Sad Rant (maybe a little long)

[K9karen]

Hey, I have a stressful life too. Don't we all?
When I got personal calls at work during a busy day (which was always), all I would say is "Call you back..can't talk now". Sometimes it was easier for friends to get a hold of me at work, knowing I'd HAVE to answer the phone. But I didn't rip their heads off. But that's just me.

Honestly, I would have sent the same kind of card! And if I was on the receiving end, I'd laugh my a$$ off and probably feel guilty for treating you badly.

I guess you know who your friends are. I know the kind of person you are, Donna, and you don't deserve this. Brush it off. She knows your number. Please wipe your tears and accept a {HUG} from me.

Thanks Sandie. I'm going to leave her be. MAYBE she'll call me, maybe she won't, but I refuse to apologize anymore. Christ was only on the cross for a week.

Just a thought - when you originally called about the air pump and she answered the phone - maybe she was in a situation where she would have loved to BLOW UP at the clients/people in her office. But being in a work situation she couldn't - so YOU got it!

I would just back off and let her be for a while - sounds like she has way too much on her plate and the air pump question just blew her off course.

Gini,

That was my thinking too. Believe me, I've been there, done that. It's
never pleasant & I feel bad afterwards , but, it does happen.

I haven't heard a word from her since Saturday.

I know you feel horrible - but let it be for now - she will come around!!

And YOU have apologized enough!

I'd have to stand on the side of your daughter and others that said she OVER(really)OVERreacted.
no you shouldn't apologize anymore.
if she calls you in a couple weeks and acts like things are peachy - tell her that SHE hurt YOU but move on.
You don't deserve to be treated like that especially by a "friend".

lick your wounds and curl with a kitty.
