Ahh the Rollercoaster that is life…

As I sit here coming down from a rage that I had all day. I wonder why I am awake. All day I could barely keep my eyes open due to the overcast\rainy day we had. Its terrible for me. If its gonna rain and I am near a couch I am shot for the day. I attempt to stay on my feet and find myself dozing as I stand. Sad? Yep.

The day started good. Up early took Meghan to her 1st day of  Sunday school. They have another name for it but it was Sunday school then and it is to me now. I came back home with Kate and Kelly. Little while later Kelly leaves to get her and take her to church. Kate wouldn’t sit for three minutes let alone a hour long mass. I got to stay home this week. I will go next week.

So Kelly comes home and this is where my day goes south. I am waiting for a call and or txt from friends of mine to stop to see them. I kept this part of the day totally open just for this reason. Normally I would have done the Kmart run around then. So after waiting a while with no message I grab Kate and head to Kmart and Dollar General. I love both those stores. Outside of food I get all of things I need for the week at these places. I have my phone and checking all of the messages as they come in. None of which mind you are from the people I am waiting to hear from.

So as I only have til 5pm I wait it out until then and head to my Mom’s house for a excellent Chili dinner. Ahh nothing like dinner at Mom’s. Always tastes better then anything cause its what you grew up on. Also during this time no message and or phone call. At this point between the rain and my phone I have had it with this day and grew slightly cranky.

But like Superman flying out of nowhere to stop Lex Luthor my girls quickly snap the cranky out of me with a little bit of play in the back yard. That was so much fun. I have generally tried to spend as much time as possible with Meghan this weekend as I see her minimally during the work week. I miss my angel but I am learning all the things I didn’t know about Kate. Its a trade off. I guess.

So all day goes by and no message from the friends I thought would call. So finally I said…FUCK IT. I gave up and will this point forward. I have been nice and tried my best with some people but as nice as I am I can’t do it any more. Sadly most of my friends live just a few blocks away and I never see them. But I talk to out of state friends and family nearly daily without fail. I know the question I missed here was why didn’t I call? Yeah I thought about that. When someone says they will call\txt I am under the assumption that they have plans and I am not the type to invite myself. Well unless food is involved and then I am 1st in line.

Anyway one lesson I learned from the old man was that as hard as you try you cannot please everyone and not everyone can please you. Great advice. I had hoped to never use it. I am the type to be friends with everyone and anyone. But you can only get forgotten so many times before you forget why you tried. Yeah this is a lot of mindless babble. I just needed to get it off my chest so I could sleep.
