Shifting Focus
Monday, February 25, 2008
Leave it to my mother to beat a dead horse and then run over it with her Manolos just for fun. The woman is being charged with insider trading - was arrested on national television and what is she fixated on? My marriage. And a "forgotten" moment with Aidan. So what if he comes to LA with me? Just because I've screwed up a few of my relationships in the past does not mean I will screw up my marriage to Zach. What we have together... The children we share... He's my soul mate. And for my mother to think I would so carelessly toss all of that happiness away because of some warm weather, Rodeo drive and Aidan close by - she's nuts. What's done is done and it was a one-time screw-up because of out-of-this-world circumstances. We've all made mistakes - but this time, I am determined not to repeat mine.
please dont repeat this mistake but do have fun in LA and where is my charmed. I cant wait to read it.

Kendall,
I think you are dead on...Erica is projecting her life and the fact that SHE is attracted to Samuel Woods while still in love with Jack onto your marriage. I am happy that she realizes that Zach is the one for you despite the fact that Ryan maybe pining for days long past.

Typical Erica. She turns the focus on you so that the focus is off her. I sure hope she knows how to knit because it looks like she's going to do some time at Camp Cupcake!...of course, if she's as smart as 'you know who', she'll MAKE money while she's there!

Kendall: I'm sure you won't repeat the mistake with Aidan. However, you need to tell Zach about it and lay the matter to rest.
Be sure to check in at home with Zach from L.A. Greenlee's on the prowl again and I wouldn't trust her where your husband's concerned!

Kendall
you are right Zach is your soulmate. I know it will never happen again. I hope you would tell Zach about it so that we can move past this and so that you and Zach can get back to what you have with nothing being kept from the other.

Kendall..You can't blame your mother for being concerned about you. You're a mother. You know how it is to be concerned and to worry about your children. She doesn't want to see you make a mistake and cause any problems in your marriage. She happens to be right for all the reasons she gave plus another one. Your very best friend Greenlee is starting to get a little too interested in YOUR husband. You remember how she always wanted what you had. She seems to be heading in that direction again. It might be a good idea to postpne the book tour until Zach can go with you. Don't give Greenlee the opportunity to play her games. I think Zach can use a little loving attention from his wife right now. You and Zach love each other very much and have a wonderful life together with you children. Don't give Greenlee the chance to screw it up.

Kendall, I have faith in you not to screw this up, I really do. But you know what you need to do. You need to tell Zach that you don't want Aiden to go to LA with you, and you need to tell him why. You know he is going to find out and then he will wonder why you really went to LA with Aiden, especially with Greenlee poisoning his mind. And you know she will, you know the REAL Greenlee, and she has never been your friend. She lives to take whatever you love most, and this time it's the love of your life, your soulmate. Don't let her do that to you. Tell Zach the truth and leave Aiden behind.

Kendall,
You held your ground with Erica today - I am proud of you. Erica's wheels are spinning with all that happened and I am glad she did not get you worked up.
What you and Zach share is special and amazing. Your love for each other will carry you through all this garbage, I know it will. You are strong Kendall - because of the love and friendship that Zach gives you.
With that said, I wish Zach was going to CA with you instead of Aidan. You, Zach and the boys have earned a vacation.

Kendall,
You are one of the few people in Pine Valley that actually learns from their mistakes...and makes a point of doing better...Zach being the another person that comes to mind.
Today as a drunken Greenlee talked to Zach I couldn't help but be disappointed. After all that time she spent in the bomb shelter getting to know Zach and especially after having a near death experience she acted like the "old" Greenlee when she came on to Zach. I really don't blame her in a way because who wouldn't want a man like Zach? Not that I think she has a chance in you know where.
However, thinking any of her problems would change or be solved by getting drunk was juvenile.

Kendall,
You're right, a one-time screw-up does not mean you have to continue to repeat yourself. While I would prefer you tell Zach the truth, it appears that you have decided to put the past behind you and I wish you luck with that. But I just want to remind you about something.
Zach is your best friend, and best friends share their hopes and fears. Zach has been the only person who has consistently protected you against everyone, including your family when necessary. So don't forget that Kendall. He is your soulmate, and he deserves to know the truth -- from you!

Kendall,
I know that your mind is on the book tour, but could you possibly do me a favor? Please detach Greenlee from your posterior. She spends more time with you than your kids. I'm all for friends, but Greenlee needs to really find a new hobby that doesn't involve you and Zach as her playmates.

Kendall, first of all, you repeating your mistake is not even an issue and should be out of your thoughts. It's only the constant browbeating by Aidan and now Erica that makes you doubt yourself. We all know with the way you and Zach love each other, and with the sexiest, most gorgeous husband in the world nothing would ever happen. Now, I'm very disappointed in Erica. I've been loving her lately--her support of you and Zach. This was out character (as she is now)and I will chalk it up to the stress she is under. I'll cut her some slack this time and hope she gets back on the Zen path soon.

Kendall,
I know that you have absolutely no feelings for anyone else but your husband and your mother should know that. She saw everything that you went through when Zach was missing and she knew how hard it was for you to bring home Ian without Zach on Thanksgiving. She knew that your were hurting terribly and that all you could think of was finding Zach and having him come home to you and your sons. For her or anyone else to insinuate that Aiden is a threat to your marriage is ludicrous and insulting. It is about time your mother and everyone else involved in this preposterous situation start remembering that. Anyone who truly knows your history with Zach and has seen all that you have been through together knows that you and Zach have an unbreakable bond and a deep and abiding love for each other which will withstand all threats because nothing and no one will keep you apart.

Dear Kendall: No truer words were said by you -- where the heck did that come from with Erica. It made absolutely no sense as she knew how broken you were about Zach being missing or even dead, plus she knows how much you love him. I don't like it either that he is coming with you to LA as your bodyguard -- this is just dumb since Zach has many men who could have fulfilled this role. You are strong and love Zach unconditionally -- I know you would never repeat the unspeakable night as that just would not be you!
What you and Zach share is very special and no one can come between you. Zendall is magic and the chemistry is amazing. I truly believe that you and Zach will always be together. Whatever is going on during this confusing phase in your life right now needs to end, and you and Zach need to get back on track!
There is only one couple in PV worth rooting for and that is Zendall. Always only Zendall!!!!

Kendall,
Your mother really disappointed me yesterday. I know that she is upset about being arrested and was wanting to shift directions but her comments to you were insensitive and beared no weight at all.
While I hated what happened between you and Aidan, you were a broken woman who temporarily lost her mind and did something stupid. That one act of stupidity doesn't change your love for Zach or your family. Zach is your soulmate and you are his and with the love you two share and your two beautiful boys, you and Zach are going to be fine.

Hi Kendall, you should listen to your mother. When something is burning you don't light a match to it. Your mother is right, becuase you are blind. Your marriage could be in deep trouble because of your secrets.
