Something funny!

Something funny just happened. We are getting ready to move to a house in Franklin. My mom has been saying for a while that she plans to move to Logan. In fact she has said that she really likes our apartment and would like to live there. So she said when we move out, she could move up here and move in. Well the last couple times I have talked to her about it, she still says that she plans to move, but won’t give me a time frame, not even a month or time of year. She just says she can’t afford to move right now, and tries to get me to put off moving so she won’t lose the apartment. I think she doesn’t want to move. I think she would rather stay in Texas to be around her redneck hick white trash friends, than move to Utah and be closer to her Family. Don’t mistake this as bitterness, I would say it is more frustration. True it does bother me that she would rather live there than here, that her friends are more important to her than her family. But it bothers me more that she won’t just be honest about it. That she says she plans to move but won’t do anything to make it happen.
Anyway, we have decided that we would like to be moved by about the first to middle of December. That means that we need to give our landlord our 30 day notice soon. So for the last 2 ½ weeks I have been trying to get a hold of my mom by phone with no luck. I have left messages with my little brother, and on her answering machine. Nothing. So this morning I sent her an e-mail. I was not nice. I don’t think I was mean, but I definitely was not nice. I basically said I figure she must be avoiding me because despite constant effort and many messages, I can still not get a hold of her and she doesn’t return my calls. Then I just told her we need to figure out when she is moving so we know what to do with the apartment. The funny thing that happened is, about 10 or 15 minutes after I sent the e-mail I got a call from my mom. I was not able to take it as I am at work. She left a message which I have not listened to yet. I love my mom, and don’t want to offend her. But if that is what it takes to get her to talk to me…I just wish she would be honest about things, and not just avoid the issue.
