Today was pretty awful and was made worse by a mother/son argument that escalated into recriminations, guilt, and ‘walk away’ tactics. To some extent, this worked but Ming and I were still so miserable – he in his shed and me in the house. So we began texting each other and have now established that I am the boss and he is the slave and he has even called me ‘Commander’; this is a good move.
Oh the joy of tomorrow! Of course tomorrow brings a fair few uncertainties but it mostly brings the excitement of anticipation, adventure and something new and fresh … and a new Ming, a new me and, maybe, a new Anthony!
Tomorrow is a gift.

if you would care to share the drug you are on–I would like to join you in your positivity
Haha – am crawling back out of despair via prayer atm
glad I could make you laugh
Ha – me too!
Being positive is a good thing.
Yes!
If it were me I would greet Ming the next morning with a homemade cape, crown and sceptor, after all one must dress for the position at hand. LOL All will be well my friend glad you could text yourselves to some agreement, sounds it went in your favor …ha
It worked brilliantly!
Here’s to tomorrow! clink, clink!

Those clinks were very effective!
Tomorrow, tomorrow I love you tomorrow, you’re only a day away. A snippet from the song from Annie the musical. Sleep wipes away the grime of the day past and ushers in the brand spanking new day of tomorrow. 🙂 Sleep well and deeply Jules.
Now I can’t get that song out of my head!
Oops, sorry Jules;)
Oh the joys of having a boy… keep a stiff upper lip Julie…
He used to be so tidy!
Yes. The possibilities of tomorrow are endless! Hugs to you both!
Yesterday’s tomorrow was great!
I hate it when you two argue but am always thankful you two always seem to settle things with no hard feelings
I am a great believer in ‘never let the sun go down on your anger’ or whatever the quote is.
I agree
I am buoyed in my own situation by the positiveness you show in yours… and that you always are able to find a trace of humour in what otherwise could have been difficult.
Hugs Julie
Thank God for humour!
I like the idea of Ming retiring to his tent/shed like Achilles in high dudgeon but being wooed out of it again by text messages.
I couldn’t have put it better myself (although his shed is a palace compared to this house!)
you are so right, jules. tomorrow is indeed a gift.
Thanks Beth!
You’re the best! Hoping for a good tomorrow for ya’ll. xoxo
I love that ‘y’all’!
I like that you began communicating with texts – use of modern technology to help get over disagreements. Tomorrow is always better with the promise of hope.
Yes the texting was a good idea!
Fights with our children are so normal and so stressful well they are for me
Hard work isn’t it!
Texting each other, see what tomorrow brings.
It was a great tomorrow!
Julie, Yes each tomorrow is a gift, and you accept it and are thankful for it. But you never worry if it is a good or bad gift. Because without tomorrow, you have nothing. Take care, Bill
Profound!
