Day 04

Your Parents.

*sigh* there are so many things that I could say about my parents. I could talk about what it was like growing up without a dad around, or I could talk about what it was like picking up my life, moving to another state and suddenly having a father figure. However I’m not really going to talk about either of those, as they’re way too long to type out, and I’m sadly very tired right now.

So my mom. My mom is someone that I get along with. We’re very alike. Yes there are times that I literally want to kill her and don’t want to talk to her because she’s royally pissed me off. But for better or worse, my mother is someone that I respect. She raised me as a single mother, went to school full time, and had a full time job. Her life was probably hell, but she made everything seem easy, and all in all I had a good childhood.

My Dad. My dad is an asshole. He always has been, he always will be. I believe the reason he treats me the way he does is because I was not male. See my father wanted to pass down the lovely family name. However due to the fact that I wasn’t male, this meant that he was WJS the 4th.. and there would be no fifth. Sometimes I believe that my father actually does care about me, other times I really do wonder if he’s my father or if he’s just someone that enjoys saying he’s my father just to be a dick to me.

My step father. Michael has been my step father for.. 5 years(?) now. I don’t really have much to say about him though. We get along enough. There are times that I believe that he’ll never treat me as an equal to his children, and there is the long going debate that there are double standards for me, but not his kids. However that aside. Michael is a really nice guy. He makes my mom happy and in all honesty that is really all that matters.

So, in a nutshell.. thats.. my parents. Nothing all that flashy about them. Though I do get very angry with all of them at times, I still love them very much.

That dear Jack, was my foot!

Ugh so today I mowed the lawn for my mother (funny that I’m home on “vacation” and I’m still doing work.. tomorrow I’m cleaning the shower.. -.-) however before i did that I had to move a car jack from infront of the lawn mower.. well I picked it up.. and it came down on my toes.. it hit two of them.. and one is really really REALLY bruised (I might take a picture of it..might..) and the other just hurts like a bitch. So now I walk normal..ish I just keep my toes from touching the ground XD

Anyway! So after that I went to an outlet mall with my mom :D she bought me two new pairs of jeans(which I REALLY needed) a new pair of shoes (my old ones have a hole in one and almost a hole in the other.) some underwear (5 for 15 and then a military discount) and uhm.. thats it I think. I then bought myself some jewelry at claires.. My mom got us dinner and then I got her starbucks. All in all it was a nice day, besides my damn toes.

But yeah, thats really all that happened XD Tomorrow I’m cleaning more and then going to Panera and a movie with one of my friends. That should be fun, I haven’t hung out with him in a while.

I feel like this isn’t a completely useless post though, so that makes me feel a bit better. I think wednesday I might do like a review of something just to “spice” things up a bit XD

<3

Don’t ask me to do something….

If you really don’t give a shit.

So I guess I’m going to stay on the mom topic for a bit longer. Then move onto something else. May just make it two posts though.

So my mother.. -.-

When I started college she was really really upset with me because I would only call once a week. To her I wasn’t calling enough and she was always worried about me. So fine. When I started working at Jimmy Johns I started calling her right after I got off work or right before I started (depending on the shift).

For the first two weeks everything went smoothly..however now? When I call her she’s either playing a game on her DS or just not paying attention. I find myself repeating myself 5-10 times on the same thing. Then she gets mad at me, because I’m getting mad that she’s not paying attention. The other day I told her “Look you said you wanted me to call you more often. I am, so either talk to me or play your game.” That one day, she put down her game.

Tonight I was in a really bad mood, and since it was 4AM when I got off work for Richard, I decided not to call him and wake him up. Simply because I don’t like waking him up. He needs his sleep just like I do.

So I call my mom. I start talking about it, and I hear this background noise, sure enough she’s playing a damn game. So I start to have to repeat myself.

Its getting to the point now when I say something she just doesn’t reply and I’m getting sick of it. Part of me just wants to stop calling.

Then again if I did that I would have no one to vent to.

So thanks mom for making me feel like crap. High five.
