I hate people @@
Goddess. I hate people sometimes. I don't know what has been wrong in my litle circle of influence the past few days, but I'm about to put a stop to it permanently.

First off, my possible future in-laws have decided that my son's 1st birthday party is not as important as taking the family out to eat buffet pizza, so they have invited some of my party guests to go along with them, at the time I was planning the party! Granted, the kid is only going to be turning 1 on Friday (party is on Saturday), so he won't even remember it, but that's no excuse for being Helens (my word for annoying people, no offense to people named Helen or otherwise being actually annoying). I was invited to go eat pizza, along with my kids, and it was suggested that "I" move the time for my party, in order to accomodate their plans. Oh H*LL no, lol! First of all, I'm the possessor of a VERY short fuse to my temper. It's reallllllly easy to set me off over nothing. Second of all, I'm pregnant, so with those hormones running through my veins, I'm even MORE irritable and likely to get pissed over tiny things. So my decision is to just keep the party as scheduled, and just have my family over, if they're the only ones who want to show up. :) That's the way it should be anyway.

Secondly, a friend of my friend, who has always specialized in making my life as miserable as he can, decided to piss me off for no apparent reason last night via AIM. Out of NOWHERE, he pops up with "Who wants to listen to your annoying babbling?" I wasn't even talking to him, lol. Last Friday night, while the kids were gone to their dad's, I met up with my friend and him at a local restaurant for awhile, and he got all b*tchy because he couldn't sit in the smoking section. (HELLO! I'm pregnant first off, and allergic to cigarette smoke secondly) Other than that, we haven't had any clashes whatsoever in over a month, so he decides he want to start something up out of the blue. My friend says he told her "I'm gonna go start something." and she claims that she tried to stop him but he just wouldn't listen...or didn't heed her if he did. The main thing that made me mad is that he questioned my discipline tactics with my children. In other words, he said "Go yell at someone, your children for instance". Implying that I yell at my children in another sentence as well. First off, I do NOT yell at my children...I spank them, yes, for biting each other or for deliberately disobeying in a dangerous way after I've told them repeatedly to stop, with no response. Other than that I either try to talk to them in an adult manner or give them a time out. I don't just stand there and yell at my children. Second off, he has never even SEEN me with my children to know anything about me one way or another. So either he was making it all up, or my friend has been running her mouth a bit too much for her own good. I'm tempted to think it's the latter, since she's always trying to stay on everyone's good side. The only thing is, if she wants to be on his good side, she's got to diss me, since he doesn't like me. I think he's a controlling b*stard, and the fact that she actually has a friend other than him is a situation he can't control drives him nuts, IMO. I think it's all jealousy. @@ Whatevah...at least I got to call him a gay internet ho, and to tell him that him announcing he's gay after every sentence is not only old, but becoming cliched quickly. It's no longer cutting edge to be gay, and he doesn't seem to realize this. I think he considers his gayosity (yeah i know it's not a word lol) as a ticket to instant cool...but he makes up for it by offering himself to every Tom, Dick & Harry on the internet if they'll meet him...and he thinks I'M a ho!! ;) HA!!! Makes me laugh. *wipes tear away* that's so precious.

Third thing that's going wrong lately...my 1 year old (same one who's having the aforementioned party) is having night terrors, I think. He wakes up screaming, and he doesn't even look like he's fully awake. He seems to just lay there with his eyes closed, screaming and crying, no tears, just noise. And after a few minutes of cuddling, he goes right back to sleep like it never happened. Earlier this evening, I put him down to bed around 8pm, and he woke up every 15 minutes or so, crying like this. He's been asleep nearly two hours now, so (knock on wood) we're prolly past it for the night. Doesn't help my mood though, to know that my child has troubles and I can't help him with it. :(
