Have you had many to do like that? I don't know if I could do it either. I'm not good in situations like that - even if I know them. I can work with my brother and The Man very well. Add in any more than that and I can't. <br />Maybe it's my need to be in control of myself and the situation. <br /><br />Your therapist sounds wonderful. How lucky you are Irene. You have good people looking after you there. They won't try and hurt you and they try to help.aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-20189085263960517272009-08-26T18:16:37.436+02:002009-08-26T18:16:37.436+02:00the therapist dealt with you very well.

LOL <br />Still - all adds to the excitement.<br /><br />Funny, reminds me that my ex taught me to drive a motorbike in a very short time, before we were married. <br />He tried to teach me to drive a car after we were married, then he had no patience, it was disastrous and he got very annoyed with me for not grasping all the essentials immediately - shouting and carrying on. <br /><br />Many years later we were speaking about it and he said 'Ah yes, but I had a higher expectation of my wife" LOL - so those double standards just carry on...<br />One set of expectations and constraints for the wife, another for the friend.lebanesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988892248196307424noreply@blogger.com
