Thank you mom for adding to my stress when I have a important report that needs to be completed and she just got home from her boyfriend' house. It is so disappointing too because I want better but it is in her nature. I thought she would start bitching about how I was wasting electricity the moment she saw that my heater was plugged in. Nevermind me being cold, my feet hurting and not being able to concentrate on writing my report in these conditions. How thoughtless of me! And she wonders why I am so stressed and it is funny because when I was thinking about the genetic causes of anxiety for me my mom came to mind. How her being high strung would induse this in me and then she would be okay and calm and wonder why I am so stressed. I have one response to this. With me head cocked in her direction the following word came out of my open mouth. You!
