You’re Invited To Join The Orgy
Posted on November 28th, 2008 in Housekeeping
I WANT to write more blog posts about our time in Montreal, I really do, I just don’t think I have the will at the moment. My mother drains me of all capacity to do anything, except for eating chocolate and sitting in the corner rocking myself.
Her visits are always like this. Stressful, fraught with irritation, eye-rolling, and throwing my hands up in frustration. She just…DOES.NOT.GET.ME!
I told V tonight that I am certain my mother doesn’t like me. I mean, I *know* she loves me, I just don’t think she fancies me at all as a person. She loves my kids as though they are all that is left in this world, and because of that I will remain at least congenial in her presence. I will excuse her criticism, her biting tone, her obvious disapproval of everything I do that doesn’t revolve around my children.
As much as I love her, I find spending too much time with her as enjoyable as having a colonoscopy with a string of barbed wire.
So, once I have recuperated, I am sure my desire and ability to write will return. There are list items to mention, and photos to post, and disappointing one night stands to recount. Stay tuned.
Coming up in the next week or two I shall be posting a series of toy reviews under “Shasta’s Guide To Gift Giving”. I have a lot of great stuff to feature, and hopefully some of you will get some stocking-stuffer inspiration.
I’m off to enjoy a bottle of wine, and the company of people with whom I actually get along.
