Doing some thing good 4 my racist MIL

Aloha Ladies,

People do the weirdest things when they know I am ill. Now I appreciate what people do for me and the lengths that they go through in order to get me back to being a happy sick person. People leave notes & flowers on my palm trees out front. Today William goes out to get the mail and here is a hula girl present. It was from my neighbors wishing me to get better soon because it's boring on the block when I am not out there stiring things up. ha ha ha Funny ha? I must be a terror when I am well? huuummmm..... ha ha ha... And plus people give me all sorts of ideas as to how to spend my down time and be productive without using up a lot of my precious energy. What realy gets to me is the fact that I am so transparent to people when I try so hard to look and act normal. I am having a rough time with this lupus flare because I was in remission for so long that I thought I was healed. Girls... Me being sick feels as though some one died inside me and left hula girl out here in the cold. I think I need to go through this mourning phase in order to move on but that is not acceptable to the significant others in my life.

Now girls I am not laying around here crying my eyes out but I do need to feel the lost of good health in order to reach the other end and grow. It is nice that people are concerned but they act like I am on my last hula skirt or some thing..... which is weird because the significant others in my life have gone through these flares with me for years.

I have been a little on the bratty side these days. And lately my life has gotten a little weirder. But then throw my racist mother in law into the mix and my wows takes on a whole new meaning. Most of you know my mother in law does not like me because I am not white. For me thats cool what ever gets ya through the day! Any how William comes home with this box. So I thought it was a present for staying alive another day! ha ha ha ha ha.. I am joking girls about the staying alive. But I did think it was a get well present for me... WRONG!

My mother in law had the nerve to go out and buy this "thing" to put in her garden and she wanted me to paint it for her since I had nothing else to do since I am sick. This chunk of plaster is in a form of a little girl holding flowers and on it ... it says "MOM'S GARDEN" My first reaction of course is negative! But I am working on not taking what ever any one says or does the wrong way. Working on it is the key phrase here because after I threw up I looked at the object again and tried to find a positive in painting this horrible little piece of poo-poo for my racist mother in law. And I think I have the best idea as how to paint this object. What do you Ladies think about me painting the little girl black! ha ha ha.... No joke! I am serious!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha.... What do ya girls think about that? I really would like your input on this...

Aloha,

Hula Girl with little tiny horns

Aloha,

Lei

Lei,

I agree with the others. Paint it to look like a mini Hulagirl. I think that would be awesome. You might want to place a lei around it's neck for delivery when done also. Just prop your Glamour Shots pic right up near it and paint away.

That little garden "troll" is going to be beautiful.

Lei,

Might I suggest you do a little backgound search on mil? You might be very surprised. If her family has been in American for generations, especialy prior to the Civil War she might be in for a lovely surprise. Let me think now, I believe the nasty term at the time was picaninnies. Men being what they are, who knows. Wouldn't it be lovely? As for "colored", I've never seen any group of people more colored then so called whites.

Paint the ornement as you wiah. Do hope you paint it to look like you tho.

Hugs,

Rain

Yeah Kat I thought it was weird to that she wanted me to paint this thing. But then I thought she is 83 now and is not thinking straight. William said he told her that she loved my paintings around our house and thought I would be the best person to paint it for her. And other thing that was weird is if she thought that highly of me then why didn't she call me and asked me to paint it instead of going through Bill. I am as confuse as you are and do not know what to think of this. Is she trying to make a point with me and if so what is it?

Yeah the little girl is going to be painted to look like me a brat... ha ha ha ha.

And Kat I am not feeling to great at all... boo...hisss... hisss. but I did have a great time while I was in remission. Doctor put me on a third set of antibiotics and more meds. Now I am starting to get just a little bit worried...

Glad to hear from you Kat!

Lei, you are a girl right after my own heart:) I would do the exact same thing! Of course I wouldnot paint it black b/c no one is actually black but I would paint it the exact same shade as you:) If she came over and helped you I would say be nice and do the best you can but since she has been so awful she deserves it. Of course you know this will not win you any points in the dil category. Then again it sounds like you didn't have too many to start with. I say if it makes you feel good go for it. From one devil sister to another. Love ya, Bernie
Hugs, Bernie

Ya know Bernie I think you know what I am going through. It is as though if I do nothing I loose and if I do it for her I do not get any brownie buttons for doing it because that is what "n's" are suppose to do for whites. So I know who I am and I know mean people just disgusted me I guess. So I am going to sale myself out and paint the little girl the way I look. I think what bug me is the fact she never called me and ask me if I well paint it for her her. I have know idea what game she is playing wiht me now. If I do this does that mean she will take me out of her trash can or what.... I am confuse but I do not feel like painting this object for her. I can not do things for others if it does not come from my heart.

If I paint this object to me it would feel I am kissing her behind. But if I do paint it it would make William happy.... Do I sell my soul to the devil or not is really the bottom line here.....


aloha.
