ah yes...my mother...how do i even start?.....well for one, she's a hardcore jdub. so that should give u more than enough insight. matt and i were sitting around drinking wine last night and talking...then he said, Did u'r mom ever mail u that check?...
See, my mom didn't talk to me for about 4 months after she kicked me out and I moved in with matt. then about 3 weeks ago, just out of the blue, she calls me at work to tell me that one of the girls that worked in the office at the college she's attending had a miscarriage. i figure the only reason she called me about this is b/c i had worked w/ the girl at a previous job. so she asked if i wanted to go halfsies on some flowers. she said that if i went ahead and ordered them, she'd send me a check in the mail. so being the imbecile that i am, i said yes. i let her know that i wouldn't get around to ordering them until the end of the week, b/c that's when i get paid. so wouldn't u know it...that entire week, she's calling me on my lunch break, checking up on me, seeing how i'm doing, blahblahblah. i thought we were well on our way to a mended relationship....UNTIL....i called her to let her know i had ordered the flowers...didn't hear from her once after that. so i was at the clinic this morning b4 work getting my birth control. and who do i see through the window walking down the sidewalk?...dear ol' mom. so i ran out and was like Hey!! and of course she gave me the look that us dsf'd ones are so familiar with the lovely blank stare. she asked what i was doing there and i said getting my birth control. then she comes back with, OH! That's REEEAAAL good! Just let the whole world know that you're sleeping around!!!....so being as how i have little to no patience when it comes to this woman, i just looked her dead in the face and said, Where's my money?....she just started stumbling around...Ummm...Errrrr...i've been short on cash...ummmm....So i said whatever and went back inside.
here's the deal......she owes me....**drumroll**........$20 FRIGGIN' DOLLARS!!!!!! THAT'S IT........ and here's the other thing that i have never ever understood. she never has money!!! and i don't understand this b/c my father who she's been divorced from for 8 years, pays the rent on her apartment ($900)...the note for her toyota 4-runner ( ?$?)....she's on his insurance (doesn't work for his company)....she's on the payroll (DOESN'T WORK FOR HIS COMPANY)...AND HE PAYS FOR HER COLLEGE TUITION!!!!!!!!! HOW DOES SHE NOT HAVE $20 DOLLARS?????
is it just me or do all jdub mothers seem to want to suck the life and energy out of their families?
luv, kitty (of the i don't have a mommy, just a biological mother class)
