Thank God it’s Nearly Over!
It’s been a long annoying day. Women decided they wanted to go to the coffee shop this morning instead of the gym. I went along and decided not to get anything. Mainly bc I didn’t have my wallet, but then I got there and realized ….I DO NOT NEED ANYTHING! I’d eaten a boiled egg before taking Cole to school so I dont get too hungry during working out. Sooo we went and then I said, “well I’m still going.” A friend (or whatever she may be) made a few comments about some PTA stuff I didn’t do right or hadn’t done, etc and then made a comment about something personal and I got really offended basically. I went to the gym and called hubby from the car. I was getting more and more upset and was crying. So, I left and went home. Ate breakfast and did a few things. Made calls and got my stuff handled so I didn’t have to hear about it anymore. I went to lay down and be depressed and sleep. I couldnt’. So after about 20 minutes I got up and put on my tennis shoes. Went to the gym and stayed for nearly an hour and a half cos I was soooo irritated still.
So that one event pretty much screwed up my entire day. Then we all had a play date after school at her house. It was fine and then she was pissed at another friend about her pta stuff. So the focus was off of me. I feel like I try too damn hard to be in a particular circle. I really do enjoy these women overall but when I feel like I’m starting to be part of the group something happens and they cut me out. I know I shouldn’t try to be their friends, but I dont really have many friends or really ANY that I can do things with outside of school. I had a few and some things happened and I got tired of being used and abused so I said NO and one in particular didn’t like that and quit talking to me.
I’m just feeling sorry for myself I guess. But these new women I believe the main thing they keep me at arms length is over is financial status. We dont have money. We have nice things, but live in a small 2 bedroom home in the college neighborhood. All these women are pretty much socialites with loads of money. I just dont fit in. I’m not in the Junior League. I’m sure you are getting the idea.
Anyways….the playdate with a few moms and lots of kids went just fine. Came home and made some chicken noodle soup. I didnt’ have enough broth so I used cream of chicken also. It was kinda soupy but I went to put the leftovers up and it’s now more like a chicken noodle casserole. Pretty good though! Then I had a PTA mtg that was too darn long. Hubby has to work tonight for a few hours. I do have to admit to going to sonic and getting a blended root bear float. There is a little over a third of it left and I’m going to go dump it out. But damn was it good!
Now I’m going to watch the REal Housewives of Atlanta. Oh what a trainwreck. You just cant NOT watch it!
I’m going to try to get in for my yearly tomorrow (again). How annoying! Wish me lots of scale luck. It got cold here tonight and will have to wear more clothes than last time! BOO!
First of all, you made my day saying that I’m wasting away!! I definitely think it’s water weight, plus I was PMSing so it was extra water weight. But it’s still fun to see the scale go down instead of up
As far as your friendship circle, could it be that these women feel intimidated b/c you’re still making the choice to workout when they just want to gab and eat? They all seem to enable each other but it can be threatening to see someone break free and make the healthy choice b/c it’s a reminder that they’re not. And regarding the finance issue, I know a lot of people who live in the fancy part of town and appear to have it all but are hanging on by a thread. They live on credit cards and image is more important than having a bit saved up in the bank. Just a few things to think about
