So, I was having a pretty good day today. I got a lot accomplished, had a great time talking with the “geeks” at the Fedora release party (hosted by UTOS), and spent some time with friends at a game night. I even saw a friend from my senior year of high school! Too bad one sour grape had to open his mouth.

It’s funny how sometimes people get along when there is playful teasing (which sometimes becomes too serious)  on some days, but other days it just ends up bad. Tonight was one of those nights. Although I, in my opinion, didn’t do anything to encourage it (although most other times I do), this person snapped at me and told me to “shut up” and at the same time appeared to hurt his sister’s feelings. All because of a game. Sad really.

Later, when I made a comment about child birth and c-sections (which was directed to the other women in the room, he wasn’t even in my sight of vision) he made EXTREMELY rude comments to me. The pregnant women were commenting on how, once you have a c-section, the doctor prefers to do a c-section from then on out. I made the comment that it’s usually the case unless you get “lucky” and have a speedy natural delivery. He tried correcting me. I said that I made the comment based on a friend’s experience. He got huffy and rude and said that I need to go stick my head in the toilet and flush because I’m so hard headed. (WHAT?!?!?!) He also said that all I do is talk to argue (which I would say the same about him) but I “argue” about nothing.  I pointed out that I didn’t start anything tonight and that I’d rather not speak to him. He said something about his mom’s delivery at some point in the “conversation” in which I replied, “I’m sorry, but I wasn’t talking about your mom, I was talking about my friend and yes, a natural childbirth can happen after a c-section.” He told me to “shut up” two more times and then told me to leave. Yes, TO LEAVE! It wasn’t even his apartment or his party!!! What a jerk. I said I was done talking to him, that I was ignoring him, and jumped back into the childbirth conversation with the pregnant women. He, of course, made more comments behind my back to his wife, and I even think he might have said something to Steve too…although I didn’t ask.

Maybe he was having a rough night…but he was rude. Simply rude. I don’t even think he cared…or maybe he didn’t notice…that his comment earlier (ABOUT A GAME) hurt his sister’s feelings. So that’s it….my new pet peeve. Seriously…If someone is done talking to you and tells you so….SHUT UP! Especially when you are out of line.

This is proof that Evie likes her dolly out of the water, but not in the water.

Evie has started showing interest in sleeping in Spencer’s bed. So, we’re letting her. She lays down, pulls the blanket on herself and puts her head on the pillow. I sit in the hallway where she can see me, that way she knows not to get up…plus it gives me time to read a book before I lay down. After she falls asleep, and after Spencer passes out on the couch or our bed, we put him in bed with her…that way they have the “body warmth” and they both stay asleep. Unfortunately, they both tend to wake up throughout the week wanting to cuddle (which isn’t so bad but I like my bed). This way, they can cuddle next to each other. So far, it’s been great! Evie, instead of waking up at 3:00 am, has been waking up at 6:30 or 7:30 am…which, to me, is WONDERFUL! We’ll probably get her her very own big girl bed soon. Here’s a picture I snuck while they were sleeping.
