The only thing I have to stress or worry or be unhappy about right now is my mother. Everything else is going wonderfully. I'm seeing my friends regularly which has been so much fun. I've been seeing my boyfriend 3 or 4 times a week despite our busy schedual's and he's been such a delight every time I've seen him. My job is going really well :) I'm working hard bringing in the money I need and having fun while I'm there. I've been able to get along with everyone at work... except this one guy who really gave me the creeps and even though I told him I'm in a comitted relationship continued to press me to hang out with him alone sometime. I was soooooooooo relieved when he randomly quit. He's a racist stoner who is not my type at all. 

I'm also really excited about my trip to Scarby and Four winds :) So far its just me and my friends Rick and Nathan but I'm hoping to hear from the last two guests by the end of this week. The trip is in less then two weeks!!! I've got the whole trip planned out, including my outfits. 

Well I'm off to try and sleep a bit... I haven't been able to sleep much lately. Well I can sleep but I can't sleep until way late at night because work or not this is how late I stay up everynight. 

So... I'm finally having thoughts of taking a frying pan to my mothers head. Doesn't that sound lovely? The last few days she has been acting so very childish its not even funny or cute. ALl my life she has treated me and my little brother as servants. Fetching her things and doing things for her every few mins. The last years of my life I have refused to do more and more not because the task are outragious ("Can you get me a soda since you're down there?") its the way she acts if you don't hop to immidiately. She screams and whines and yells and acts like a spoiled two year old who has just been told she can't have anymore ice cream. Here is an example of one of the things she does that I can't stand. 

Everyday she comes home and goes through the kitchen goes to the laundry room to change into some more comfortable clothes goes back through the kitchen goes all the way upstairs and tells me to do a load of launry and make her something to eat. Does it seem odd to anyone else that a 45 year old women can't do a load of laundry when she's in the laundry room, and make herself something to eat on one of her trips through the kitchen?

Today she came home and while still in the kitchen asked me to make her some food. I asked her very calmly to make her own food since she was standing in the middle of the kitchen and she said that she didn't want to be around me if I was going to be a bitch all the time.

I left the house and I think I'll be moving into my grandparents house here in the next couple of days. I am to old to still be having stupid childish fights with my mother. She might not have outgrown that phase but I have. 

Well... I went from doing nothing but planning a wee little road trip and working sometimes to slowly build up the money to go, to being invited to go take scuba diving lessons (I'm already certifed but its been so long since I last dove I'm in dire need of a refresher course), realizing that the lessons will cost money, realizing I'm going to have to work my ass off to get the money I need for the trips, and for the lessons because I had to pay $1000 in bills for my parents because they've kind of fallen on hard times again, AND finishing the planning for the trip. I also have to baby sit my baby cousin on Friday.

The next 5 weeks of my life will be more hectic then I imagined they would be. I'll be working ever opportunity I can get. I will be taking the scuba lessons next week. I'll be getting my car fixed up so it doesnt die on the trip. I'll be shopping for supplies for the trip (snacks, a tent, etc). I'll be sleeping very rarely. Trying to learn how the hell scuba diving is done (for the second time). I'll be eating a little less and drinking a little more coffe then I usually care to have. I'll be trypying up everything I do and monitering my finanses and plans so I don't completely bonkers with so many things running through my head. On top of it all I will be trying to see my boyfriend when ever I have the time. 

Brandon and I have suddenly both been thrown in to chaos and have been seeing each other alot less then we usually do. 

So in conclusion I have these things on the brain: Money, Shopping, Eating, Sleeping, Working, Brandon, Baby sitting, Scuba Diving, Renaissance Road Tripping, and Car Repairs. There aren't enough hours in the freeking day...

Well its been a week since I last posted... I supose I should update you all on my very repetitive life. I've been working hard at Holister folding clothes all the time and I'm still loving that job. I've been informed by the people who have been working there for a long time that they all loved the job at first to. I suppose if I were to stay there for as long as they have I would be bored out of my mind to but.... Meh. Its a job! :)

The entire road tip to Fours Winds and Scarborough Renaissance Festivals is planned. We decided to go to Four Winds first because Scaby doesnt have camping on the festival grounds. I made a newsletter invitation for all the people I invited to go on the trip with me :) I detailed the route we are taking, how much money everyone will need to have, and what everyone should bring. 

I'm so unbelievably excited about this trip. I've never gone to another faire other then TRF, I've never been to two fairs in one weekendm and I've never been on a real load trip! This is going to be so much fun!!!!

I'm so excited about out trip to Scarby and Four Winds. You all have no idea! I'm going to the store today and getting a map of texas roads so I can plot out our course. I know the directions from Houston to Scarby, Houston to Four Winds, and the route between them. Because I haven't mapped out the routes, we don't know which faire we will be going to first. Some of my coworkers from Holister want to go on the trip to... i wanted this to be a friends only thing but they said they would go in Mike's truck so they would be out of our hair and will have plenty of extra room for our garb in the bed of there truck. :) 

Anyways, I've been working my but off to save up money for the trip, for my garb, for the camera I want to buy, for Pleo, and for my savings account funds to stop being used. I love my job the people are great, and I get paid a decent amount of money to stay up late and fold clothes. Its a great way to earn money and does very little to my social life, and health. I am having troubles with sleeping but... I've always had trouble with sleeping so its nothing new.

My boyfriend Brandon still wants to take a job in the chemical plant but until he gets that job he has decided to work at Target. I'm much happier with this job because when I'm asleep he's working, when I'm working he's asleep, leaving us to be awake and off of work at the same time everyday. :) I like it a lot. 

In other news: My cousin is going to have another baby!!! Her little Girl Avery just turned one last october and her new baby will be due in September and the whole family could not be more thrilled. We love babies in this family and its been so long sing we had any. Before avery was born the last baby was my Cousin Madison and she's ten. I've decided that I want to take Avery to a renaissance festival when she turns three. I might change my mind between now and TRF but I'm on the fence about auditioning for the acting troupe so... I might not take her if I'm working... common sense. Maybe I'll take her to Scarby of next year. :)

I just want an excuse to be the cool "Aunt" who dresses Avery up in cute child's garb and takes her to a place where fairy's live.
