Dying friendships...

So, I emailed Jeanie again yesterday. Said, "gee you never responded to my last email; must've gotten lost in cyberspace." Yes, I'm playing dumb. But if your mad at me - tell me that. I can't fix something if I don't know how it got broken.

When I didn't get a response, I decided to text her this morning. I figure, I'll annoy the hell out of her until she finally says, "LEAVE ME THE HECK ALONE!!!" I texted her this..."I've got an itch to go to go Hershey park. Can you get a day off of work and we'll take the kids, like we did last year." She responded, she responded. She said, "Sorry, taking adam and 3 of his friends in a few weeks."

Ooookay. Obviously, this woman wants Adam to stay away from the bad influence of Nick because he's supposed to be Adams bff and he wasn't included? So, I responded with :( okay, have a good time.

I don't know what else to do. I mean, I will always be grateful for what she did for me, but am I supposed to BEG to be friends with this woman, who obviously doesn't want to be friends anymore.

I just wish I knew WHY our friendship is ending....and I'm sure some of you are saying, WHY do you care after what she did to you ON MOTHER'S DAY - but it goes back to what she did for me. I guess I feel I sort of "owe" her or something??? I don't know. All I know is I feel like this friendship is hanging on by a thread and instead of trying to help sew it together, she's got the cutting it with the scissors.

Am I completely over-reacting here?

My priest left this past weekend. I couldn't go to his final mass, so I went to the little house on the prarie one up the street. Nick insisted on going to say goodbye, so Michael took him, and I sent along a card of thanks etc.

I called the church this morning, told them we are leaving the parish and took Nick off the altar boy list. Called the new church and had to leave a message *sigh* Emailed the lady about CCD classes for Chris and now I just wait to start the new chapter of my spiritual life.

Patience is NOT one of my good qualities....

Catch up - catch me...

It's been a while since I posted. I apologize for that; but my life has been nothing less than chaotic.

As of yesterday my parents are officially split. My mom had her condo settlement and afterwards, she and my Dad went out to lunch to celebrate....I know, I know, WTH? At the gym this morning she informs me that he was sooooo nice yesterday. So, maybe absence is making his heart grow fonder already, even though she is still living in the old house until the furniture delivery.

Sunday we went to the little catholic church down the street from us. Can you say, "Little House on the Prairie?" I swear I was claustrophic in it. I sat there, holding back tears, because this is the last thing I want to do, but with my priest, and family friend leaving our current parish, there really is NO reason to keep driving 30 mins to go to church, when there is one literally 2 mins from my house...right? I found myself searching on-line today for other churches in the area, bigger churches. Found about 3, but with Chris going to public school next year I have to enroll him in CCD classes and I need to get him registered yesterday -so I'm not sure I have the luxury of checking them all out.

This weekend I took a semi-emergency visit out to NYC. My girlfriend was having some issues and was desperate to talk with me. Turns out her marriage is in trouble...well, not in trouble, dead is more like it. My heart just breaks for them and her kids (which happen to be my godkids). Here's another marriage that bites the dust :(

I emailed Jeanie. You know, the woman who emailed me about Nick being a bad influence on her perfect and innocent son. She never answered me. So, now the question is, do I try again, or let the friendship die? I will always be grateful for everything she did for me with Cindy and I will always love her for that, but, as usual, I seem to be the BAD person here when I didn't really do anything wrong, other than not respond to HER email immediately, because I wanted to cool off. I don't get it and I dont' know what to do.

My mother in law called last night...that's NEVER a good thing. The only time she calls is when something is wrong, or if she needs something. Turns out my father in law is not doing well. He lost use of both of his his for a few days and the drs don't believe it was a stroke. He was tested and the only thing they came up with was he has pnueumonia. Pneumonia....a week before we are supposed to go on vacation.
Can anything else go wrong?

WAIT!!!! Don't answer that.....
