Today Mom worked all day but I think she was scared of getting behind here at the house because she left me a list to do as long as my right arm... It started with Laundry, both folding and putting away. Then I moved on to straightening up the living room and cleaning my desk. I put away the dishes, hauled off two old junk rugs not to mention moving the stuff back out to the barn that Mom used to try and save the baby chick yesterday. All that while trying to fit in roping the dumbie and practice for tomorrow.
When Mom got home we had to pack the truck and that is were things got interesting... You see we have this neighbor who has a few sons that are about my Sister's age. Well, those sons like to drive like the Dukes of Hazard and today they did it in front of me and mom while we packed the truck. Well, Mom jumped in the truck followed the car to the neighbor's house and told the Step-father all about how this step son had just drove by our house and burned rubber and threw rocks and peeled out in front of her and me. Then the guys girlfriend tried to get lippy with Mom and Mom told her off because she looked over in the car and got even madder when she saw both of their Babies (both under the age of 4) strapped into their car seats in the back seat. Mom not only told them that driving that way would get Someone killed but maybe even those two babies. Then she told them Not only that but is just isn't neighborly to drive like that around other people's homes and since they weren't going to drive in a neighborly fashion, she wasn't going to be neighborly enough NOT to Call the cops if it ever happened again... Then right in front of them she took down the car's tag number and told them it was for future reference ...
Okay at this point in my life I have to admit ... I am kind of embarrassed at my Mom's behavior in this matter but it was kind of cool too. I know there are alot of people that will tell me she did what was right, what needed to be done, but I am 15 and I know those people. Why couldn't she do stuff like that to people I don't know and don't ever have a chance of seeing around again? I know, I know. If it was a stranger she wouldn't care because she would know she wouldn't have to deal with them all the time. I know she did it because they drive around our home all the time and she loves me and the critters that live here to much to let someone go driving like that around here everyday. BUT ... I will say it again ... I am 15 and it is embarrassing ... I don't think I have ever seen Mom that mad in my life. I do have to say she was kind of funny. If you get her that mad, the Northern comes out in her. She went to talking 90 miles a minute very loudly and didn't let anyone say a word and it all came complete with HUGE hand gestures .... She left both the Dad and Girlfriend standing there dumbfounded and speechless...
