Awww, Ven. That sux. Hope it gets better fast. And LadyBlue - that's awful about your husband, too! Stay safe, weekenders!
The urge to text handyman has passed.
But I just had an infuriating experience. I took the kid to the supper club for dinner, partly because guy friend is borrowing my pressure washer for the weekend, and he was there also getting dinner. So we walk in, and he's sitting with some former friends of mine, who I introduced him to years ago, a couple. For some reason, a few years ago, the woman of this couple, Vicki, decided to write me off. I do not, to this day, know why. She completely ignores me when I see them. The guy of the couple is at least polite, he has nothing against me. Well my son and I sat down with the group at the bar, and she once again ignored me, and my son. I was sitting next to her. I mean really. To not even say hi to my son?? I tried to get into the conversation a few times, and guy friend tried to include me. No dice. So we ate our food and left. I was seething by the time we left. Guy friend had to come out to the parking lot to get the washer, and I was not a happy camper. I feel bad for him to have to be in the middle of all this. This woman does this to people - she decides to be mad at people and never tells them why, and never gets over it. I don't really care for myself, but she makes it so uncomfortable for everyone. If I had known they were there we would not have gone. They got there right before we did, though, and guy friend had not had a chance to text me. I think she wrote me off because of something I did while drinking, but I don't know what. And she's an alcoholic, too, but would never admit to it. She has also done plenty of stupid things while drinking. We used to do that stupid stuff together. We were really good friends. So I'm not sure where she gets off dissing me like that. Arrgghhhh. Ok. Rant over.

My mom is driving me nuts again.
I'm probably just a spoiled brat.
She's here for a few days.
She goes with my auntie 2-3 times a day to walk my auntie's dogs.
I love my aunt and my aunt loves me-
But bloody hell- my mom tells me every time my aunt is there- when she arrives and leaves- so up to 6 times a day.
She'll knock on the bathroom door while I'm in the shower- I can't hear what she's saying- so, I'll turn off the shower, grab a towel, get out, go to the door and ask what's wrong- she say " auntie is here"
You gotta be ******* kidding me,
I'm an insomniac as everyone knows and I'm often exhausted- I just fell asleep for about 20 mins ( after I told her I was going to try and sleep)
So I hear this loud knocking on the door ( I have 2 really loud fans in my room for white noise- so you have knock loudly)
So I wake up, get out of bed, walk across the room, open the door and ask what's going on.
You guessed it- it's my mom standing there
" auntie's here"

Venecia, ouch and I hope you heal quickly. What an utter pain in the neck. I hope the woman doesn't hit any children out there. How thoughtless of her.
Marty, I'm sending virtual hugs. It sounds like you're having a rough day. She's a jerk. Does guy friend stick up for you? Like call her to account? She doesn't sound like someone I'd want to waste my time on.
Kids and I stopped at Target and bought a ton of junk food. And unsweetened iced tea. Just one of those days.
It's too cool for flashing people here too but that didn't stop my son from taking out the recycling in his underwear. Sigh. In broad daylight.
LadyB, I hope your husband is OK. What a drag.
Time to go inside. Maybe I'll trim my shrubberies tomorrow. Oh, and I got s message with abject apology from the school principal about the cancellation. Still doesn't make it easy

I hope your husband heals quickly too LadyB, has to be tough with him being self employed.
Sorry Trach, I have to go with Ruby. If you don't include the emergency clause .... well, we know how that ends.

Ruby - he doesn't call her out. I really wish he would. It's been a sore spot for me. I don't waste time on her, it's just bad for everyone else. Guy friend doesn't like her much either, but he's good friends with the guy. It's just a cruddy situation. I'm calmer now.
