I really hope this is PMS.

I have been SO incredibly irritable...mostly with Jamie. And I think he is PMSing too b/c we were snapping at eachother all day yesterday. That sucks b/c yesterday was supposed to be "our" day.

I'm just so fed up with my living situation.

With the state of this house. It's always SO messy. A lot of it is from our dog, which we clean up, but a lot of it is just from Sharon. She really never does ANYTHING. And yesterday, Jamie and I were gone all day b/c we went to see Harry Potter (kick ass--even though they left a LOT out) and then to my Dad's for dinner. And we get home, and the house is totally destroyed. I mean, it looked like a tornado hit it. And Sharon is just sitting there on her arm chair. She would rather live among dog fecis and filth then clean up after a dog that isn't her's. So, by the time we got home, the mess was so big it took us a while to clean up. Who knows how long it was like that too. I don't know how she could stand it. It made me anxious being around it for 2 minutes let alone 8 hours. She could of picked up a little along the way. Oh I'm so frustrated.

And Jamie's mom is SO hard to live with. I HATE going downstairs b/c she makes me so uncomfortable. My room is a mess b/c I don't want to go down and do laundry and I don't want to go downstairs and take my dirty dishes to the sink.

I know I alway say she's crazy...but I'm really not exaggerating. I seriously think she is losing her mind. Like, she's going senile or something. Something. Because she's really crazy. Not even in an endearing way. In a very creepy way. Jamie and I have caught her looking at porn many many times. Thats pretty much a big chunk of what she does online. That and have cyber sex with random men she meets on her dating network. And Jamie has caught her rubbing her nipples to pictures of different men. Yeah, I know, everyone is intitled to their privacy, but her computer is smack dab in the middle of the room downstairs. Not very descreet. (or however you spell it). There has been two instances where Marci has walked in on her watching porn.

But that isn't the extent of her craziness. Even though she is 68 and has such an intense sex drive doesn't always constiture insanity. Here is a list of what I consider the slipping of her sanity;
1.)She has not one...but three different men that have told her to stop talking to them. One even threatened a restraining order. And what does she do? Well, the restraining order guy she drives past his house and leaves flowers at his work, for one. But she emails these guys seriously 4 or 5 times a day. All the same. "When can I see you?" "Why aren't you talking to me" And all other kinds of creepy stalker type emails.

2.)She asked Jamie to buy her a pregnancy test. She is 68 and had menopause 20 years ago, but she just wanted to "put her mind at ease." After Jamie refused, she went and bought one herself. Guess what. It was negative. Big surprise.

3.)She has given our address away to strange men online on three different occasions. These guys...who I believe are the same guy...first tell her that they love her...and she, of course, recipricates. And after they have her all worked up, they ask her if they can have some packages shipped to her house and get her address. And then, they ask her to open a bank account for them. You see, they are "in Africa" (all three..what a coincidence) so they can't do it themselves. And she does it! Thank GOD the bank wouldn't let her open an account for them or who knows what would have happened. But, how can you be so dim to not figure out that they are scamming you? If they can't even ship their own packages, obviously they are up to something fishy. But she doesn't see that. Today we got two packages for someone named Albert something....funny. The first guy's name was "Alex Albert". But no. She doesn't see that. Jamie is FURIOUS. I think we should contact the police.

4.)She thinks something is living under her bed. I'm serious. She made Jamie check the other day.

Besides all these facts, she's also obsessed with my Dad...which makes me really uncomfortable.

But, I should really stop bitching and give my daughter lunch.

She really can be very kind, though. So I feel bad when I gripe. It's just SO hard.
