ok
now I'm gonna complain
an old friend who didn't return voicemails during our megamove and crisis last Dec. then sent texts on and off the last 6 months saying how much she and her daughter miss us....every time, I called back with in days of her text [because I was usually at work when she txt'd a message]
she didn't return the voicemails
then she text last month more...I txt back thinking maybe she would read it and told her that Mom had just been diagnosed with cancer and daughter was sick...I would call her because a visit wasn't good that weekend
I left a voicemail a few days later too...nada
Then a few weeks ago, she txt again AND had her daughter leave a voicemail. I txt'd her that I was at work and would call back. She txt back asking who it was. I told her, and she didn't reply or call
okay, so she called again on Thurs. while I was teaching....couldn't answer...she doesn't leave voice mails...then she txt later Thurs that they miss us. So I told her to come by Fri. or Sat. She said Sat. is good. I said okay and that I'd be home all day...let me know what time.
soooooooo we hung around home over a half a day waiting...I could have txt her to ask what time this morning, but she never answers my calls or voicemails so I left it up to her...I had to get groceries, so I finally left with the kids thinking maybe she was planning on an afternoon visit. I got the groceries and txt her to ask when she was coming [kids were quiet and upset she hadn't come so I didn't want them to hear me call]
It's 5pm...nada
that's just messed up...it's funny because I hesitated to tell the kids until I knew for sure she was on her way
they are bummed
and I'm a little perturbed with the guilt trips, messages, and unreturned calls
our daughters were babies at the same time and she was a good friend
I don't like bothering with nonsense anymore
