So I'm 17 as of November 17th
Let me tell you it feels GREAT!
My mother, my boyfriend, and I went to Busch Gardens for the day. My mother and I rode roller coasters and we all had great time! Tommy and I even got a caracature (sp??) done for my birthday

On the bad side, the rest of life in general is sort of turning upside down. It's been my grandmother vs. my mom for quite a while now. Theres a looong past story with it but I would rather not take that long to type >.<;. So the last straw was this week. We were all sitting, eating dinner. (That in itself is new to us...eating dinner alltogether, hah!) When it got onto the subject of my boyfriend, Tommy.

Now..my mother and I have nice conversations usually. No yelling, no judging. I'm very thankfull for that. But when my grandmother gets into the mix...shit goes downhill. She had the bright idea to jump in the conversation and try to turn it around. It went something like this:

Grandmother: "So, how old is Tommy, now?"
Me: "Hes turning 18 in January -smilesmilesmile-"
Grandmother: -insert disgusted face and dramatic noise here-
Me: -getting mad- "Why does that matter?"
Grandmother: -more faces-
Me: -mad- "Your older...I dont see why someone being 18 matters to a hag."
Grandmother: -now appauled- "You better respect blahblahblah (she went on for a while)"
Mother: -gets annoyed- "Well what is it you meant then?! All you did was ask how old he was and make ugly faces when she tried to answer you!"
Grandmother: "Well she doesnt respect (more speach crap about how horrible both my mother and I are to her)"
Mother: "Well you can say whatever you want but then when someone stands up to you its dissrespect?!"
Me: -sitting there...jaw dropped...watching them go at it-

In the end it resulted in

Mother: "Just get out then...maybe you shouldnt want untill February to move. Just pack your shit and go"
Grandmother: "fine"

So she left. Theres now and empty room next to mine.
As much as I know I shouldnt be happy about it...im THRILLED!
Usually when my mom and I faught it was because of her.
She was so two-faced.
Now my mother and I can start fresh and actually LIVE LIFE!
