tiamatladyGarh!
I've figured out one of my problems with my stupid family.
We're LOUD
Yesterday, while I was driving and talking to Chris, the noise level and activity level almost made me puke. It was just Too Much Input for me to assimilate. I had to drive, talk to Chris, listen to Chris, listen to his GF right next to him in a completely different conversation, and I'd pulled up to an intersection with traffic coming both ways, and someone in front of me turning across my line of traffic. I just LOST it. I got through the intersection, Chris changed rooms, and the noise/distraction level went down tenfold.
It just happened again, with my trying to get my dinner, put something away, my mother bitching, my mother picking something up, me trying to tell her about something, her bitching about the something, her day, my nephew, AND my nephew asking questions, badgering people and making noise, and I realized that I was on sensory overload. I can hear her STILL doing it. I wonder if she realizes what's going on. I can multitask, but Not Like That! I think that's why I'm dying for a vacation, I need the quiet. I loathe Sundays, since all the noise and shit returns to the house. After a mostly quiet, peaceful weekend, I get nothing but trouble and noise. Oh, and the inability to do ANYTHING I want to. I SO wanted to redo my hair tonight.
*sighs* Now here's an example. My nephew has tattled on his mother on something, I'm not going into. My mother is having a classic Hissy Fit. She's mad at My Sister (who is not here, she's, I'm assuming, and a "bahr" watching "da game") but she's yelling at my Nephew (who is seven mind you) and me (who has NOTHING to do with Anything)
Bleh.
Time to get the rest of my dinner, IF I can eat it, oddly enough I have no appetite right now.
