So I had exams recently, and I get so nervous that I barely gat any if some sleep.
My parents said its no big deal if you study hard, it doesnt matter how well you do. Well that helped me a little.
After the past 4 days of exams, the hardest was last(Who on the school board had that idea?)and I got 2 hours of sleep
Well I was able to bring a notecard 1 sided(3X5) to the exam accounting on how hard it is. Well a kid stole it because I could fit 7 lines of writing per line printed on the index card(AKA LOTS of facts on it) and I could bring a magnifying glass to read it. Well since it was stolen, I had to do a whole new one before the exam, and had 3 ful lines withut facts on them :'(
Well I get into the exam, and to top it ll off I had a headache-Very small a 1 on a scale to 10. It was just more annoying then anything. And I barley even used the notecard.
So I fell I bombed it terrible, and my mom isnt mad, or even yell at me. Its worse she is disappointed in me saying "You could have studied harder" and "Well you could have done more" and she knows all that happened, and my things not in my favor, but still acts like I could have done more. Hmmm when I was studying a MONTH in advance for this and she said not to worry. And when I was studying a week in advance she said the same thing.
Oh yea, forgot to mention we are getting new siding and windows on our house so there was banging on our house all day long(Not meant to be a perverted sentence) and she says thats no excuse. Plus the noise made it harder for me to study with the noise because I had ADD and wont get "Get me them drugs" aka ADDerol that helps focus.
My dad gets it, but she doesnt and will hang this over my head. Plus, this also gives me a great idea of how she could react to my coming out.

So whos in the right?
And if so, what can I say to help her understand?

Sorry, no magic formulas. She may never "get it" in spite of anything you say. The only suggestion I have is, since you indicated your father understands, get him to help you talk to her. I wish you the best of luck. Let us know what you decide to do and how it goes.

thats a great idea.
Although I just agree with her so we dont argue, and shell get mad over that.
Like recently, I stayed after school for 40 minutes because a Jazz teacher saw my dedication to percussion, and invited me to play in his concert. Well their concert is right after mine so it worked out trying to surprise her, and she was surprised about it(Which was the point) but still mad because I lied about it  ???
Ill put it this way shes one of a kind...

Update!
My mom said that during finals I should do very well because the house work will be finished and I cant use that as an excuse.
So I think she is kinda agreeing with me

well, let's hope so, but if that's how she said it "can't use that as an excuse", then I don't think she has any faith in you. I hope I'm wrong.
