I made a new LJ layout :) It's a pretty simple one but I'm enjoying it thus far. Check it out: HERE. I don't know how my bandwidth will hold out but I'm hoping it does okay :)
I think my mother has resolved to be nice to me for her new years resolution. It's creepy. Also she's not going about it really well. Today she came into my room as I was just dialing the phone and getting ready to go meet my dad and she told me dinner was in 5 minutes. Which was nice but seeing as how I didn't ask for dinner and wasn't consulted at all about it, I can't be blamed for being unavailable when dinner is served. (and actually it's her new trick to try to have me eat early with my brother on the days he works so I'm not around to have dinner with her and my dad when he gets home, I wonder how dumb she thinks I am...) ANYWAYS I was impatient at being interrupted as I was trying to make a phone call/getting ready to leave and so as I was leaving she had this whole speech about how she was trying to do a nice thing and would appreciate it if I didn't yell at her (funny because I never once yelled) etc etc.
Then during the dinnertime that I was around for she started going on about how she had to shovel the snow today. And I asked if she hadn't asked my brother to do it yesterday and she had to conceed that yes she had, but she just did it before he got up this morning. This drives me nuts. She likes to do things that appear to be nice on the surface but she only does them so she can complain and appear to be the poor jilted parent later. It's not even as though my brother and I are kids anymore. No one has to make us dinner, I'm sure that in a house full of food we can cook for ourselves lol. But if food is put in front of us already made we're not saying no.
Also she was complaining about the laundry today... she still does all of my brother's laundry, folds it and brings it up to his room... seriously, if you think you're doing too much larundry then stop dong his. Don't spend 5 minutes complaining that you're working so hard when you're just making yoruself work hard for no reason.
