Moving Mum
My mother is driving me crazy with wanting to "help" me move.
However:
-She doesn't want to rent a truck
-she is convinced I can move in two days before my classes start
-She wants the entire family to be there
This is frankly, ridiculous.
Originally, I wanted to move in May 14, so I'd have over a week to settle in, fenangle furniture eight times, and get to know my neighbors (About whom the only thing I know is that they run a BBQ business).
But, NOT SO!
Because I needed to "spend time with the family" I am forced into staying home two weeks (when my parents and sister are working full-time and none of my home-friends will be done with school yet), to bond or something. In a house with no solid doors. By myself. With no car.
Basically, I'm thinking it's a prime opportunity to pull out the artist card and spill charcoal everywhere.
But, I really hate being by myself.
However, I went with it, and claimed the move-in date of May 21st. Then I realised: it is 9.25 hours to where I will be living from home, so I'd have to make special accomodations with the rental people to be there to hand me a key and such. Once more, NO southern establishment is going to deliver a mattress on a weekend.
So then I decided I'd go down a day early, crash at Andrew's, then get up early to go check into the apartment, unload his car full of my stuff (he will have all my stuff from my dorm), and get groceries and things until Mom and Dad arrive with the other car (She still refuses to rent a truck) full of my things.
Somehow, Mom read that as: "So I have to take off work in order to go with you Thursday and move you in then"
NO
NO, my move-in day hasn't changed
NO, I don't want you to go with me
NO, I don't need you here to arrange my apartment for me
...
...Yes, I do need your money.
So we'll see how this pans out.
