Crazy Thought

Hello Everyone:

Once again it's hot and kind of humid.  Even worse, The Minion has reached his summer vacation limit.  He's bored which means he's ready to start school.  Believe it or not he has one more week of vacation to go.  I think everyone reaches a vacation saturation point, for some it takes longer than others.  Mum was getting on my nerves today over the stove.  The burners are not lighting up a quickly as they should, forcing us to use a match or candle.  I called maintenance this morning and naturally they are taking their own time.  I guess a temperamental stove is not as important as an exploding toilet.  Naturally, mum is not going to leave me alone about it until maintenance fixes the problem.  That and her constant complaints about the heat are making my life kind of miserable for now.  At least the Sometime BF is a bright spot.  Speaking of mum and the Sometime BF, I had this kind of crazy notion on the way home from the dollar store today.  My thought was that mum maybe jealous of every new relationship I have because it means that she has to compete with someone else for my attention.  Also, a new relationship means that the possibility that she might lose someone who just barely tolerates her.  It sounds crazy but she always seems to throw major shade on every relationship I have.  For example, last Saturday the Sometime BF was held up by traffic on his way to my sister's house.  Of course mum has to chime in with a comment along the line of he's pulling his disappearing act.  That upset me because I'm starting to think he's finally for real.  She's also mentioned that it would be best if we just friends nothing more.  Perhaps I shouldn't be so sensitive but I feel like she can't stand the competition.  It's like she wants me to find someone to settle down with but not really.  By not really, I think she wants me to continue to look after things and remain very close by-ie stay at home.  I want to get as far away from her and everyone else as fast as possible.  I said it was crazy but that's how I feel.  I just wish that sis and the BIL would take over for me. Mum can throw all the shade she wants but she will be the one dealing with the consequences in the end.
