You need to color so you can focus better.
Me: Its entirely too early on a Monday morning to already be this drunk mother.
Mom: I’ll have you know I am not drunk. It was on the news this morning they did a study with 6 year olds and determined that Sponge Bob made their brains tired. Think about how relaxed I am after coloring.
Me: I’m more concerned that you are comparing my brain to that of a 6 year old.
Mom: No you are missing the point. If it makes a 6yr old brain tired, it has to affect a grown up brain too. They just probably couldn’t get any grownups to take the test.
Me: They probably tried to find a group, but they were too busy coloring. I say we do our own study, but turn it into a drinking game. Every time Mr. Crabs says ‘SPONGE BOB!!’ we have to take a drink. When the show is over we have a coloring competition to see who can stay in the lines
Mom: you know I would win, I take pride in staying in the lines

Mum: You know, I can’t open one of the bottles. The cap turns and turns but won’t come off.
Me: Maybe you could make a little hole in it
Mum: What?! And drink it like a baby’s bottle??  I’m not quite that desperate, I’ll have you know.
Me: Ok, ok.
Mum: Nah, what we’re going to do is your dad’s going to hold onto one end, with a set of pliers, and I’ll use another set on the cap to unscrew it. And voila!
Me: Not desperate, huh?

While on this trip, she sends me a picture of all of them in a parking lot, looking like they’d been hitting the bottle for HOURS. I’m not sure what a Mother Shucker is but I’m pretty sure my mother shouldn’t be drinking them.

Mom: Drunk bitches in the parking lot after a few Mother Shuckers
Me: Wow, mom, really?
Mom: Did you notice the full moon?
Me: No i was distracted by the ‘drunk bitches’

I said, “I guess I’m just too old to go out on Sunday nights!”

Too old to go out on Sunday night?   Need 8+ hours of sleep? Exercise?  Eat Healthy?  WHERE IN GOD’S NAME DID I GET YOU??????????  HAHAHA

Thanks for the soup recipe K, It sound delicious!
This brings me to the next topic, Sunday dinner.
Lately it exhausts me to cook Sunday dinner, sooooo I have decided that it will become one pot Sunday dinner and everyone will take a turn.  We will have dinners that take only one or two pots to make, like spaghetti, redbeans, soup, stew, etc.  Put your recipe thinking caps on girls and get ready to cook. Next Sunday is J’s turn! K, you get dessert. I get the day off, however I will buy ingredients but you need to get me a list by Saturdays at noon. And I will have the booze. HAhaha
Happy searching
Love, Mom

Depression seems to run in my family. Both my mom and I have had bouts of it. I was a bit unhappy at the holidays and have managed to pull out of it. Your uncle sent your father a case of merlot, so that always helps me. Is it the job situation? I have ordered a honey baked ham to be sent to your apartment, so keep an eye out. That should help you feel better!

Keep trying to find a therapist.

Best regards,
Paula

When we woke up in Chicago, at S’s apt, on Sun, I noted that all of us still had our original clothes on. We DID shower and change before going out but oftentimes I do wonder why we bother packing other clothes for our weekends.
