Thoughts of a Not-So Teenage Girl

So...Um...Issues.

Last night, mom gets pulled over.  Cop says she rolled a stop sign.  I'm not going to be the one to tell my mom that I think the cop was right.  Mom does some crazy things on the road.  Where does she think I get it from?

Anyway, he revokes her license because she missed a court date...Probably for one of the times she got pulled on her car for the tags being expired (which they still are, but at least she's not driving that car anymore.)

Mom's a car salesman, if I haven't mentioned it before.  This could be an issue if the people at work find out.  There's no reason they should, but...You never know.

So now, the money that my mom earned this week that she was going to use to pay my tuition that's due um...a week from now...She has to use to pay off the ticket, and whatever the hell she has to pay to get her license back.

Plus, she's no closer to selling my car.  She hasn't even tried.

So, it's looking like I'm not going to have the money to go to school this semester either.  So I might not graduate with my class after all.  This may really harm my chances to transfer to the uni. of my dreams.

I can't ask for money from my dad either, because the same mom that can't keep up with her bills, and now has to pay for the bazillionth ticket she's gotten that she SWEARS wasn't her fault told Maggie (my sis') to tell him that she would need $1000 to fix her car.  My dad will be getting that money to her the same time my tuition's due.  Here's the thing!  MY DAD WORKS AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE!  OMG!  He could get the parts at a discount rate, and pay for them on credit.  So all Maggie REALLY needs, is a couple of hundred for labour.  I could use the rest for tuition.  But NO!  Mother knows best. -Gag-

To top it off, she told me last week not to worry about paying my ins., because we have a grace period.  She was going to help me pay for it this week.  THANKS MOM!  I really NEED my credit score to go down.  Thanks a lot!  I appreciate your genius!

I hate this, because it's Mother's Day.  You shouldn't be mad at your mom on Mother's Day.  I can't say anything to her, because she's the HARDEST person to talk to.  She swears that nothing's her fault.  She can guilt trip me all she wants, too.  "Shirlyn, WHO'S the one that's paying all the bills?  Do you think it's easy?  Maybe you should live with your dad then, since I'm such a bad mother."  She knows that I admire her, and she still pulls that shit.

We didn't clean the house like she wanted.  Plus, I couldn't afford to take her out for brunch today.  So I really don't have any leverage here.  But I'm pissed.  I also THOUGHT I was taught that you should take your issues directly to the person you have issues with.  Apparently, that was life, not my mother that taught me that.

Smile!  And don't forget to thank your mom for giving you life! : )
