(no subject)
Well this weekend turned out to be much shittier than I expected. My dad and I took the dog (Cody) to the vet yesterday because he'd been favoring his front left leg. We figured he'd fractured it somehow, but nope, it was bone cancer. The vet said that even if they amputated his leg, the cancer would still spread. So, we had to have him put to sleep yesterday. Not a good end to a weekend.
I had left two messages for my mom yesterday and I had hoped to hear from her last night when I got home, but she never called. She did call my dad and she was really sad about Cody, but she never called me. I thought it was really weird that she wouldn't return my calls.
I called her tonight and we talked about Cody and then other things. The conversation turned to Greg's parents and I think she got irritated with me because I was saying nice things about them. It sounds weird, I know. She has this weird thing where she thinks that somehow Greg's mom will "replace" her, like me and his mom are going to start hanging out on the weekends or something. Anyway, I was talking and I noticed she was completely silent. So I asked her what the matter was. Of course, she denies that anything is wrong but I can't let it go. I told her I obviously said something wrong because her tone had completely changed. She denied it, said she just wanted to get dinner on the table, and asked if we could drop it. After a curt good-bye, we hung up. Wow, just what I needed after the horrible day I had yesterday. Gah!
...and five minutes later:
Well, I was about to post this mopefest and my mom called back. She explained that she was upset about Cody's death and worried about where my dad and Chris were going to live (even though they're far from selling the house). Then she admitted that when I started talking about Greg's mom (all I'd said was that I'm glad his mom and I get along so well because not everyone is so lucky to like their in-laws) she was bothered a bit, but acknowledged that it's not fair to me to feel that way. I told her that she cannot get silent like she did and expect me to not say something...I don't let anyone get away with the silent treatment. We talked for a bit more and I thanked her for calling me and explaining.
In other, better news, I got an e-mail from bridesave.com, the website where I ordered my wedding gown and headpiece. It's a confirmation that something has shipped. The only thing is, I don't know what it is because I ordered the items separately and the e-mail gives no clues. I'm thinking (hoping) it's the dress because I ordered it on March 18. The headpiece I just ordered last week. So, come Thursday (the scheduled ship date) I shall have a dress or a tiara. Wheee!
