Frustration . . .

If anybody even bothers to ever read this blog you'll realize that I let out a lot of frustrations here. Really it's to keep me from being too obnoxious to people in real life. I have a good life and am thankful for a lot of things. But sometimes I just need to vent! I'm going to do it now . . .

First blogger is acting weird so hopefully this post won't get lost. I was getting frustrated just trying to come here to let out some frustrations!

Another frustration is work related. We were told last month that we'd have an all day staff planning day on Monday the 15th. My kids don't have school that day, so dh took the day off. Today at staff meeting one of the other staff members says "oh, I forgot to put it on my calendar so I'm going camping that day." Well la de da! Must be nice to just decide you're doing something else and then make the rest of us have to change our plans!! So now we're meeting the 22nd instead and dh has to try and rearrange his schedule - which just is totally not fair to him if you ask me! Especially since I was being responsible and put it on my calendar! So that just kind of topped off my frustrations really.

My other frustration has to do with my friends. We all went out on Saturday for one friends b-day and had a pretty good time. But I realized that they don't see me as a friend so much as a mentor/snob/go to girl - I don't know, just not a pal to hang out and giggle and have fun with. Maybe I'm just not the giggle type. Who knows. But last night one of them called to ask me to go out with them tonight for margauritas and chips and salsa. Well, I'm not much of a drinker so I wouldn't go out without a designated driver, which means they probably were expecting me to drive. And not only that but really with my staff position at the church I just can't go out drinking and hanging out. Not to mention I've NEVER gone out to just drink and hang out. It's just not me. So it made me sad that they didn't consider at all the fact that really it's not something I would do or even could do in my position. The fact that they don't really know me well enough to know that I wasn't interested in their proposition at all was a little frustrating. I'm sure it's a lot my fault. I don't really trust people and I doubt too many people really know the true me. So maybe they really don't know that I wouldn't go with them.

So nothing major - just stuff that's nice to let out in the open somewhere rather than letting it fester inside.

Now I need to get ready for basketball practice. I'm going to try and talk to ds's teacher about switching classrooms today. I hope it's the right thing to do!!
