hoveringsombreroshock!
shock and dismay!
oh well maybe not dismay ;)
i had thought mayhaps my brother might have gone home without telling me and i was going to talk to my mother today anyway.
so i called her house and she answered, and i said "hi mom! call me right back" she said "ok! bye bye!"
she is aware of my sudden lack of long distance
so she rang back and turns out my brother is no there, and she has not heard from him either.
so i talked with her for a while, another reason i wanted to talk to my brother was that i wanted him to enter![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cyn's short story contest so i told mother about it and she might enter, i read her all the rules and she wrote them down.
an entry from my brother would have been very funny, but it'll be interesting to see what she comes up with if she does.
she was thinking about coming up to visit me and take me to old sac, but other things came up. and next weekend she'll be in Las Vegas (look out cyd!) looking at a house that they're considering buying.
what the hell is it with both of my parents independently deciding they want to move to Nevada?
anyway i came to a conclusion recently RE: my mother situation. especially after reading a lot of other people's horrible mother stories lately.
i like talking to her and i like hanging out with her when she's behaving.
i know her well enough to usually steer her away from conversations that cause her to bitch at me.
there will always be issues that i will feel the need to confront her about, but not right now.
i let her affect me too much now and trying to "resolve issues" that she isn't even fully cognizant of is jut going to upset ME, because, currently, i see no viable way to get any of my points thru her thick skull full of preconceived notions which she is rabidly attached to.
and maybe i have no right to change her way of thinking.
live and let live, play nice, avoid argument making topics.
this is the dealing with mother strategy for now.
