We had our fireworks show last night, it was raining on the fourth. It pretty much sucked, it was small this year and they were waiting 5-10 minutes between blasts. Some of it was pretty, but, I didn't get to see much because of Mom and Lis. Honestly, my mother is so irritating. Look at her face. I debated putting that on here because she was getting ready for bed, but, she came out. I had asked BOTH of them if they wanted a chair brought back to the garden and they both said no, twice. Mom said she just came out to watch it from her door and she wasn't going all the way to my garden. Fine. I got back there and sat down and they started shooting and here she comes. Bitching all the way. Yak, yak yak. Oh, the skeeters were biting, oh, it's awful, look at the bugs, OMG the bats are out! Cripes. We had OFF, I'd brought it out in a carry all. I gave it to her and she manged to choke me with it and still claimed the mosquitos were eating her alive. Then her back hurt and her feet hurt and I said, here, take my chair (that you didn't fucking want) and sit down. Then Lissa saw Grandma Tuwella having a chair so she wanted her little chair. By the time I got back they were being really loud. THEN she got into it with Lissa and got childish. All I heard was "No I didn't. Yes, You did too!" about 50 times. Who the hell gets into a pissing match with a 5 year old? Then they both got in front of me even though there's acres out there. So I gave up. Fuck it. You can't watch anything with my mother. You can never ever watch a movie, she's one of those people who talks all through it asking dumb questions. Same with fireworks I guess. I went to get a flashlight for her and she accused me of leaving her all alone in the dark "wilderness." Fuck. I didn't invite her. I know, I just sound mean. Sometimes I'm so bitchy I can't stand my own self. But, Lis and I had had a great day and Mom just screws with my head. I know she can't help some of it, but, crap. She actually told me she was going to ask a neighbor to cut down their tree so we'd have a better view of the fireworks next year. Jesus. I had to tell her she'd better not pull that crap, people will think she's nuts. And she didn't watch anyway, she was too busy yapping and fighting with Lis. The old lady stresses me out everytime she starts that non stop nonsense talking and she can't help herself. She's never imagined a silent moment in her life. Sometimes I wish I'd go deaf.

I KNOW I sound petty, but, I love the garden at night and the fireworks are only once a year. This is the first time I have ever had a garden here to watch them and I was looking foreward to it. So, if the old lady hates fireworks (which she kept saying all night) then why did she even come out there?
Psssssssssssssssst next year don't mention the word "fireworks" and maybe she won't remember and go to bed....:) (there will be years when you will watch them alone with Lissa... and the 2009 ones will be a memory to smile about) stop giving me dirty looks hahaha
she came out there to share the moment with you! :P
You're probably right Tia, but, she makes me puke sometimes.
Pat are you having menopause? I am and it sucks! I am such a mean bitch sometimes too. Everything irritates me & I have zero patience now. It makes me feel bad & I dont enjoy the way it makes react to things. I feel like I am on edge all the time. This just started. I think the whole menopause thing started about a year ago when my periods started to become irregular. Now I am having tiny flop sweats too. My upper lip gets a glow & I feel like going nakey in the car with the AC on. Then I get cold!! I can't eat enough ice. I bitch about everything. So, I know how old I am, and you are around my age. I was born in July 1957. I am OLD! So, relax. Your mom is just trying to stay alive! If she bitches it makes her feel active and alive. And involved. It's not fun but it's all she has! LOL!!! And she IS sharing it with you, like Tia said! Enjoy!!! We are next to be like that! All old & crabby & growing at everything! No, I hope not!! And BTW - I am nearly deaf in my right ear. It sucks but sometimes its awesome!!! When someone is riding with me in the car, I cant hear a damn word they say!! LOL
*growling
Sunflowers! Sunflowers!!!!
Yep. The ones in the front are blooming.
I was thrown straight into menopause years ago by a hysterectomy. I take hormones. This isn't the change,,it's rage. I am sick of being related to idiots.
I understand your rage. My mother loves to agitate and bitch as well. It's on purpose. I try to remember, the reason she is so good at "pushing my buttons" is because she installed them.
She gets off on it. Don't ask me why. Sounds like yours does as well. I try to smile and ignore. I have blown up a few times in the past and then she acts all wounded and surprised. It makes me sick. So now I ignore. She wants to create a problem; she wants to cause commotion.
So I ignore.
it seems when you get to that age, you have no other entertainment than to bitch about stupid shit and make everyone else miserable...
Just remember in 20 years we get to be a pain in the ass to our kids!! Just kidding I keep hoping I remember what an ass my dad has been and do not become that!
Pat,
Maybe you could install pad locks on the outside of her doors and then just lock her in when you need some peace and quiet...
LMAO @ Nina. Oh, Bill, I'm telling you, if I get that bad I want to be shot.
