Today I am home sick. I've been feeling rather worn out and blah the past few days and yesterday realized "Hey, I'm sick!" It's hard to get your head out of your butt when you're feeling sick but I'm gonna try D14 is also sick and I told her yesterday that if I stayed home she could come over to my place today. I called in the morning to ask W what arrangements were made for D10 after school, do I pick her up at school or does she walk home? W refused to come to the phone yelling "I have no time for this" OOOKKKK! She had agreed to drop D14 at my place and obviously was pissed at that arrangement. The old whatis, sick or not, would have volunteered to drive over and pick D up if it was inconvenient for W, you know, placate her so noone else has to take a few verbal whacks, not now. She is fully capable of dropping off D, it's two minutes out of her way and I'm not feeling well. D14 called me back to say they were just about to leave and then said "we'll be there in two minutes, oh wait, mommy's in the middle of one of her tantrums, so we'll probably be five minutes" Smart ass! So when they arrived W dropped D at the lobby door, I waved to her twice (thinking the first time she didn't see me...oh sure!) as I let D in W just ignored me, refusing to respond, and then drove away... imagine that!!!! It just occured to me that this is why Coffee Buddy's similar kinds of avoidance tactics get to me. I have a lengthy history of a W who exhibits that kind of behaviour as a passive aggressive slap in my face whenever she's ticked by something. Ignore the bastard, make him pay for whatever I'm pissed about! It's hard to erase the emotional response from your hard drive when dealing with someone else! The message in both these situations is read by me as "you are nothing to me". Wow, how do you get away from that kind of feeling! I can't go around responding to everyone like they are my W whenever a similar behaviour is flashed. But, that is for another day. Anyway, D and I will spend the day coughing and resting.
