83. Shopping

Today we have to go fill out paperwork for my mom (after nap time). That is fine and dandy. Then there is the heart medicine my mom wants. While we are at Walmart to pick up her prescription (there is a forty five minute wait period) I am planning on doing a little shopping. Already I feel tense. I feel like I know that my mom will ask for something. In particular she will probably ask for something chocolate. If I buy it for my mom, my husband will get upset. After all buying chocolate for someone with no self control is a never ending process. There for awhile she was buying 8-10 pounds of chocolate a month in the form of candy bars, kisses, and other types of chocolate. Plus licorice, peanut butter m &m's and sometimes more. Then she no longer had food stamps so she wasn't buying all that crap.

I hate feeling all tense and worried. Especially about something like this. But no matter what, I have never been able to say no to my mom. She borrowed money, paid late, and made me take cash out of my credit card to pay my rent because of it, and still I couldn't say no when she wanted to borrow money. And of course there was the time she wanted to live with me feeling she had no other choice, I couldn't say no then either...

Hopes and Questions

I have a lot of hopes about my relationship with mom. She is talking about moving out. Plus she is talking about moving in with her new phone friend. (She has been talking to my "uncle" every night sometimes for hours). Either way, I am really hoping that she moves out by March. She moved in back in March, so she will have lived with us one whole year...

There is a huge question about where she will live and how things will work out. I think that our relationship will be great. The times when I moved out of her house, it made things great. We could talk and spend time together again and there wasn't the issues between us. Additionally, she won't be here all the time. She won't be trying to tell me how to be a mother all the time and so on.

Well, I am not sure how or when it will all work out. However, the other question is, "What will I do with this blog?" I am not sure what I will do or how it will change, though it will change. I have thought of some ideas, but no matter what it will either have to end or change in a gigantic way...

Time will tell...

Dating

The situation is an odd one. There is a man I have known all my life. Him and his wife were my "Aunt and Uncle". They weren't blood related, but they were given those titles none the less. Now my aunt was never nice to my uncle even though he worked hard to take care of her. Now they are divorced and my uncle asked my mom out on a date.

She said yes. But that isn't the funny part. The funny part is how she has been blushing for a week and primping even though he is currently a trucker and not around to see her. He is planning on taking her out the next time he is in Texas. She sorta hopes he wants her to live with him. I love that idea more then I can ever say.

82. Half Planned

Yesterday mom wanted to go apply for food stamps and she had a 3pm doctors appointment. So, I figured we could drop the baby off at 1:30 (he stayed with his aunts and uncles while we did what we had to) and then we could go get the application filled out and then off to the doctors. What my mom didn't tell me until last minute was that she needed to print some stuff off while we were at the in-laws. This is because our printer is dead. Well they bought a Lexmark too, which means we had to leave for the doctors appointment before it was printed off, and I had to come back and get it.

This happens a lot. She doesn't tell me everything that she needs to do, until we are doing it. Or on Thursday she will be like, "Can you borrow the van tomorrow?" (We borrow a vehicle from my in-laws in order to go places, at least we are blessed enough to have that as an option!)

Well, enough complaining for now. Thanks for stopping by.
