What am I thinking?

Why do mothers have to be so darn irritating? And goodness, please, don’t let me turn completely into her. I love my mother with all my heart, I really do. And maybe part of the problem is that I have chosen to delve into that which is me and I see that she appears to be mostly disconnected with herself. But for goodness sake, I just want to shake the woman until she wakes up and gets a grip. She is unhappy and rather than do something about it, she is grumpy with everyone around her. According to the Bro (cause she wasn’t talking to me today), she is upset with work. Again. I don’t know about you, but after several jobs in a row that are personality conflicts or overwhelming workloads, would you not take a look at what jobs you are taking or what your contribution is to these situations? Perhaps instead of jumping from job to job, take some time to determine what you want and are looking for and then search specifically for that. It seems the older she gets, the worse things get. If she weren’t family, I probably would have forced her to listen to me and if that didn’t work, then I would have removed the negativity from my life. But she is family and I do love her and I just wish…she would find something that makes her happy (work, life, otherwise). I can see this leading into a big fight because I am really finding my patience tested by her. The sad thing is, as much as I don’t want to become my mother, I can already see myself reacting like she did with her mother. Doesn’t that say something? Sighhhh.

Lost – sorry ndie, I watched it (but I didn’t erase it) and goodness, did it make my heart break as it was the first show following Charlie’s death at the end of last season (and if you hadn’t made it up that far in Lost – sorry, but it’s been 8 months). Poor Hurley and poor Claire. And goodness, do I miss Charlie. But it is very interesting storyline that they have chosen to follow and I am looking forward to the next 7 shows that they managed to get done before the writer’s strike. I won’t tell you more because I know some people might not have caught up with the show yet. After all, if not for my not being able to resist on Friday, I might not have seen it yet either. It was good though.

Dave made a great point on his Facebook yesterday – since when is –22 temperate? Since it’s the warmest it’s been all week and since there is no windchill. Heehee. This week has been Frigid! I was very happy Friday as I walked outside that the sun was shining and there was little wind because it was almost warm in my winter clothes. I even didn’t put on my leg warmers. Ooooh! And I almost have the whole back yard shoveled. Finally.

Anyway, I have clothes to put away, so I should get on that. Maybe start thinking about supper. Maybe – heehee.

PS - Can anyone tell me why Blogger has decided that I cannot have english at the top of my webpage for the login section? At least I kinda understand Spanish, so it was a bit easier today, but I think last time it was German. Very odd and when I got to the main login page there wasn't even an option for English. Sighhh.
