And it feels good.
Today my Bf's mum rang and asked me if this weekend was "our girlie weekend." I said "No I am afraid not I have so much work to do but I will ring you and arrange to meet you when I can."
Mum: but you are a student you don't know what work is honey.
Me: I am learning I have a ton and a half of stuff to get through and no time at all. Deadlines are on top of me. I really can't see you this weekend.
Mum: You just don't want to be seen with an old woman!
Me: That is not true. I really do enjoy spending time with you but as far as I can see the next few weekends are just crammed with work, college and other commitments.
Mum:Fine whenever you want to be seen with me again ring me. Bye.
I am a little hurt by her actions but she is a strange fish. I said no and I feel good. I am not going to let her sulk upset me into canceling plans. BF is proud of me to. He asked was I trying out saying no in front of the mirror!

She is when she does not get her way when she does she is all sweetness and light and treats me very well. I do like her. I don't like her sulks!

On a Sunday morning the whole crowd assembled,
I've done some things that I'm not too proud of...
I've never left you, a deaf ear for longing.
Some hearts are gallows, I'm not here for hangin' around.

It annoys me to no end when people thing that students don't have work. I know what I do and I know what undergrads do because I'm partly responsible for assigning that work!  It just smacks of anti-intellectualism. |

I work, have a child, and am studying for my bachelors. That's probably all one big vaca according to your mom, right? Good for you for growing that lovely spine!
