I have been trying so hard ya'll, to be positive and not complaining here, because as a general rule in real life,I am pretty upbeat and "the glass is half full" kinda gal.
But, I am so pissed off at my MOTHER right now. Fundamentaly pissed. And it involves aspects about my life that I haven't shared on this blog because I never wanted to portray who or what I am in a bad light.
OHMYGOODNESS I am mad, so very mad.
Let's just say that there are two separate sets of expectations and standards in my family. One for my brother and sisters and one for me. I am just so very tired of it. And I am almost 38 years old,I haven't had any babies out of wedlock, VS my brother and sister who had ALL their kids out of wedlock, I haven't been in jail once or done drugs ever, can't say the same for them again! Give me some credit for once.
"You know every 5 pounds you gain is heart attack fat in this family, dear". This was after I told her about all the eating we did at work this last week. AND the fact that I didn't eat any dinner for 3 nights because I ate so much during the day I was still full when I got home.
"I am worried about Connor, dear. I think he's turned to the dark side (I am quoting her). All he talks about is magic and special powers. I think you need to disconnect your cable and YOUR TV. You know, when you kids were little there were years that we didn't even own a TV". Yes, mother, and look at what happy and well adjusted adults we've all turned out to be. Meanwhile, Connor tells me that Grandma let him play "kingdom of hearts" on the PS2, which I don't even own any gaming machines in this house, and he was placing spells and doing all kinds of magic in that game.
"You know, dear, the only reason you've turned out the way you did is because you had MY adult friends who took an active interest in you and took you under their wing. Where are your nurturing adult friends for you kids? Why don't you have nice friends who are taking an active interest in your kids? I am really worried about your boys. I think you're going to lose them when they are teenagers". MEANWHILE, K, who lives with HER, is posting "Fuck it" bulletins on her myspace and my mother seems to think that is just fine. If i would have EVER even muttered that word, let alone posted it somewhere for the whole Internet to see I would still be grounded. And threatened with all kinds of bodily harm. But, since it's K it's cool. She gets a special pass for EVERYTHING.
And there's other stuff that REALLY pisses me off but I can't really talk about without explaining everything first. And then this would be a huge long memoir and none of us want that. Not to mention the fact I need to be at work all bright and cheery in 30 short minutes.
*GAH*

Top 10 List
1. Do you know how hard it is to type with a cat wrapped around your booblar/upper chest area? Try it sometime and get back to me. This cat is like Visa, he's everywhere I want to be. *sigh*
2. Why does long wearing nail color never last even close to the 10 days like is advertised on the bottle?
3. Contrary to popular belief, it is NEVER a good idea to wait until the day before your final in Multicultural History to get started on said Final. Especially if you wrote a practically brilliant (cough, cough) midterm, got 100/100 on said midterm, had your Professor post your paper as a model to follow for the other students, and now feel tremendous pressure to perform as well on the Final. This may or may not cause severe anxiety, insomnia, bloating, heavy sighing and a erection lasting longer than 4 hours. If you should exhibit these symptoms, please visit your nearest mental health facility to have your head examined for thinking you can work full time, and go to college when you are a 37-year-old mother of two.
4. It is freezing butt cold in the high desert. The high temp for this whole last week was 35 degrees. It was so cold at work yesterday that the liquid soap froze in the woman's bathroom! There is a company there working on putting in a new heating and air conditioning system and in my professional opinion I would say that something isn't quite hooked up right, but what do I know?
5. Guess who's going to Vegas in February? I am not looking forward to it. I know you're shocked.
8. It takes a LOT of patience and self control to teach a 79-year-old purchasing clerk who is practically deaf to order office supplies online. The whole experience may or may not have not caused me to have a twitch and severe ankle swelling.
9. I have lovely urine, surprisingly low cholesterol, and a disgustingly normal thyroid. A doctor even told me so.
10. And lastly I still hate our after school daycare lady. She is pissing me off every single day now. Connor informed us one of the other patrons who attends his crappy daycare taught him how to spell the "F bomb-it's spelled f-u-k-e." Clearly the other child has horrible spelling skills. And if you're gonna teach my kid to spell, at least teach him the correct spelling and pronunciation of the word, thankyouverymuch. I am actively searching for an alternative source of daycare. Trent would like to hire a "private in-home babysitter". He doesn't understand why that makes me so nervous I start sweating profusely and muttering under my breath. I guess the child hasn't watched enough Primetime Lives and Dateline specials in his 9 years yet.
