I knew I would have a use for that word someday.
I don't wanna be at work.
*Cue kicking and screaming baby fit*
My normal patient and gracious, understanding self is having trouble with the petty grievances today. It's Christmas people! Get over it. The fact that your bill is five cents over the norm, is not an issue. I promise... And yes, I have about 600 other clients that believe they are just as important as you. *sigh*
Excuse my little tantrum.
Tomorrow is my Friday, as I am taking the real Friday off. Yeah! I made it to the end of the year with a day left over. Go figure.
Tell me? Does anyone else get annoyed, when someone younger, single and no children, feel that they are justified and qualified to give you advice on how you should speak and raise your child? When they tell you that what you are doing is wrong? Given the fact that they know nothing about your child, their issues or concerns about the particular subject in question and why you might be expressing concern? It has put my head is a very peeved place today. Bothered, even. I, for one, am not going to force my child to spend time doing something that makes her fearful, just because everyone says it "would be good for her". So the fact that it is upsetting her, and making her feel anxious and worried is a good thing? I don't happen to agree. Am I enabling her fear? I don't happen to agree with that, either. I gave her the option of making her own decision on a something that is based on her personal feeling about it. If she isn't ready to make or take that leap, then I am not going to push her off the cliff, either.
What is it with people today? Is it me? Have I done something karmically wrong in the universe or what?

OMG.......'Those people' who have no children have not a single clue how they will behave if and when they do. Makes me just wanna scream. Rachel isn't old enough to make the decisions in question. That is why she has you. An absentee 'donor' is not a 'Father'. So his opinion doesn't count in my estimation. You are not only her primary caregiver you are her ONLY caregiver. It's your responsibility. 'Those people' would be the first to point a finger and say 'Why the hell did you let her go?' if anything should go wrong......oi.
Whewwwww....I feel better now. Thanks for letting me vent. If you can't tell I was mentally screaming throughout....lol. You are a great Mom/parent don't let 'those people' make you think otherwise.
XXOO
This person I was writing about, just crossed a line with me. All is good and I think I made my point loud and clear. Thank you Mom. And I couldn't agree more about the donor part...you can vent anytime you want. :)
Moods do seem to be an issue. I let myself get caught in a mood today myself. Not good, at least I can step back and realize, that it isn't really something to spend time over in the scheme of things. I hope your weekend goes well Frenzied. It can be such a test on our strength of goodwill.
Rachel will not be going to Vegas. We talked a bit more on it. She had thought that maybe she would like to go, (but it was more of a thought of pretty dresses and flowers and music versus the reality of a wedding in Vegas) until I explained to her that Vegas isn't in the state of Oregon. She gave me those big blue eyes and said "It isn't?" and "How far away is it?" Uh yeah...she isn't going.
What really made me upset, was that in the same breath he asked for her to go with him, he stated that his new wife would be paying off his back child support. To the tune of several thousands of dollars. And while that all sounds well and good for us (me and Rachel) it had this underlying stench of bribary. ie. you let me take her and I will pay you off.
My daughters welfare is not worth any amount of money to me. She is priceless.
:D <----smiling big!
Sounds like you've gotten some good advice. So, in light of that I thought I would take it upon myself to lighten the mood with...
MR. BENNET!!!!!!
Sorry, you drew me in with the Pride and Prejudice referrence, and you know what a freak I am about Pride and Prejudice. By the way, how are your nerves?
Sorry, there I go again. ;)
Have a better day, or I will be forced to bring Colin Firth to your door and dangle him as bait.
So if I have a bad day, I get Colin Firth dangled before me? Is he all wet and stuff like when he came walking out of the river by his castle? Oooo...I think this day should go very wrong :P I am kidding, but feel free to dangle Colin anyway.
Thank Amy Jean ;)
