I find it funny that ONLY when they need me do they every call me ... I don't hear from ANYONE until they need me. "Oh I called earlier this week, didn't you kids tell you?" Hmm, all my phones have caller ID, I would know if you did. Yet, the only time I hear from any one is when I am needed. This time it is because I have a truck! Sweet, huh?? Not "Hi, how are you doing? We haven't talked in awhile. I wanted to catch up." More of "Hi, I blew you off yesterday, but I wanted to know if you can take me to pick up the cribbed I wanted for my soon to be born baby."
WTF ... I only spent all night in the ER with one of my children. 1/2 the day shopping ... today busting my arse training a new employee AND putting out new stock. Not to mention clean the hades out of my house, putting together the items that I got ... Oh dealing with my children as well. And my true friend is having issues, so I have been helping her! I am suppose to STOP my life to get a freaking crib after for you?? I really need to find the word STUPID that they believe is tattooed on my head because I was a bit pissed.
Let's not forget that I have to deal with my oldest freaked over the fact that her gym teacher told her she has "athletic astham" ... the girl won't do anything any more. My diabitic test came back & the suger level is a bit too high. Her & I both have to get in to be seen. Yet I don't see there lives stopping to assist us out in any way.
How dare people act in that manner? I mean are they just that stupid or just that self centered? Or maybe I am just better at getting through life better than they are ... I guess that is it. I have to be better at getting life better & so are my children. Because the fruit loops have completely lost it here. Or I am in a completely different reality then when I went to sleep in ... & if so SOME ONE please put me back in the one I came from.
I have taught my children to adapt to all situations. They know what to do when there is no power, neighors no all weird, all different crisis ... but ADULTS cannot even do it!
"Oh I called because I don't know the number for housings work order line ... is your mom there?" ("You need to call the information line." my childs response ) "I locked my keys in the house, does you mom have Rear D's number?" ("You need to call a lock smith." my kids response -- yes this happened!) "I need a baby sitter, is your mom home or can you baby sit?" ("No my mom doesn't babysit & I am watching my brothers, but she gave you a list already, please call them." my daughter dreaded line) And that goes on & on.
But I must admit the gall of this one was good. Blow me off one day & then call me the next for use of my truck ... that takes a lot of nerve!
Venting feels so good ... felt even better to say "No." Really wonder just how she is gonna get that contraction all the way home. While I sit with a smirk, knowing that you shouldn't treat people the way that you do if you friends ... cause she definetly isn't one of those.
