Mother's Day, With Appropriate Ranting
Okay, so Mother's Day was pretty good, overall.
I managed to not die in D&D (and to actually kill things - w00t!!!). I got some free time in the morning since Tori was with Robbie, and then I played D&D, and then I went out for dinner with Mom and the boys and Tori.
We went to the Golden Wok. Tori was a brat. She hadn't taken a nap, and she started screaming over something (I'm still not 100% sure what happened that set her off) and wanted nothing to do with me, she just wanted Nama. So Mom finally got back to the table and proceeded to give Tori Jello, fruit, and ice-cream. Frustrating as hell, that.
Then we went back to Mom's to play cards. Ben called Jerry and went to his house, so it was me, Mom, Steven, and Tori. Tori refused to go watch her movie, after asking us to put it on. We decided to play Casino. Ben played a hand for Mom and was a total ass about it. Then Mom played the rest of the game out.
We started a second game, and Sidney Carlin called at the end of the second hand. That was at 9 pm. She spent 45 minutes on the phone before I got Tori mostly together and left.
I just get so frustrated. I feel as if I'm on the bottom of Mom's priority list, regardless of what she says. She keeps saying how important I am to her, but it doesn't always (or often) seem that way. The old adage "Actions speak louder than words" is very applicable.
And now, a random quiz...

Here's some advice from someone who admits he has no idea what it's like to be in your shoes:
I think you should approach your mother about this directly, but with utmost awareness about her feelings at the same time. She's doing something that bothers you, and she doesn't realize it. She's coping with death and missing someone, and so are you, but in different ways, and there is room for some honest, gentle communication between you two on the subject.
Just my $0.02.

P.S. Don't forget this blog is public, and while I admire your willingness to open up like this, I have learned from previous experience that relationships can be destroyed by what you say here. I'm just saying be careful.
