Lessons Learned....

What did I learn Friday night?  Well obviously that I need to train harder to be the competitive drinker that I know I am.

But if you'll remember from the beginning of the story, I said Tara and I are fighting.  Why are we fighting?  Because she's not a good friend.  Awhile back you'll remember that she spilled the beans about something I didn't want shared.  Friday night?  She ditched out on me, said she was hanging over at those people's house, then went to the local watering hole where she spent her evening.  This is the second time she's done this to me.  She was the first person that my sister called to come and get me.  Her response?  "She can find her own ride home".

Then what did she go and do?  She went to my house to "check" on my kids and instructed them that if the baby woke up, they were to call her immediately, then proceeded to drunkenly talk shit about me to my kids.  Yeah, real fucking nice.  My kids are old enough to stay home and they're old enough to keep an eye on the baby.  I wait until he's sleeping before I go anywhere for a reason, once he's down, he's down.  Sure he wakes back up at some point, but they know how to make a bottle and plug it into his mouth and he falls right back to sleep.  Saturday night he went to bed at 8:00 and didn't get back up till 7 the next morning.

I can say with certainty that Nicole is my one "true" friend.  It was midnight, she had just gotten off work and picked up her kid and she drives all the way up there to get me, makes sure I get home and then takes me to get my car the next day.  That's a friend.  Sure, she made fun of the situation, but who could resist?  If it wasn't me, I woulda thought it was terrifically funny!

Saturday night Tara had the nerve to text me to see what I was doing that night.  I didn't respond.  Finally she texted me again and I replied, you should know better than to talk shit about me to my kids....  She doesn't even remember what she said.  Funny, considering both my kids remembered exactly what she said.  Whatever.  I just really don't need all that right now, so I'm just gonna lay low and do what I gotta do to get through this holiday season.  Kyle comes back in a little over two weeks and honestly, I don't care if we go out or do anything, I just wanna chill with him, laying around doing nothing together.  That would make me happy right now, seeing as my friends totally suck.  Well, with the exception of Nicole, who I'd help out anytime......
