Wow. When I woke up this morning, I thought I was 30 years old...surrounded by friends who are 30-34years old. Boy was I surprised to discover I was back in high school...except worse.
That hand foot and mouth incident has exceeded my worst expectations. Cold shoulder by Husband and wife followed by failure to make eye contact, with a fun loud conversation meant to be overheard about her daughters party. Wow. Seriously?
The best part is that there are so many treasures I could tell her... but I am trying to just move on. My husband would appreciate it if I would. I'm wondering how her husband is going to act around my husband on Sunday in Elder's quorum. Oh wait! I'm probably a good excuse to not come to church. I solved her weekly problem! Okay...that was mean. But seriously, I have rarely felt that uncomfortable in my life.
What's funny is I called her and told her I was sorry that I had to double check because I understand it! And, I even texted her after her non-response saying "I'm sorry I was a brat about it. I just can't afford to lose my job. I'm glad she is better and I'm driving Wednesday so see you then!!" She told me she would be dropping out of the carpool. Oh well. I did that too, when I got hurt. I dropped out of play group.
I'm sorry hurt her feelings. We all make mistakes because we're human. I'm human. She's human. And heaven knows I've walked on egg shells around her for 2 years.
If anything, this has taught me how careless I can be. I rarely get over worked about an illness... but when you post pictures on Facebook... well.... anyways, it's taught me that it's easy to get offended and I hope I can remember that when I get offended, I should choose not to take offense because the person may not realize what they did. Anyways, kind of sucks but it's all a learning experience and I'm praying I have the strength to keep it that way and not get sucked in to fight she's trying to bring to me.
