Today I did something Im not proud of. Oh, hell, who am I kidding? Im glad I did what I did, glad I tell you! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
OK, heres what went down. First, my mother is insane. She was having some friends of hers from church over today for, well hell, I dont know, for fun I guess. She has been going bat-shit crazy for about a month now over it. She actually made my brother go out yesterday with the power washer and wash the fucking house. No, Im not kidding. As I pulled up to the house yesterday after work and seeing him hose the place down I mentioned that this was totally nuts; I also mentioned that I planned on spending the day at the library today and that is when he let me know that our presence was required at this meeting of the aged minds. Um, what the hell? This was the first that Ive heard of it! I came so close to saying fuck it and leave anyway. After all, Im almost 40 and am a bit too old to be forced to entertain my mommys friends. Hell, shes a 72 year old widowed diabetic whos trying to pay off a mortgage (pretty much every reason why Im living here) so I decided to try to humor her. When they arrived at 3 this afternoon I just couldnt handle the thought of dealing with this so I text a friend to text me back in five minutes so I could get the hell out. After about 45 minutes, or what it three weeks, I dont know, he never text me back. I had an opportunity to go and fix a drink for my mother so I quickly text another friend to get me the fuck out! Up to this point the conversation had been who had died, everyones medical history, garage sales and pet fish. Im surprised my head didnt explode. After I got back from getting a drink for my mom, two minutes later my phone went off. I thought my second friend was early, no, it was my first friend. THANK GOD!!! I quickly faked an emergency at work and took off. I went to see the movie 9, it was pretty good, bizarre but I like that. And I really got lucky; everyone had left when I got home. Was it dishonest? Yes. Did it keep my sanity? Um, fuck yes.
