A Long Way To Go

The other day I realized that I do not give myself NEARLY enough credit. I did something nice by picking up some hard cider for Ben, and I was all excited, like GO ME! I remembered which one and everything. But, I picked the wrong one. There are two, and I can't ever seem to remember which one is the one he likes better. So I was like...awww. But you know what? Once upon a time, I would have totally kicked myself for that for about....two weeks. Seriously. I give myself a whole raft of shit when I disappoint myself. But I've gotten better.

My mom said that she (my mom) had kicked him out when he said he was in love with another woman. But that he would stay with her, if she let him stay with this woman for half the week. WTF? Who would ever agree to that? I have a sneaking suspicion my mom woulda, if it had come to that. Instead, they went out drinking.....this was bad because they are BO...
