Peony Moss: February 2005 Archives

1. PRAY FOR TERRI -- her murder recommences today.

2. Pray for Pansy.

3. Finish decorating Hambet's birthday cake.

4. Purchase balloons and streamers.

My life is so trivial sometimes I just disgust myself.

just got an IM from Pansy -- her husband has been in a car accident. She says he's okay but sounds really shaken up.

More news when we have it. Even in the best case scenario it sounds like the family car is totalled, which is not going to be good news for Pansy and her family.

Received this morning from a friend:

...on a more serious note, please pray for a little boy named O.,
2 1/2 years old. ...He fell yesterday and needed
stiches- somewhere during the ER visit he went into shock, his heart
stopped, and he was revived, but rushed to a second hospital, and then air
lifted by chopper to the UPenn hospital in Philly. I have few details,
except that he is fighting for his life.... As of 5pm yesterday they were unsure of his chances of survival....

Thanks,
Peony

Listened to the Prager show – a conversation on self-esteem, with a few calls from women who felt that they lacked self-esteem because they were stay-at-home moms instead of hard-charging superwomen. Well, they didn’t lack self-esteem so much as they inferred from some great floating amorphous thing called SOCIETY that should lack self-esteem, and they absorbed this through the various means – TV, movies, their skin, etc.

Did you see the latest Supermom pity-party on the cover of this week's Newsweek? I did, and I didn't bother to pick it up. I knew what it would say. I really have a hard time relating to women like Anna Quindlen and her rich girlfriends who feel like they should have it all and just feel guilty, guilty, guilty when they don't -- and who think everyone else feels just as guilty as they do!

You are a Melancholic!
