W decided at the last minute to show up for church this morning. And then she pulled the same little maneuver she did a couple of months ago -- during the offering she escorted S6 to Children's Church (this is about mid-service usually), but then when she returns she sits somewhere else -- to avoid sitting next to me.
She had an "excuse" this time however -- she said today she was the Nurse-on-call for her group, and she had to relocate closer to an exit in case she got called.
Me, I'm thinking, "Whatever". I don't care anymore. I don't need her excuses.
What upset me more was that in the first part of the service I was looking through the church bulletin and saw a flyer for our church -- they're going to hold their own session for the DivorceCare program starting the second week in January. I smiled and pointed this out to W. She glanced at it and acknowledged that she had already seen it, but she was not interested. She said she "had too much 'homework' to get caught up in something like that."
I have been fuming about this ever since. Oh, I acted nonchalant and got focused on the main service, but when she decided not to show back up later after taking taking S6 to children's church, I was actually somewhat relieved. (But I almost wish she just wouldn't show up at all, if she's going to be that way.)
Still, the assertion that she is anymore busy than I am -- and yet I manage to have shown up for the DivorceCare support group sessions at another church without fail for the entire 13-week program (and am still going back) -- is patently ludicrous. I know W's just close-minded to anything other than hearing from those who enable her vices. And she's too arrogant to consider that she has anything she might possibly could learn in these matters.
I have had a mind to put the flyer prominently on her vehicle under the wiper blade, but she'd just toss it in the garbage.
W won't seek any more counseling either. Miss know-it-all can't be bothered.
