Struggling...

I am really struggling to be a nice person today. Seriously, I am just put out with rude people. As much I try to "kill" them with my Southern Belle kindness sometimes it just does NOT work! Last week, on Tuesday to be exact, I was at speech with Cade. It was pouring down rain and I mean pouring! I parked in a spot closest to the door so we wouldn't get too totally soaked. Apparently, right before his appointment was over someone thought it would be a good idea to park behind. I loaded Cade up in the van and tried to back out of the parking spot many different ways and I just couldn't get out without hitting the car beside or behind me. I walked back into the building and asked if the person driving the gold van could please move their car because I was blocked in. A lady finally stood up and very rudely said that was her van and she would move. I thanked her because I wasn't going to be able to get out and I needed to pick up Colin & Marissa. The whole way out of the building she is rudely telling me how I can't drive and maybe I should go back to driving school because all I really needed to do was backup and swing my car around. I completely ignored her and once again thanked her for moving her car.

The rest of the week this bothered me. Last night I went to bed wondering if this lady would be at speech again. This morning I was worried about it and today as I picked Cade up after school I worried she would be there as well.

I have a friend who's daughter attends speech at the time as Cade. We were talking today about many different things. She also has a daughter the same age as Marissa and they are friends. We both left at the same time and Cade ran down the sidewalk ahead of me while Ann and I were talking. Ann asked me where I was parked and I pointed to my van. Not two seconds later the lady from last week flies out of her van and begins to yell at me about how rude I am for talking about her and pointing at her to other people. She then proceeds to tell Ann how I need to learn to drive and that I could have easily backed out of the parking spot. I can't even believe this is happening at this point in time. I am just speechless and almost in tears. Ann immediately pipes up that I was NOT talking about her but I was talking about my son. I just ignored the lady, but now I am super anxious about going to speech next week with Cade. What if this woman continues to harass me each week for no reason at all?

I think I am still just blown away as to how rude this lady was to me for no apparent reason and the fact she continues this on a week later. I am so non-confrontational about everything so this is so hard for me to swallow, especially when I am going to see her week after week.

Also, a quick little update on Colin. He did not run a fever yesterday after 5am so he went to Baby School today. I probably should have just taken the day off and stayed home with him though. Baby School said he did fine, but was just fussy most of the day. I know he still doesn't feel 100% but I thought for sure he would be okay. When he came home he was so fussy this afternoon. He just went down for the night about 30 minutes and I am guessing he will be up in about 30 minutes to get in my bed!

And just because I don't like to post without a picture...
I took this the other day when Colin was playing outside. He loves this cozy coupe car of Cade's. This picture makes me laugh every single time I look at it because of his hair! The static was CRAZY!
One more thing...what's going to happen tomorrow? Will the Groundhog see his shadow?
And by the way, I only follow the Georgia Groundhog!
