I've been topped...

So, last week I wrote about my crazy week and titled it "top this"...not really expecting anyone to try, but my mother managed to top my whole week with one of her crazy days. And the story goes...

My mother's ex-boss, let's just call her "evil Betty", issued out a warrant for my mom's arrest last Thursday. When my mom left her job Betty (who is a paranoid delusional) accused my mom of stealing some of her computer disks. She followed my mom out to her car and demanded that she open her gym bag and cooler to show her what was in them...can we say private property? Anyhow, Betty has accused my mom of "breach of trust with the intent to defraud". I guess my mom supposedly is going back to school to become a real estate agent so she can therefore use some bootlegged copy of a software system of a shriveled old hag whose reputation is less than stellar in the community...yeah, right.

So, on Monday my mom dutifully turned herself in at the police station at 10am. From there they took her IN HANDCUFFS to the jail where they made her change into an orange prison jumpsuit and sat her on a bench to wait for her bond hearing that was scheduled for 3pm. She was offered what she said "resembled food" but didn't accept it. At 4pm she was notified that the "victim" had been contacted. My mother was very confused as she said, "are you talking about the woman who put out the warrant for my arrest?" (since my mom is actually the victim). The woman said yes, and that Betty had requested/demanded to be at the bond hearing, but CONVENIENTLY couldn't make it until the next day! My mom naively says, " does this mean that I go home now and come back tomorrow morning?" (she's so cute). No, that ass bag made my mom spend the night in jail. At least she ended up in the "penthouse" which is a single cell.

So, there my mom is, sitting in her single cell, in an orange jumpsuit, on her cot. There is something SO wrong with this picture. Oh, did I mention that this woman has done this to three other women who have worked for her? Yep, that's right...and she's lost every case. The next morning my mom goes to her bond hearing and what do you think happened? BETTY DIDN'T SHOW UP! I knew she wouldn't. It is her way to twisting the system to make my mom spend the night in jail. Finally, my mom was released and returned home sounding very tired and weary. But, my mom always finds some way to turn things on a positive note...she made a new friend in jail...they exchanged e-mail addresses! Way to go mom, making contacts for Betty's demise! he he he

I'm just glad that she's home and safe. She does have a trial date set but is hoping that the charges will be dropped before it goes to trial. She has a great lawyer. Suffice it to say, everyone in my mom's life is pissed. Betty is always thinking that people are out to get her...what she doesn't realize is that now they really are...

If anyone else is outraged...please comment below...I will relay your condolences to my little convict! he he he...she sure trumped my week!
