Never let things fester
The family drama... does it ever stop? Still upset regarding religious decisions Sadly my Mom is upset with me. She was over on Sunday and brought me some mail from my high school. It said Catholic Life on the front, I found this odd because I thought it was about alumni, so I said "catholic life"? in a tone of voice and then recycled it.
She's upset because she took that as me "making fun", "disrespecting" her religion. Um. No. That is not what I was doing. What I was doing was being confused as to why my alumni would be sending out a magazine about Catholic Life. This has been bothering her for two days and she told me last night, was very upset and asked me in the future not to mention her religion. There were tears.
I'm beside myself. There are other things going on with her over the last months, mainly with my brother, but I just feel as though she was looking for something to be upset about. I didn't go into a rant about the Catholic Church, I made a little comment as I recycled it. She said she brought it over so I knew about the reunion, fine, but she knows my thougts on the Catholic Church so my readily accepting documentation about it is not something I want.
*sigh* It's like every thing I do that is outside her accepting radius is deemed 'bad'. I don't get it. I'm still pissed off about it, I got upset (I think it's just a reaction when you make your Mom cry, no matter how inadvertant) and now I'm just tired of walking the mine field.
Watched a bunch of comedies last night, still working on shows that aired last week. The temptation to watch one or more CW shows tonight may win out over the remaining shows from last week. *ggg*
Last night I spent an hour working with pre-colored fondant and making molds of lego pieces. This goes along with the molds of the lego men. I think I'm all set for decorating the cake for the boy's birthday on Saturday. It's going to be a stacked square cake, covered with lego men and legos. Not sure how I will embellish with writing. Need to write their names and "happy birthday". Would love to be able to write in a Ninja font, but I'd have to do that free hand, but I may try.
My LM#1 is 6 years old today. Ahhhhhh! He was so excited this morning as his class will sing him happy birthday, he wears a birthday hat all day, he gets to decide when the class will eat his special snacks he brought in (which are brownies and witch hat cookies). Tonight he wants tacos for dinner, so I need to go to the store ... since he said originally he wanted cheeseburgers, which I have. I don't have ground meat and soft taco shells hanging around the house. :P
DWTS - thank freakin' god Bristol is done. She was on waaaaay too long. I think I'm routing for Shawn, Sabrina and Gilles. :)
