Just plain angry.
Have you ever been so angry that you really just couldn’t even think in clear thoughts. All you know is that you want to scream and you want to throw a terrible tantrum, but damned it you are over 3 and you can’t do it anymore. And it isn’t just one thing, its a whole bunch of things that have been waiting for the dam to burst. Walking away doesn’t help because you really want to go let some people have it and when you walk away you just get to play out in your head all of the things you wished you had said and didn’t.
I am just plain angry. I don’t have any other word for it, but I am freaking done. There’s no getting around the fact that I have lost my temper, lost control, and I am really ready to tell some people off. This last week has sucked!
I am furious with my 11-year-old daughter for not putting any effort into doing well in school and as a result her grades are slipping. How difficult it is to ask the teacher if you don’t know what to do? Raise your hand, ask the question, do your homework. Yes, I know she was sick for a few days and missed school due to an upper respiratory infection. It happens, she was sick and I could only afford to let her stay home from school 2 days because she missed other days getting her braces on. But give her a couple of days to make the work up, give her a bit of a break, and show her what needs to be done! She’s a smart kid going work 2 grades above her age. Give them a damned break when they act like children and need some adult supervision. And why is it that my daughter can be so sweet when she’s in trouble? I knew something was up when she came in the door quiet and wanted a hug. She had a bad day and knew it was about to get worse…it did, a lot.
I know I am an angry mom, I didn’t go over any lines. I didn’t touch her, I didn’t threaten her. But I am angry… very very angry.
And off the topic of my daughter.. 2 people who I thought were good friends of mine from high school and we reconnected with after all these years over Facebook felt the need to unfriend me over what I really feel is ridiculous reasons and at this point I am so angry I am glad to be rid of more links to my frustrating high school life anyways!
My first unfriending came with no warning, no hints at all. I just noticed that the regular ranting and raving coming from my Facebook was missing. It was like when the loud music at a bar suddenly cuts off and everyone looks around. Yeah, I looked around Facebook to see what was missing and realized pretty fast that I had been unfriended by someone I actually liked a lot and talked to almost every day. I had planned to fly 2,000 miles to her wedding to show her how much I cared about our friendship and I get unfriended, why? Hmm.. I wonder if it could have been my last post on Facebook asking my friends if they could PLEASE chill on the cussing. I know it’s hard, I know cussing is how you express yourself. But it’s really stupid and makes you look like you have no class. I know this because I am a chronic cusser and I have heard the nonsense that comes out of my gutter mouth, it’s gross. But does my friend explain to me that she’s upset with something I said? No.. I am unfriended by not only her but her boyfriend as well. Nice.. I love it.
THEN a few days later I get an email telling me that I am being unfriended for a month or two because apparently I have been religion bashing and he’s sick of the hatred from the world about him being Mormon. Excuse me??? Really?? I don’t do that! In fact I have no problem with anyone’s faith unless they try to shove it down my throat and choke me with it. And that wasn’t the case. Want to know what it was??? It was this damned CAT. Apparently the cat is a hate cat and I am guilty of spreading hate with a CAT! And no amount of trying to explain to my friend that I didn’t set out to offend anyone with the CAT helped. I was unclicked and checked off the planet into oblivion over a CAT. Why the hate for the CAT? Hmm.. because another person sent me the photo of the cat to cheer me up over being unfriended and I shared it with my Facebook friends because it was funny and did help. Did I care that the original poster of the CAT was someone who is atheist? No.. I don’t judge and didn’t care.. it was a CAT.
And there are a few other reasons I am angry that I am choosing not to post. But they are frustrating and upsetting, I don’t have any control over it and all I can do is sit there and try to be friendly and let it all just happen. The news is full of lovely stories of people killing their babies, politics that just stink, and it’s depressing. I’m done.. I am so angry.

OK, so yesterday was a bit much on the drama. However it was a bit amusing I have to admit. I mean really, how many times in your life can you say that you got someone so totally riled up that use the word Goody Good and Gangster in the same sentence! Priceless.. really.
But what strikes me the most is how good people get lured into combative situations without meaning to. How many times have you been shopping only to find rude shoppers making comments? Do you address them? Or do you ignore them and let the behavior go unchecked? What about when out and about and you see babies left alone in cars? Do you stand there guarding the child until the parent comes out and then take the chance on informing them on the dangers of leaving children alone? Or do you walk away, shake your head, and talk about it later and wish you had done something? Either way, these situations lure you into a situation with a person who WILL not only tear you apart verbally, but there are situations where it has gone to violence.
Morning Tempest is the idea that I accept that I hate mornings and sometimes I can be a little difficult to deal with. But it's who I am and I am accepting of my difficulties. 
When Crazy People Attack
Wow, so just when you thought it was safe to Facebook, crazy wives of old friends go chimp-crazy and try to attack you with words, sadly only to make you understand even further how badly people can behave. It almost makes me want to vote for giving free education to all, so that the learning curve of America isn’t fully dragged into the toilet by illiterate mongrels like this one.
So as told earlier in the day, my old friend turned out to be an old mistake when he allowed his probably intoxicated wife to molest his Facebook and try to have a battle of insults with me. At first I was a little taken back by the oh so witty commentary.
Well that was amusing.. and really it was enough to make me realize that I wasn’t going to go any further with this mental case. It also made me question if she knew what ”condasending” means. So I calmly unfriended her and went back to work only to find a few minutes later she hadn’t finished her uneducated rants. Several more followed this one..each one went un-responded. Soon she was having conversations with herself. And when I responded that I no longer wanted to have anything to do with her or her husband, that I would prefer that she stopped contacting me and blocked me if she felt better, I was not really surprised with this highly intelligent response.
If by ”goody good” she means without a felony record, no history of drug or alcohol abuse and I don’t make a living on a pole.. she’s correct. And yes.. I do understand that this little white girl is “gangster” because if by that she means
poor, uneducated, white trash without any hope of ever digging out of poverty and hopes that as her husband stated on MY Facebook wall that a ” TOAD ” will bail them out with handouts and government aid.. yes, in her world she must be ”gangster” all the way home-girl.
Well, thankfully I am sure Little Miss Gangster Sunshine can’t actually navigate her way out of the Men’s room and all will resolve itself soon enough as I have blocked her and him as well. But it has taught me a valuable lesson. Just because an old friend seems friendly on Facebook.. doesn’t mean they don’t have crazy wives that will try very hard to act like a grown up but fail miserably.
