Apparently Sunday Was Evil B@#%* Day!!

Man, what a horrible God's day it was yesterday! 

Here's the skinny...

So I had this "friend" that I had started babysitting for overnights on the weekend.  She started as a stranger and then we became friends.  Well, I needed extra money, so I offered to babysit M-F for her.  Since she didn't want to get up early and bring them to me (she lived about 20 min away) it was decided that they would stay the nights M-Th... which somehow turned into Sun-Th and sometimes Friday.  Well, she would come up Wednesday nights, conveniently after her kids were asleep.  She got off work at 5 and would somehow come up with excuses not to show up for a couple hours.  She was only paying me $150 a week, which turned into me only getting paid every other week, but her often saying she wasn't sure if she would end up having it.

So, apparently today she somehow decided it wasn't important to ask me what time it was okay to bring the kids up.  She texts me to inform me that she is on her way and has groceries.  I had spent the last 2 hours trying to come up with a way for my kids' dad to see them.  I tell her that we are on the road and she throws a fit.  She wanted to bring the kids ASAP.  I mentioned that it would be nice for David and I to get 5 minutes of alone time since we hadn't had any alone time for like 2 months!  Apparently this was totally wrong of me to say because she kinda flipped.  And when I asked how late she was planning to stay she said she needed to go home early and get to sleep.  Seriously??

So, me being super passive with my "friends" I don't say anything, but David decides to text her and let her have it.  She then sends me an angry text saying she is gonna have to figure something else out and I ask her if she means tonight or forever... this was her response:

"Forever.  That's bull.  I don't appreciate it... I pay you 300 dollars every two weeks and bring food up everytime I come up and everything.  I'm sorry that I had something I need to do so that I have money.  I didn't get the check I was supposed to get in the mail, so I have no money right now.  I wasn't planning on doing ANYTHING tonight when I went home but eat and go to bed because I was planning on getting up early for work.  I wasn't told anything about you wanting me to stay later for karaoke or anything, if it's not going to work, I guess I'll figure something else out.  Idk what... But something."

A) The only "groceries" she brings is when she occasionally brings milk, which is mostly consumed by her 18 month old.  But that is like pulling teeth because she says she knows her daughter isn't the only one to drink it.

B) I HAD mentioned going to karaoke to her several times today and yesterday.

Needless to say I don't expect to get paid Friday for last week.  Needless to say I won't have enough to pay rent.  UGH!

THEN...

As some of you may know from following my FB, Tweets or blogs, I've been feeling really icky lately and have not wanted to be out in public in over a month.  So I finally muster up the courage to go to the bar down the street because a pal does karaoke and it was his birthday.  Barely get a foot in the door before the bartender loudly proclaims that David isn't technically supposed to be in the bar because he haggled about his tab over a month ago.  WTFrench??   It made me feel trashy and I was mortified.  I know this was total pansy of me, but I hugged the friend and his girlfriend and quickly exited out the side door before I started bawling.  I don't recall ever being embarrassed like that in public, but maybe I am burying it in the darkest corners of my mind.

I don't know.  I'm so sick of people who don't know how to treat other human beings... Have we all forgotten the golden rule?  ARGH!!!

Karma

I don't know if I've mentioned yet or not how big of a believer I am in karma. I believe that good people put off a vibe that makes other people around them feel good. Bad people put off a negative vibe that brings bad things upon themselves and those around them. Unfortunately, good karma does not always ward off the bad karma floating around.

I try to be a good person. I know I'm not perfect, nor do I aspire to be, but I do want to be a good person. That's why it hurts me when people don't know me and judge. This adds to my reason behind this years resolution- not to judge people.

I think there is a difference between saying, "she shouldn't be wearing those jeans" and saying, "I don't want to know her because of the jeans she's wearing." Now, that wasn't the best example ever, but I think you get my point.

Anyway, back to karma. I wish everyone could just put forth a better vibe. It's hard enough living in this world without negativity bringing us down. So, the next time you do someone wrong, think about that golden rule. Try to do good things for people and be a good person. It's really fun!
