I feel like all i am is mad lately, but oh well ...
Today is Father's Day. And altho I have THREE different "dads" (mark = step, Bob = raised me, Rick= biological) I really don't have anyone that i can "celebrate" on this day. So i was kind of excited when I got a phone call from my mom today at noon saying that she was going up to the cemetary to "visit" her brother (my Uncle Joe) with Papa and then he wanted to maybe go see a movie and maybe have a barbeque today at her house. I didn't actually call her back until 2pm and left a message. It is now *looks at clock* 8:30PM and she JUST now called me back. She spent all day hanging out with Papa, which is good since he is her dad and all, ... OH ... And Angie. yeah, that's right. Angie. Apparently they all went to the cemetary together and then just spent the whole day hanging out just the 3 of them. At my mom's, then at my Papa's, then Angie decides "hey! let's go to the park!" so they go. Then Arcie called on my mom's phone so they chatted. They had dinner at my Papa's too. He wanted to go see a movie tonight but he got caught up showing Angie some old tapes of her and Bob and Joe as kids so they missed the show they planned on going to and the next showing wasn't until 9pm. My mom said it was too late for her to go to, so she left, went home and suddenly decided to call me. GEEZ! I mean, it's nice to know that i'm such an afterthought. We waited all day for her to call us. I had no clue where she was, and she wasn't answering her phone at all today. I mean, come on. I called her at TWO PM!!! and then re-called her at 7:30pm ... and she just freaking called me back. I told her that i was hurt and said good-bye and hung up. Especially since she hung out with Angie. yeah. nice.
And i have to watch myself with Kevin cuz I'm so mad I'm lashing out at him ... altho he IS watching this stupid program "Walking with Cavemen" on Discovery Channel. It's nothing but conjecture that's being passed off as some kind of fact and learning tool, narrated by Alec Baldwin. whoop-dee-friggin-doo. I mean seriously, they talked all about "Lucy" and her family and they're daily routine...they have no clue. They didn't leave records. I know they have pieced things together with all the stuff they've found, kind of an archaeological forensics thing, but it's just silly some of the things.
I'm just angry right now. No ... not angry ... hurt. I mean, she called earlier today and invited us to basically ahng out. I was looking forward to that. So was Kevin actually. And instead i get basically tossed aside. I'm not begrudging her the time she spent with ehr father. I mean, it IS Father's Day, and i even understand that Angie was there, so maybe she thought I might have felt uncomfortable. But she should have at least called me back when i called earlier to let me know what was going on. You know what i mean??
