Have houses filled with stuffs and things, and according to my mom they both need to clean their houses. Of course, she'd probably say mine needs cleaning too, so maybe that's more anout her high standards than their low ones or something.<br />Not being a parent myself, I don't know how much weight my words carry, but here's what I think. I think all a parent can do is set an example, and hope that the children follow it. I had a lot of years lost to active addiction; now that I am clean, I cam trace many of my good ideas and values straight back to my parents. So there is always hope, right? Hope that the seeds of goodness a parent plants will grow to fruition. Sorry I don't have an easy answer for you.Cindy Lou Whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369628893088728744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393283123747063306.post-87799500502583392942012-10-26T08:11:26.681-05:002012-10-26T08:11:26.681-05:00a) I wish you could be here to bash pinatas with m...a) I wish you could be here to bash pinatas with me too! That? Would make it even better.<br />b) I will ask about shipping you the skunk skull; he'll probably say "no", in which case I'll ask him for suggestions on dealing with your problem<br />c) Recovery has taught me that my life changes are about me; I cannot force others to come along my journeys with me. What I am going to have to do is figure out how to get him to QUIT CLUTTERING UP OUR HOUSE!Cindy Lou Whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369628893088728744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393283123747063306.post-43902446303579501482012-10-26T07:27:56.219-05:002012-10-26T07:27:56.219-05:00The only thing I can do here is sigh and shake my ...The only thing I can do here is sigh and shake my head.

Boy, do I.<br /><br />b. Can you ask Sunshine if you can ship that skunk skull to me? Because I want it something awful. Seeeriously. Might freak out some of these laid back west coast skunks that make regular tracks below my windows ... peeeeeyooooooooo.<br /><br />c.
