dear mom: there are valid reasons for crying. crying because i haven’t gotten out of bed yet is not one of them. and that comment about all your children being self-centered was insulting. yes, i was going to visit anne in the hospital, and yes, i was on my way to waking up shortly after you asked the first time. 😛
thanks.
