Last night, I was so sick it felt like 'the end' was near. Seriously, dudes. It wasn't funny. My throat hurt, my eyes were burning and of course a fever. Sleep consisted of me turning and turning in bed all night long.
At some point, mum and dad called. After telling them I was going to bed at 10pm, I bid a hasty good bye.
11 am - this morning, dad called. Mum was on her way over. On the ferry! Ughhh, I was ready to scream.
While I love mum and dad lots, encouraging her to constantly worry about me is not something I do. So despite her saying that she would take the bus, I had to tear myself outta bed this morning and drive an hour and a half to the ferries to pick her up! Then we had to go grocery shopping coz my frige was empty.
All the while I was being a snappy first class bitch. This is of course knowing that I could instead be in bed getting some rest.
While getting grocey, I was feeling like shit and was ready to fall into bed right away. MUM WENT TO SIGNUP FOR SOME STUPID CARD TO COLLECT POINTS OF SORTS!!! She then proceeded to taste the free samples around the grocery story. Does this woman not understand that I was dying??
They say that you'll never understand until you're yourself a parent. The constant worrying. And if you're unlucky enough to have girls, it's even worse. Confession - whenever we live in the same city, mum always waits up for me before she goes to bed. This is met by my bitching at her about worrying too much.
Funny how some people feel bad about making their mums wait for them. Personally, I have told her many, many times to not wait for me but she always does. Well, if she's not gonna listen to me then so be it. I'm not gonna come home early. It will only encourage her. Hopefully if this happens often enough, she will get used to the idea of going to bed before I come home. So far though, no luck.
So dear friends, could you imagine my irritation when she decided to come by unannounced? I know, I know. She did it out of love and all...but...ugghhhh!!!
