2004-02-15 05:43:08 ET Ever since about 93 my Mom had always bought us Valentines gifts. Well, since my Mother had her stroke things have been strange...as you can imagine....WELL I KNOW things are going to be different, BUT I didn t know weird things were going to happen.... I ve been helping my parents a lot. They live about 20mins south....and her Rehab is about 45 min to the NW. I always have to drive her home too and I usually go back home or to work for about 5-6 hrs....as you can imagine these can make for rather long days. O.o tired SO YA! the point of this post. This is how life used to be. I would go and visit and Dad would bitch and grumble at me and tell me "You need to get a real job and blah blah blah. You need to take out those piercings, go to school be responsible!" So now I m trying my best to be responsible! Yesterday he called me at work and he was like... "When do you got off?" "Do you work both jobs today?" I informed him that I did and that afterwards I was heading straight home....so I decided to squeeze in a visit between the two. He bought me a Valentines gift...some cute little chocolates wrapped to look like some Pansys. He has also been REALLY super nice. Things have changed...and for the better. Dad sees that I AM no longer a kid. ME: I m a playful person....I talk silly and I think I m a cat. I have weird hair, a weird job and piercings. Ummm, ya...that makes me a lil different, but I m still a person who lives and works and takes care of an apartment, a cat, a dog...AND a boyfriend. BLAH! So ya....I think he is getting the picture and I m glad. Dad has been much more of a joy to be around and we don t argue every time I m there....fuck, if we did...that would be A lot of arguing.... :P I need a vacation...preferably a cruise. |
