My family...
So my mom called me yesterday morning at 7am. Woke me up to chat, like she does sometimes on her way to work. Except yesterday she woke me with interesting news...
My mom is getting married.
She's been dating Richard for like 2 months and he proposed and she said yes. Yet, as always, I am the one rushing things. Her "life experience" has prepared her to meet her soulmate (gag, gag, puke). I give up. Apparently, it all boils down to money. If you have it, you can get engaged and get married. If you don't have any, then you are out of luck.
I'm on the broke end of that spectrum btw.
Remind me...why did I want to be a teacher?
But I digress. Mom and I got into this huge yelling match (well, really I yelled, mom quietly said things like "I love you, don't be upset.") And it started my day off just wonderfully. At least Robin didn't have any kids. This guy has 2 kids from another lady which means step-siblings. Even though I do not live anywhere close, this still bugs me to NO END. I honestly just don't understand why the heck she would want to get married so soon. Not 3 weeks ago, she was fussing at me because I was refering to him as her boyfriend and now they are ENGAGED!?!?!? Granted, I did change my status on facebook to engaged, but once you are with someone for 3 years who DOESN'T have wedding plans/thoughts/intentions? Come on now....I got engaged to someone after 4 months when I was in college and it turned out HORRIBLY. Why in the world would she want to get married so soon?!?! She has been divorced for less than a YEAR. (Granted, dad got married 1 month after the divorce finalized)
::Sigh:: This sucks.
On a positive note, I have lost 10 pounds in the past month! :) At least I can try to look good at all these weddings coming up! (None of which are my own....)
