Nice red runner and hurricane vase with candle.
Noo quilt cover set with "breakfast cushions" whatever they are. Furniture guy rang me to say our new (noo) wardrobe and bedsides may be delivered tomorrow after telling me it would be next Thursday. So I will need to get runners for the bedsides and new (noo) lamps as well. Can't wait!
I decided to have a day to myself today (shock horror). Dropped Joshy at school and drove up to Young. Got some little things for the house, the above table runner and candle lamp, as well as another red runner for the coffee table and a really nice flat dish from the bargain shop for the coffee table. Also a black and white clock for the kitchen wall and some dirt cheap, all I could find, place mats.
Came home and just chilled, watched an Oprah show about SNL which was really funny. I needed some time to myself to just relax after everything, and I did.
Phill got home and we got into it a bit, about Emily. He wants to go down to Albury and I am not going, end of story. I found an email he sent her from MY mail account, whether he realised what he was doing or not, it was a caving in email. I was so pissed off, he doesn't get that we need to be strong right now, and tough with her. He accused me of not wanting her to come home (in all honesty I don't, so sue me) and tried the "mother guilt" crap which rolls off me these days. I know I have done everything humanly possible to help and support her.
I got another horrible email from Emily accusing me of "emotional abuse" a term she has learned from somewhere. They are still letting her access FB and email in spite of us repeatedly asking them not to and telling them why. Nothing is going to change while nobody acknowledges what the problem is, and sees her for what she really is.
So..... I finally decided on a new quilt cover set (above) I really like it and have some curved pillow covers in grey on order and also bought a dark grey valour valance to match it on Ebay. I am feathering my nest, and it's about time. I need to learn from the Percy handbook, be manipulative, cunning, lying (nope can't do that) and get what I want regardless of anything or anyone else. *sigh* That just isn't me so I'll just have to win by default (ie being honest and real). Surely it will win in the end.

and STAND FIRM ...DON'T BACK DOWN..BE STRONG..
There has to come a day when Emily realizes that life is just not about HER!
Meantime don't let ANYONE tamper with your emotions and lay guilt on you.
Ask Phil if he is prepared to stay home to take care of her or take her to work with him.
I think we both know the answer to that m/f.
Without professional help these tirades of Emily's will continue.It's hard, but we mothers have teach our young that their behaviors are not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
