Okay, so today I woke up relatively early and was told Mom had already mowed the lawn (which is actually my responsibility-- she just did it this morning because she felt like it or something), and someone had already taken care of the palm trees. This means that my special weekend responsibilities were already taken care of. This in mind, I headed to the laptop to play some Mabinogi. (yaaaaaay) I went out for a minute for whatever reason, and my aunt (who was vaccuuming) began to rant about how if I was her kid, I wouldn't see a computer for a looong time, how I'm on it into "the wee hours of the morning," and how terrible it was that she and Mom were doing all this work (Mom was showering at the time) while me and Mom's boyfriend sat around. I hadn't been told of any work that still had to be done, and Mom's boyfriend had already done the palm trees (and shouldn't be expected to do our work for us anyway). It was a few minutes later that I got the text from Mom (after her shower) with a list of things that I needed to do for the day (which was just the basic "clean room, change litter boxes, etc."). So my aunt decides to take off in a huff to my grandparents' house to get away from a house where two perfectly good men are sitting around while the women do all the work (because they felt like working; Mom was even taking over other people's responsibilities a day in advance). Then I go to change the litterbox. We have three things of litter: one bag and two jugs of cheap crap my aunt bought one time (it congeals with moisture). The bag was nearly empty, so I finished it off and then grabbed a jug. I began pouring aaaand... SPLOOSH. Someone had filled it halfway with -water.- I have a steady hand, so it didn't slosh around when I was carrying it-- I assumed it would be filled with kitty litter, like the other two things in that area. Guess who did that? Nnngnrhghghrgh so then me and Mom had a discussion about how our methods are very much less bitchy (essentially, she asks me politely, and usually in advance of when it needs to be done) and more effective (I've been known to ignore orders given to me in a bitchy manner, due to spite). So yeah, now we need more kitty litter 'cuz the last jug of cheap crap DID have litter in it, but only enough to give the bottom of the box a vague coating. |
