My mom and I

My Mom and I have weird relationship. Sometimes you see us and we look like sisters, sometimes we look best friends, but this morning we had that mother and daughter love/hate thing going on.

I’ve been trying to budget my grandmother’s bills for months. There is always a bill she doesn’t tell me about or she’ll spend the money and not tell me. (I mean how can you pay a bill if you have no money, right?) So at first, I’ll calmly handle these companies on the phone. I will explain we’ll get the money on this date or so on and so on, and that usually works for the most part. However I had a plan worked out with two companies, and the money is spent. ERRRRRR.

I’m grateful that my mother told me this morning before I called the company. However, we still need to get money for this bill by next week. I don’t get paid until next Friday and they want the money by next Tuesday. Maybe I can call and explain the situation. . . I’ll be honest that just depends on the teller whether they would give me a three day window. We could as my uncle, but the gates of hell may open up if they do that.

My mom used to bail my grandmother out. I have bills of my own, I can’t afford to bail my grandmother out. I have a lawyer to pay off. I have to help my brother pay off his court case and I still want to save for a cell phone and a car.  My grandmother needs to realized that she has bills that need to be paid before she goes to Bingo. I also hope my mother gets a job soon.

I was calm this morning, but turned into a wannabe rationalizing bitch real fast when my mother said if I didn’t want to bail my grandmother out then I could move out. It’s not that I don’t want to help my grandmother out, I do. However I have bills of my own that have to be paid. I also have my brother’s bills to be paid or my mother’s precious son could go back to jail. ERRRR.

So we were yelling and in the mist of all the yelling, complaining, whining, and bitching, I realize we couldn’t find the money order for the mortgage, so we are still looking for that. we called the bank to see if we could cancel the money order and re write it, but they don’t know yet. I’ll call and look again tomorrow.

It’s funny my horoscope which I usually look at for fun said I was going to have money troubles today. Wow, for like the tenth time it was right.

However that is the relationship my mom and I have we could bitch at each other one moment and be best friends the next. I don’t know how she puts up with me–with her I just roll my eyes a lot. LOL.
