Best Mom in the world

I had to force myself yesterday to stay absolutely nonchalant, I didn't want to be sad or happy so I just decided on neutrality....Unfortunately my mom made it ever-so-hard not to be depressed on this day of significance...

There'd been a cricket trapped somewhere in the garage and yesterday I'd tried to save it, but to no avail as it was trapped beneath a bunch of old boards wedged behind a refrigerator. The next day I was getting into the car my mom commented saying, "I think that crickets dead, if you'd saved it yesterday......it lasted maybe what...10 days?" As if I didn't feel bad enough.

Today we'd discovered that we accidentally forgot to but this dress that seemed made for me which was colored black. I had been dreaming of wearing that dress today. My mother is also wearing black. She tried to get me to switch clothes because apparently we'd clash. I'd answered that I doubt anyone would really care. She answered, "Nope.....no now I have to change." I'd already felt bad after I'd been accused of leaving the dress at the store. The worst part is, I know when she goes to pick up that dress, she'll tell the store clerks of how she loves the dress she has on, but has to change it because of me.

She does this all the time, its just been more so lately because her other child is away at college and I've been stuck here T-----T
