people are way too complicated to keep relationships simple. and also horribly simple in managing complex relationships. how do you reconcile that shit? it makes me tired. this has been quite a week for complex relationships in my little world.
also, someone should tell my children to stop acting so grown up and sassy all of a sudden (it's not really all of a sudden, there have been signs...). i can't face living in a state of low-level argument for the next 13 years. lord.
another thing, abby won a tiny cross necklace in a coin machine several days ago. she's been wearing it. it prompted a graphic conversation between us regarding my personal feelings about christianity and the symbol of the cross. i didn't ask her to take it off or anything - just told what the symbol means to me, my reaction to it. anyway, she's been asked twice now (by other children) if she's a christian. she balls-out tells them "nope." this whole things is bringing up fascinating feelings for me.
