It's snowing! I've had all I can stand of this crap & I want it to go away post haste! I think I've been made more so to hate it because all last week my mom called always at bad times because she didn't have power & was board. It got old quick, mostly because I couldn't sleep with out fearing if my mom & pets were going to die in the night due to the lack of power, that was until she got a heater. It also didn't help that she continued to say things making me panic, stupid things, & some senile like things.
Things got progressively worse when she received calls from one of her friends, who kept telling my mom that the national gaurd was going door to door & if:
a.) your house was not a certain temp would make you leave
b.) your house smelled like kerosene would take your heater away
c.) the door wasn't answered they would break it down & force you to leave if a & b were true.
The whole idea of this put my mom in near hysterics she went from, "I'm not leaving the pets," to, "They can't do that, can they," to, "Would they have someone come take care of the pets if they make me leave." I wanted to kill her friend for telling her this crap, the whole while I'm trying to calm her down & tell her they couldn't do that & that they were just going around to check up on people & see if they were okay.
Travis had officially had enough when we spent our anniversary together but with my mom. Our anniversary dinner was spent talking to my mom, she wanted to know what was going on & she listened to the news. He was further pissed off when she was talking to me & I would say something, she would ask a question about it, then ignore what I said or change the subject suddenly because she realized she had no interest in it at all. He said he felt that it was rude & yeah it is but that's just how she is now & has been since we moved out & maybe a little before that but I just never noticed.
I thought for sure he was going to completely loose it when Sunday she called just before we were going to walk out the door to get the things we couldn't get accomplished through the week taken care of. She's called before when we were eating or going to walk out the door. She's also bitched at me because I never heard the call or it never went through to my phone she complained I never answer the phone & that she saw no point in having the cell phone because I never answer; which resulted in me being guilt into answering my phone for her or fearing that if I don't get to it in time that she will just bitch at me again. She knows the phones we have suck & she refuses to think about it being the phone then makes things harder for me because she never leaves a message on voice mail so I know she called even if the phone never tells me she did. That's the whole reason why I have my voice mail set up at least now it is.
Travis took me to Applebee's after we got off the phone with my mom because he wanted a private dinner with me & my blood sugar was low enough that I couldn't concentrate for more than a few seconds on any topic. Which is another thing that pisses Travis off about my mom, she acts like she doesn't care when it comes to me eating on time to her it's like I don't have diabetes. My mom's always been that way tho, even before I found out I had diabetes, she's more worried about things that are in her interest or for her benefit. Anyway he told me if the phone rang while we were eating that I couldn't answer it because we were going to eat in peace. We did and it was. We got our running done after that & then my mom called, I ended up dealing with her until 2am which resulted in throwing off my sleep schedule yet again... that has been something pissing me off about my mom for the last 4 months.
You know what DONE! I'm tired and I need a shower... I'm taking said shower and then taking a nap.
