Calamity hasn't called the girls at all yet this week. Not a dickie bird of a phone call. Weird I think, but what do I know. The girls haven't asked about her either.


They both had counseling Tuesday. Counselor wants me to work on feelings with them still. She also explained how 1/2 Pint was affected by some of the incidents surrounding her visits when she still went to Calamity's house. She explained that when a crises or chaos ensued, which it usually did, chaos surrounds Calamity's life...1/2 Pint did not process and close from the chaos, that she stayed constantly in a state of high anxiety because of the chaos. It was quite technical, but she explained that normally, a mother (or in my case, grandmother) will say, (and I do this often...) ”honey, this is crazy, or this is sad, or this is whatever it is at the time, but it's okay, It's going to stop and it's going to be okay in a few. Or, people have bad things happen sometimes, we will be fine, MeeMaw will work through this and we will get through it together. She said Calamity never did any of that when there was chaos present, and so 1/2 Pint, who was still wee little, like um, last year at age 4, then did NOT come out of the anxiety state because Calamity didn't do any closure to the events.


We will have 3/4 Pint all weekend. Nursey and Cop are going through a separation, looks like divorce. Sigh. Just another monkey wrench thrown into the mix I guess. Nursey is moving to Pittsburgh into a house that a friend of mine has sitting vacant, and trying to get 3/4 Pint into a private school. I have to pick 3/4 Pint up tomorrow after school and take her to her counselor then bring her out here for the weekend.


I am in a pretty anxious state myself. Go figure LOL. Still, I am 52 and can deal with it so that's okay. I think I will go stack the firewood. Physical labor helps a lot. The girls have girl scouts this afternoon so don't get picked up till five at the school. DH went into town to run errands so it's just me and the dog.
