Have you ever been so disappointed...

**Cricket1** · 12-10-2007, 09:55 AM

in people??? I just want to go to bed and pull the covers over my head right now. Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself or something, but geez.....

Last night, I was out with friends and all they did was talk about themselves and what was going on with them. I don't mind listening and being a shoulder, but I'm having a heck of a time lately and could have used a shoulder. I suppose I should have spoken up, but I was being the listener.

Today, ds #2 was suppose to have a playdate. The mom flaked out and dropped her child off at another friend's house (this has happened before and I'm mostly upset with myself that I fell for it again). Great--my morning to wallow in self-pity is now gone! LOL. I just need a good cry and can't get a second to myself. Now ds is disappointed and keeps begging to have another friend over.

DH has not been pleasant lately--he has been speaking harshly to me and I don't like it. Normally, I would snap right back, but this weekend all I could muster was, "Please don't talk to me like that." Geez--nothing like kicking a person when they're down. My mom is having a lot of health problems lately and I'm really stressed out over it. You'd think that he would keep that in mind.

Okay--thanks for listening to me vent. Sorry for being so whiney!

I'm so sorry, Cricket1. When it rains it pours, doesn't it?

Hope things take a turn for the better. Here are some good vibes

and prayers going out to you, that your life and mood right now turn around.

Big hugs to you hun, I DO understand, right now I'm so disgusted with the human race I want to pull the covers over my head too, and there's really nothing I can do about it.

Wish I lived closer, we'd have a good gab session, get it all out and solve all the problems of the world!

You're NOT being whiney, your human

Hugs,
kj

I'm sorry too! I love my dh, but his level of speaking to me is very often at an "irritiated raised voice level" - speaking harshly. I understand the snapping back. Right now things are great in our house.....but you never know what lurks around the corner...............

How's your son with the playdate no-show? Can you two go the the library or something together?
((hugs))

Out of total pity for the poor child, we're going on a lunch date to McDonald's. We've played games and had fun, but unfortunatley for him, I'm not a 5 year old boy!

**Nantahala** · 12-10-2007, 11:01 AM

*hugs* I've been there; I hope the afternoon out helps ease the blues.

**FrugalMomof3** · 12-10-2007, 12:04 PM

BIG HUGS to you as well

I think for me that's why I dont have many friends, I stay at home and do for the family and the house and rarely ever go out, not even with DH (that's his choice).

**miss_thrifty** · 12-10-2007, 12:10 PM

Sorry cricket that your having such a crappy day. hhuuggssss

Cricket, I believe your friend issue is more common than not.

I attract people who only want to talk about themselves.
If I try to test it....and say something about me.....they cut me off and say "anyways"...and they go right back to talking about themselves hahahah!!! :O

I have slowly let those selfish friendships die.

I am super family oriented and dont enjoy socializing as much as I should.
I just like my own family better than "friends" terrible I know....LOL...

**MOMMYDEAREST** · 12-10-2007, 12:53 PM

The older you get......the better you get @ seeing who your true friends are!!! Honestly I only have about 3-4 good friends. Sometimes its hard to get out of the house, but when I do, its sometimes hard to find 1 of those 4 friends who are available. Good luck honey

**baxjul** · 12-10-2007, 01:17 PM

I completely understand!!!!! I've been feeling the same way! I hope you start to feeling a little better.

And, it must be male PMS month because my hubby has been the same way lately.

**Cricket1** · 12-10-2007, 01:27 PM

LOL about the male PMS. Must be--I love him to pieces, but sometimes he just downright scolds me. I'm not a child and I do have a brain in my head. That's okay--one order of cold shoulder coming right up!

**lwlynch** · 12-10-2007, 01:36 PM

Don't worry about feeling sorry for yourself.. I have about the same issues all the time. People in general disappointment me.. I just try not to let it bring me down. Now you did see I wrote try. I find that some people are genuinely out for themselves. My children have been disappointed alot over the years, by others.. especially since I babysit..
I wished you lived closer.. I would let you come and play at my house..
Hang in there and lots of hugs for you..
Tomorrow will be brighter.. get a choc bar and a diet coke and a find a sunny spot.. Makes me feel better..

**Luv2BeFrugal** · 12-10-2007, 05:41 PM

I'm sorry...sounds like you're having an all-around rough time of it.

I hope things get better really soon!!!

That's not whining...it's venting...and it's perfectly healthy!!

Sending you big hugs!!!

Oh sugar, I have felt like this all last week, this past weekend, and yesterday as well. When I got up this morning, I was determined to have a good day and I just took the dogs on a nice long walk in the woods this afternoon. They loved it and it really lifted my spirits to just get out of the house for a bit.

As far as Hubby goes, he kinda knows when to stay clear, LOL. He called this morning to see how I felt since I had a horrible stress headache most of the afternoon yesterday and last night. He has his attitude moment's though, and it's the pitts.

I do hope you feel better soon. We are all here for you sweetie!

Love and
