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....
The perpetual dilema

If there's something I've learned this year, it's that you can't make people want to spend time with you, even if you're dying for their company. There's a reason all this is happening and while it may seem next to impossible to see that right now, I promise there's something better waiting for you at the other end. If Jeanie doesn't want to be a mature adult, fine. You keep doing your thing!
