Well, its getting close for this year to end. What did I do? Not much. Still have a great boyfriend, still have the same job, got in contact with some old friends this year, not doing well in school as I have hoped but I have done some thinking. Whats going to happen this new year? I applied and hope I get that new full time job where I get paid more, have benefits and move out. I'm putting my education to a halt for a while because I really dont know what I wanted to do in that field and dont want to waste money on it till I figure it out. Mom is not happy but I'm tired of her making choices for me and she doesnt understand why I won't do things she tells me or want me to do. Not like chores I mean. More like, just go into this major and get the associates and then maybe we'll talk about you moving out but I rather you have a Bachalors then you can move out kind of thing. I'm 21, I wish I knew what I wanted to do, that I finished school already. But since it hasnt happened that way, I'm gonna do something else and its agianst my mom's wishes. I'm rebeling agianst her, I'm making my own choices she wont like. Still be in contact with old friends and make new ones, and hope for a next step in certain relationship ( we could only hope) though I dont want to rush things. Now this weekend, I'm spending new years with my dad and family in Lawerencville. I dont know if I ever posted about an incident at Thanksgiving but here it is ::
My baby brother and I had a rough time convincing mom we wanted to see Dad on Thanksgiving ( she has a problem sharing holidays) and finally agreed if some one comes picks us up. She wont let us use our cars ( am I 21 or 5 years old? ) and that was another arguement. She said we couldnt take our cars. She is afraid something might happen something awful and said if I decided to take one of the cars, even my own, she would report it stolen. I pay the unsurance but she has the title. ( Has she lost her mind?) THen my dad's sister Aunt Sue agreed to come pick us up. Dinner was at 6 at his house. Aunt Sue got a late start because she lost her keys and we arrived almost an hour late but Hey, doesnt matter, we ate at mom's, they shouldnt be pissed right? Well, Dad was actually happy to see us ( its supposed to be a family event isn't it? ) Leigh Ann was a little pissed at Sue, not at us for being late, they had their arguement outside. Auntie M on the other hand, her words to me was "Next time you have two parties, pick one and stick to it" and "You arrived to dinner late, why bother coming?" Ok, maybe she had a drink too many but she has been more bitter this year then before. I was pissed and hurt but I didnt want to cause any problems because its a family event. Then I heard she said it to Jared and he actually started to cry. I was even more pissed, we both had a hard time getting here and its the thanks we get and Dad was mad but I dont think he did anything about it. Leigh Ann afterwards told me the conversation she had with Dear Auntie M about that when M said " I have made half the food and If the kids arrived late, why bother showing up? And no one mentioned to me that Puppet ( Heather's friend) and Patrick ( dad's friend ) with his dog showing up." Leigh Ann looked to her and said "Well, last time I checked, I made more then half the food, in MY house, and its always been open door party, everyone is welcomed and no one told me your son was bringing company." :: M:: "Well thats different" She is pushy, opiniated, butts her nose in everyone's business, is rude. Who in the hell just walks into some one's house and takes over. After that dinner, she yelled for Athena and me to clean up the kitchen. can some one say, fuck off? If leigh Ann asked, I would gladly do it. Its her kitchen. I also made a screwdriver for myself after that. Dad says that was just a taste on what the Sanchez family is like ( since we dont see them that much and some live far away)
Auntie M has become more bitter then ever and its getting worse. This year she asked Dad if it was ok if she didnt get anyone a gift for christmas. I dont care. Thats fine with me. You're not getting anything from me this year either. Last year, she got me feminen sanitary wipes. Thanks auntie, just a card would have been nice. But hey, everytime I go to the bathroom and take one out to wipe my ass with ,I'll think of you. ::sighs and holds up a glass:: Cheers to another family holiday. Its a wonder some families drink on holidays.
