Have you ever just wanted to get away from everyone... Well, today is that day for me. Yesterday I had a birthday party for my daughter, it was early because her original birthday is over labor day and it is so hard to get friends over labor day. Since this was the only weekend that worked for us, it was set. Somehow I offended my mom because I didn't invite her and my step dad over. What the hell? Did she really think that it would be fun to chase after 9 and 10 yr old girls? Grrrr! Last night after the party we decided to go down to the ball park and watch my dad play softball. Every year we have alumni softball tournaments and he played. We found him and walked over to him and he said "Hi" to my son but acted as if I was the plague! I sat and stewed while he played and decided to just leave because I didn't need that. We got home and I was just in a pissy mood and my almost 15 yr old son really was being a jerk. Cocking off and thinking I would just take it. After many warnings I finally followed through... I took away his cell phone and computer privileges. He of course became instant... well you know. I decided last night that it was best if I just went to bed and start the day off with a fresh start. I woke up this morning to my son still being a jerk. My brother stopped over so that my husband and him could start working on a Hope Chest with old barn boards from my grandpa's brain. My grandfather just passed away in January of this year so I thought what a wonderful Christmas present it would be to make each of my brother and sisters and Chest. Well, we had stored the boards over at my Mom's house and my hubby and brother went over to get them and she threw a holy shit fit, saying that she thought those boards were for a wall downstairs in her basement. Mind you there are so many boards down there and tons more that we want to take off the barn yet. She then informed my husband and my brother that, I always get my way. WTF?
I give up! Some days you just can't win, and I guess these past two are mine! I am debating whether to confront or just forget. Right now I am too pissed to say anything knowing full well that I will blow up and say something that I will regret.
Am I totally irrational, or do you think I have a reason to be angry?
On a lighter note (since I didn't blog yesterday about Kiki's birthday) everything went really well and everyone had a blast at her party. She was so polite while opening her presents telling everyone the gifts they gave her were.. Ready for this? Simply amazing and that she loves them.
That gave me a wonderful feeling knowing that even though some of my family thinks I am some sort of evil monster who only thinks of myself. I have taught my children to kill in kindness when the going gets tough, should I also take that advice?

I've been there w/ the bday invites. Especially if we are doing something expensive. I don't see the need to invite every cousin, niece and nephew. It's for Bay n Bren.
But I've caught flack for not doing so and then when the time comes, my kids are left out, which is fine by me. That sounds terrible but I mean really. If we see you a few times a year, then it isn't about coming to a party for my kid, it's just an outing on my dime.
You did better than I at the game, I would have left. Screw that.
Why would she use those boards to fix a wall when they have so much meaning? Give yourself some time to chill on it, then bring it up. You can't just let it eat at you, but it won't be good to blow up either.
Kierra is such a doll. I can't wait to see the pics. I'm glad she had a great day.I sent the video to your phone since you said she isn't totally into checking it regularly yet.
