This taxi driver is OFF DUTY
The kids are not allowed to pester me into taking them every which way they want today. I'm all about staying at home.
I've actually been thinking about my mom lately. Probably because my birthday is soon, then Benny's, then her's. And she will be 40. Now, that may be considered middle age...but you have to realize that I'm going to be 27 this year. My mom had me 2 months before she turned 14. She had Benny 1 month before she turned 30. I am expecting a call from the hospital she is in to tell me she has attempted suicide or at least murder on her birthday...because she WILL freak. I may ask if they can sedate her or something on her birthday so she can sleep through it. Think they'd do it?? =P
But seriously...My first memory ever is a conversation with my mom before she went really crazy. I was 4 and she was pregnant with my sister Trish. She was staying with us (my grandparents and I) in her last trimester but on her first night with us she got scared and came into my room, which used to be her's.
She asked if I wanted a sister or a brother and I remember telling her that since I already had a storebror* I wouldn't mind a sister.
* = means big brother. I used to call my friend Alexander this when we were really little. He was 1 year older than me.
I really liked my mom when I was little and only saw her about one weekend a month - or for about four months straight when she was pregnant. When she was pregnant with Sonny, my second sister, that's when CRAZY just hit my mom.
I guess she was always CRAZY but it really impacts girls when they hit their late teens, early twenties, and she was 21 when she had Sonny. She was manic depressed and temperamental all throughout her pregnancy. The father of Sonny was only 18 (re: fucking my mom at the club she stripped at was his birthday present. Matzol Tov, you a man now) so she was really on her own and couldn't find the little punk.
When she was in labor, she told me that I could name the baby. After my sister was born, my grandma came out of the delivery room and asked me if I thought of a name for another sister. I said, Red Sonja.
Hey - I was eight and had the hots for a fellow Swede!
So my sister Sonny was christianed Red Sonja Brigitta Daae.
But ever since then, my mom was officially crazy. It was a nice 8 years before that...
I talk to her now. I didn't before but one day my babies are going to ask where their mama is...Ben knows she's in a hospital keeping sane but I think when mothers day rolls around, Carol Ann is going to finally start asking questions. It's the age of questioning and she's full of questions...so I want to be on decent enough terms that she can feel free to maybe talk to this woman. Who knows =/
Rebekah will never be well enough to live on her own and no one wants to take care of her (and she knows that) so she is content to be in a hospital. Just keep taking the meds, ma. Keep taking the meds and I can't hate you...
