So I have this neighbor. She's really, really sweet, from the mid-west, in her early thirties with three kids under the age of 12.
She hosted a Pampered Chef party a few weeks ago which I didn't attend but I placed a product order online for something I used to have but somebody broke it so I've been without for a couple of years. I love Pampered Chef products. Have for years. But getting the stuff, either online or an in-home party, takes forfuckingever.
So I waited a month (!) and called her. She was out of state with her kids visiting her side of the family and was coming back last week and she'll call me when she returns and will get me my thing which has been in her garage apparently for a couple of weeks.
Friday 7/29 she'll come by around 7:00pm. Late that evening, she apologized, she got busy and rescheduled.
Saturday 7/30 she'll come by at 3:00. I get a text at ten-something that she's sorry, things got busy and she couldn't get by at 7:00 (?).
Sunday 7/31 she's supposed to be coming by today.
What keeps interrupting her and throwing of her schedule? What do you think? Fricking needy, life-force-sucking children. In case you're wondering, no I'm not sitting around here waiting. She has my phone numbers and each time she told me she'd be coming I asked her to text me when she was on her way.
There are no words to properly express how happy I am to not be a mom.
