The Contingency Plan

Friday, September 02, 2005

Over the past two days I've:

Sat in front of the TV, escaped into video games and consumed copious amounts of ice cream
Cried
Made Luc pity me so even though he works seven days a week, he's also been looking after Hugo, organising our meals, giving me drinks, tidying the house and consistently giving me reassurance on everything
Neglected to brush and floss. The lump has changed colour.
Smothered my active nine month old with a little too much affection (is there such a thing?) so he's subsequently cried, scratched, hit and then happily played by himself for hours
Thanked God for Baby Einstein DVDs and the Nickelodeon channel
Dialed the number of Mum's filthy rich fiance a thousand times. Contemplated all the horrid things I could say to ruin her perfect double life like, "she's only after your money and has children she won't tell you about". She doesn't know I have his number
Changed our routine so Hugo and I now sleep at midnight and wake at noon
Thought of reuniting with Dad to piss her off until realising I've experienced enough pain/drama
Discovered Mum's called everyone in her phone book to say I'm dead to her, that she's going to change her number and not tell me and because of me, extend her trip overseas indefinitely. Also found out she's changed actual events (lied) so she hasn't over-reacted, said anything heart-breakingly hurtful, was only trying to help me and Hugo and I swore at her to show gratitude
After this, decided to get my act together, clean up and move on

I agree wuth Kyra, your mother is being awful! Sounds like Luc is a keeper though.
