  • Day 4: Your parents

    So tonight we took hubby out to dinner at Hometown Buffet and it was absolutely delicious. We were having a great time until it came time to come home. Some moron <me> locked their keys in the cars and some other moron <hubby> forgot his keys at home. We then waited nearly 2.5 hrs for AAA to come unlock my car in less than 2 minutes flat! The entire time we had to listen to Nina whine and complain that I was stupid and she was missing her show blah blah blah. Guess who went straight to bed as soon as we came home for being a rude brat.. Yup you guessed right if you guessed Ms Nina.

    We still had a good meal and a few laughs so that is all that matters. I have never ever locked myself out of my car before this for the record and I am in no hurry to repeat the situation. Now on with the 30 day challenge.

     

    Day 4: Your parents

    I suppose that I was a lucky person in some ways. My parents never divorced and only my father's death separated them from one another. My mother was born in 1950, and my father was born in 1934. They met when my mother was babysitting for my dad and his first wife. I can still remember getting into quite a bit of hot water for saying my dad boinked the  babysitter. She was I think 15 when they met. My dad died in 2000 when he lost his battle with brain cancer, not that it was really a battle he refused treatment and well it killed him. I was never close to my father, sure I think about him from time to time but I don't necessarily miss him. There were some abuse issues and I will leave it at that. My mother did her best that she knew what to do, she had already been raising 6 children by the time I came along and well I literally broke the family's pocket book. I did not have the best childhood but I imagine it could have been worse. My mother now lives in Missouri, where she moved to be closer to her grand son whom she helped raise. She is dating a very nice man (that I introduced her to) that I truly consider to be my step-dad. He has been more supportive of me and my decisions than most people have and he does so by choice. I don't get to see my mother and step-dad very often but then again that may be best because my mother and I do not tend to see eye to eye for long periods of time. We love each other but we bump heads quite a bit.
