At home update...

Things have been somewhat busy here with getting things going for my school starting and what not. I am taking some really reading intensive classes this semester and I do not know how I am going to do it...I am not a text book reader...normally I just read what the instructor doesnt cover...if that much. I just don't learn that way. I am going back to work at Mickey D's as mentioned in the last post, that is not so bad really, maybe I can take some revenge on that evil shake machine!! woohoo.

S has his very first school friend sleepover tomorrow night, he is so excited. The friends mom will be picking him up at school and then dropping him off again Saturday afternoon. I am incredibly nervous...my baby is going over to a friends to sleep over!! Not supposed to happen yet!!

Over Christmas I called my mother as usual to wish her a Merry christmas and she never called back. Recently speaking to my brother I found out that she had chosen not to call me, because she was AGAIN mad at me for some slight or another. So, I of course, decided to write her an email, I updated her on the goings on in my life and asked her how she was doing. Well, to make a VERY long story short, she went a little crazy, as my mother is wont to do. I decided to stop pussyfooting around with her and tell her like it is...gently mind you...she is a bit crazy. She FINALLY talked to someone else about the issues and they gave her some perspective...and now we are starting to get a little closer to a real live mother/daughter relationship...not that I have any real expectation that this will be something that will last but hey...ya gotta take it where you can get it.

Well, I have some MORE reading to do...grrr
