From Oxbow to Hell

It has been one interesting weekend. Yesterday was a lot of fun. I started the day off early at Old Navy for $1 flip-flops. Then after eating breakfast and getting ready for the [rest of the] day, I heading to Oxbow Park for their annual spring festival. It was so much fun to see all the animals, and it was free! There were wolves, coyotes, raptors, a cougar, a bobcat, turkeys, goats, river otters, and more. I even timed it out to see the female black bear get fed aka rummage around her enclosure searching for fruits and veggies. It was a great way to spend the day.

Today, on the other hand, has been the exact opposite. I'm used to Sundays not being the best day of the week, but today was extremely bad. Most of you know that my mom has mood issues. I don't know what was going on today, but it was one of the worst mental breakdowns in awhile. She seemed to be fine this morning, but early afternoon all hell broke lose when she was mowing the enclosed backyard. On Sundays, I pick up all the dog poop and bring the push mower down. My mom mows the lawn, and I haul the mower back up to the shed. Today, she wasn't even half-way done and the mower ran out of gas. According to my mom, my dad started laughing at her cuz she ran out of gas, so my mom threw a fit and was pissed off for the rest of the day. When in reality, he offered to go get gas, but she told him not to cuz she was done. So he didn't get gas, and I put the mower away. Since then, my mom has been yelling at everyone and complaining about no one ever helping her and just laughing at her and blah blah blah. I just want to scream at her to shut up, but it never does any good. She doesn't listen. She claims that she isn't complaining and that she is happy. If her yelling is her being happy, I don't have a clue what she is like when she's actually mad. Oh wait, she's never mad; she's always happy (according to her). I hate it so much! I went to college in the cities to get away from this, and I purposely worked over-time at the clinic to get away from this. Now that I have no school and no job, I am stuck in hell. Today was like high school all over again, except that I don't have a friend's house to run away to. And it was too dang hot and humid outside to take a walk or bike ride. I would have passed out 5 minutes into it. So hopefully today was a one-time thing. Maybe it will be all out of her system come tomorrow. Otherwise I am going to go crazy.
