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

Pam let me tell you how hard it is to be nice to my mil. But I was taught to respect my elders.This woman tests ya to the max. You know me I would paint her little girl black just for the hell of it but then she is old and I can not put my head on a pillow at night and think what I did to her was right.So I am going to make her look like me.... Mahalo for answering my post.

Aloha,

Hula Girl

Aloha,

Lei
