| The Loins from Which I Sprung Forth |
My parents are here. This makes it so that by the end of the day, I am exhausted.
My mother's crabby, and i don't know why. She spent some time explaining to me this evening WHY it was MY FAULT that I didn't go to Yale from my high school. How I wouldn't get off my RUMP and take school seriously.
Sometimes, I think she forgets that it's been uh, 15 years?
she also was angry with me earlier because I made my kids stop "playing a game" which she didn't want them to stop playing, and asked me just who I think I am, for telling them to stop.
Well, actually, I'm their mother.
Beloved doesn't feel good.
Thing One was mean to her sister.
My father made racist comments that really upset me.
It is not a good day. Despite the fact that we went to the zoo, and I spent probably over an hour (all told) staring at big cats and the weather was gorgeous.
We went out to dinner, and it was mediocre, at best.
good things about the day: it was 68 and sunny; I saw tigers fighting and playing like kittens; i saw a lion roar; my kids both made me laugh on several ocassions; i had a yummy breakfast; i discovered a yummy new wine.
i will try and focus on those things. |
