Get over it!

Back to my belief that the time change makes people grumpy. Last night I had to go to a girl scout "leader" meeting. Woo hoo. yeah it sounded like about that much fun to me also. It did not disappoint. It was a lot of women who try to out do each other with whose troop got more patches or tried this one better. I thought that it was about the girls and what they wanted to learn and do. Silly me. Anyway I took the littlest kiddoddler with me and yeah she was fussy, it was boring, she had to be quiet, and it was after 7 pm so it was past her bedtime. So if you don't want fussy babies there, have your meeting at a decent hour. We are all supposed to be moms and dads there. One lady just kept giving me dirty looks, whatever gorgeous, get over your self! She then 1 hour into this pat our selves on the back fest, she goes up there to promote this "Miss Community" pageant that is going on the 17 th. Wow. Great. What does that have to do with girl scouts? So I take the baby out side and started talking with a young girl that was out side also. She was may be 15 years young, alone, in the dark park, waiting for a ride. Gee I did not think that it was to safe , so we were chit chatting till her grandmother arrived. Well around then Brunhilda apparently finished her lengthy speech on why it is important to waste my time with information on a pageant that doesn't even benefit the scouts. She decided to go and sigh loudly at me outside, shake her head and close the door as she sees me walking to it. Suttle hint? Hello? We are supposed to show how to get along with everyone. Was that polite? I don't think so. So whatever, I went back in anyhow grabbed my gunk and left. Oops, did I mention under my breath as I passed the Queen of the Damned that I thought that her amazon big butt could never win a beauty pageant even if she paid off the judges? No. I wanted to though. Instead I smiled so brightly at her that she turned away and shook her head. Obviously she is still upset with me for first letting my baby make noise while she was talking and yes I do realize that is rude, which is why I left her oh so LONG speech on pageants. I suppose she also felt that leaving a young girl outside in the dark was acceptable also, and I should not have conversed with her at all. Naughty me. As I was leaving I did have the baby wave at her back and said " Oh send her some love punkin, obviously it has been a LONG TIME since anyone wanted to give love to this poor..um..woman?" Hey, rudeness breeds rudeness. Get over it!

Yeah I was bugged still after I got home. I can't believe I let that woman get to me. I stewed over it for an hour or so. Then I thought "hey ding dong. Take your own advice and GET OVER IT!" That woman's opinion of me means what to my life? Nothing. Do I really care if she likes me or my daughter? Nope. Will someone die if she and I don't agree that her little girl beauty pageant is worthy of my time? Not as far as I know. So why am I letting her affect me negatively? I don't know. Okay then, let me put a positive spin on a wasted evening. I can honestly say that I would rather be home on a bad day, with kids that love to antagonize each other, than spend time with people trying to escape their children. I know that I don't want to be like any of the ladies I met there, nor do I want to hang out with them. I probably don't want to be a leader next year if I have to be like them, and that would be a good thing, because I volunteer way to much. So Thank you lady in the blue too small tee shirt, you have reaffirmed to me that you and your friends matter not in my small world, but my children and my husband's opinions mean the world to me, That is as it should be.

Now, I'm over it.
