On My Mind

I just have this one thing on my mind that I have to get off.....

Why do people feel that they have to ruin your happy moments in your life? My last post shows a picture of, what I would call, the cutest little pregnancy announcements....EVER!! Well, we mailed those out on Monday morning and I was so excited because I knew my phone (or Dales) would start ringing Tuesday afternoon. I got my first response at noon on Tuesday when someone text us both saying Congrats. Then later that night I got 2 more phone calls which were from close friends who were SOOO excited for us. They asked me lots of questions and made sure I was doing well. THEN...Dale calls another friend about something else and that friend goes on to tell him Congrats, but precedes to knock the way we told people we were pregnant. He (or in my opinon SHE) didn't like that we sent them something in the mail...why couldn't we tell them in person? WHAT.......

First I want to know, what the HELL does it matter how we told you...be glad we told you in the first place, second, that is so disrespectful. If you are a friend of mine at all you would know that I take a lot of pride in making ALL of my homemade cards. If you get a store bought card from me you better believe that I am going to tell you exactly why I couldn't make you a card and really there is no good excuse for why I didn't make you a card. Third, you may feel like how we announced our pregnancy was wrong, but you don't need to expression those feelings. Frankly, I don't care how you feel because I feel like I did the right thing...but telling me that what I did was wrong is not the right thing to do in this situation. Because you took the one truest, happiest, moment of my life and you ruined it...I didn't do that to you when you told us you were expecting! Friends don't take another friends happiness and smash it into the ground the way you did...but then again, this has shown me what kind of a friend you are and will always be.

Dale thinks I'm overreacting, but I keep telling him that I'm hormonal and I need to express these feelings. The only reason why I'm blogging about this is because I may never get the chance to express these feelings to the couple who made these remarks, but this is their third and finally strike against me. I have had several situations with these people that I can't even get into and I have NEVER once gotten an "I'm sorry" from them and I know I never will.

Now, that I have that out I feel a little bit better, I will only truly find happiness when they hear this for themeselves.
