Ok, so for the longest time I kept myself at bay. I am not against friends obviously but somehow I always end up paying for it in the end. Well I got it double time this time. The first one started pretty much a year ago.
Erin ruined Christmas for our family last year by having her surgery on purpose over break. So Mathew had to stay in FL to cover her husband being out to "take" care of her and their kids. So I got over that, whatever. Then she pretty much invited herself over to our house on Easter. While we already had plans for a simple evening with another family. I didn't want her family to feel left out so we said what the heck. Well she forgot to inform us that her kids were sick and got all of us sick for weeks. She said that I was talking about her but it wasn't me, did she care nope. We were invited to her sons b-day party and everything seemed ok, so I figured she moved on. So now I am having a birthday party this Saturday for the boys and she said that they had plans with her sister-in-law, that never comes into town. Which she does come to town often, lol. Ahhh, the lies. Today I found out that she signed up her kiddos for the local gym and have classes this Saturday at the same time of the party. If she didn't want to come, why not just say so. The boys were so looking forward to them coming too. Gosh I am over all this, have been since last year.
I made a new friend over the end of the summer and I thought she was really nice but boy was I wrong. Brittany's husband was away at school for like 6 weeks. OMG, he is such a control freak, I am surprised she is allowed to breathe without his permission. So I helped her out as much as I could. Well we hung out almost every day[she always asked me to]. Mathew met her and said she was trouble but I gave her a chance. Well I had no idea that she was she was talking bad about me to another mutual friend, Lauren. Hell I was just house/cat sitting for her over Thanksgiving break. Apparently this happened to another friend Julie, again with Lauren. Which explains a lot because Julie and I use to hang out but once she noticed Brittany and I together she didn't keep in contact. What really threw me over the edge was, involving my kids. I asked her in November a week before if she would be able to take the boys home after our Enlisted Spouse's Club[ESC] meeting. I had tickets for the 10 PM showing for Twilight, that I bought months before. She said ok, sure no problem. Well she complained to Lauren every day leading to Thursday that she didn't want to. She doesn't think she should have to and didn't understand why Mathew couldn't watch them. He normally has our HOA meeting the week after but with Thanksgiving, they bumped it up to the same night. She only had to watch them for maybe 45 min, if that. She told Lauren that she wasn't gonna say anything to me and just not show up to the meeting and me be screwed. Lovely right, well she only watched them for a total of 5 minutes. Mathew said he walked in and the boys were just getting out of their coats and shoes. Apparently, all I do is overstay my welcome, go out with friends over being at home with my family and drink. Don't get me wrong, I like a good glass of wine, going out/over to a friends for my sanity and leave when asked or when I see things winding down. Well I feel so bad for Lauren to have to go through this twice. Lauren and I both decided not to bend over backwards for her anymore. We want to drop her like a bad habit but that would cause more drama. I am to old for this crap. AHHHH. She has been hanging out with a new group of friends that live by her. I hope that she grows up and figures out what she is doing. Otherwise she is gonna drive a lot of people away.
This ended up being a lot longer than intended, lol. I have work the rest of the week and the boys birthday party is on Saturday, an ESC Christmas party and a cookie exchange this weekend. Busy, busy, time of the year.
----------->EDIT<--------------
Apparently Mathew talked to AJ, Erin's husband and it is because she doesn't like my personality. She hasn't spent anytime with me, so she really doesn't know me, lol. I think I have spent a handful of days with her over the past 2 years and that was for short bursts of time at that.
Later Chicas,
Hugs♥
