Aw, What?! I'm being abandoned!

in August 2011 Moms

My stepdad got DD1 excited about the idea of going with him to help my brother get his car started. She's excited about going to see her uncle so I'm not going to say no, and they'll probably be gone all day.  My mom is going to eat with my grandparents.  Nobody else was invited, I'm not going to insinuate myself into the outing.  My car is out of commission, too, so I'm stuck at home.

And nobody said a thing to me until everyone was already almost ready to leave.  Nice.

    Yay, you have alone time?!! Is DD2 napping?

    Maybe they thought you wanted a break? They probably should have talked to you about it first.

    I hope you get your car fixed soon. ::sad face::

    Nah, my family don't really operate that way.  They're the "make it better after the fact" type, not so much the "let's be considerate in the first place" type.  Which sounds a lot worse than it is.  They're really not horribly inconsiderate, it's just that they're...erm...spontaneous.  This only ever happens in the context of outings.  They just sort of run off and do things, or make plans and forget about you unless you remind them you'd like to tag along and you can manage to keep up.

    It's my grandma's birthday today, that's why mom's going out.  Step-dad's off to the other side of town because my brother's car broke down and he's got to go fix it.  DD1 is tagging along because she rarely sees her uncle (he's a busy guy).  DD2 is napping, which is nice, but I have a serious case of cabin fever.

    The car thing is just because my insurance lapsed and my student loan company ate my tax refund, so I couldn't pay this month.  I had a word with mom, though, and told her I really didn't want to be cooped up in the house since I always am, and she helped me out with the insurance.  Have to pay her back, of course, but I'll take it if it means getting the plop out of here for a few hours.  I haven't felt sunshine on my face in, like, three days.  I could use some of that uplifting sun power.  I'm fighting really hard to kick this depressive mood in the ass.

    My family is exactly the same!!! It's so funny because I'm used to the "fly by the seat of your pants" type attitude. DH's family has to talk about things for hours. Which, is super annoying if you're used to someone, anyone speaking up then everyone else just going along with it. I think it's the worst when DH's family has to make a choice about going out to eat. They go back and fourth for such a long time that everyone gets hunangry.

    I'm glad your mama came through on your insurance. What's the weather like there this time of year? Can you take DD2 for a nice long walk? Would that help the February funk?
