01/14/2003 Entry: "Closing Thoughts for Today"
Alrighty then...I'm off to bed but not without a few brief (I heard that snicker) remarks...
First off, got a phone call today from a "friend"--use that term REALLY loosely here. He is not someone I would ever EVER consider a friend, but I love his wife dearly...and suffer him for her sake alone. At any rate...he happened to call while I was on hold with Dish Network.  He phoned on my cell phone and when I answered it he says the traditional hey...blah blah blah. I'm a little shocked to hear him because frankly I thought him, his wife, and three children might be dead...as I had not heard from them in over two weeks (when they called to cancel on coming to my R's b-day party)--sounds morbid I know, but seriously...I was TRULY worried about her and the children. Now okay...so we all get a little busy and all...my gosh, I do...I can go weeks without calling the people who mean the world to me sometimes--but I don't lie about it...I say I've been busy...etc. So anyways, I'm a little distracted waiting for Stinky Business's Rep to come back on line  ...and he says "we've been trying to call you". Reeeeheeeheeehheeeheeeeeeeeeeeeelllly... (ala Ace Ventura) Okay...now tell me...why lie? Why tell me that you've been doing something which I know is not true? How do I know it's not true? Hehe Welllllllll....because before my dh went underway over a week ago he went and exchanged our old phone out for a new one because the old one was TERRIBLE...the new one is so very cool...and...it has caller ID, AND I activated caller ID...and it stores ALL of the phone calls I receive--ALL 80 phone calls I receive (and then it deletes the oldest...I am on call 43 now! Before anyone thinks I am that popular, most of those were me and the kids playing with it and my dh who calls me ALOT--yes I am a lucky chick) Uhhuh...so the point here is even if you call my house now and only let it ring ONE teeny tiny millisecond ring--guess what? My phone knows it...it's a smart little phone it is...and it TELLS me that you called. Tells me what number you called from and when...yup it do. And guess what? NO they had not tried to call me at least not since we adopted the newest member to our family--the smart phone. So then I tell the truth which is I had tried to call his wife several times--and each time I got the "we're sorry the number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable" which means their cell phone is either a) off or b) out of minutes. I'm guessing b. Either way, I did mention this at which point he says "Oh she always leaves it in the car"...eh...whatever  ...I'm thinking the dude has a serious issue...maybe like compulsive lying or something because *I* know her better than that and she DEFINATELY wouldn't have left it in the car. Truth be told he's spending all of his money on guns and hunting so he doesn't have any money to buy her minutes with...yup...(this is a man who just up and quit his job the week before Christmas...I'm not wrong about this--my dh has told me of the conversations he has had with this guy...and all I can tell you is he lies constantly to his wife about money and won't even get a checking account because he doesn't want her to be able to see how much money he makes--he is lower than pond scum--and believe me he'd LOVE for her to not get to talk to me) Okay so what's the point? I do have one...it's that he was not calling because he wanted to make sure I was okay and alive, or to tell me that his wife was okay (because she was very sick the last time I talked to her)...nah he was calling to bug me to do his taxes for him...the creep. Eh. Buy your wife some minutes so she can call me and THEN I'll do your taxes. Otherwise we have nothing to discuss. ohhhhhh...if onlyyyyyyyy I were so bold. Yah so I told him I'd find out what he wanted to know...so I'm sure he'll be calling every day now wanting me to do his taxes...how convienant. Now...I know why all the bitterness? There's alot behind all of this you'll just have to trust me on, but this guy is no good. Pray for me lol I know my spirit is not very compassionate toward this "friend" right now...
Which draws me to my next before bed rant, which is...I'm feeling particularly strange lately when people ask me when my dh will be home. The maintenance man did it (in his defence, he's an ex-Coastie so dh has talked to him alot before)...the "friend" did (freak)...the Scoutmaster did (perfectly innocent)...the other person I am working with on the newsletter did (again perfectly innocent)...all these guys are very curious about when dh gets home. Used to I wouldn't really think much of it, but it occured to me earlier this week that I am in a very vulnerable position.  And everyone usually knows when my dh is gone. SO...what should I say? He could be back any minute? lol That's what I want to say...his schedule is so strange he could be on his way home now. Hey, it would make me feel better...but then I'm a liar just like my "friend" I just told the story about. Sad innit? (isn't it) My other option is to tell them "that's classified information"...hehe...do the whole secret agent voice and insinuate that it's so classified their lives would be in mortal danger if I told them. HEY...he works for the CG...gonna be a bonafide part of Homeland Security...I could say that and quite possibly not even be stretching the truth. Hehe...oh the thoughts of a tired mind. 
I'm going to bed. Please note that does not mean I will be sleeping. Sleep still evades me...it's a real problem I know (thanks Mom ~winks & hugs~) Love you Mommy.
Be blessed dear ones!

PS to my dear Momof4 (aka S.C.) didja see that cartoon I posted for you yet? AND I did try to call and forced myself to talk on your answering machine cause who knows...maybe you have a smart phone now too so resistance is futile and paranoia runs rampant...if I don't leave a message you'll know I called and pulled the I'll hang up before they know it's me...nope not in the smart phone era...no siree Bob (that's your Bob, not mine)
