Mom
My mother is insane.
I love her, but...she's insane.
It's almost midnight here, which means it's almost 3am in Connecticut. I'm up, anyway, but she should be sleeping. Instead, she just called to tell me that I should do one of those "speed dating thingies." Apparently, there was a segment on some reality show about speed dating and she's convinced that's the answer to my problems. Why couldn't she wait until morning to tell me this? Because she didn't want to forget and she wants me to be happy. How do I tell her that my being happy has nothing to do with trying to sell myself to a potential date in two minutes, or whatever it is?
At least she didn't tell me, for the hundredth time, that she saw Peter and he's looking good and we were such a cute couple.
I love my mother. I love her very much. She's always supported me, always been there for me, and I shudder to think what my life would have been like growing up without her.
But, bless her heart, I don't think she's going to be convinced I'm all right until I tell her I'm seeing someone. I suppose I could lie, but then that entails keeping all my lies straight and I'd rather not deal with the hassle.
Or... Maybe I should talk to Peter about setting my mom up with someone. I bet if she had someone else to focus on, she'd stop worrying so much about me.
It's worth a try.
And maybe she's not so much insane as she is enthusiastic. Any man would be lucky to have her. As long as Peter and I both approve of him, he treats her like a lady, and he never hurts her.
Hmm, it's a little after 3am over there. I wonder if Peter would mind if I woke him up to discuss this...
