So I just had a big fight with my mother. Apparently i am suppose to ask about everything and for everything and not make any assumptions whatsoever. I should not assume that she will stay in the same job as she has been for the past 18 years. No I should ask about it, and not about it, but double check to make sure she is not switching jobs. Likewise I should assume that they are coming out the third weekend in August, and make sure I am here. She knew I was planning on going out to Portland to drive back with James, I told her I was working on it. Never once did she tell me that they were making plans to come out that weekend. She didn't even mention it when I told her I was planning on flying out to OR. Now she is mad that she is going to be in town and I am not. I assumed that they would be here on Sunday and I would able to see them that night. No they are coming oyut on friday. And even if they were going to be hewre Sunday night: No. They have other plans so I would not even see them if I was in town.
What it all boils down to is that I am flying out to see my BF instead of going home or flying home to see them when my internship is over. She knew i was working on flying home the very next weekend for my dad's b-day, but aparently that is not soon enough nor long enough.
I know that I am the only person in my family out of the state right now. I know they miss me and all that jazz, and in truth i miss them too. I miss places in hoflo and in chicago. Summers are the best. I have not been home for more than 30 days or more than a full week in 2 years. I wonder why?
I might just fly down and visit. She offered to pay or split the ticket. I am broke cause I am paying my own way and being independent. No matter how independent I am, sometimes I just miss home.
And what does James say to this rant... "hun I didn't plan on supporting you tonight. It's my raide night, and it is starting.." And you think i wanted to have a huge fight when I have better things to do and company coming over???? The sadder part still is that he thinks i did plan on having this fight. I just called home for a phone number for my credit card statement! Thats it!
Wanted: for those who know the madre-> how can I deal with it?
