Pushy Moms, and the sons who love them!!!

Yoli here, totally pizzed off!
Quite some time ago I "spoke" of a woman in our church's congregation that was pretty blatant about pimping her son off on me. I mentioned that I had no ill feelings toward him 'cause he seems like a nice guy who can't seem to break free of Mommy.
Well, I THOUGHT I'd sidestepped the issue but...SHEEEEEEE'S BAAA-AAAAACK!
Some members of the choir (including your little songbird...Meee!) had planned to have lunch together, with a few non-choir types included, at a very nice restaurant after services had concluded. Our popular pastor and his wife were in the mix as well and we'd reserved a small banquet room.
Before services began, as the choir was "suiting up" in the choir room, one of the ladies told me that The Mother From Pushyville had arranged to see that I was seated next to her darling offspring at the gathering. "So." she said. "I guess you've taken a second look at the guy and might give him a chance."
I was stunned! I didn't even know that bitch and her kid would be attending.
I managed to get through the services, singing my part well enough, considering that at one point I nearly choked when I locked eyes with Mommy Dearest and she smiled and pointed at her beloved boy, then winked!
So, just as the pastor was giving the Benediction, I slipped down off the risers and ducked out of sight. I dashed to the choir room, hung my robe, snatched my purse from my locker (Yes, we have individual lockers.) and exited the scene, even taking off my heels so I could make a silent run to the exit, thence to my car (Well, not MY car, exactly. Remember that Mangusta I'm car-sitting? Well, it needs to be driven, right?)
Later, I'm perched on a stool at a nice sports bar, morosely contemplating the usual bar food selection and sipping a Bloody Mary (just one when I'm driving that beast,) when my cell rings. It's one of the church ladies asking if I'd gotten lost on the way to the restaurant. "NO!" I replied, and then I heard the Devil Mom, in the background, say "Where IS that girl? Let me talk to her!" That's when I shut the phone off.
I paid my tab, tipped, and stalked to the car. I was so pissed I put the top down even though it's in the low 50s(F) here. I hit a drive-thru on the way home, and here I sit, nibbling so-so tacos and swilling Diet Pepsi. Big whoop!
There's more food here and in the Big House than an army could eat in a week but I didn't even have the drive to spread peanut butter.
I think it's time I had a sit-down with the pastor about this crap. I thought the problem had gone away, since there'd been no "activity" for a long time, but I guess she's decided to take another run at me in behalf of her son.
I hope I can find a way to put a stop to it without hurting the poor guy's feelings. It's not his fault in any way. His mother is his worst enemy. Sorta like Barry T. Eunuch's mother, only I HOPE this bitch isn't after HER son's balls.
Give us, this day, our daily rant. Amen

Angry!
