Birthday Weekend
So, as customary with birthdays, I have been thinking. It is interesting how old we are. I mean this more in terms of maturity and attitude. Remember freshman year in highschool? You didn't feel old but you did feel older. It's different being a freshman in college. I look back and see that the freshman in high school now weren't even born in the 80s. These are kids who were born in '91. How crazy is that? It feels ages ago that we were that young but in the spectrum of things it really wasn't. I don't know, I'm sure this feeling will pass once I get used to being 19, in my last year of teen-hood.
But my birthday was fun. It seems sad but I have more fun with my boyfriend's family than with my own. Since my mom and dad paid for part of my new laptop for my birthday present back in january, they didn't have presents for me. Neither of my brothers got me anything. If I weren't dating anyone I wouldn't have had anything to open for my birthday this year :( But luckily I have Jeremy :) He got me a diamond bracelet! It was sooo pretty and I was sooo surprised! I had just been talking to my (ex)step-mom about how her new boyfriend isn't into buying jewelery and how that was such a change from my dad who bought her at least one maybe two pieces a year. I thought it was crazy to expect any jewelery this early in Jeremy and my relationship but I guess I was delightfully wrong! Plus his mom got me a ton of socks (I had really really needed new socks so it's not like a lame gift or anything, I asked for it). His mom also made us dinner and his brother and brother's wife and his cousin came over to celebrate. It was nice. I just kinda feel like my family was a lot less enthused. It's kinda sad but not much I can do about it.
So apparently my mom was going through menopause when she kicked me out of the house last May. She took me out to breakfast on Saturday and apologized for everything. She also said come summer if I wanted to move back in with her I was more than welcomed. I was kinda thinking about it because at my dad's house my brother takes my things and I have no privacy. Of course then I found out why she was being so nice and suddenly (after knowing for months that menopause had been the reason for her behavior) she decided to apologize for everything and invite me back. Apparently on her taxes she claimed me as a dependent even though I lived with my dad from May on. I guess some CIA law thing says if I'm in college, the time I'm in college doesn't count towards either parent even though my dad is paying for my college and she isn't giving me a dime. So she just wants me to live with her for the summer so next year she can claim me as a dependent on her taxes. It's the same thing that happened last May. As soon as I graduated from high school my dad no longer had to pay child support. So what happened? She said I had until my last day of school to have all my things out of her house. I've never been anything more than a paycheck to her. I don't know why I keep falling for it but I'm going to confront her about it one of these days...
Well I'm going to go have dinner cause I'm huuungry. Byes!
oh! P.S.
I have the best boyfriend ever. He is the sexy. ;)
