holiday cheer

On Saturday evening I was sitting with a girlfriend of mine in a hotel watching The Hangover.  I sent a text to J saying that I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe.  Only, instead of texting my husband, I accidentally sent that text to my (horror) mom.  If you aren't caught up on my relationship with my mother, read about it here, here or here.

There will be no need to look up the definition of passive aggressive today people, because I am about to give you a perfect example.  Below is the response I received from Mrs. No Wire Hangers herself.

Good for you.  I’m glad your enjoying yourself.  Last night I told this man he smelled good.  I leaned in and smelled him and he called in today and said me leaning in was an invasion of his privacy and he wanted me fired.  I had to beg for my job and then tonight I went to White Castle and hit a pole and ripped my mirror off.  I’m glad your enjoying yourself.  xxxoo.

I would like to dedicate today’s post to this very large country that allows me to live thousands of miles away from crazyville. Oh SNAP.  I just figured out what I am thankful for this year.  Look at me getting all holiday festive and shit.

Don't have enough money to buy a car? You should not worry, just because that's achievable to receive the credit loans to solve all the problems. Thus get a student loan to buy everything you require.

Oh that is my worst nightmare...that I'm going to send my husband some text like HEY YOU LOOK HOT IN THAT and send it to a client or my neighbor or another kid's parent. The thought of doing that keeps me up at night!

Oh Man, my mum would give yours a run for her money too - she always manages to reply to completely innocuous comments with a reply about how she'd love to do that do, but since teh company is broke and they are being sued they'll probably lose their house. Or how my dad probably won't live another year to see it. I made that up, but it's that kind of thing. The kind of problems that I can't help with, so all it serves to do is make me really down. And then in the next sentence, she'll talk about buying a new mercedes. My jaw just drops.Like - PRIORITIES?

My mom doesn't use a computer or text. And it is widely known that I will take a hammer to the head of anyone who teaches her to do so.

I finally broke down and got glasses the night my cell phone rang during my evening commute. I looked down and thought the phone said "Tom" (my husband), but instead it really said "Mom". She was exceedingly unimpressed with my sexy "Hey, Sugarbritches."

Woooooooooow. You probably win for most redneck, but I really feel that I could give you at least a run for your money on dysfunctional. All I'm going to think about all day though, is front teeth. Jeez!
