All in a Matter of Time

I could almost be mad at my mom, but I won't let myself. In all honesty I just am not in a "people" mood these days. Everyone is irritating me. It is probably because we have so much to do this month and the burden of it is on myself. I am in a "pity-me" mood. But back to my mother...(I am so glad they don't own a computer, otherwise I'd have to monitor what I wrote!)
Seamus had a hockey practise this morning. Yesterday they were in Terrace to stop in "quick" at Canadian Tire and pop in to our house for their 2 minute and 30 second visit. I told them about Shay's practise and what time it was. (10:15 am)
This morning at 7:32 am the phone rang and Scott rolled over and said, "who the heck is phoning at this time in the morning?" He looked over at the Caller Id and said, "we'll let it ring through it's just your mom and dad!" I didn't argue and we went back to sleep. At 8:14 am the phone rang again. This time for one ring. My parent's don't do intentional one ringers. When they do a one ringer(which is often) it usually means that my dad has sat on the phone. Seriously...so if I phone them back my dad will bellow into the phone, "I DIDN'T CALL YOU!" and even if I try to explain it becomes quite the hassle. Needless to say we didn't phone back.
At 9:30 am the phone rang again and this time I answered. I told my mom what time the practise was (10:15 am) and told them I'd meet them at the arena. (They were already on their way into Terrace)
When I arrived at the arena I had to gear Shay up. I sent him on the ice and spotted my parents. I waved to my dad, (he didn't give me the finger!) and he just gave me a blank stare. I walked behind them and interrupted a conversation about me!
"She didn't answer the phone and I phoned at 8!" said my dad sternly.
"Yeah it was more like 7:30 and we were trying to sleep!" I responded.
"OH...your mom was wondering why you weren't here yet?" my dad answered a little bit embarassed.
"I'm right on time!" I replied back.
We watched the practise and my parents took Shay out for lunch. I went and got groceries and came home. When I got home I noticed that my cell phone was beeping which means there is a voice mail. I listened to my voice mail and this was the message I received (from my mom):
"It's 10 after 10. Bye!"click...
Geez I didn't know that I asked to have the time told to me!! I was angry and when my mom and dad came to drop Shay off I asked what was with the message mom left me.
"Wasn't sure if you knew what time it was!" my mom answered.
That's my parents for me. I guess I feel like they really underestimate their own daughter. Last I knew I owned my own watch.
Oh well!
Besides that nothing else is newsworthy. Josey had his practise tonight and he did very well. I must go now and start with my next two chapters in Biology.
Enjoy your evening!
