Avon Calling

Ooh, OCD says “yes” with the 1 month, 1 week & 1 day till I’m back home with Bear!

First day in my new job went fairly well all considered. The best bit was getting to go home at 3:30pm but being paid till 5pm. Can’t complain! So yeah, I’m quite happy with it all at the moment, but no doubt it won’t last – either way, since it’s only for five weeks.

My mother tells me she’s,

“Tried to call eight times now & will try again later”

Now, surely she noted the eight right? Surely I’m not the only one who thinks that is ever so slightly erm…freakzone?

This is what she does. She’ll call my mobile & if she doesn’t get an answer, she’ll call the house, then my mobile, then the house, then my mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile.

During my last therapy session, August of last year, I was somewhat delighted to have her try to contact me, just so I could show my therapist exactly what I have to deal with.

Thirty missed calls & that was on my cell alone.

It’s fucking rich to have her hounding me on the phone whilst she’s sat sunning her ass. Never mind that I was up at 6am this morning to go work. So yeah, she may well have phoned me 8 times but I was working & actually, I only recieved two notifications that she had phoned.

Besides, surely if you’re psycho-phoning someone, you’d at least have the ability to leave a fucking voicemail?? Something she evidently doesn’t think is necessary.

Ah, how I read her little black book of notes about me & my attitude & my

“Wasn’t wearing any make-up & looked drab.”

What, because I don’t dye my hair blond & put makeup on with a trowel?

So not only does she think those things about her own daughter, says those things out right to her face but she also writes it all down. I must really have looked like shit that day I tell you.

Anyway, moan over.

I’m tired, my feet are sore & I have to be up at 6 in the morning so it’s off to bed with me.

  1. I don’t think i’ll try to beat you on the Unhinged Mother Awards, but can i come in 2nd with this amusing fact? My Mother signed up to facebook in order to check and see if I’m online, and message me with questions as to why I have not responded to her emails/texts/phone calls.
    BTW She is also sunning herself in Portugal. Although on a somewhat more long term basis.
    Modern technology should have some form of entrance paper before handed over to people with stalker mentalities…

  2. Chin up girl…..not long before you’re back home and with Bear!

    Working those long hours should keep you preoccupied

  3. Hey you… I hope the other night you were successful in not SI..I know it is an up-hill battle, but what I can tell you is that there is light at the end of the tunnel. No doubt my issues are still alive and kicking, but what I can honestly say, is it gets easier. I don’t fell crazy 100% of the time any more, just about 30%. :) And usually at night. I can also honestly say that it is still hard to not cut. And that I owe most of my success to my husband. It has been 9 months now, and for that I am thankful. The more time that goes by, the more I feel like I can’t “break my record”.
    As always, huge hugs,
    Zoe

  4. Lol! She sounds like a right pain in the ass. I hate when people call over and over again. Two times is understandable but if you don’t get in touch with me on the second time then either be smart enough to realize that i’ll call you back when i’m available or leave a message. If somebody called me that many times I think i’d be tempted to ‘always’ purposefully ignore their calls. :P

    I hope you’ve been doing…okay ;-)

  5. I hope you’ve been doing…okay ;-)

    ahh what a shite comment after going back and reading the posts i’ve missed. Rather, I hope you are able to work through this is the least painful way possible.

  6. What a coincidence that I publish your comment Keeley & my mother rings me! At 11 o’clock at night no less. Now that I’m getting up for work at 6am every morning, had I gone to sleep early like I have been doing, that bitch would have fucking woke me up!

    I’d put money on her being wasted.

    And no, I didn’t answer – for her sake.

    On that note, I’m going to try to get to sleep now, it’s been a long, hard day…
