At My Mom's

I don't know what to do. I want to spend time with my mom but I'm going crazy up here. I have only been here for a couple days and I'm already going crazy. I'm sick of TV and that's all they do up here. Watch TV while playing games on their phones. I don't like to sit still for long (a couple hours max) and I can't just sit on the couch and watch whatever they are watching all day. I don't want to miss out on time with my mom, but I'm helping out in other ways, like doing the dishes or vacuuming or helping grocery shop, but that's just a couple minutes at a time (and they don't want me vacuuming while they are watching TV). I am in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road and it's really cold outside. I might brave the weather tomorrow and go for a long walk and see if that helps. I'm here for another week, so I have to find something I can do to alleviate the boredom. We are supposed to go see the Christmas lights in another town sometime, and I would like to do that. I'm thinking when my laptop battery gets low to go out with my mom and just read my Kindle while she watches TV, Right now I just need to decompress. Geo is not being a good listener, and I don't have a lot of friends to talk to, so this is my way of venting. I like being in my room here since it feels like my room at home. Well, my laptop battery is getting low, so I'm just going to post this and go out with my Kindle.

its hard to be somewhere your not used to and that includes the weather. i would definetly try and bundle up and walk, it helps me a lot. does your mom drive? if so, would she be willing to go out just the 2 of you, for lunch or window shopping, time to have a good talk. im sorry for not beinghere for u either, and i wish geo would be. i understand how you are feeling, i hope something changes for you. have a merry christmas hugssss

Hugs, my friend. When I went to visit my sister, it was the same thing. We did not go anywhere. She lives in a major city too. I went out on my own. I bought my knitting and books to read. It is not our home and we do not know what to do. My sister did not even want me to cook or clean. Take your mother out if she can go. Arrange something for the two of you. Merry Christmas and God Bless
