Fanta-bulous!

Okay, so I didn't say which weekend I would update. :P
So much has gone on since I last posted that I don't even know what happened, when. But what I do know, is that I don't think it's in the cards for me to have one full good day! Every time my day is going well and I think things are finally looking up, something brings me crashing down! Take, for example, today...
My morning started out a little rocky, but I forgot about it until now...sitting here pondering my day. Anyway, work was pretty quiet which is probably the first time this week that has happened. I came home and still things were copasetic. I knew I should have avoided a phone call I made, but it had to be made. I didn't get an answer, but left a message thinking it wouldn't be returned.
Much to my surprise it was and I was cussed out for the next 15 minutes. (That's not a lie, I checked my call timer after I hung up, it was so ridiculous.) And it wasn't even anything I did, per se, nor any of that person's business what was going on. In fact, if everything went the way it was supposed to go, it wouldn't even have been an issue. But, of course, things didn't go as planned so steps had to be taken.
Not knowing my situation or what I've been going through these past few weeks (well, months actually, but for the story, I'll stick with weeks), OR even the fact that the issue with a third party had been rectified, this person the phone call was with just went off yelling and cussing and accusing...the whole nine yards!
When I finally got my five seconds--enough for her to take a breath before going in on it again--my side apparently wasn't good enough. I tried not to let it get to me, but it did (a character flaw I've been trying to work on for some time now). She told me she would call me back because she was mad and starting to cuss and needed some time to cool down...she called all worked up, it's not like it was a process. She still hasn't called back and I'm sure she won't. (She accused me of not calling her this past month when I left her a long detailed message of things and she never returned the call!)
Anyway, it's not really all that important anymore because it's done and over with and next time it won't go on for that long...I hate hanging up on people, but I also hate being walked all over. The only reason I let her go on for so long this time is that I figured she needed to get things off her chest and vent--whether things were my fault or not.

On a happier note...last weekend I got to visit a good friend of mine and her little boy. It was so nice to see him and my boys playing together so nicely. Despite the closeness in distance we don't see each other that often so it was great to catch up! I need to get better at keeping in touch with people and visiting and all that good stuff. One of these days I'll get there! ;)

I was offered a full-time position at work this week. Work has been great! I work with some of the best people you could ask for. If there's something that's just too much for you, they jump right in, without even hesitating! I was pretty fortunate with the group of kids I'm working with too! I guess they're not really kids since they're 19 and 20 years old. I'm just so glad it's been a positive experience so far.

I can't really think of much else that has been going on lately. As crazy as things have been, it's pretty much the same old same old. Nothing too new and exciting to report. LOL I'm sure though, once I close this post and shut the laptop I'll remember something else to post. But for now, I'm going to call it a night.
