this is indeed a problem. i feel your pain as i dealt with this with my own dear spideydaughter, and it caused many arguments between us before she left home. she NOW knows the irritation she caused me as she is now in charge of her own life. (AMEN) and that of a husband.
So as to a solution. Here is my best advice. Tell her she is either to start contributing to the family by completing tasks and waking her self up or she will be looking for a new place to stay. The free ride is over. she is an adult in every legal sense of the word, but unfortunately she is acting like a spoiled child. DO NOT fold her laundry. If she leaves it in the washer, take it out, put it in a basket and let it sit, perhaps till it stinks. Tell her to get herself a good alarm clock. you won’t be waking her anymore. if she is still tired after she wakes up and needs a nap, it might be time for a check up. that is not normal. it looks like some tough love is in order. good luck and you have my deepest sympathy.

I want it for family and friends first, of course. I am very self-aware of my small fish in a small small small pond status as a writer, though, so I am hesitant to dream of it being something more.

But, I would like to get myself syndicated. I would like to get myself published.

Maybe this, whatever it is when it is done, is something I can send out to see if someone might be interested in allowing me to write for them?

That… in a nutshell, my darling, is what I want. I want it to help me dream of trying to achieve something I am afraid I don’t have enough nerve to actually try

ah hormones. those little devils.
don’t feel bad about crying. let it out. i tear up over things too, and i decided to stop fighting it and just let it out. holding it in is much more stressful.

You’re probably onto something. I know this crying thing got worse after MIke’s mom died when I had to hold up his sister and him, and then go to my mom’s for her hernia surgery, and support her. But that was four years ago, you’d think I’d have settled down some!

I gets embarrassing when I’m at work and I start to cry over something I’ve read 9 bajillion times before without the tears.

Gah.

If its hormonal, it doesn’t get any better after the hormones are gone. I have a theory about why we cry over nonsensical things. It has to do with being strong and holding in emotions when it might be inappropriate, emotionally dangerous, whatever, to tear up. Stupid as it is to cry over issues in which we have no real emotional investment, I think it is a way for us to relieve/release the stress that has built up in other areas. I also think that it’s a pretty common practice and represents a growth in empathetic feelings- a move away from the self-centered drive we have as younger adults (being self-centered at certain times in our life is totally appropriate and not a bad thing). We finally have enough life experiences to place ourselves emotionally in others’ situations. But what do I know?

that’s an experiment in process! some of the sugar free chocolates don’t spike my sugar and some do, so it’s finding the right ones! (Not that I really mind that sort of experimenting!)

I finished up the forgotten garden by kate morton early this morning about 2 AM. I wish I could say that I simply couldn’t put it down, but it was more the case of just pressing on. I feel as though I should say something very positive about the book since it consumed so much time and effort to get through it,, well,, hmmmm,,,, OK, then- it took much too long to get into the book, it was long winded without really answering many of the questions (I won’t go into it further than that). The story itself was intriguing and could have been told in about half the time or if with the same length- covered more territory. This isn’t a dreadful book, but not one I would pass along to anyone unless they requested it, rather it will go to Goodwill.

Thanks, Sheila. I’ve taking up treadmilling at least 30 minutes a day. I’ve cut out all chips, cookies, and cheese. Well, okay fat free cheese is allowed. I’ve learned any high fructose corn syrup spikes my sugars (heck anything corn!). It’s also allowing me to try new things like barley, quinoa, jicama, and such!
