Need some venting space

Okay...most of you know that one of my best friends Jamie is now dating Chloe's dad. This puts me in an awkward position. I wouldn't consider myself good friends with Shaun...Chloe's mom....but we are together alot since the girls are attached at the hip. So last night I just picked Chloe up to bring her and Meg to church and my cell phone rings...its Shaun asking what Jamie's last name is. I give it to her because I figure that it would be more of a fight if I was to ask "why do you want her last name"...which really was what I was thinking. So she says "great now I can let everyone know what it is." and then went right into about the concert that we are going to in a week. ARRRGGGG I mean honestly why does she freakin care what her last name is or that he is dating....SHE WAS CHEATING ON HIM....does that not make sense to anyone. I understand and have listened to her tell me about the problems in their marriage...but you leave...you don't cheat. I have been a pretty good ear and given her some consultation but really why do you care who the girlfriend is!!!! So now I don't know what she thinks....and really should I care? Also, should I call her and say..."look I am in an awkward position here since I am friends with both....I just want to stay neutral and keep out of it." or do I just act like it is no big deal. I am not going to enjoy the concert and stress the whole evening spending 6 hours with someone that is thinking ill thoughts against one of my best friends...who honestly is a really great person and an innocent bystander in all of this. I sat last night after the phone conversation and thought. Part of me wanted to call her back and say "What the F?" but then part of me wanted to call and tell her that I really want no part of this. I didn't call her because I knew she had left her house with her best drinking buddy and I am sure they were up to no good. I am just hoping that they didn't do anything to Jamie. Jeesh, that statement makes me mad....are we in high school? Why should I have to worry about someone doing something when they are grown women?

Okay enough of that. Chris is going tomorrow night to the Hornets game...which is cool. I think I am going to get a sitter for Griffin...I need some time alone. Really alone. I think I will turn off all the lights of my house and sleep. Or I need to scrapbook....not sure which one to do. Griffin has been anti-nap lately. Makes my days alot longer. Oh, did I mention that I have a new housekeeper....LOVE HER!! Chris has always said to get one...and I finally decided I have enough on my plate and it is fine to get a little help. And she is really good. My house looked wonderful....which made me feel bad because how bad was it before?

Kim...just so you know I have rescheduled my doctor appointment so no worries there.

Okay...well I have ranted enough.....check ya later!!

I would love to have a housekeeper. But you know since I sit on my butt eating bon bons all day. Which just burns me up that people (admit it, you think it too) have this idea that I do nothing all day. Usually I sleep in only 1 day a week (I took 2 because of a fight, and I didn't want to be by the hubby). I do laundry always, straighten the house always (and get nowhere). It is tough to always be entertainment for a 5 year old. I am very exhausted even though I "only stay home." Anyway, that was my rant on your rant. I would tell Chloe's mom that it is all making you uncomfortable and to please leave you out of it. That's just juvenile. Are they passing notes about Jamie too? As for needing to be alone. . .um, preaching to the choir sister!! Can I get an Amen?

At some point you may just have to say to her, as calmly as you can, that you're stuck in the middle here and don't want to be part of her vandetta. It always seems like the one that caused the trouble in the first place can't let go once everything's fallen apart. Hopefully she'll be adult enough to leave you out of that part of her life.
By the way, I won't be off your case until you actually GO to the doctor!!! Some gold stars for the appointment, but until you've actually kept it I get to pick on you about it!! I may even resort to leaving annoyingly catchy tunes on your voicemail......(how's that for incentive??)
