Well, not really. Been doing stuff around the house I have a list of things that I want to tackle today and I hope I get to it all. I’m not going to post any pictures for a while. Sorry. But Lil Man’s Bday party was nice, out of the 30+ people that we invited 8 showed up, that wasn’t counting Big G and myself. 3 of those 8 were the owner of the bowling alley, one of her daughters and her daughter’s son. Our pastor’s wife and a co-worker of Big G with his family. I had 4 people let me know they weren’t going to be able to make it.
I’m a pretty big stickler on RSVPs. I try to do it as soon as I go through the schedule and make sure Big G doesn’t have anything planned. He works a rotating shift so we usually play things by ear. I had 3 people tell me that they were coming and didn’t show, wait actually 4 we stopped another co-worker of G’s and he’s like yeah, yeah, yeah be there with bells on. Look you’re not going to hurt my feelings if you call me and let me know that you won’t be able to make it. Yeah, I’m super sensitive but in all honesty, I’d rather get the sorry I can’t make it than just sitting there wondering.
That brings me to another subject. I’ve been trying to contact someone I thought was a friend for a while and wanted to take her out to lunch to repay her for giving Lil Man a toy that he absolutely loves. I leave her messages and it’s like she totally ignores them. Just tell me you can’t or don’t want to, seriously. I’m to the point now where if you don’t want me to return an act of kindness, then you’re not worth my time. I hate doing that but I’ve got more important things to do than wait around. I don’t have a lot of friends around here, because I’m not from this area, I didn’t go to school with you or a relative. That’s how it feels when I think I have friends that I can count on and come to find out they don’t give a rat’s left butt cheek about you. Do me and yourself a favor just forget about me. If that’s harsh then look at the way you treat people in general. There’s one thing about me now, if I’m offering help to you for anything I really mean it, I’m not saying it to blow smoke up your butt to make you or myself to feel better. If I’m able to help and make a bit of a difference then that’s how I’ll feel better the offer is genuine and PLEASE don’t blow smoke up my butt and say you’ll call me. If you don’t need me then say thanks but no thanks.
That’s one thing I like about the church that I attend, the people there are honest and they’ll let you know and I really appreciate that more than they will ever know. I’ve offered my help and I’ve either gotten the “come on” or “we’ve got it covered, thanks” .
But seriously, think about how you talk and treat people. Is that how you want to be treated? I’m still working on how I treat people and I always try to give them the benefit of the doubt, but since I’ve had Lil Man I’ve become a bit more bolder, I still think before I speak but I’m speaking more.
Have a great day. Enjoy the day.
