FFFC
It's almost Friday and I am up waiting for 12:30.... Plus, I have one this week.
Re: FFFC
A cousin of mine (S) called my baby girl ugly, on her FB status. She is upset because a fellow cousin (M) of ours posted a picture of B and herself as her profile picture. S got mad (I am guessing) because M has not commented on as many pictures of her baby as she has mine.... Said M was picking favs.... I am 2 steps away from getting involved in the dispute that I have dubbed as shitstorm. The picture was taken at M's dad's 60th birthday party Monday, that S chose not to attend.
FF part...
S is on the WT "side" of that side of the family and she is always making comments about me on her FB status, I am trying so hard to keep my big girl panties on but I just NEED to put her in her place. It isn't my fault that she is so jealous of me and my family, both immediate and extended (well maybe it is), she just needs to look for even just a couple of positive points in her life. I think my daughter is the most beautiful baby ever (umm what mother doesn't) but I would never stoop to the leel of calling another cousin's baby ugly.... But I am SUPER close to saying something as offensive.
::Must be bigger person::
You know what? Just de-friend her, lock your profile, and ignore her. People like that aren't worth a thought in your head. She can think whatever she wants, but it is rude beyond belief that she'd say something like that.
I agree with bluekid - that is SO rude, and the fact that you've kept your comments to yourself for this long is commendable. I would've gone off by now. If she's going to be that way, unfriend her and block her. People like that are just ridiculous. I've done that to family members before...yeah, I had some drama, but I'm so much happier not having to deal with their snide comments [and having to hold my tongue].
Oh yuck, Bri. I am so sorry she is being like that. Throatpunchabitch.
I don't really have a confession, other than I wish my parents were in the US while we have all of the issues going on with the truck being stolen. They always know how to handle things and the right way to do stuff--some parental advice would be nice right now since we don't know whether we should go ahead and replace our stuff, buy another truck to work off of until the main truck gets out of the body shop...wait a couple days for the police to keep looking...I don't know what to do and I am the one who usually has the answers and can think logically to figure it out. H is handling it all and I feel bad because I'm sitting there just crying and being sick to my stomach. I didn't sleep last night because I'm scared to death they're going to come to our house and try to steal things or scope out the place because H's wallet was in the truck we stole.
I kept hearing things last night and woke H up twice to go outside to look and make sure no one was getting into anything. I feel pathetic. Like a kid and not an adult.
I just keep telling myself that no one is dead, no one is hurt, and no one is sick. And that we'll be back on our feet soon. Material possessions don't matter because they can be replaced. My aunt called me and told me I need to trust God and I'm really trying. I'm just so sad for H. He did all of this himself and doesn't have anyone he can turn to about this for advice. His dad doesn't even know what's going on.
BoyMom - I'm so sorry you guys are going through that. I know it has to be a rough time...I've been thinking about you guys and hope it all works out soon. *hugs*
I've got nothing except that I'm ridiculously excited HP 7 will be arriving today [on Blu-ray!]. I never saw it in theaters and am this huge HP fan, so it's been killing me to not have seen and having to wait until it comes out on DVD. I plan on having a solo watch party tonight since JJ will be with my mom [I have to work all weekend].
My mom and I considered flying to Denver next weekend to check out a Thunder game since I was going to visit H anyway, and we weren't thrilled with the seats we got here [we're not going to any playoff games in OKC this year]. I think H will be tied up with work stuff though, so no point going out there if he can't spend time with me. But seriously - we considered it. Which makes me crazy, I know.
Not crazy - We are going, yo! We booked our flights a few weeks ago so let's just say on Weds night I was NOT cheering for a Thunder win.
I am shocked at how much less expensive the tickets in Denver are compared to OKC. Regardless, I am pumped I will be spending Easter weekend in Denver!
We wanted to go - the flights were awesome, and the tickets we found were even better - but I'm in a wedding next weekend, so we had to scratch it. I'm glad that the Thunder and Nuggets play in the same division so that when we move, I can at least see the Thunder play a couple of times while I'm in CO. You're gonna have a blast! If the series goes past four games and they play again in CO, I might go.
I failed.... I didn't say anything super harsh but after calling my baby ugly for a second time and saying she wouldn't apoloIgize for that comment or any of the others she said about me yesterday I just couldn't hold back any longer. I simply said that I knew she was talking about me and that she needed to grow up. It turned into an even bigger shitstorm that got another 2 cousins involved.... S ended up inviting me and M to lunch.... I don't foresee that EVER happening. There is a reason we have been divided and it isn't going to change any time soon.
I haven't deleted her yet but I have upped my privacy settings, so she can't keep tabs on me.
I don't think I could let someone get away with calling my baby ugly either. I think you did the right thing upping your privacy settings.
Was your insurance company able to give you any advice?
My two cents of unsolicited advice: I would go ahead and replace the tools and equipment. Those are easier for the thieves to get rid of/sale/hide. Are you able to do a rental while the other truck is in the shop being worked on? If the keys were in the truck I would definitely look at getting the locks changed on your doors.
I'm hoping something turns up soon.
My FFFC: I don't think any of this is FF.
My real FFFC: I'm starting to feel like I am one of the "big dogs" at my school. People come to me for advice, compliment me on how I handle things so diplomatically, I don't have problems with kids others have problems with, I always get glowing reviews, and I very often get my way with things. My kids also turn out quality work and appear to greatly enjoy their classes with me. It makes me wonder what in the hell some of the other teachers are doing.
