Uugh

I can't help that I just naturally make my mom mad! I just sometimes thinks it's weird that she's making these friends and hanging out with people who are MY AGE. Going back to school for your masters is great and all, but I just feel like when she's with her 'college friends' she's totally this person I don't know. It just seems fake to me or something. I know she's not, it's just like, "Am I the only one who would think it's kind of weird to hang out socially with someone who's twice my age?"

What happened was I called mom to let her know I'm coming home on Wednesday for break, and that we should go see 'The Help' at the dollar theater. I suggested for that Wednesday night, and she said she's going over to a friend's house to watch a movie, so I just questioned, "Why??" I think it might have sounded harsher than I intended, but I think I just was legitimately confused! So then she was just like, "GOSH why do y'all do that?!" (meaning me and my sister, I think) and went on this little rant about it.

Ok, WHY do I think it's kind of weird? I just don't like seeing my mom trying to act my age with people who are my age. It's weird. If she's such this great friend or person or whatever to hang out with, with other college people who are my age, then why don't I get to see that? Why is it the mom I always see is busy up in the study working on some paper or project or is just too busy in general to have any fun. Or if she is spending time with us, it's with some laptop or iPhone project open on the side.

I think I'm just starting to worry about the break a bit. I don't want there to be family drama at all, which would be a really odd thing to happen. Maybe I need to work on my own tactics for this (don't be negative, let things go, just do what you're asked and don't question it). I'm looking forward to being home, I just don't want to screw it up.
