Missed college today due to my Mum letting the dog into my room last night while I was asleep. The damn thing jumped on my chest, then got one of its toys that makes a god-awful racket and started to try and burry it in my sternum at round about three in the morning. I got to sleep after a few hours and then promptly slept through my alarm at 07:00.
THEN when I wake up, she tries to guilt me into helping her babysit my neice and nephew (read: Do all the work while she sits there drinking tea, watching t.v. and doing the occasional nappy change) by saying that I didn't go to college today, and that she can't cope on her own. She was going to do by herself it while I was at college anyway.
After I tell her that I wasn't going to do it, she tries lying to my gran who's recovering from surgery, by saying that I told her I was going to help and got her to call me so that I can take a pot of paint up to my brother's place with Mum. I told her I was't going and why. Guilt attempt 2: Failure
My Mum then tries to dump my Gran's shopping list on me. I tell her that I don't know where less than half the things on the list where and that it was her task in the first place, so she has to do it. Guilt 3: Failed
Then just before she left and after a wave of profanity and insults, she told me I was going to "Live to regret this".
I regret few things, and have little in the way of objects that are irreplaceable compared to what's on my computer. She knows this, so I assume that she has made the hardrives for my Xbox360 and PC her targets, college work on the PC be damned. So to err on the side of caution, I'm going to disconnect them and hide them somewhere for a while.
The funny thing is that I do the most for her regarding things like this. I help her with the shopping when I
should be studying. I do running about for her that she can easily do herself. And I'm the one that has to put up with her *****ing and whining when something pisses her off.
The wonders of the "Human Condition", eh?
