I dropped my kids off at W house. I got all dressed up like I was going to a fancy meeting or something. It was a 180 because my kids were asking questions....however, W not there on time. So I couldnt toss a LL message while dressed up. So I txt her something about her not being there. She called and totally went off on me that she had told my son she was going to be late and they could use the back door. My son had no idea. I just mentioned all she had to do was call me and I could have brought them over a little later. She also lambasted me because we went out of town last weekend and she didnt know where we had gone. I didnt know I had to check in with her all the time...
Anyway, I emailed her back saying I'm sorry that she's in a bad mood, we didnt know she wasnt going to be there, and that I still cannot read her mind. I said that all I was trying to do was drop off the kids and now I'm the bad guy?
She called me right back and said she was sorry. She felt I had not been nice in the past on emails, etc. I had just said how is it possible to be extremely nice when I'm totally ignored? I told her I just didnt know she wasnt going to be there today. We talked for a few minutes and I said she sounded very stressed out. She agreed and said there was 'a lot going on right now'...so, I pursued a little. I asked her if she'd like to come over for a massage to ease her stress. She said she was taking my daughter to lunch and then had to work this afternoon. I said that offer is available when you want to take it.
So...I guess it was good she called back to say she was sorry. and, I think it's good she didnt rebuff my pursuit with an 'it's over' type of response.
