(no subject)
So, this week wasn't terribly fantastic by any means.
I had some medication issues on the weekend, so Monday night was a little off. Tuesday I took a personal day, and Bryn came to visit and took me to Nickles, even though it's still endorsed by Celine Dion, whom Bryn doesn't care much for.
I went back to school on Wednesday and continued through to Thursday.
I was behind on my work because the exam for tort law was supposed to be last Friday, but there was a snow storm, and then I was unprepared for the exam once I found out it was written, not on the computer.
I did manage to do the exam yesterday, and am glad this week's over.
So, my moods haven't been great. I'm a little touchy which doesn't help. My mother is making life hard, yet again.
My brother's birthday is next week. But he's getting dental surgery done on his birthday, so we won't really be able to celebrate on the actual day.
Because I never get to see William, and because my schedual is so hectic right now, I was going to take him out for dinner and a movie where I could give him his presents and just have some time with him. Saturday is honestly the ONLY day I can do this. Friday night mom's gone, so I don't have a vehicle, or a sitter. Sunday is a school night, so I have to be home and in bed early, and the rest of the week I'm at school all day.
I informed mom of all this, but she decided that she wanted to take us all out to dinner, and that Will and I could go to a movie AFTER dinner with her and Mike.
I told her that I really wanted to take William out myself for some 'us' time since we never see eachother, and I wanted it to be my idea.
Yeah, no dice. Apparently, every other night of the week isn't good enough for her to celebrate Will's birthday. It HAS to be Saturday. Not Sunday night, all together, or even that afternoon after Church. Monday night, tuesday night, wednesday night. Nope. I'd even consider skipping some school for a lunch date with the two.
And seriously, this isn't about me being angry about mom stealing my idea, it's just that William and I are really close, and we don't ever get to spend time together because he's either in Brockville, or I'm away at Bryn's, and on the weekends I do stay home to see him, he's already made plans far in advance.
So I'm extremely aggitated and saddened by the circumstances.
I have explained how I feel, and what I wanted to do to mom quite to the point. But she just took it away. I don't know how she can think that some of the things she doesn't upset people or hurt their feelings.
Anytime I've ever told her that she's hurt my feelings or that she's been insensitive, she patronizes me about being too sensitive and that the real world isn't going to be sensitive and that I should just grow up. Or as for the feelings being hurt, it goes a little like this:
"Mom, you're hurting my feelings"
"Oh, geeze Renee! I'm hurting your feelings... grow up. Nobody's looking out for your feelings."
Honestly.
Anyways, that's beyond the point.
She seriously doesn't give a shit about anyone but herself. I have half a mind not to even go tomorrow to her little party (at the restaurant I picked as well).
Of course, that wouldn't be fair to William, and this is supposed to be about him.
So I will take my mother's advice and suck it up.
She's just making it easier to leave her behind one day.
