Confessions..........

I am again here to confess the fact I lack the ability to think before I speak again. God help me!! After I finished my post this morning and was wandering around the house attempting to convince myself to get busy cleaning the phone rang. Looking down at caller ID I see it is my mom which causes a small sigh but I take my chances and answer it. After listening to her chatter on about a bit of this and a bit of that she finally gets around to asking if I want to go to the grocery store and Wally world with her. YIKES ( please note that kind of trip can be a all day affair) I explained to her no I best stay home and get some house work done. Since my mom has a hard time excepting no she ask two more times before telling me she is hanging up now since I am so crabby. Yippee the call has only last 19 minutes and I think I am off the hook. About ten minutes later again the phone rings and again I sigh but answer another call from mom. First mistake was not letting it go to voicemail! My mom proceeds to ask are you sure you don't want to go shopping. Are you saying no and being crabby because you don't really have the money and you just don't want to tell me ? You know I will pay if you need me too. I explain in a calm voice no mom the money is not the issue causing me to be crabby. Once again she doesn't really hear me and she states "well you wouldn't be honest with me if that was the reason anyway, you never feel like you can share with me." And here is the part where I should have thought before I spoke but no my mom had struck a nerve with the whole I am not really honest with her statement. So, before I could stop myself I blurt out - Mom if you want the honest reason why I am crabby is because I haven't gotten any in weeks cause the hubby is depressed about being laid off and it is to dang cold in this house to take a cold shower. And furthermore I am out of double A batteries. Omg, I couldn't believe I just said that out loud and to my mother! A silence came over the phone after that for about a minute before she says to me " well I guess I can't really help out with that. And then she says what do you need batteries for?" Instead of answering that question I am going to pick my mom up in ten minutes to go shopping.............
