The Matriarch

ww went as i expected it to yesterday...i just had a heavy week...this week WILL be better...

after the meeting...we went to meet Dr. Matriarch for lunch...as we do almost every week. she's always obnoxiously early so when i pull up and i don't see her Caddy in the handicap spot (that she uses with her dead husband's handicap shield) i worry. i think...oh no she's fallen and she can't get up. or she's pulling another insurance fraud scheme. or she's taken off to vegas to buy a condo only to be heard from 4 times a year (in my dreams). but alas...it turns out that she just plain forgot about the boobah and me. so i sit there..and the hostess asks me where she is...because we go there weekly so the Doctah can order her broiled, chopped sirloin...done medium...hold the veggies - extra mashed potatoes and extra mushroom sauce on the side. oh and don't forget the bread...hot coffee with cream and water with lemon. (waitstaff hate her) so i call her and she says "im on my way back to the cape!" i say...ok..well im waiting for you at the restaurant! shes very apologetic but im still pissed. now i know everyone forgets stuff...and thats all fine and good. but my compassion for her has long since passed and i dont feel very forgiving.

the problem is that shes so narcistic that she can't possibly understand how much work it takes to get out of the house these days. and i dont mean to run up the street to cvs. i mean to get out of the house for hours at a time. so as i sit there in the entrance to the restaurant about to leave with boobah, the stroller, the food bag, the diaper bag, the portable highchair and me...i think...screw this...so i stayed and had a lovely lunch alone with my bubba. she says "i'll make it up to you" - translation...i'll buy you something so you'll know how much i love you...because in her head money=love.

well...duh! of course it does!! (good thing im not sarcastic) ;)
