W. sent me 2 potential scholarship opportunities for D17, which are for children of deployed servicemembers. One has a deadline of 20 Feb, and requires transcripts and it needs to be mailed to the nearest commissary (military supermarket on an active duty installation), which is one state over from where my state is. I emailed all the stuff needed to W., and explain that I didn't think I could get all the stuff together and submit it on time from Iraq. I layed out a step-by-step peocess how to apply, and attached everything.
She responded today saying (exactly, cut and paste from the email):
"I'd appreciate you doing it...I am overwhelmed at this point. The kids need a huge amount of my time right now as well. Thanks."
I wrote her back, and said, Sure, I'll do it, but I had asked you to do it because the mail to the commissary would take 3 days from where you are, and it may not make it from Iraq on time. I got it. It'll be out of here tomorrow. Maybe she is overwhelmed. Who knows? But just wait...........
Overwhelmed? What will happen when you file for divorce, and your income is cut drastically, and we now have college bills to pay? And oh, yeah....what about the kids then? You think they'll need a little more than time.
The anger and resentment of this woman seems to know no boundaries. For someone so smart, she jsut doesn't seem to get it.
Side note: Trick of the week is al Queda using mentally retarded women as suicide bombers, and remotely detonating them. Car bomb killed about 12 including kids one town over.
