You know I was thinking about our conversation the other day Valerie when you basically said all you just wrote here and you mentioned that your mom didn't even ask about the boys and it didn't hit me till later how odd that is until I remember how much she thinks about herself and only herself.  For somebody to be so involved in a religion that is so much geared to love of people and helping people (I know.......) she sure has alot to learn.  And she is going about it all wrong if she thinks that telling you how her day in service went when clearly what you really care about is your family that somehow you even care about Sister P studying again.  I mean - really wake up mom and get over yourself - you're losing your daughter.
