Having A Bad Day
If I could have a bad day once in a while, today was the day for a bad day in the works. I just found my replacement glasses on my face I have bad for only a few days broken in the SAME spot as my first pair o glasses I had for 11 months BEFORE THEY BROKE. I called Jackie this morning and told her that my replacement glasses are now broken in the same place/spot as my first pair. I am not happy.
Also, Deb making her son understand that friends are not as important as family at age 17 made me feel more upset when she said friends are not as important than family. I disagree with what she said. I told Jackie that her words did not settle in me who was already upset about my glasses. My situation is different from Deb’s so n Tyler at this time because Tyler is a teenager who needunderstand that he needs to abide by rules in his parent’s home. After Jackie explained it to me over the phone three times, I understood it was not directed at me. Even my friend Julie McCool said that yes, my situation is different, yet the situation I felt so uncomfortable about was not against me. Family is more important than friends when it comes to family outings for teenagers who live with their parents. I remember a time when I had to go to a family get together over standing up with my best friend Brenda McCune at her communion service at St. Mary’s in Milton, Wisconsin. Brenda understood I had to go, but I did not understand and pouted about it for a while missing my friend’s important day. Ugh! I was not happy.
Feeling Better
Although Deb’s comment about friends and family rubbed me the wrong way, I admit that I am feeling a little better now. Still upset about my second pair of glasses breaking, and Deb’s comment about family and friends has been cleared up, I am feeling better. Remembering my situation with important family things going on, I had no choice in missing Brenda’s important day.
