[kelceesmom]

Ok. I know you are really excited and on a high right now - and I don't wish to ruin it....BUT (There is always a but)

I really think at your next visit you NEED TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNICATION ISSUE WITH HER. Yes I was yelling that at you. It's going to make you uncomfortable, it's going to be hard....but take a big breath, put on your big girl panties and DO IT. Otherwise this type of behavior could plague your relationship.

Tell her how hard it is on you waiting for her responses. Explain that you understand busy schedules and what not - but tell her that you literally hold your breath until you hear back. Ask that even if it is just a quick sentence or two, that you'd really apreciate quicker responses. Open up to her - explain the worry you feel, the fear that she may be closing a door to you......


You REALLY need to do this. In person is going to be the best opportunity. She will see the sincerity if you do it in person.


DO IT.


ok?

I couldn't agree more. Why should you be on pins and needles every time you try to arrange something?

[lahdh4]

I think she does too, Leigh.



i was never so happy to log in and see this!!!! Now all of our plans aren't tied to a computer!!!!
Surprise still on!

ok?

Yes ma'am.

In all reality, I know you guys are totally right, and I know it's absolutely something that needs to be addressed, and believe it or not, I appreciate y'all yelling at me. Now I just need to convince myself that I actually deserve her quick responses and we're good to go!

(I know, I know - I DO!!! I'm working on it, I promise )

Yey Cupcake!!! Way to tinkle!

And yes, you need to listen to Leigh's advice - she is wise like budda - listen to her. Plus she's older than you, so you know you have respect your elders.
