Ford would be proud.
Mar. 18th, 2005 07:07 amOk, so he may be prouder if I actually did some drinking tonight. Not going to happen, we only have port in the house and I'm not in the mood. Now, if we had Kahula or Bailey's, I'd consider it. Mmmmm. White Russians.
This has been a Thursday of Dentian proportions. Weirdness everywhere.
Drama over the mail from shipping.
Phone calls varying from bad attitudes to strange questions. Household financial? WTF?
Fed Ex STILL screwing up over one big package that has sat in the lobby for almost a week now.
Maternal unit trying to change plans and getting angry/sad when I tell her no-without-actually-saying-no. Y'know?
Husband asking why I don't just put my foot down and tell her what I really think. Buh??
Continuation of the drama with Pardner and her new boss.
Actually getting all of my work done by 2. 2!!!
Freezing off and on all afternoon. *shiver*
The personal stuff is what's really blowing my mind. Mom wanting the kiddo for longer is not surprising. After all, she hasn't had a weekend with him in over a month. Bad luck that he was sick or the weather was bad on "her" days. Funny, I don't remember promising her every other Sunday. I do remember saying I'd see. It's too hard on all of us to drive down to the Springs every weekend. Mom was really mad about Easter. "It's my turn!" She yells at me. Like my son is some kind of toy or something. Sorry, Mom. Ex-mom asked first. She's not having him all day. I pointed this out and suggested they come up afterward, but noooo. Can't I just have him all week? Uh, no. I want him home for my birthday. But you won't be there! You're going dancing! Not on Wednesday! It's the middle of the work week! We're going Sunday night. Silly woman.
So yeah, now she's mad at me again. I'm used to it. Hardly done anything right since I started college in her eyes. But Wolf coming back and saying "Why didn't you tell her the truth?" I did. "No, why didn't you tell her you don't want her to have our son that long? I know you're avoiding a fight, but she won't change without motivation." Uh, I hate to break it to you, but even WITH motivation she doesn't change. She's only happy when everything's going the way she wants it, and if she changes her mind everyone has to jump to her tune. This is one of the main reasons I excel at compromises.
