Maybell XXXVIII: Settling In

[Maybell]

Mozza, that was the perfect response. Thank you.

Yesterday I picked my boys up from school in the car rider line, which I don't usually do. I was trying to do some work on my phone while I waited and when I looked up Mr. Fantastic's SuperFantastic girlfriend was standing next to the car in front of me, hanging on the window and chatting up the mom inside like she was a cheap floozy hanging on a bar pick-up. (Don't call me bitter!! ) she kept looking at me and twisting herself around to be sure I noticed her standing there and she stayed till the cars around us were driving away. Then she finally walked back to her car, three rows over.

Tonight, D13 said she would have liked to have gone to the school play except they were with me tonight. I said, "what?" And she explained that The SuperFantastic gf (who has my first name) is taking her kids tonight and that Mr. Fantastic agreed with her that it would be awkward if I ran into the gf. I said "I've run into her many times. You think I'd make a problem?" All three kids said, no, it would just be super awkward.

I feel badly that my kids have to think like that. I also am very disgusted at both Mr. Fantastic and the SuperFantastic gf for feeding the fear. Also I DO wish I could throw eggs at her. She was my friend. She knew some of my secrets and I knew some of hers.

I wish that didn't bother me.
