She Loves Me...She Really Loves Me...

...I think. Just so you know, I have a terrible case of middle child syndrome. No one ever pays much attention to me nor wants anything to do with me. My own mother, especially. Whatever. Nonetheless, this week has been good to me. As my gift of giving and being so nice to my mom said she loved me. Now that means ALOT! I don't care if she says it sarcastically or jokingly. She said it damnit and quite honestly, that's all that counts. It all started on Saturday when I offered to pay for her stuff at Costco. She was very thankful. I then said to her, "See, I'm a good daughter, right?" "Yeah, sometimes..", she says. I then asked her under my breath, "Do you love me now, mom?" I'm not sure if she heard me or was purposely ignoring me because there was no response. Oh well. I just have to take what I can get right now. After I drove my mom to her favorite store in the whole wide world, TJ Maxx, I was a tad bit disappointed when she said "I love you, Ry..I mean, share-bare!". Oh my freakin' gosh! WTF! Everyone (Renee, Ryree, Eli, and I) in the car caught her slippin' and started laughing. Not laughing with me. It was more laughing at me! How rude! Do you see what I go through now??!! Don't you feel sorry for me? She can't even get my name straight. So, about an hour ago, the family and I concluded our Presidents Day shopping. I dropped off Ryree and Madre at the Haystack. Just as they were getting into their house, I remembered something, rolled down the window and yelled out: "Hey Mom! You still owe me $60!!" She looks at me, smiles, and says "I love you share-bare!" then slams her front door shut. Ummm....so wrong. As if! What now? What happened to love not costing a thing? Apparently now, for me at least, an 'I Love You' is currently priced at $60.00. Take it or leave it! She's so mean, right? No wonder I'm so f**ked up in the head. Ugh!!
